Final Thoughts on the August Birchbox Unboxing

August 2021 Birchbox Unboxing Final Thoughts || Southeast by Midwest #beauty #bbloggers #subscriptionbox #birchbox

The August Birchbox had a very good monetary value of $54.11. However, the personal value was extremely low on this one. I have received the Oribe mask previously, I am not a fan of peel-off masks, I am not a fan of abrasive exfoliators which is what step 1 of the 3-in-1 mask is, and I do not use self-tanner. The only “unique” and useable product in the box for me was the hand sanitizer but I could make a river and float down it with how much I currently have stocked up. Most people hoarded toilet paper during the pandemic, I hoarded sanitizer. Honestly, the only reason I am staying subscribed is that I signed up for the one-year commitment, which is coming close to renewal…

About Cassie

I started Southeast by Midwest back in 2012 as a lifestyle blog. After a few months I felt a pull towards beauty so I rebranded as a beauty specific blog. Over the years I've grown my knowledge and love of beauty products to the point that I am currently in Cosmetology school. If you'd like to know more about me contact me on any of my social media channels or at southeastbymidwestblog@gmail.com

    I love that Oribe Moisturizing Cream! I never like it when they include sample packets of products in subscription boxes– I always prefer deluxe samples (if they aren’t including a full size version) because that is the only way one can really test the product well enough to know whether it works for them (and warrants purchasing).

      I agree 100%, sample packets should be extras in subscription boxes and not count towards the count you normally get. As you said, you have no way of really learning anything about a product from a sample packet.

    I generally do not get boxes but this one seems like it has a number of useful products. I will keep posted on the next few months.

    I used to get Birchbox. I just had to cut down on expenses or I would get one again. I adored the little boxes themselves.

    Oh, I sadly agree with you, Cassie, about this box. It would be a no-go for me as well. I am sorry. I hope you can give away the items to someone who would use them. I hope next month will either be better or that your subscription will be over. Ipsy just let me know that they’re upping the price on the Ipsy Plus Bag to $28/month from $25. I cut down to every other month back in May. I still like what I’m getting and the discounted add-ons I’m buying so I guess I’ll pay the upcharge and hang on a little longer. It’s a dilemma though with these subbie boxes.

    I’ve wanted to try birchbox. I never really want to commit to entire big container of something so it’s fun yo try new samples.

    I agree samples are just a way to get a first impression, but not a way to fully get the benefits or not. Birchbox sounds like they have a lot of great products though!

    This is why I’m always worried about getting subscription boxes. You never know if it’s worth it or not. I see some pretty good products here, but I agree that the value does seem low.

    I haven’t seen a Birchbox unboxing in ages! Although I would have the same feelings as you about this one, it’s still nice to see they’re still around, considering the company is an OG in this space. Fingers crossed your September box is everything you want!
