Birchbox Make-Up Testing

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at GWU chapter.

Ever wonder how you can experiment with dozens of makeup brands without the  pangs of guilt from excessive price tags? Are you interested in testing out products that have been advocated by pioneers of the beauty world? With brand partners like Shu Uemura and Laura Mercier, Birchbox offers its customers a taste of high-end of products at an affordable monthly fee of $10. Each month, clients will  receive up to five hand-picked (and specialist-approved) deluxe samples in the mail. As one member raves, “Birchbox is amazing and makes learning about products a breeze.”

Keep in mind—these samples aren’t those pint-sized tubes of perfume you’ll find at the bottom of your Sephora bag. This past July, Birchbox collaborated with Cynthia Rowley to deliver a selection of five must-have products (including a 2 oz. bottle of Redken’s “Shine Brilliance”!) for her daily beauty regime. As Birchbox continues to grow in popularity, more products will become available and more sponsors will become invested. Check it out at www.birchbox.com!
