Unfortunately, this is my last Birchbox Review. I'm sorry I'm so terribly late, but I've been downright SWAMPED this summer. I am entering my final year of college and I'm taking summer classes so I can graduate next June (yay!) but that also means I've had no vacation. (Not yay) Haha, anyways, I've decided that since almost all of the products they send are non-organic and chemically-ridden, I'd give up the service. It's been nice while it lasted, because I now have a ton of travel-sized samples for whenever, or to give away as gifts. So here goes my very last Birchbox Review. I'm contemplating finding a new subscription for organic stuff only, but I'm not sure as of yet.
$26
The concept is interesting, but I'm not at all impressed. Chemicals, chemicals, chemicals.
3-pack for $9.95
These I love the most. I keep them in my purse and use them whenever I want a little extra kick. They're lime- and minty. Very refreshing.
$29 for 1floz
I'd love this if it didn't have so many chemicals >.< Story of my life :(
$78 for 50ml
Smells like an old lady.
$10
I haven't used these but I have heard stories that they stop working quickly.
$20
Chemicals. Nuff' said.
Now, I hate to scare you all off from Birchbox because of all the chemicals; these products just aren't for me, so I quit. But if you're willing to overlook chemicals and toxins for name-brand stuff, then by all means go for it. Some people don't care what's in their skincare. I do. So Birchbox is no longer for me. The concept is amazing, and you should definitely try it or some other subscription box, but this particular one isn't for me. Maybe I'll go find an organic one! They have them :)
Now, here's a list of a bunch of other subscription services I looked up, so go have a look! Maybe one of these is the right one for me, or you.
