Birchbox January 2013

Because of the frequent monthly disappointment with my Birchbox subscription, I finally decided to cancel my subscription in December. I didn't realize I was already charged for January and February. So here is my January Birchbox.

Birchbox December 2012

I was not impressed with my December 2012 Birchbox. Perhaps it may have been in part due to receiving my Ipsy bag first and being thoroughly pleased with Ipsy that this month's Birchbox couldn't stand a chance.

This may be my last Birchbox post since I have been debating for these past few months whether I want to continue on with the subscription. I've never been completely thrilled about my selection of products for some time now and I think I am ready to cancel my subscription.

Birchbox November 2012

The theme for the November Birchbox is all about giving: giving thanks, giving back and giving treats.

Instead of their usual gift wrapping tissues, they included a reusable gift envelope to fill with a treat to give to someone special.

Birchbox August 2012

This month's Birchbox focused on a back to school beauty supply kit that would transition us into the fall season. Personally, I was pretty disappointed with my August box and the only thing that got me slightly excited was the inclusion of a Schick 5 Blade Hydro Silk Razor (and that's only because I'm due for another razor soon).
