I'm getting a mascara in my second Birchbox and I'm so annoyed.  I get it, some months are better than others, but I have a Birchbox packed FULL of mascara *and* I keep qualifying for mascara studies for L'Oreal!  Oops!

 On the plus side, all these mascaras mean I don't feel guilty about throwing out the ones that I hate.

 

[kawaiisofoxy]

absolutely!  I tested 5 mascaras and chucked out all 5!  I felt so fancy and wasteful, lol  :wizard:

Does sample society charge you as soon as you subscribe or is your first charge when the box ships?

Did any of you ladies out there also see this mention of October's first spoiler! I hadn't seen anyone else mention it so I thought I should go ahead and start a thread for the October's box. We will be getting Bobbi Brown's Smokey Eye Mascara! What do y'all think? =)

The fact that Bobbi Brown is in a sub box? Excites me!!

That fact that it's mascara? Eh...

The fact that it's her Smokey Eye mascara and not my fave of her's, Extreme Party mascara? Mega eh...

I love Bobbi but personally I've already found my holy grail mascara and it's YSL Babydoll. So basically, unless a sub box is going to send me that one (which is highly unlikely), I'm pretty turned off by mascara. I have enough mascara samples and even unopened full sizes (including even a full sized unopened Bobbi) to last me about a lifetime.

I feel like with Bobbi. Brown, she's known for her lipsticks, shadows, and concealers..... Not her mascara... I feel like sub boxes are to introduce people to brands, not just products. So, I really don't think mascara was the right Bobbi product to include.

I wish they would have put a Bobbi Brown fragrance in the box instead of mascara.  Bobbi Brown makes some of the best fragrances.  I die over Beach and Almost Bare is my go-to perfume.

I'm excited that Bobbi Brown is making it into our boxes but I will be passing this on to my mom. I have more than enough mascaras and plenty waiting to be opened.. and honestly I prefer drugstore mascaras because I feel like they work just as well if not better than higher end!! Clump crusher, loreal butterfly, and rocket are always in my mascara stash!

Man! I never qualify for any of those mascara studies.  :lol:

I'm still interested as of right now. Have probably a two year supply of mascara at least, but I've actually never tried Bobbi Brown.

It means I posted a Memebox comment in here on accident.   I'm getting old...

Oh, and yes, the coupon is for Sample Society.  I can't believe it!

 

[SaraP]

@@Saffyra That happens to me all time, I'll think I'm in one thread and really I'm in another =) It must be because everyone is so nice and always enabling!

I got my two mystery boxes today and they're excellent. I was slightly worried they would be 90% perfume or tiny moisturizers but they've got a reallt great mix of items: Butter polish, mini candles, along with several Alterna, Oscar Blandis and Murads.

 

[gingerneko]

I should get my sample boxes tomorrow - sooooo excited. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I'm tempted to try Sample Society now that there is a $5 off coupon, but I don't want to subscribe if it will be headache to cancel. How easy is it to cancel Sample Society?
