January Korean Beauty Birchbox

2016 January Birchbox #beauty #bbloggers #birchbox

It’s time for my January Birchbox Unboxing! Just a reminder: Birchbox is a monthly subscription with a base price of $10/month. If you subscribe to the base subscription you get 4-5 samples per month, however, if you up your plan to $30/month then you will also get 2 full-size products in your box each month. Either way you can participate in the “Sample Choice” each month, for no extra charge where you can choose an item in your box (or get a guest editor’s box) for that month. For more information on Birchbox click here.

For the month of December Birchbox has partnered with Charlotte Cho, co-founder of Soko Glam for this month’s Editor’s Choice box. The sample choices for this month were all Korean Beauty themed. As I have no real experience with Korean Beauty, I decided to go with the Editor’s Choice. The Editor’s Choice box contained a small bottle of Goodal Waterest First Essence, a tube of IPKN Flash Cream Radiant Primer, a tube of RE:P Bio Fresh Mask with Real Calming Herb, a bottle of TONYMOLY Delight Tony Tint in Red, and one Manefit Beauty Planner Cucumber Soothing + Moisturizing sheet mask. There was also a bonus duo of Goodal Yerba mate Bubble Peeling and Goodal Yerba Mate Cleansing Foam.

Those were all the items in the January Korean Beauty Birchbox. While I felt that this box was an excellent way of getting started in Korean Beauty I ultimately have decided that this will be my last Birchbox for awhile. The boxes are just so hit and miss and I’d rather save my $10/month for something like the Target Box or the Macy’s/Sephora Boxes that I am on the waiting list for!

    There is a waiting list for Sephora boxes? I didn’t even know they had a subscription box. Can’t wait until your first Sephora box reveal. Hope you get it soon!

    Looks like you got a box of great stuff in your Korean beauty Birchbox. I always love to see what comes in subscription boxes.

    I’m sooo not a makeup person, but I’ve considered trying Birchbox so I can get introduced to some new products! I can’t help but use the same things over and over.

    That’s going to be interesting getting different stuff from different countries to try. I have traveled all over the world and I will say that America has not cornered the market on some things.

    I usually find at least two items in my Birchbox that I love. For me, it’s just exciting to get that good mail. I want to know more about the other beauty boxes you mentioned!

    I haven’t tried Birch Box, but these products look great! Korean beauty is the new “thing”, and I love cucumber products. Thanks for sharing!

    This indeed looks like a great box and I have been thinking about order the Birchbox just to try the products. I would love to try the TONYMOLY Delight Tony Tint lip gloss and the Manefit Beauty Planner Cucumber Soothing + Moisturizing sheet mask. Thanks for sharing your honest opinion.

    I chose the regular box for January and got a couple of things I really loved. It’s fun to see the “real person” reveal of the Korean Beauty box, too!

    I agree that I think for the money I would try one of the other boxes. It seems some love this box and others aren’t so fond!

    My daughter has been wanting to sign up for a makeup box but wasn’t sure which way to go. I’ll have to let her know about birchbox.

    This looks like a pretty great box to get introduced to Korean brands; too bad about being disappointed about the boxes in general though. Hopefully you’ll find something better!

    I can’t believe now there are beauty products with yerba mate! I guess my great grandma’s sipping of the mate had some impressive properties we didn’t know about! You know I will be hunting for this product now 🙂 Thanks for telling me about it

    This looks like a pretty neat subscription box. I went through my frenzy with subscription boxes last year and I have to stay clear of them this year. Money is tight, but if I ever decided to start back I think this one would be nice. Found you at Best of the Blogosphere.

    This looks like a fun box! I haven’t tried much K-Beauty skin care but I’m so curious about it all. I’m not doing any sub boxes right now either. I hope we get off the Sephora box wait list soon lol.
