Birchbox February 2014 (SPOILERS)

[Meggpi]

I will start this off by saying I am 37 and for some reason, Juicy smells good on me. I know it smells like some teen age party girl in the bottle, but on me it works somehow, I have no idea. That said, I have NEVER received a Juicy sample from BB haha. But yes--they do seem to have a surprising amounts of variations and love for the company.

Chemistry! My mom is almost 60 and I pass along my Juicy samples along with any gourmands I get and she smells like an angel that farts rainbows. On me, a hooker working the cotton candy stand. I can wear older fragrances well though, florals and musk.

I'm happy to try any perfume, just please don't give me the sarahpotempa half up! I already received it on my main account and I really don't want a second one from my other sub.

I wonder if the Juicy Couture brand being licensed exclusively to Kohls starting this fall will affect their perfume lines? Maybe there is an end!

 

[LizGeary]

Quick question.. I gifted my BFF a bb for Xmas and she's good till February but she went ahead and signed up for an annual sub with the us weekly link on the same account. Will she still get the the sub? How does she see both boxes?? Technically she has two for feb.

I was wondering the same exact thing. I also wondered if the licensing thing would create a split between Juicy Couture perfume and Juicy Couture apparel, otherwise the perfume would take a serious price cut I feel like. I almost thought the perfume part might get bought kind of like how L'Oreal owns YSL Beauty and not Saint Laurent Paris the clothing label.

I do think now that they allowed people to say 'no more than 6 fragrances a year' the boxes with a fragrance sample tend to be pretty good. Because of that, I have one of my boxes set to love fragrance. I'm going to see how that goes.

Yeah, it's probably something like that. I think their perfume is pretty profitable.

I've often liked a perfume and saw many people (here on MUT or elsewhere) said it smells like an old grandma fragrance. And yes, florals and musks are my favorite. Glad I'm not alone. Oh, and sweet smelling perfumes don't even appeal to me in the bottle, which I guess counts out a lot of younger fragrances these days. I do like citrus though, if it is done right.

I'll wear sweet perfumes like Juicy, they are definitely appropriate for certain occasions for me and they don't clash with my body chemistry. But on the whole I really love musky perfume, which is why the Atelier scents are my *favorite*

Nice! I love trying new mascara but I have no experience with smashbox. Fingers crossed!

It's amazing! Their eyeshadow palettes are great,too! My aunt gets passes to the Estée Lauder Factory sale each year....smashbox, Mac, Bobbi Brown...I cry a little every time we go....tears of makeup loving joy

@kawaiimeows  as far as the OPI it's definitely on the press release (linked) along with Smashbox as specifically stated they will be included in the selections.I'm thinking it's not going to happen and they're gonna get some angry people though cause with the Ruby Wings (2 possibilities) and possible OPI that would be a lot of nail polish? :icon_scratch:

I got the ruby wing in my Jan box - the exact color on the Feb spoiler video. Interesting that I did not see OPI in the video. I hope I get it because that was one of the main reasons I got a second sub this month.

The brush is kind of the classic, natural bristle style, and it wears really well on my incomprehensibly oily skin without being too much of a pain to take off. I really like this mascara.

They won't stop until we've all gotten every possible Juicy fragrance sample. Considering there's Juicy Couture, Viva La Juicy, Viva La Juicy La Fleur, Viva La Juicy Noir, Couture La La, and now Juicy Couture Malibu and Couture La La Malibu, we will never see the end of this freaking brand. 


It seems like I have seen a million Juicy Couture perfume samples in the BB boxes! But I haven't received a single one?

 

[caseybean025]

I've never gotten a Juicy sample either! Which is actually one of the few perfumes that I like that BB sends out. Scents drastically change on me, so it smells less sweet, more tart/fruity on me. Great summer scent!

 

[quene8106]

Send all of the juicy perfumes to me birchbox! I have the noir one and original juicy on my vanity and I plan on buying the rollerball. Just no more hair accessories. I have less hair than Halle Berry but slightly more than sinead oconnor.

Maybe that's why it wears so awful on me, I have uber dry skin. I love the way it looks, it has an incredible effect. On me, however, it flakes so so so bad. I've had to throw contacts out because I'm out and a flake gets under it. I stopped wearing it for that reason, which is a shame because my lashes look like a mascara ad with it.

If it's all on the same account, the subscription she paid for should start after her gift sub ends, so she will only receive one February box and her annual subscription will start in March. Hope that helps!

Same here. The neon pink is a fun color and looks neato under a black light but I really wanted to see some color shifting and it simply didn't happen. At. All.
super odd!  when i got the poppy color quite a few months back it color changed for me like a champ - i loved that stuff!
