I actually hope I DO get this box. I'd rather have small sizes of things I'd actually use than huge samples of things that are going to be ignored. I want fake up so bad!

Out of all the variations I've seen so far that *might* be mine (just estimating on boxes that look lighter in weight than others), I'd be happiest with these two I think - c'mon birchbox gods!

BAHAH. its like there's as much tea as there is juicy couture perfume. i actually haven't gotten any tea yet so i wouldn't mind trying some.

It's not birchbox if there's no tea, juicy couture, twist bands or color club involved!

Is it weird to comment on random user's photos in the birchbox tag? Someone just posted her pet turtle posing with her fakeup and it is the greatest thing ever so I had to show some love.

Just received that top box for my first subscription.  I'm pretty happy with it.  I don't mind the tea, and this particular kind sounds really good!  Now to wait for the 2nd sub to ship!!

What was your box weight? I might have missed it haha.

I just went through mine and all have been 5 or 6, but I know it's been mentioned before that some people have gotten 4 item boxes. Technically my last box was 4 items and a Birchbox Extra, but I could review all 5 items so that's fine with me!

Same here, I've gotten 4 items + an extra twice and that still counts as 5 to me. I guess a 4 item box would be totally fine if I loved all 4 items, I just feel spoiled now always having gotten 5!

Ohhh 6 items!? That's awesome... I'm now crossing my fingers for the possibility of 6 items this month /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Weight was .56!

That box looks like a good value, to me. Dry shampoo and mascara are two things that I would always get use out of, plus OPI. I kind of really hope to get an OPI, even though they are tiny.

I'm pretty sure this is the February box for my third sub (signed up with the US Weekly code, I know, I have a problem

) Not too bad for a first box. I hope my other 2 boxes are better though!!
I would be happy with this, too. I don't think I can get it, because I think I already got that Juicy sample, but I really want the Whish, and I would love to try the half-up. I sort of broke my wrap-up, but it sort of works, still.

Me too. Peelies don't even have enough product for one whole use, usually. They anger me. I was making peace with the eyeshadow card idea, because at least you can see the colors in person, and they send enough for both lids, but the peelie is just too skimpy.

Oh yay! I hope everyone gets them again, but I am a little worried I would get the orange. I got two oranges last time. I want the nude!

The first one looks better than the second one, to me. I don't mind tea, when it comes with OPI and an eyeliner!

I don't have perfume requested, this is only my second perfume in 10 months so that doesn't bother me. 

But I have nothing set to prefer skincare, and my complexion set as oily so I don't understand the illuminating skin transformer.

And the 32 effervescent breath treatment--it might be kind of neat but its presence just kind of helps to bum me out about this box!

Bad boxes happen, and not everyone can be happy, but I wish I were!


This is my very first box and I'm really disappointed after watching their teaser video before signing up,  I did not request perfume either.  (And Juicy is about as far at the other end of the spectrum for me as it's possible to get.)

I don't have skincare set as a preference either, so the Miracle Skin is a maybe for me, too.  I'm still gunshy after getting Apothederm Bright Skin Serum in last month's Ipsy box.  My forehead and nose - that was far as I got before I felt I was taking an acid bath - left me with what looked like a sunburn for 3 days and I peeled at the end!  I have somewhat sensitive skin, but that was way beyond a "mild reaction".

And I know any box is a gamble and it's only $10 - but I would never ever buy the hair thing.  (I'm 41 and would have loved it in college but not now.)

Two packets of breath rocks - really?  Although I do applaud them on turning Pop Rocks into breath freshener.

The only thing that really excited me was the Whish BB.  My MIL bought me a huge pack of their lavender line for Christmas and I love it!

I've seen so many cool BB's the last few months.  This . . . is so not what I was hoping for!

Son of a witch! My products are listed on my box page, so I just ruined my surprise

I thought they weren't supposed to list them until after the 10th. My box hasn't even shipped yet.

Off topic: Girl. Your hair color in your photo, is it as purple as I think it is? I have dark brown hair and want to go purple/black but I do not know how to do it.

On topic: I'm really excited for a lot of the products in this box, but there are a lot of products I'm really really not excited for.

[@]Moonittude[/@] I like my box and it's definitely good value to me. The refresh is a face wash though, not a dry shampoo.

I'm sorry that your first box was disappointing! 

I have eczema and sensitive skin so I am hesitant to try any new face or body products unless they are unscented, so the Whish is a no for me. I've gotten body butter in my last two boxes, which is exactly the type of thing I am trying to avoid!

If the Miracle Skin Transformer was a BB cream or tinted moisturizer, not an illuminating product, I would be all on to try it, but my skin is shiny enough.
