By now you may have heard the Birchbox is now available in Canada! The popular beauty subscription box offers samples of cult and popular beauty products so that you can try them out without the commitment of purchasing a full sized product. If you do fall in love with a product, you can shop the product conveniently from the Birchbox Canada website.
{Discover the Birchbox Canada January 2016 Box}
The January box is no longer available but it arrived on my doorstep last week so I thought I’d share it with you anyway! The very colourful box was a really nice surprise to open up on a cold and gloomy day! Inside the box, along with the beauty goodies, were these cute little stickers so you could customize your box to your mood.
I was feeling in need of some Joy when I opened this box, so this was the word I gravitated towards first! So perhaps for me 2016 IS the year of JOY!
Inside the box was a variety of sample sized and travel sized products. Surprising, I haven’t tried any of them before so I’m looking forward to discovering some new brands!
Including in my Birchbox Canada box was:
- derma e Hydrating Scrub – made for dry to normal skin (full size price, $20)
- Fave 4 Texture Takeover – great to use on both wet and dry hair (full size price, $20)
- Harvey Prince Eau So Divine Fragrance – notes of lemon, lily, jasmine and vanilla (full size price, $31 – $64)
- TONYMOLY Delight Tony Tint – sheer, matte lip stain (full size price $6)
- Ursa Major Fortifying Face Balm – all natural formula that hydrate and reduces shine (full size price $36)
Each Birchbox Canada box is $10 + $4.95 shipping / month. You can pay monthly or sign up for a whole year and get 2 months free. When you sign up you’ll get to fill out a beauty profile so that each box is customized to you and your beauty, hair and skincare needs. They also offer exclusive products on hard to find brands.
If you love beauty products but don’t want to invest in full sized products without trying them out, then this is the perfect solution. It would also make a great gift to give to someone! You can gift 3, 6 and 12 month subscriptions available. This is a gift that’s GUARANTEED to put a smile on someone’s face!
I’m curious to know, what’s your favourite subscription box? Have you check out Birchbox Canada yet?
Awesome Birchbox Canada box…I love Derma e and Harvey Prince items! 🙂

I’m kind of over susbscription boxes for beauty stuff – I’m so picky now! But I really want to try Wantable for their accessories box! I also want to get my cat Meowbox because she’s super spoiled 😉
Oh yes, I tried Wantable a while back – it was pretty good if I recall! Haha the Meowbox sounds awesome but I fear that would become an unhealthy addiction 😛
I was with Ipsy before and have always wanted to try Birchbox. Since they’re available now in Canada I might give it a go.
I hope 2016 is your year of joy, Elaine! I just received a one year subscription to the US Birchbox, and I’m not sure I get it completely yet. The box I got last month was an introduction box, I was told, and I liked most of the items. This month I had a choice between two boxes, neither of which really worked for me, but I chose one but I had to wait till a certain date to choose & watch a long video first, ugh. I thought the Birchbox was customized (supposedly) like the ipsy bag, but someone told me the box isn’t but your bonus gifts (I’m not sure when you get those) are. Hopefully, it’s simpler in Canada! And your box looks good. Love the look of the box itself!
You’re so sweet, thank you Allison! hmmm i hope your Birchbox gets better! It will be interesting to see the similarities and differences between the 2 countries!
