What are all the Birchbox subscriptions offered?
"
Birchbox offers a monthly beauty subscription that’s personalized based on your beauty profile, as well as additional monthly boxes that are curated by their team of experts (including co-founder Katia Beauchamp). Head here to read the details of the two monthly curated boxes— Katia’s Picks and the Clean Beauty Box that you can choose from each month.
On top of it, they also often sell limited-edition beauty boxes for one-time purchase. Their limited-edition boxes are always themed, and in the past, they’ve been filled with high-quality hair products and beauty items like cleansers, mascara, conditioner, and more, all focused on a theme.
Finally, you can visit their online shop to buy your favorite Birchbox finds again.
"Can I customize my Birchbox subscription?
Regular Birchbox subscribers have access to Sample Choice, which allows you to either select one of the beauty products you’ll receive in your next box (to be featured alongside sample products chosen by Birchbox based on your profile), opt into a curated box instead of your regular personalized box, swap your box to receive a featured product instead, or swap your box to receive loyalty points instead.
How does the Birchbox loyalty program work?
Any Birchbox monthly subscriber can earn loyalty points by making purchases in the shop or buying gift subscriptions—you get 1 point for every $1 you spend. Every 10 points you earn = $1 that can be redeemed for any full-size product in the shop. If you’re a frequent shopper (or gifter), you can earn your way to Aces VIP status. Aces get extra perks such: 1.3 points for every $1 they spend, access to exclusive promotions, discounts on their monthly subscriptions, and early access to sample choice. If you want to earn loyalty points in other ways, you can always skip a box in your monthly subscription and swap it for points.
Does Birchbox send clean beauty samples?
While Birchbox does include cruelty-free and ingredient-conscious products in some boxes, they cannot guarantee a full spread of samples with these specifications with the personalized subscription. However, you can opt-in to a curated Clean Beauty box any month (details here), and they’ve also organized a Clean Beauty Shop that offers filters so you can refine your search to view certain ingredients or vegan or vegetarian products.
Is there a men’s version of Birchbox?
Yes! Birchbox Grooming (formerly Birchbox Man) is a monthly men’s subscription that sends sample-sized toiletries and lifestyle items such as socks, wallets, belts, and more. It costs $10 per month.
Can I send Birchbox as a gift?
Yes! Birchbox is one of the easiest subscriptions to give as a gift. You can purchase a gift subscription card for 3, 6, or 12 months. Once gifted, your recipient can redeem their card to get their subscription going, starting with completing their beauty profile.
Is canceling Birchbox easy?
If you’re signed up for the month-to-month plan for this subscription service, you can unsubscribe anytime by visiting the “Subscriptions” section of your Account Settings. If you’ve already been billed for the month, your cancellation will take effect the following month. If you’re signed up for a 3-month, 6-month, or 12-month plan you cannot cancel your subscription mid-cycle, but you can opt-out of auto-renewal at the end of your term by contacting [email protected]
