I hear girls in the office, as well as people in other places talk about Birch Boxes or Glossy Boxes. It made me wonder what all the fuss is about. I decided to research both of the 2 most popular boxes to see what they offer and what the differences, so I could inform our readers!

Birch Boxes
www.birchbox.com

Birch Boxes are boxes that are delivered to your door every month that have samples of different kinds of make up or beauty supplies. In order for this to be accurate, once you sign up with Birch Box, you fill out a survey that tells them your skin complexion, hair color, eye color, etc. The cost for a Birch Box every month is $10.00. You receive at least 5 samples of products and delivery time can take anywhere from 5-10 days. With this membership, you will not only receive the free products but you'll receive access to their store, as well as a magazine on their site.
The really good thing about this site (as well as Glossy Box) is that if you see something you like, you can purchase it. In the stores, you have access to full size bottles of the samples you have received that they allow you to purchase.
One of their other features on this site is that you can also earn points towards purchases. For every review you get 100 points. For every 100 points, you receive $1 credit. If you review all 5 items, you will receive $5.00 credit towards a purchase. You can save your credits to use on anything in the store!

Glossy Boxes

Glossy Boxes are boxes that are delivered to your door every month that have full size bottles of random products. Just like with Birch Boxes, you fill out a survey for all your information that they will plug into their computer to send you the right type of products. The cost for a Glossy Box is a bit different of course from the Birch Boxes and come in at $21.00 per month with free shipping as well. The more months you sign up for at a time, the more of a discount you will receive on the membership.
Each Glossy Box will contain anywhere from $70-$130 in products! They also have an online store that allows you to purchase more of any products that you receive that you like.
Just like with Birch Boxes, you can receive credit for submitting reviews on the items received in the boxes and that credit can be used to purchase items as well.

There are many different types of boxes, for many different types of products. It has really become the newest thing to hit the market. Whether you get or have a subscription to either of these boxes, or any other type of delivery to the door boxes, please remember to read all the guidelines, not only so there is nothing unexpected, but also so that you can take full advantage of the subscription!
