Birchbox subscriptions are now available for Canadians! You can now try and buy premium beauty products that were not available in Canada before. Birchbox provides consumers with a very unique experience that allows people to try the products before purchasing them full-size via Birchbox.ca. For $14.95 a month, including shipping and handling, or $159.40 per year, including shipping and taxes, you will receive a monthly personalized box containing a selection of five luxury beauty samples for women, including hair, makeup, nails, skincare, body care products and more.

I received the very first Canadian Birchbox and I loved trying out all of the samples that I was sent. I find box subscriptions are super fun because of the excitement of receiving surprise samples and not knowing what you are getting next. I am also happy to learn about new brands and products that I’ve never heard of before.

Here are some photos of what my Birchbox looked like and what I received:

My favourite sample so far has been the nourishing hair mask from amika. My hair is SO soft after and I love the nice scent, I am ordering a full-size tub when I finish my sample. A Birchbox subscription is a wonderful gift idea for the holidays and be sure to also add it to your own gift wish list, I have!!
