My March 2017 Birchbox is here. I love Birchbox! It is one of the oldest subscription boxes out there. The boxes are so cute and they come with awesome brands. I have discovered many favorite brands through this service. Every month they allow you to pick one of your samples or opt for the guest editor / featured box.
Cost: $10.00/month
Ships: To US, France, Canada, Spain, and the United Kingdom

The box print is okay this month. I couldn’t wait to dig in and see what all I received this month.
REVIEW OF ITEMS:
Arrow Enhance Waterproof Eye Brightener
This is a sample size! I really love this shade and I love that it claims to be waterproof. It is a perfect waterline color and I can’t wait to try it.
Coastal Scents Revealed Smoky Eye Shadow Quad
This is a sample size. I have the FULL SIZED palette and it is just okay. It is my least favorite of the Revealed palettes. I will be giving this sample away.
COOLA Classic Face SPF 30 Cucumber Moisturizer
This is a sample size. I have already received this sample and think it is pretty good. It is a lightweight sunscreen and smells nice. I will be giving this sample away too.
This is a sample size. It is a very nice sized sample and I can’t wait to try it. I hope it doesn’t weigh my hair down.
Juara Java Plum & Avocado Nourishing Mask
This is a sample size. It is a no-rinse face mask that deeply hydrates. I can’t wait to test it out for #maskmondaychallenge.
BONUS: R+CO DALLAS Thickening Shampoo + Conditioner
These are sample packets. I love trying new shampoos and conditioners so I will definitely try these.
Bonus: Shop These Products
OVERALL IMPRESSION:
This was an okay Birchbox! I can’t wait to try most of the products. I have canceled one of my subscriptions so I will only be reviewing one box a month. They have changed their point system which is the main reason why I loved Birchbox so much. I hope they start including FULL SIZED products now to compensate. If they do, I will stay subscribed. What did you receive in your Birchbox? Are you going to stay subscribed with the new changes? What do you think about them? Let me know in the comments below!

I’m a UK subscriber and received an anniversary Birchbox this month. I was totally underwhelmed by it’s contents… Not a single special item or something full size which in an anniversary box I’d have loved and to be honest, expected to reward customers. They also presented it in the original kraft box for ‘nostalgia’ but the whole thing just made me feel a bit cheaper out on. Prior to receiving my box I had been asked to select a lipstick shade. I had hoped therefore that this at least would be full size. No such luck. It was a They’re Real Benefit Liner and lipstick in one. Other items included a moisturising leave in conditioner and I really wish I could opt out of of hair products, a tiny can of Batiste (I was annoyed at this), a 50ml Rituals foaming shower gel which will be nice to travel with and I love rituals, so probably the best thing in there, balance me instant lift primer (there are so many balance me products I’d like to try… This wasn’t one) and this one actually looks OK, Caudalie Glow Activating Anti Wrinkle Serum. Just that there’s only 10ml so idk what to use it with or when to ensure I get the best and see if it’s worth a purchase… Any experience?
That does sound like a bummer! However, I totally want to try the Benefit liner…they look cool! You will have to let me know how that works out! I love Rituals too! I totally agree and would feel underwhelmed being this was an anniversary box! You should have had at least one FULL SIZE! What a bummer!!
I would use the serum after you apply toner..before you apply your moisturizer. Try it until the sample is finished before you determine to make a purchase. Also taking a before and after photo will help you see if it really made any difference. Try to get as close up as possible to see. Be sure to let the serum dry and sink in before applying moisturizer!
