I have been consistently disappointed with Birchbox, especially because I believed all of the hype about it being the gold standard of subscription beauty boxes. I have tried several subscriptions, and Birchbox is the worst by far. Inferior, useless products which are often repeated. Worst of all, if you neglect to cancel your auto renewal after the first month, there is no way to cancel it. The only thing they'll do is cancel your auto-renewal, but you're stuck paying for the remaining boxes, which in my case, is NINE MONTHS. There is no reason why they can't end the subscription and refund the remaining monthly payments. In addition, they give "points" to subscribers to be used on Birchbox products. However, if you don't use them, you LOSE them. Such a con job. This whole subscription is not worth the money. Save it and go buy the products you really want.
