ugggh.   My box this month, if this holds true, is awful  - I wouldn't mind if they switched it on me.  The only thing I will use is my PSY.  I am allergic to the perfume, the hair mask  is too heavy for me, the lipgloss looks to be an awful shade and I am now putting highlighters in the same category as black eyeliner pencils - I don't want any more of that stuff!   Oh well, after having pretty decent boxes for several months, I guess some rain must fall :(

I somehow made an appropriate call to the Birchbox gods because lo and behold - my box has changed! I am no longer getting the Cargo blush but I AM getting the JPP luminizer and also a No. 5 repair mask.

Hooray for JPP! Hooray for 6 item boxes! Sending wishes that everyone else's boxes changed in the right way! 

 
I think we will have to wait until tomorrow afternoon to see our real box contents. Fingers crossed ;) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Hopefully we'd all be that lucky! I picked the curated box and still don't have shipping info.
It looks like we may be lucky after all ladies. Boxes are live and I still have 8 items! I don't like Davine's at all but points - oh yeh!

 
This is my first box :) I decided to drop my second ipsy bag and switch to birch box. So far I'm getting:

Davines Oil Potion

Davines Shampoo

Davines Conditioner

HP Imperial

Laura Mercier Primer

Jelly Pong Pong Highlighter

Temple Spa Face & Body Balm

Ugh. BOTH of my boxes got the stupid blowout spray, and that is the ONE thing both profiles have in common: they both state I almost always let it air dry because I do not use heat on my hair, and was the one thing from the reveal I DID NOT WANT.

So unhappy with BOTH boxes, despite having nearly polar opposite profiles, the contents of both boxes nearly identical. The only difference is one got the highlighter, and the other got a tinted moisturizer. (Okay the lippies are slightly different, but both are lip products I don't use. )
I am certainly cancelling the second sub, as this was an experiment to tweak my profile, and this month proved it to be a useless tool as to what goes in your boxes..both subs are practically brand new, so there is scant little in the way of repeats to restrict me, yet despite opposite choices, the boxes are nearly identical to each other and equally poorly curated for my profiles. Kind of amazing that they could miss so hard  on opposite profiles with the same products, TBH...including two makeup items (highlighter and lip gloss) on my 'no makeup' sub.

Yay, I love Davines! And my box FINALLY shipped today! BTW did anyone that picked the curated box also pick the bb plus necklace? I'm just wondering why my box just barely shipped today, my boxes are always shipped before the 10th.

 
@@artemiss I love the Bombshell Blowout (and I dry my hair daily), but I've also used it on already dry hair to help with shine and flyaways. To me, it's a versatile product that does add volume when I use it on my roots, but it's also a great light hold hairspray, which I love because I have fine hair that just gets sticky with most hairsprays.

 
On my main account I'm getting the curated box and on my secondary account I left it up to chance and I'm getting:

Supergoop cc cream

say yes to cucumbers wipes

Paula's choice skin exfoliant

beauty protector oil

Mirenesse lip rouge

 
My box hasn't updated yet :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> It is still showing February's Box. Hope the cheat is right! I love the box it showed! I do have shipping info though!

 
After reading that some people's boxes changed I thought THANK THE LORD!!! But of course my box didn't change! It's still the crappy one  it was yesterday, at least there are 6 items so I get more points, but it's probably the most disappointing box I've ever had.

 
Does anyone regularly get lip products? And if so what do you have in your profile for the lip section. When I do get lip products they tend to be boring colors. I really wanted that smashbox lip thing or the mirenesse one.
I  get a lot of lip products in both my accounts, but they tend to be barbie doll sized. I suspect they are just thrown in to off-set the cost of the larger pricier samples. 

Has anyone gotten a large sized or full sized lip product recently?

I don't see those when I look at my cheat!

I wish I had taken a screen shot when I checked this morning, the Davines is gone now. :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
Boohoo :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Goodbye Davines. 

All three items magically disappeared today. I wish we had them, I wanted to try that trio.

Well, maybe next time...|

Ziieno you can use my screenshot ;) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I thought I was super lucky since I've always wanted to try the trio and this is my last month with Birchbox.

PS. Thanks, proof of what would have been an amazing box!  :D /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
My box came today!  No PYS, totally up to chance and I got:

Amika Bombshell Blowout Spray

Number 4 Clarifying Shampoo + foil packet of their reconstructuring mask

Smashbox Be Legendary Lip Gloss

Supergoop Daily Correct CC Cream

Whish Shave Savour Hair Inhibiting Gel

The sizes are so tiny, the Supergoop at 3ml is even smaller than the Coola SPF I'd gotten.  All I can really say is, the green box and paper it came in was the most beautiful box yet.

 
Did you guys see this?  Apparently the April boxes will have a Mad Men tie-in curated option:

http://www.nydailynews.com/life-style/birchbox-release-special-mad-men-boxes-article-1.2144061

"According to the site, the one-off boxes are set to include key products for recreating the iconic look, such as liquid eye liner for cat eyes, bold lip pencils and hairspray to hold beehive barnets in place. Goodies for the guys will include hair cream and other accessories."
