    I really should bite the bullet and ask for a gift subscription – I love trying new things, and these are such a great way to try and not commit!

    Sounds like you have gotten some great products during your subscriptions. The only one that I sub to now is Beauty Army but I have skipped the last several months. I have so many sample products to try out it’s kind of ridiculous. haha

    I’ve been wanting to try the Benefit Fake Up Concealer for quite some time now I just haven’t gotten around to purchase it. I love all of their products and this is one of the few I don’t have in my collection! BIRCHBOX looks so awesome! I think that is my year to join ๐Ÿ™‚

    I don’t have a much of a beauty routine… shucks, I barely leave my house so it would be wasted on my kittens, but I do love some of the things I see in everyone’s Birch Boxes, especially the nail polishes ๐Ÿ™‚

      The Color Club nail polishes are awesome, they are my second favorite brand of polishes. Birchbox sells them on their site for $8 with free shipping if you ever want to give them a try.

      I was afraid that because of how hyped it is that it would be one of those “I have no idea why everyone loves this” products. But it wasn’t and now it’s become my all-the-time moisturizer. My skin now feels pampered ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Love that nail color! I’ve always been on the fence on whether to start using birch box. And since I’m in college, it’s not really in a budget, but maybe I’ll have to try when I graduate.
