I just got mine in the mail! I was warned by friends that this box tends to contain a lot of little single use samples, but so far I'm SO happy with it! The first thing I noticed this month was it smelled good. Like...really good. Kind of like honey and lemon and lavender were having some kind of party in there. I was sniffing the box before it was even open. I received a little bottle of hair rules curly whip (the source of the smell...if it makes my hair smell as good as the box, I'm buying this one. I don't even care how it performs), a little tube of Bee Kind body lotion that is perfect for my scrub pockets, a tiny bottle of S.M.A.R.T. skin perfecting polisher ( I was just looking for something like this online to brighten up my dry winter skin), MANNA sheer glo shimmer lotion, a tiny chuao honeycomb chocolate bar, and this cute little stick on cell phone screen cleaner. I loved the whole thing. Every bit of it. I didn't receive even one single-use sample, although in the future I'd happily accept a couple because receiving boxes like this is just so worth a few lackluster samples. Last month was equally awesome. So happy!
ReplyDeleteYou are so lucky to get yours so quickly! Now I want to check my mail! I actually have not gotten much in the way of single use samples from Birchbox, plus their points systems is awesome! I AM LOVING my box preview this month! I am reallllllly excited. It sounds like Birchbox did awesome for both of us this month!
DeleteI'm getting the same box you are! I've never used any of the brands before, and with the exception of Mally, I haven't even heard of any of them. I'm really interested in the truffle anti-aging serum. I want to like it, but I'm always afraid of falling in love with something and then not being able to afford it when my sample is done.
ReplyDeleteThat is fun! What I have learned is that if I fall hard-core in love with a high end product enough to seriously consider buying it, it is probably going to be worth the money to me. The good news is that I do not fall hard-core in love all that often ;-)
DeleteYour box is great! I am kinda sad - mine sucked this month. Normally I love love love Birchbox but this month my samples were so small =(

It seemed like Birchbox was either a hit or a big fat miss this month, with very little in-between.
DeleteI'm getting Number 4 Non-Aerosol Hairspray, Shea Terra Organics Shea Nilotica East African Shea Butter, Benefit Benetint, bliss that’s incredi-‘peel’! + fabulous foaming face wash, Manna Kadar Cosmetics sheer glo shimmer lotion. Not really thrilled as it seems like products that are just going to sit on my bathroom shelf. Other people got much cooler boxes than me. :(
ReplyDeleteI like Benetint pretty well, I have to say I do not really understand the sheer glo shimmer lotion. I feel like maybe I need to read up on it, because I do not quite see when and why I would want to use it. If it makes you feel any better, Dianne, I definitely saw some lamer boxes this month ;-)
DeleteThis is the same box I am getting. I am looking forward to it. First, I go to the gym a lot (and shower there) so having all these small samples makes me feel great after a work out. The hairspray will replace the giant bottle I lug around. I love benetint, too! I would never need a big bottle. That sample will last months. The face shimmer will be perfect for March and April when we are begging for spring. And who can't use shea butter in the dead of winter? I hate getting food items, so this is a winning box in my book. (mine should arrive tomorrow).
DeleteHaving a little bottle definitely beats hauling a big one! That little benetint will definitely last you quite a while. I am still still trying to figure out how to best use that shimmer.
DeleteI really enjoyed the shea butter. It felt great on my skin and had a very light scent. The sheer glo shimmer lotion was very sheer as in once I put it on, I couldn't see it and it didn't have any shimmer that I could see. I tried the Benetint but the brush is really stiff and it made it very difficult to use. The tint lasted mere minutes. But on the plus side, it does look like a vial of blood. LOL I haven't tried the hairspray yet as I haven't gone anywhere this week. My guy and I are laid up with some respiratory infection so we've been crashed on the couch or bed looking like death warmed over. I haven't even felt up to washing my hair. Jim's out getting something at the grocery so I asked him to pick up some dry shampoo for me to use until I'm not hurting too much to move in the shower. He has absolutely no idea what he's looking for but he insisted on going out.
ReplyDeleteI don't know about Birch Box. It's just not doing it for me. I might have to shelve that subscription and come back to it later if I think they're going to improve. I'm enjoying my Blush Mystery Box, New Beauty TestTube, Wantables, GlossyBox, Ipsy, Beauty Box 5 subscriptions.
Yeah, I really do not like it when I apply a product and I am unable to detect any trace of it. It always makes me think I am either missing something or applying it incorrectly.
DeleteThat is weird about the benetint! It makes me wonder if there was a layer of something already on your lips so it did not have something to adhere to. Benetint does not last forever on me but it definitely hangs in there longer that it did for you.
I am sorry you have not been feeling well. I really appreciate my boxes on days like that, when I need a bit of cheer. It took me a while to warm up to Birchbox, but I really do like it for myself. The points program add a lot to it for me. That said, it definitely sounds like you have plenty to keep you happy. I have actually never tried New Beauty Test Tube or Beauty Box 5.
