Birchbox Mystery Bonus Packs & How to Earn Birchbox Points

One of the reasons I love Birchbox so much is that they have a great points/rewards system. Even if I don't love the box for a particular month, I know I can review the items in the box, and get 10 points per item review. (10 points = 1 dollar, so with each box you should be able to earn 5-6 dollars).

If you are new to reviewing products to earn points, here's a quick tutorial on how it works:

Birchbox Mystery Bonus Packs & Birchbox Points TutorialFirst, go to view your Birchbox Box for that month, then click on any of the products. Once you are on that product page, click the "Write A Review" link. Once you do that, this screen should pop up:

Fill out your survey and get 10 points! (Make sure to review all the products from your box within the month you received it - you can't earn points for older months).

Ok, now on to the fun part - spending the points! In the Birchbox Bonus shop, they now have a Mystery Pick Two Pack sample option, and I've gotten a little addicted to it!

For every order you spend over $35, you get one Pick Two Sample Pack free with your order. (Just add the one you want to your cart, and they will deduct $10 when your other items are over $35).

Birchbox recently introduced the Mystery Pick option for the Sample Packs, and as someone who has spent way too much on Mystery Boxes, I couldn't resist. Plus I had Birchbox points to spend, so it was super easy to justify making 3 separate orders!

Here are the three different Mystery Pick Sample Packs I received in my latest three Birchbox orders:

And a quick value break down of each pack:

Birchbox Mystery Bonus Packs - A Mini Review

Nuance Salma Hayek Volumizing Conditioner - 2 oz Value $1.50

DDF Wrinkle Resist Plus Pore Minimizer Serum - .23 oz Value $11.50

Mystery Pack 1 Verdict: Total Value of $13 - not bad, and this serum gets great reviews - excited to try it!

Mythic Oil - 3 ml Value $2?

Alessandro Hand!Spa Cream Rich - 10 ml Value $9

Mystery Pack 2 Verdict: Value of about $11, again not bad at all! And, I'll use both of these items!

No. 4 Firm Hold Gel - .25 oz Value $1.50

Stila One Step Bronze - FULL SIZE Value $38

Mystery Pack 3 Verdict: Jackpot! I had no idea they were sending out full-size products in these mystery sample packs, but now I just want to buy more!

If you have any good Birchbox points/shopping strategies let me know! And definitely let us know if you have received any good Mystery Sample Packs!

Granted this blog itself is over a year old but I am curious as to how you get the survey to appear once you try to write a review? When I click “write a review” I dont get a survey to pop up, just a little box to input my review.

So, so far I received a pack containing Miss Jessie’s Quick Curls which wonders great on my straight hair, it cures the frizz and plus it smells good. The other item in the pack was a deluxe size sample of Caudalie Premier Cru The Eye Cream. I’m glad I took a gamble! I placed another today and picked the Mystery Pack again so I’ll reply again with what I receive in that one.

OMG I would have LOVED to have gotten that last mystery box!!! I thought about going mystery for my last order but had no idea what types of things they’d send out so I just did one of the normal ones – I actually wasn’t a fan of any of the items so I picked the one I figured I could trade the easiest on MUT!
