Each month, subscribers get a new mix of 5 beauty samples, such as makeup, skincare, haircare, and fragrance items.

I am sooo happy with the mask kit this month. I’ve never really not been happy – it’s a subscription box! Just a some girl fun and a chance to try things out. It makes me feel sad that there are so many negative posts. Samples cost $5 in Sephora so pretty much anything you get is a good deal. I agree about things like not needing eyeliner for the rest of my life🤣. It was just supposed to be fun! Something to look forward to. Let’s not lose our perspective, ok?

Are you an Ace member? I was there right when it opened up for non-Ace members and the mask kit was already gone! I was able to get my second choice but I’ve been realizing over the last few months that BirchBox with it’s tiny samples was bringing me no joy. So I did cancel yesterday. I think I would have stuck around longer if I was able to get the mask kit. *shrug*

I am so with you on this Tara… I am non-ace too and for me the choice option didn’t work for the first hour and when it did the mask set was gone. I also got my second choice of curated box and was atleast happy that I won’t receive any hair products this month but all that happiness was gone when the box came in yesterday with teeny tiny samples. I got box#2 and it has 0.1 oz of primer sample and the tiniest perfume sample I have ever seen. Sephora gives bigger samples than this for trial at no cost. I have 3 month subscription, I am definitely not renewing once that gets over

Agree! There is always that simple little ‘cancel’ button. The subs with which I wasn’t feeling too keen, I had to jettison. Nothing difficult about that at all. I keep what pleases me via subscription, and one-off when I want something that’s truly extraordinary. I never could understand why people keep paying for something that doesn’t offer them extraordinary pleasure.
Anyone know what the cleanser smells like? I’m not sure if I want to keep it or pass it on.
The Wander lip + cheek balm was a bit of a disappointment, since they only sent the color product with no sample of the clear balm.

Just open it up and try it. You own it! 😉 yYou can always use it for hand wash or bath.

I did too, I just got it today in the mail. Definitely was the right choice this month, the sizes are much bigger than typical Birchbox monthly samples. This was a great value!

It really is a great buy! I haven’t received mine yet.
