Hmmm. Reasons for a giveaway.... 1) It's Monday, and therefore, we all need a little pick-me-up. 2) It's September, and the beastly hot, humid summer weather is going the way of the dodo. 3) We ♥ makeup. 4) Last, but certainly not least, we ♥ Birchbox.com, the best thing to happen to makeup since the invention of the sample.
What's Birchbox.com, you ask? Why, for just $10 a month, they mail you a prettily packaged box of deluxe beauty and skincare product samples from top brands like NARS, Korres, Kiehls, Cargo, and BeneFit. Yep, we said deluxe sized - stuff you can use for a good long while, not those single-use packets and ampules. It's a fantastic way to see if you really like a product, instead of trying to make a judgment from one application's worth of lip gloss. They also include great tips and tutorials to help you try out fun new looks!
Intrigued? Curious? Salivating at the mouth? Want a one month FREE subscription to Birchbox.com? Well, then, enter the giveaway, 'cause we're handing out 3 one-month subscriptions! We want your answer to the following question... Ready? It's a hard one!
If I could choose, I'd want an oversized sample of:You can enter up to 3 times: Once each by commenting on this post, on our Facebook page, or tweeting us.

A makeup artist cult favorite would be my ultimate! And thanks for the website I have never heard of it before and I am excited to try!

A pricey skin cream. No brainer. It doen't matter what you put on top if what's underneath is sagging. (Wink)
Anna
I have an unhealthy addiction to anything hair-related, so a new hair styling product definitely would be my pick - unless the makeup artist cult favorite is a hair product too - then I'm not sure what I would do!

Definitely a pricey skin cream - but I'm tempted by cult faves for sure! Lip colors are easy to find on the cheap, & I'm not big on hair products, but a deluxe size sample of a high quality skincare item is like gold in a bottle! (or a tube, or a jar, whatever!)

I'm re-inventing my hairdo with a bob cut and side-swept bangs (from the "Rachel" cut I've been rocking for a while now)and the flat iron is on the way - will be here tomorrow! I really want to get this new hair thing going, husband is getting tired of the pony tail, so a new hair product would be awesome!

Mel
I would absolutely want the makeup artist's cult favorite! I always look at the cult favorites on websites like sephora and debate whether or not to get them- so getting to test them would be great!
K2
A pricey skincream, because then I'd be able to judge once and for all whether it makes a difference!
Joanne
A new hair styling product

Rin
Pricey skin cream!! Then, even without make up, the skin would glow.
Margaret
A new hair styling product! Something that's hard to test at the counter, and I'm reluctant to buy full sizes of.
Iris
The makeup artist cult favorite. Usually they're so expensive I won't buy them, but a jumbo sample would probably last ages.
sarah
cult favorite for sure. i want to know why their hair is so big. is it full of secrets?
Rebecca
I would like a pricey skin cream. I am always tempted to try a more expensive brand, but I am not willing to spend the massive amounts of dough on something that may or may not do as much as the less expensive versions!!
Kimberly
Would have to say lip color or cult favorite. Skin creams you have to use quite a bit of to see any results, usually, and hair styling I find I also need to use for a while to see if it really works for my hair under a range of conditions.
Caitlin
cult favorites, for sure. who doesn't love variety?
Wendy
