We’ve looked at Birchbox as a Subscription Service here, but let’s take an in-depth look at the May 2024 boxes I received. Yes, I somehow received more than one.
May 2024 – First Box

This is what we’re all in interested in. What are we getting for the money and is it worth it?
Box Contents:
Floss The Mood Blush – Pretty color, should be pretty universally flattering
Hero Mighty Patch for Post Blemish Dark Spots – I tried them out and I was surprised that they actually worked!
DERMA E Advanced Peptides and Vegan Flora-Collagen Serum– No longer available it seems, so it’s been replaced with the linked product.
Oneiro Multi-spray– Smells nice and I’ll use it is a room spray to freshen it up a bit.
Dr Botanicals Grapefruit & Watermelon Cleanser – Refreshing gel cleanser, great size for travel
Estee Lauder Revitalizing Supreme + Global Anti-Aging Cell Power Creme – Tiny sample! It feels nice, but at $88 retail, that is not in my budget!
May 2024 – Second Box
About a week after getting my first box, I had a second one show up which was pretty weird. I bought a 3-box subscription, so that means I have received all three now.
Box Contents:
Vitamasques Detox Leafy Greens – I love sheet masks so I have a variety of them and I’d consider buying these in the future.
- Evio Skin Hydrogel Eye Therapy – While they are nice, you can get similar ones for less on Amazon.
- Wander Beauty Double Date Lip & Cheek Tint – Cream blush is my favorite and I love a multi-use product! This is the blush I take with me when I travel.
Air Repair Complexion Boosting Moisturizer – Nice product and a reasonable price for a full sized version.
Aromatherapy Associates Revive Morning Bath & Shower Oil – Smells great! The full set is expensive, but a better value than the duo linked above. I mix some of the oil with bath salts and then put it in the tub.
Final Thoughts
I’m not sure why I got two boxes this month and I assume that means I won’t be getting my final box in June after all.
As for the contents, I stand by what I said in my original review. The boxes are good and a decent value, but when compared to Ipsy and Allure, I’m not sure they are keeping up with the competition.
