Ok I admit it, I am a self professed beauty product junkie! I am a sucker for a salesgirl telling me that "this cream will take away all of your crows feet in less than a week", or that "this mascara will make your lashes look a full 2 inches longer...literally!"
Being in love with beauty products does have it's perks though...like when you find that product that really does make you look as good as you feel, or cause you to get carded the next time you go stock up on prosecco! But being a beauty babe can make you feel really bad, really fast, when you realize that you just blew $20 on a lip gloss that is so bad no one can look you in the eye, and you realize that your lips actually looked better before they were glossed!
So considering my love for beauty, but my disdain for "beauty product buyer's remorse," I am very intrigued by the new beauty website: www.birchbox.com.

According to the Birchbox website, this is how the company works:
"Every month, you'll receive four or more deluxe samples from high-end beauty brands, spanning makeup, skincare, hair products, fragrance and more. We promise no skimpy, messy foil packets...you'll also get access to the Haute Box (coming soon), your go-to source for useful product how-tos, insider finds, and video tutorials that will help you get the most out of your samples.
We offer three membership styles:
Love your samples? Great! You can purchase full-size versions directly through Birchbox.com. All your purchases earn you points that can be used toward more products."

So what do you think? I must admit that I am quite intrigued by the possibility of getting 4 new beauty samples a month, without the commitment of buying a full size bottle of each of these products!
I am tempted to sign up for this but is it worth $10 a month?
What do you think...is this a BEAUTY DEAL or a BEAUTY DON'T?!
