Do any of you get birchboxes? I heard about it from a hair blog I found on Pinterest thesmallthingsblog.com I love the blog by the way. She has some really good hair tutorials.
I am thinking about doing it. $10 a month to get a box of sample beauty products. It seems like a pretty good deal to me and I like trying new products. Just wondering if anyone has done it and what your experience was like with it.
A bunch of the S&B girls get them...I've heard really mixed reviews. I decided not too, but report back if you do and like it. There are a bunch of threads about it on makeupalley.com too.

I just received my first birtchbox. The main samples are large and you get a few small samples. Wasn't a fan of the nail polish but addicted to the moisturizer in the box... $90 for 2 ounces. My husband purchased the full size for me but I'm still on my sample a week later. Large samples.
I've been getting Birchbox for the last 6 months or so. My mom got me a years subscription for my birthday. I've liked a lot of the the products, some are not so great, but I'm a total product junkie and LOVE trying new things!
My cousin had BirchBox and she thought the samples weren't that good and really small. She was on the list for MyGlam for a long time (it has a waiting list) but now that she finally has it, she vastly prefers it. It's more makeupy (she's a makeup artist) and had full size brushes and makeup.

I think it depends on what you're looking for. I have Myglam and I'm ready to cancel it. The brushes are okay, if you need a ton of similar ones. But the fake eyelashes in silver last month and the sparkly nail decals this month, really didn't do much for me.
Thanks for the reviews! I am going to check out MyGlam and the threads on makeupalley.com and if I decide to get it I'll let you all know what I think!
larzhope: That's awesome! It's so nice to hear that people are as great in real life as they appear to be. I really enjoy her blog!
