Here we are in the very heart of the Holiday Season and there is so much to do, so many places to go. Looking our best while we shop and decorate and visit makes us feel empowered and gets us in that Holiday spirit! Having a good selection of beauty and skin products on hand will help you create just the right look for whatever you plan each day.

Today we’re going to explore another small beauty sample box for women, the Birchbox monthly subscription box for December 2015. This little box costs $10/month or $110/annual subscription. It contains five beauty samples curated for different catagories including skin, hair, makeup, and fragrance in accordance with your beauty and lifestyle preferences that you provide in the Beauty Profile you complete when you create your customer account. A handy product guide is included that describes each item and gives a price. I like that!

Beauty Protector Protect & Oil sample size ($25.95 for full size)

This keeps all hair types healthy, happy and shiny. It protects hair against UV rays and heat damage while it protects, strengthens and adds a gloss to strands.

Coastal Scents styleEYES Eyeshadow Palette sample size ($12 for Full Size)

The two colors in this little palette are a matte pale pink and a shimmery mauve. Both always in fashion and great for daily use.

Coola Classic SPF 30 Cucumber Moisturizer for Face sample size ($32 for Full Size)

A lightweight formula with a refreshing cucumber scent. SPF 30 to keep the effects of the sun from damaging your delicate facial skin.

Marcelle BB Cream Golden Glow sample size ($27 for Full Size)

Can be worn alone or as a make up base, this beauty balm has self adjusting pigments, antioxidants, aloe and chamomile. It evens out skin tone, hydrates, & reduces the appearance of imperfections.

MSC Skin Care & Home Lavender and Bergamont Body Nectar sample size ($30 for Full Size)

100% natural multitasker infused with lavender and bergamont essential oils to tone skin and calm hair.

The actual cost of each sample is $2.00 and for that price this little Birchbox is worth what you pay. To compare it to other small beauty boxes, though, I feel that you receive a lot less for your money than with some of the others as there is not one full size product. However, there is a great mix of products for different uses here.
