Welp, my third Birchbox delivery came, and I think it's another bust. Since I've already spent $30, and haven't loved any of it, I think I may have to cancel. I really wanted to love Birchbox, I really did. Each month I kept thinking the next would get better, but after looking over all my samples, I just don't see it being worth it.
A review from last month's...I hardly ever take baths, but I wanted to try out the bath salts. It scared me when it made my tub water bright blue and smelled kinda funky. Not sure my skin felt any different afterwards either. The Luna bar was delicious, but I've already had those before. I do like the lip stain, but only used it once since I prefer my own lipgloss. The Yu-Be skin cream is kinda cool, reminds me of medicated chapstick the way it smells and feels on your lips. And I still can't figure out how to apply the eye shadow pencil...even after watching the tutorial video. It just doesn't look the same when I do it.
This month I ended up with some shimmer lotion, earbuds, perfume, mints that claim they help you stay fit, a teeny tiny lip gloss, and a pretty good sized mascara. The earbuds are kinda cool, but I'll never use them, I hate mints, I already have a mascara that I love, and the rest is so ity bity I'll barely get any use out of them. I know the point is to give you samples so that you can try stuff out and see if you want to purchase the real thing, but I was hoping the one actual full size item each month would be worth it. Plus, I've found that waiting an entire month for the next box to hopefully bring you something that you want seems like forever...especially when it just turns out to be a disappointment.
Bye bye Birchbox, or stick it out another month?

Say bye-bye! You can go to Nordstrom or Sephora to try free samples and then put that $30 to buying whatever full size item you want.
