Birchbox offers a $10/month beauty subscription service, but every once in a while they also offer limited edition boxes such as this one. The Birchbox Limited Edition: New Naturals Box is their latest special edition box and is a totally separate purchase from the monthly subscription.

From Birchbox:
Whether we’re stocking our vanity or our pantry, we always want to be ingredient-conscious. But we know it’s not easy to find natural beauty products that deliver results and feel luxurious. That was the inspiration behind this stylish collection of ingredient-conscious wonders. Each of these innovative products is free of parabens, sulfates, petrochemicals, and phthalates—and instead, packed with good-enough-to-eat ingredients like coconut oil, pomegranate enzymes, and vitamin E. Radiant results and thoughtful formulas? It’s a true win-win.

My Birchbox Limited Edition: New Naturals Box box shipped via UPS and took just two days to arrive.

Eeek!  This box looked just as amazing in person as it did on the Birchbox site!

The Birchbox Limited Edition: New Naturals Box contained the following items:

~Au Naturale Cosmetics Organic Creme Highlighter Stick in Rose Gold (9mL / Full-Size) ($32): I wasn’t sure how I would feel about the Rose Gold shade, but it’s gorgeous and very wearable. It blends in smoothly and made my skin glow! Organic, vegan, cruelty-free and gluten-free.

~W3LL People Expressionist Mascara (0.23 oz / Full-Size) ($23.50): I have to admit, W3LL People isn’t my favorite mascara. I don’t find that it clumps or is too dry, but it also doesn’t give me the length and volume that some mascaras do.  The fact that there are not any chemicals close to my eyes when I use this is a huge win though. Cruelty-free, gluten-free, petroleum-free, aluminum-free and fiber-free.

~rms beauty Lip Shine in Honest (0.20oz / Full-Size) ($25): I found this to give me more of a shiny wash of color than a bold lip and that’s okay with me.  It contains moringa and coconut oils which make it super creamy and moisturizing. Organic, cruelty-free and gluten-free.

~Dogeard Lil Zip Pouch ($24): Don’t laugh, but I have a huge obsession with pouches like these.  I use them for makeup and other toiletries, office supplies and basically anything else you could think of. This one is made in the USA, has a zip-top and is super roomy!  It has a flat bottom, so if you pack it full enough it will stand on it’s own.  100% cotton.

~EXO Supply Co. Pure Remover in Lavender (4oz) ($15.95): This nail polish remover is acetone-free and conditions nails with plant-based ingredients and essential oils. It works (I tested it on my toes) and if it were less expensive I would buy it every time.  It smells about 100 times better than regular nail polish and the ingredient list isn’t scary. Cruelty-free, acetone-free, alcohol-free and non-toxic.

~Tata Harper Resurfacing Mask (7.5mL) ($14.50): This is the only item in the box that is not full-sized. It has a jelly-like consistency and feels almost like a thick serum?  You leave it on for 20-30 minutes (you can feel it dry on your face in just a few minutes) and then rinse with warm water.  It instantly made my skin look smoother and brighter.  I may need to save up some Birchbox points to get a full-size of this. ECOCERT, cruelty-free, gluten-free, synthetic-free and 100% non-toxic.

~One Love Organics Gardenia + Tea Antioxidant Body Serum (4oz / Full-Size) ($39): We actually received this a while back in a POPSUGAR box and in the Fall Rachel Zoe Box of Style.  Subscription boxes can keep sending it though because I love it.  It has a light scent and rubs into your skin quickly.  It’s supposed to leave skin firmer and more supple as well, but I am not sure I have ever used it consistently enough (i.e. daily) to see those benefits?  ECOCERT, cruelty-free and artifical fragrance-free.

~Juice Beauty Hydrating Mist (6.75 oz. / 200 ml – Full-Size) ($22): This hydrating mist is designed to “improve hydration and overall radiance”.  It can be used in the morning after cleansing or for a mid-day boost.  Birchbox even suggests popping it in the fridge for the ultimate cooling pick-me-up.  It almost felt a little tingly on my skin, but not in a bad way, it was more like I felt that it was working. Cruelty-free, synthetic-free, and artifical fragrance-free.

~Ilia Beauty Lip Gloss (Peek A Boo) (0.11oz / Full-Size) ($21): I am obsessed with this! Peek A Boo is a just that, a little peek a boo of color. It’s super shiny and contains shea butter, coconut oil and vitamin E to keep your lips soft and hydrated. Organic and cruelty-free.

~Mystery Sample Pack: My Mystery Sample pack (free with a $35+ purchase as long as you add it to your cart) contained a Coastal Scents Reveal3d Palette Sampler (Desert Bloom) and a Laura Mercier Violet Eye Pencil. Not the best sample pack I have received, but it was solid.

All totaled I came up with a total of $216.95 for the Birchbox Limited Edition: New Naturals Box!  That is an incredible value for a $60 box (less if you have a coupon or points) and I am absolutely blown away by this one.  With the exception of the Tata Harper Mask, everything is full-size and all of the products included are part of Birchbox’s Ingredient Conscious category (which means that they are all certified free of parabens, sulfates, petrochemicals and phthalates).  If you only plan to get one limited edition box this season, make it this one!
