When I received my sample choice email for Birchbox January 2016, I knew exactly what to do. Picking a pre-curated box was a no-brainer this month, after all the theme was Korean beauty, and I’m all about that right now! Curated by Soko Glam’s Charlotte Cho, the box included a nice variety of samples plus a full-sized sheet mask – a perfect introduction to the dangerously addictive world of Asian cosmetics for anyone unfamiliar with the trend.

HOW IT WORKS: At $10/month Birchbox subscribers receive 4-6 luxury samples and full-sized beauty products, tailored for them by a team of curators according to a personalized beauty profile. The value of each box usually ranges from at least $15 and can be as high as $70.
