So I got an email for a limited edition box from birchbox and decided to look into it. The box itself is bigger and heavier than the monthly boxes and yes, it does have more samples inside. The box is $48 and from what I see, was worth it. Im still on the fence about Birchbox in general though. I have to say their rewards program is almost worth keeping the box.
Anyways, on to the actual boxes. First up the special edition.

Birchbox Breakdown
This box might look a little familiar. When we launched our Here Comes The Bride Box, we had no idea it would be such a big hit. Many of you even told us you were buying it for yourselves—sparkly ring or no sparkly ring. That got us thinking: doesn’t every woman deserve her own survival kit, regardless of her Facebook relationship status? We created this fun-loving twist on our original bridal box. It’s filled with must-haves that will help you look stunning from sunrise to well after sunset.
How it Works
Let’s start with your skin. Dr. Hauschka’s Radiant You kit will get rid of any buzz-killing flaws, while Benefit’s Finding Mr. Bright set will give your complexion a supermodel-worthy glow. There’s Oribe’s travel-size Dry Texturizing Spray to prevent your voluminous ‘do from falling flat and Automatic Apparel’s roll-up ballet flats to give your feet a break from high heels. We’ve also included a Birchbox makeup pouch to keep all your essentials tidy, plus EBOOST’s vitamin-rich energy tablets to keep you perky. The final touch? A mini version of Jouer’s custom Birchbox gloss to give your lips color and shine. Please note: Boxes come with either gold or silver slippers.
How to Use
Keep the skincare set at home, and throw the rest of the contents into your new Birchbox makeup pouch so you can have them on hand for touch-ups and emergencies (heaven forbid your stilettos break halfway through the night).
