I've been a member for about six months now and have been very happy! The quality of the products is amazing and the items are customized based on the profile I completed. Unlike the first reviewer, I get lots of great perfume samples! Also, while you can buy the full sized products on their website, you are also free to buy them elsewhere for a lower price if you can find a lower price. So far, their pricing is right on with everyone else. Of course I have received a few things I would not use.
That is not their fault and is just the way it is with a sample service like this. No one is going to love everything. Lucky for me, my daughter seems to love the items I don't. It's a win/win. Heck, I was so happy with my Birchbox subscription I got one for my husband. He looks forward to receiving his box each month and it has helped him to start taking better care of his hygiene, skin, self. He is a real mans man who is NOT metrosexual in the least and lives in jeans and t shirt. Thanks to Birchbox, he is expanding his horizons and now has softer skin and smells amazing! Thank you, Birchbox!
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
