I bought in to the trend...

I decided that I've been a good girl lately, a savings queen if you will, so it's time to treat myself. Ever since I kicked the Bath and Body Works gig, I've not been into tips, trends and all things beauty (and I've probably saved a bundle). I'm going to give the Birchbox a try.

Hi! I'm a Birchbox.

So, what is a Birchbox? Well, from what I can tell, you fill out a beauty profile and they send you samples each month. It's $10 and you pay no shipping (at least I didn't have to pay for shipping). It also has a points system and I joined today, using a coupon code: join25monthly and I got an additional 25 points. I believe when you get 100 points you earn a $10 credit. They also have incentives for getting a yearly subscription. I am playing it safe with a month-to-month subscription and I'll keep you informed of what samples I get and how I like it.
