October 2012: Birchbox

[youtube=http://youtu.be/3sdpGIJeiFg]

What to find out what I got in this month's Birchbox? Then check out this video I made!

I wasn't overly trilled with this month's box but I will continue to stay loyal to Birchbox as they have outstanding customer service. This was my sixth box to date! Perhaps someday down the line, I will stop receiving the boxes.

Nail of the Day - Color Club Put a Pin In It

Today's nail of the day post features a special nail polish. This nail polish by Color Club was created in a collaboration between Birchbox and Color Club. I don't exactly understand the name of this polish but hey, it's a gorgeous color :) I got this nail polish in my September Birchbox. Birchbox describes this color as a "gilded rose gold", which is pretty much a perfect description of the color.

I really this nail polish! Color club polishes have excellent pigmentation and this polish is no less! The only problem I have with these polishes is that they are extremely difficult to take off your nails. Besides that, I love them!

Full size Color Club polishes retail for approximately $8.00 dollars.

My Birchbox Story!

I have been pretty much obsessed with my Birchbox subscription lately and though I would share with you how I exactly got stared with Birchbox.

For those of you who don't know, Birchbox is a monthly beauty subscription service where you get samples of beauty products every month in the mail, for only $10.00 dollars!

Back in January 2012, I had signed up for the MyGlam beauty bags and thought it was a really cool concept. I had participated in the service for a few months and thought it wasn't very good. The products weren't all that great, everybody got basically the same things and the customer service wasn't spectacular. I did like the bags but besides that there was nothing special about MyGlam.

After I cancelled by MyGlam subscription, I wanted to try a different service out. I decided on Birchbox for several reasons. First, I heard they had excellent customer service. Second, they had a great selection of products they gave out to subscribers. Third, the reward system/ store  was very intriguing to me.

I have been with Birchbox now since the spring and it has been such a rewarding experience! I have tried so many new products and have found some new favorites too! My favorite things to get in a Birchbox are perfume samples and the lifestyle extras :)
