The Newest Beauty Sample Box: GLOSSYBOX hits the US! Box Opening

I have such exciting news for all of you US-based sample box lovers...(insert drum roll here please)...GLOSSYBOX will launch soon in the USA! Yes, that's right, the much-loved and immensely popular international beauty box is just about to open subscriptions for the USA version of the box!

I am so excited that I get to preview this box for you dear readers! I know that many of you are fellow beauty-sample box subscription junkies like me. ;) Do we really need another sample box? Ha-ha! You know it!

I am going to go ahead and tell ya'll that this particular GLOSSYBOX Preview Box is pretty much the best sample box that I have ever opened. But, take note: This preview box is not necessarily like the boxes you will get if you subscribe to Glossybox. From my understanding, this preview box was made to be "extra special" because it is the inaugural box. So, keep that in mind while reading. This review is for this inaugural preview box only as I really do not know how the contents will look for the monthly boxes. I can not fully evaluate this subscription service at this time as I can only speak to the contents of this box specifically. You guys know how it is and how I fee: I feel that you need to give any subscription service *at least* 3 months (or 3 boxes) to get a good "feel" for the value for the price and your general satisfaction with the service. So, just keep all of that in mind as you read my review. I can talk about this fabulous box as well as the presentation and packaging (which I am sure is similar to all Glossyboxes). But only time will tell if I like the monthly sample boxes. So, stay tuned as I will subscribe when those subscriptions open up!

As soon as the box arrived and I took it out of my mailbox, I know it would be good! How did I know? This box was *heavy*. Heavy could only mean one thing, right? That it was just loaded with products!

So, how do I like the box? What are the details for subscribing?

April 2012 Birchbox: Box Opening!

Hello Beauty-Box lovers! It is time for another Birchbox "Box Opening"!!! Oh how I anticipate this box every month!

In the vast sea of beauty sample service subscriptions, Birchbox continues to be my fave. The packaging and presentation is beautiful, the box contents are exciting and generous (mostly deluxe sized...but some full sizes ocassionally as well!), the website and Birchbox blog has great tips, videos, and more, and earning points towards discounts on the Birchbox site is always a great perk! Birchbox never dissapoints! I have sampled and discovered many great products through the Birchbox sample boxes. But more than anything, subscribing to Birchbox has just been so fun!

Are you new to my blog and are not sure exactly what Birchbox is? Well, it is a monthly beauty sample service. For $10 per month, Birchbox sends a beautiful box full of 4-5 deluxe sized samples right to your door. The samples chosen for you are based on your beauty profile that you set up online. You can review the products/give feedback on the Birchbox site to earn points towards product discounts in the Birchbox store. The samples are generous and from mostly high end or botique brands.
