I just received two of my monthly subscription boxes. One of the boxes is from Birchbox. The other box is from Sephora Play! Both Birchbox and Sephora provide a monthly box that contains regular and deluxe beauty samples. Moreover, the samples include makeup, skincare and hair products. In addition, the cost for each of the boxes is $10 a month, which also includes free shipping. I have been receiving the Birchbox subscription since 2016. Also, I started my Sephora Play ! subscription in 2017. Today I am going to unbox both boxes in order to discover if one box subscription is better than the other. In other words, it’s the Unboxing of Birchbox Vs. Sephora Play! March 2018.
Meet the March 2018 Unboxing Contenders
First, Sephora Play! products are in a themed cosmetic bag. I like the cosmetic bags, because they are not only adorable, they are useful. In fact, the bags are easy and travel-worthy. Also, they hold a lot of products! Next, Birchbox products arrive in a nicely decorated box. Although the box may be useful for storing products, I prefer the cosmetic bags for their ability to travel with you in your bag, or luggage.
Sephora Play! Unboxing Festival of Beauty Themed Product Samples
Because this is the beginning of Festival Season, Sephora Play! March samples are “everything you need to get into the spirit and define your style, whether you’re comping in the desert or chillin’ on your couch!”
Birchbox Unboxing Spring’s Arrival that Coincides with Women’s History Month Themed Samples
Spring’s arrival and the Promise of a New Day coincides with Women’s Natural History Month. Because this is not a coincidence, women are encouraged to take a breath for ourselves with the March 2018 sample products.
Unboxing The Cleansers
Both Birchbox and Sephora Play! included cleansers.
Unboxing Birchbox Mac Cosmetics Cleanse Off Oil
The Mac Cosmetics Cleanse Off Oil is a gentle botanical-based oil cleanser. Specifically, it removes stubborn makeup. In order to do this, ingredients such as olive fruit, evening primrose and jojoba seed can be rubbed into dry skin, then rinsed off. Of course, we are all aware that oil removes makeup , dirt and grime better than most anything else. Therefore, the Mac Oil is not only useful, it is good for your skin.
Unboxing Sephora Play! Sephora Collection Triple Action Cleansing Water (Micellar Water)
The Sephora Micellar Water is a refreshing micellar water cleanser that removes makeup from your face with one cotton pad swipe. In fact, the only water a French woman will put on her face is Micellar Water. Interestingly, Micellar water can remove impurities , as well as sooth and moisturize your skin without having to use water.
Unboxing The Hair Products
Unboxing Sephora Play! Briogeo Blossom and Bloom Ginseng and Biotin Volumizing Spray
Briogeo is a dual-action spray that provides instant volume and texture. What makes Briogeo unique are the ingredients. For example, lemon, ginseng, and other plant-derived ingredients give instant volume and more time between washes. Also, it will visibly thicken hair over time. First, you can spray your roots on dry hair for tons of volume. Next, you can spray your damp roots and then blow dry.
Oribe Straight Away Smoothing Blowout Cream Unboxing
The Oribe Cream is a styling balm that fights frizz. However, it also gives you sleek and shiny hair without sacrificing body. In addition, you use this balm on damp hair. Then you blow your hair dry.
I am going to continue this article tomorrow because it is getting a bit too long. Stay tuned to see which of the two subscriptions is worth it! And let me know if you have either of these subscription boxes. Which one seems to interest you so far??????? I love hearing your comments so use the comment box below and let’s chat.
