Birchbox February 2015 (Spoilers)

[graquarius]

I'm getting:

Laura Geller Mascara 

the Balm lipgloss - yes!

Harvey Prince Ageless - ughhh, all I want is a sample of Hello, but I've gotten Sincerely and now Ageless /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Sea Salt Spay

Makeup remover 

Funny thing is,  I got the box with all three sample choices lol! It's not a bad box, but I really wanted the Benefit mascara and Harvey Prince Hello perfume sample.

I got the same box!! Would have liked another, but oh well. It's still a decent box

There's Coola in the Valentines box also.  That doesn't make it any more exciting, but at least it's 5 products.

In that case, they could keep the 5th product and just double up on the tea /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I have universally disliked every coola product I've gotten. My skin is super sensitive to zinc oxide, and that's in most of the natural sunscreen products. Those tiny samples aren't even big enough to worry about trading or sending to someone. oh well

I think it's funny how we got the three sample choices in one box!

 

[Noel Snow]

I got a sad box with nothing  I really wanted: Coola, makeup remover, klorane dry shampoo, eyeco liner and obliphica hair serum. 

 

[roxymama]

I'm getting:

Bee Kind Shower Gel

Catherine Malandrino Style de Paris

theBalm Read My Lips Lipgloss

beautyblender

Davines MINU Shampoo

Davines MINU Hair Serum

You got the box #12 I wanted!  Mostly just because of the lipgloss and beauty blender.

I know, I've gotten curly hair products before and my profile states straight, which it is. I also have gotten every kind of shampoo and conditioner even though I have dry hair, including clarifying shampoo (worst ever for dry shampoo) and shampoo for normal hair (never enough moisture for dry hair).

I too subbed a second box and totally regretting it. Once I review and get points, I am cancelling it. Again.

They usually do pretty good with hair products for me so I'm assuming this is just because its the first box on this account and I think they say somewhere that the first box won't really match your profile. Although hair oils really don't do well with my oily hair and to me it doesn't make sense for me to get them but a lot of these say they can be used on all hair types so they send them anyway. And this is also true for the Coola.  I tried it the last time they sent it and it was so bad on my dry skin,  I think the companies that sell them say this is so great for every hair/skin type so BB just sends them anyway.

Ha!  All three in one box!

 

[jenacate]

can you gift a subscription to yourself? i just resubbed for this month since may and i have enough points for a gift subscription but i want to send it to me. is that possible or do i have to create another account? I'm not thrilled with my box this month, so a free subscription is the only way they are going to keep me to change my mind.

I am in complete and utter *SHOCK*. I actually got an awesome box - 1st time in 7 months!  I am even OK with the body wash as I always need those for my travel bag.  ....and I still have yet to know what the 5th item is - this is box 46 FWIW.

 

[H_D]

@@girlnamedpete it is possible you are only getting four items, especially since one item is a higher $ amount. Not all boxes have 5. They can be anywhere from 4 to 7. Congrats on loving your box!

If that is the case I am totally fine with it!  I checked again and now it's not showing up so I hope I didn't jinx myself! *LOL*

They are still adding to boxes and i can now see mine without needing the sneak peek trick. It isn't one I listed earlier for Marcelle but I cannot find the number now.

I'm getting: eye makeup remover (PYS), juice Beauty Blemish Cleaning Cleanser (excited), Eyeko Skinny Liquid Eyeliner (nope), BeeKind Body Lotion (yawn), and Juicy Couture Hollywood Royal perfume (never going to buy this brand, but they send me every Juicy no matter what I do to my profile.)

So, I have two great products for $4 after the $5 review and one tweet. Not bad really,

I hope the cleanser is a nice size. I need at least a week's worth to decide if I like a cleanser.

I'm getting the same thing.  I find it a bit underwhelming aside from the Eye Eyeliner which I'd been meaning to try.   But I'm not unhappy with it- they're all things I'll use.

I actually would've loved to try the Davines, the one shampoo line I would be happy to get.  

 

[H_D]

@@girlnamedpete by the way, LOVE your profile pic! Super cute doggie!!

 

[H_D]

I only hope mine will change but since knowing about the box cheat, mine has always been 100% accurate.

 

[Boadicea]

Happy but not excited about my box compared to others *box envy*

I'm getting:

Harvey Prince Hello (happy to get this now so I never get it again)

Gilchrist & Soames London Shower Gel (nice size, probably smells alright)

Benefit Posiebalm (excited! but it's tiny)

Marcelle Makeup Remover (my PYS)

Davines MINU Shampoo (happy, going to color my hair this weekend so perfect timing)

Davines MINU Serum (happy)

Do you think the Davines will be foils or small bottles?

Also I am glad I reserved a RTR box on my 2nd account because I really wanted to try the Balm lipgloss.

 

[Bizgirlva]

Swaps!

[disconik]

I'm getting all three PYS products plus the HP Ageless perfume and The Balm lip gloss.

I've got a full size bottle of hello and I liked the ageless body wash so I'm cool with the perfume. I swear, I never thought I would ever own as many lip glosses/sticks/balms as I do now! Do we know what colors they're sending out?  I'm praying for Boom (shimmering raisin) because I so sincerely do not need another pink or nude ANYTHING. I'd even go for the scarlet.

The cheat isn't working for me.  But on the Iphone app I show that this is my box.  NOT the #25 I was hoping for.  Sigh.

I picked the eye makeup remover, but the only other thing I will be interested in is the cleanser (hope it is a good size).  I can't manage liquid eyeliner (so I guess the remover will come in handy to correct my errors!)

I don't use body lotion.  Don't know why really, just don't.   And the perfeume will be put in my little bin of perfume samples to be used up someday.

Now I kind of wish I hadn't looked at all of the other boxes out there.
