After launching back in 2010, Birchbox has grown – a lot. Their monthly Birchbox is a popular monthly subscription box that delivers the latest beauty and lifestyle trends for women every month. Boxes are customized based off user profiles and subscribers can find great deals on the items in their Birchbox by shopping the Birchbox online store.
Birchbox also offers a Birchbox Man monthly subscription box for men that delivers a box of top men’s grooming and lifestyle products.
Today we’re taking a look at the January 2014 Birchbox monthly subscription box for women, which arrived in a bright pink outer box.
Inside the outer box was another cardboard box with “Birchbox” printed on the lid.
Removing the lid, we found a product information card that had the “whats” and “hows” about the products included in this month’s Birchbox.
Beneath the card, we got our first peek at the contents of our January 2014 Birchbox for women. This month’s Birchbox also included a foldout with encouraging notes and tips to start the new year.
