Birchbox Subscription Box Review + Coupons – July 2016 Rise & Shine Box

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.

Our ideal morning? A hot cup of coffee (or two), an energy-boosting snack (or three), and a fuss-free beauty routine that helps us get out the door fast and look great. This month, we’re spotlighting the one thing most of our subscribers say they won’t leave the house without: mascara. In addition to a lash-enhancing favorite, this box is filled with products to help you face the day—and make your a.m. a little more fun.

Every month you can select between a sample choice to get a box tailored to your profile, or a pre-curated box. This is the curated Rise & Shine Box – you can get this box free with a Birchbox purchase of $50 and the coupon code SHINEBOX!

The card gives brief details on each item. Remember to go to to Birchbox.com/MyBox to review your samples for points!

Everything in the box!

Living proof. No Frizz Shampoo ($1.03) & Living proof. No Frizz Conditioner ($1.03)

A bonus sample packet of the shampoo and conditioner was included. It’s color safe and blocks humidity! Sign me up because my hair hopped on the crazy train today and went for a ride!!! It uses a patented molecule to shield strands against humidity instead of weighing it down. 

Milk Makeup Sunshine Oil ($8.61) Eeek! I applied this near my eyes before reading the ingredients (or sniffing it) – grapeseed, avocado, grapefruit peel, tangerine peel, mandarin orange peel, and lemon peel. It got a little stingy up in there, but it is super moisturizing and the rollerball works great! I love the packaging for this product and the invigorating scent.

Klorane Smoothing and Relaxing Patches with Soothing Cornflower ($3.43) This is so great because it’s a real multitasker – just slap them on in the morning while you have your coffee instead of daubing eye cream!

Elizabeth Mott It’s So Big Volumizing Mascara ($6.36) The name is kinda raunchy but I like this mascara! It gives good volume and has a fun brush. It does tend to flake a bit but I don’t have any smudging issues with this one.

Living proof. No Frizz Nourishing Styling Cream ($6.75) Like the shampoo and conditioner this super light-weight cream (more like a gel) coats each strand and doesn’t weigh your hair down!

dr. brandt PoreDermabrasion ($7.25) This is a great exfoliating/mini dermabrasion product with both physical exfoliation and salicylic acid. I am thinking that would be helpful for people new to exfoliating their face regularly – sometimes you can break out when you first start. I don’t know about this product for a rise & shine box – I never use this kind of item in the morning!

Apart from the Dr. Brandt (which I love) I thought this box was well-curated and focused on that rise & shine routine. It had about $34.5 in value which is pretty fantastic and I’ll use everything – but most especially the hair products, which were totally on point for July!
