Can you tell me about Birchbox? People who get it?
Is it worth it?
What kind of things do you get?
I'm thinking of getting it because you get pretty good brands. But, my mother told me not to get it because they probably only have "white girl makeup." Kind of blunt, but that is an issue because I don't want a bunch of fair foundation that I can't use. But I doubt they have that sort of thing...
Does anyone get it? What can you tell me about it? Do you recommend it?

Hi! Okay, well first off, I have darker skin too, and I'm a subscriber to Birchbox! When you sign up, they ask you to fill out a "beauty profile", where you give them information such as your skin color, your skin type, your hair texture, etc. They do this so they can give you more personalized products that will work better for you, you won't get a bunch of light foundations!
Keep in mind though, they don't just send you makeup, they send you all sorts of beauty products. For example, I'll list the products I've received over the past two months.
October:
-blinc Mascara
-AHAVA mineral foot cream (it sounds weird, I know, but it's AMAZING!)
-philosophy facial cleanser
-Redken shine flash (a spray for your hair)
-A laundry thing, haha!
November:
-Jouer lip enhancer
-kate spade "twirl" perfume sample
-Zoya nail polish (in Noel, beautiful sparkly denim color)
-Thymes Body lotion (I got two samples; eucalyptus & kimono rose)
- Alex and Isabelle; a cute hair tie
I personally love it, it's really exciting to get that little present in the mail every month! Also, if you sign up soon, you should get the december box, which will be nice, because there should be some really nice products for the holidays!
I hope you figure out what you want to do, check out some birch box videos on Youtube for other people's opinions. Best of Luck!
