Mine is in the color Tej, which is a sparkly light purple. It is full size, as far as I can tell.

Also in my box are:

-Nexxus Hydra-Light Leave-In Conditioning Foam- also full size, I believe. (5.5 ounces, if memory serves; I don't have it in front of me.

-Supergoop SPF 37 Anti-Aging Eye Cream- tiny sample

-Yes to Cucumbers Faccial Towelettes- 3 individually wrapped towelettes

*Beauty Extra - two small foil-on-card Yes to Grapefruit samples- Daily Facial Scrub and Dark Spot Correcting Serum.

Not too bad, two full size products, one of which is actual makeup. Unfortunately the shadow pencil is the one color Birchbox lists that I would never ever wear. I would have loved to get the pink, but that doesn't mean my box sucks. Wish those FB complainers could understand that.

*sorry for no pictures, I can't add them from my phone*

 you got a great box.

Thanks! Such a great find. . I'll definitely be trying more of these.

So ladies, this weekend I tried a new look with a light pink lip color and gloss (I have never gone near pink colors as I've been scared I was too pale).

OMG it looks really good on me- you can't see the lip color too much in this pic but it is very flattering!

So pretty!

I just got an email from Birchbox with a code for 30% off because I have gotten 30 boxes! Time to shop.

That's great.

Thanks, I am now on the hunt for the Mirenesse pink lol, it's so crazy how you can be terrified of a color just because you don't ''think'' it will look good on you. It was just me playing in my makeup mirror and voila! I NEED PINKS! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I haven't heard of that.  I have a salon appointment this Friday, so I will take a look and see what they have.  Thanks everyone for your kind comments and suggestions.

Its a hair serum but its not greasy at all and it smells so good. I love the way it leaves my hair you should try it.

That's great looks like they are sending lots of codes this month.

The Kiehls fine line serum was left out of my box but they were out of sample so they are crediting me the 100 points. I guess I'll take it. I would have liked to try the Kiehls.

Just got a pretty good deal!  Drink koozies for my husband who needed some for his summertime Coronas, a men's Pick Two of hangover pills (haha!) and hair texture paste that I'll use on my son's hair, then the Boscia Cleansing Cream (for me).  All for $6!!!  Woot!  

I grabbed the same sample pack for my husband, and that sample of hair stuff is AMAZING. Probably one of the best deluxe samples I've seen -- it feel light, but the product is a good inch deep in the container. My husband always uses some sort of paste or fiber in his hair, and this will be perfect for our trip to Europe in September! Much better than taking a big container of goop (last time his American Crew stuff leaked all over his underwear lol).

My Mirenesse is the bright red one and it looks awful.  I just can't do red.  But I'm testing it out anyway, to see how it wears and feels.  I just don't leave the house if I have it on.  I'm jealous of you ladies that got Cheeky Kiss.

My box also contained the LaFace wash and I'm not liking how it is packaged.  It is in a little plastic jar.  I think this product should have been in a tube, or even in a foil packet.  I'd rather squeeze it out into my hand than to have to dab it onto my finger.  Just a very awkward way to use a face wash.

I got my box today. I was one of the lucky ones who received the nailpolish but it's a much brighter color than I expected! Like highlighter pink inside. Its going on my trade list

AMEN about LaFace! It's so weird in its little jar!

I'm jealous of all the codes other people get... I got my last code when I reached 12 months. This month I received my 21st box and I didn't get a code /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

If you're at 21 boxes, the code should work for your account: it's "21andcounting", and it's good through April 29.

I'm at 21 boxes this month and that code didn't work for me.  I haven't gotten a code since 1 year either, but I'm happy to see that they are starting to send out coupon codes past 12 months for some people.
