Luxe Box

Has anyone heard of Birchbox?  Well, Luxe Box is the Canadian version.  For those who think I am speaking another language, I will explain.  It is a monthly subscription to receive deluxe samples of beauty and haircare products delivered to your doorstep.  You pay a fee, usually in 3, 6, or 12 month increments.  I chose the 12 month supply as there was an ongoing promo and I ended up getting 2 months free.  For $10 a month which includes the shipping, I get a surprise package tailored just for me!  Who doesn't love surprise packages?  My first box is en route and it feels like Christmas is coming early.  Why would anyone pay to receive samples?  Well, first of all, these are deluxe samples.  Not the ones you get when you walk through the cosmetic counter at a department store.  Some of them are full size, they are all high end products. 

Now this is a bit from the norm for me.  I hardly wear make-up, certainly nothing high end, I've been known to buy dollar store shampoo and conditioner, so why does this even interest me?  I'm not convinced that an expensive product means that its a good product.  I like to think I am gaining another perspective.  I've seen what cheap products can do, I've seen what home-made products achieve and I'm not disappointed with them, but I am ready to try the other extreme.  I'll let you know how its goes.  And I'll be sure to share with you every month the contents of my Luxe Box.
