I returned home from vacation last week and my day was made when I found my first Birchbox sitting front and center on my doorstep. {OK, I live in an apartment building so it wasn’t my doorstep. But you get the picture.}
I paid $10 and received the following products:
- Ahava Mineral Hand Cream
- Philosophy Purity Made Simple One-Step Facial Cleanser
- Redken Shine Flash
- Zoya Touch Collection Nail Polish in Shay
- Almond & Apricot KIND Bar
This July 2011 Birchbox was actually curated by Cynthia Rowley! THE Cynthia Rowley. Pretty cool!
I ate the KIND bar immediately – delish! – and the delicately pink Shay Zoya polish is on my nails. I have only used the hand cream once thus far, but was happy that it wasn’t too heavy. I’m very happy to have received my first Birchbox, and can’t wait to receive the August box – I’m definitely going to keep this subscription going!
And, speaking of… Birchbox graciously offered to let one reader receive a complimentary box – so let’s get to it, shall we?

Lucky #52, Elisabeth, is the winner of the free Birchbox!
Congrats, and thanks to all of you for entering!
