Birchbox is a beauty sampling subscription box. You’ll get at least 5 items every month (I often get more) to try out and see what you love. Birchbox is $10 a month, plus you accumulate points after reviewing the items in your box! You’ll get 10 points per item reviewed, and 100 points are equal to $10 in the shop.
The Birchbox theme for September 2015 is You’re Beautiful – celebrating their 5th anniversary!
T he information card gives brief details on each item. My husband’s September box skipped the item information (he hasn’t reviewed his box yet) so I was a teeny surprised that they’re still printing it for the box.
Everything in my September box!
JAPONESQUE Velvet Touch Eye Shadow – Shade 05 ($9) What a gorgeous compact! It made me so happy to open it and see this beautiful work of art.
This is super blendable and highly pigmented!
Anastasia Beverly Hills Perfect Brow Pencil – Medium Brown ($2.99) One of the reasons I love sample subscriptions is that I get weensy brow and eye pencils – I greatly prefer them over full size! I didn’t participate in sample choice and took my chances and got the Anastasia Brow Pencil anyways!
This is described as a soft pencil, and I wouldn’t necessarily call it that, but it leaves a nice stroke that’s perfect for filling in brows.
L’Artisan Parfumeur L’Artisan La Chasse Aux Papillons Eau de Toilette ($3) This is a great scent – but feels a bit too summery to me for a September box discovery! I guess we’re just clawing at our memories of summer right now! Orange blossom, jasmine, lime, and tuberose. Definitely more of a niche scent than I expect to find in my Birchbox most of the time.
Acure Organics Facial Cleansing Gel Superfruit + CGF ($2.50) This is a nice gel cleanser that’s non-stripping. Always good to get something from Acure in my Birchbox!
Davines This Is a Sea Salt Spray ($10.80) Wow, I’m so happy with the size of this sample! Usually we get a weensy sample of hair products but this is nearly half of the full size. I was impressed. And the scent is unusual for a sea salt spray – sort of like beachy vanilla? It’s great! My hair has been super curly with the weather changing and I am using this today to help it along a bit! So far no crunchies!
This box came with a 20% off coupon so if you have points to spend or have been thinking about the Birchbox Limited Edition Gym Bag Heroes Box ($40) it would be a good idea to use your code on that! My box had about $28 in items in it, plus I got $5 back in Birchbox points (remember stack your points with your codes!). I’m pretty happy about that, but most especially about that gorgeous compact and the big Davines spray!

This was a great month for BirchBox! The Japonesque packaging is always just gorgeous. This is a nice shade too. Thanks for sharing!
