I just got an e-mail that is introducing a new “way to Birchbox“. You can stick with your current $10/month subscription or upgrade to a $16/month subscription and receive the following additional benefits:
~Monthly Category Choice
Select a product category you’d like to receive a sample from in your next box and/or a product category you’d like to exclude (i.e. “Send me a cleanser this month, skip the shampoo!”). The samples themselves will still be a surprise!
~Beauty Fix-It Boxes
Choose from a selection of curated boxes filled with samples that address specific beauty needs (i.e. acne-prone skin or frizzy hair). Try out something you’ve had your eye on—or give a new trend a go! You can opt to receive one of these boxes instead of your personalized box.
~Swap for Points
Opt to receive Birchbox Points in place of your Birchbox for that month. We’ll add your Points (matching the value of your monthly subscription payment) into your account on the 1st of the month.
~Exclusive Shop Discounts
As part of the premium subscription you will get a discount on the full size versions of the samples you receive so you can save on new and familiar favorites.
~Fast track to ACE status
Your monthly subscription counts towards your dollars spent towards ACE status, so you’ll get there quicker with a premium subscription.
I am going to upgrade to see what some of these extra goodies are like for a few months and then decide. Are you going to try the new way to Birchbox?

Mine was $14. I went for it. I figure I’ll try it out for a couple of months. I can always go back to the regular sun if I don’t feel like it’s worth it.
