I love that each month Birchbox has a new box design. I’m a sucker for packaging, and this month’s box was adorably themed for Valentine’s Day:
Price: $10/month
Box Type: Beauty products, 5-6 deluxe samples
Why you’ll love it: Top brands, good sized samples of solid products. Their new customization process learns what you like so when you review your boxes on birchbox.com you’ll guarantee more personalized boxes. Plus, you can pick a sample you’d love to see in your box or select a pre-made box instead of leaving it to chance!

Let’s see what was inside this pretty box:
Manna Kadar Cosmetics Lip Locked in Sienna ($24 for full size) – First of all, this is a pretty sizable sample. The formula is pretty great – it’s a primer, lip stain, and gloss all in one. It goes on like a gloss but has coverage like lipstick. I like the color for sure, it’s perfect for my skin tone.
Supergoop! Daily Correct CC Cream in Light/Medium ($32 for full size) – This CC cream has SPF 35 and apparently has a shade-adjusting formula so it blends into your skin, but it looks a little on the yellow side to me. I’ve seen this CC cream all over the place so it’s pretty popular, maybe it performs as promised.
R+Co Outer Space Flexible Hairspray ($29 for full size) – I so rarely use hair spray, but I like that this is a light hold and doesn’t gunk up your hair.
Obliphica Professional Seaberry Mask for Medium/Coarse Hair ($38 for full size) – I love hair masks! It says it’s for medium/course hair, which doesn’t really apply to my fine hair, but it claims to be light enough for everyday use, so it’s probably fine. I find that deeply conditioning masks and treatments make my hair more full and voluminous, so I am all about trying it.
Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentrè ($28 for full size) – This cream is a popular go-to skin prepping product for makeup artists everywhere. I’ve seen it around a lot but have never tried it – until now! This cream not only sets a solid base for foundation, but it doubles as a makeup remover for waterproof products as well as general lotion. Love it!
Final Rating: A
I’m excited to try all of these products, especially the Embryolisse cream! This month’s box was themed around lips, and I couldn’t decide which lip product to choose during the sample choice window this month so this box was a total surprise to me. It seemed to fit my preferences really well, I’m pleasantly surprised! Sample choices for the March box should be opening up soon, I can’t wait to see what’s in store!
