Birchbox March 2015 (Spoilers)

[IMDawnP]

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!  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Darn, Should have known it was too good to be true. I just checked and my 8 are now also 5. I was thinking that (while a plus for me) it would be a very bad idea for Birchbox to send out some curated boxes with extra items. I wonder what exactly is going on behind the scenes (programming wise) that would cause these switch outs during the last few days until boxes go live.

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.

I got the blowout product too and I too state I air dry. Isn't blowout spray for, well, when you blow dry your hair??

I really liked my box before 2 things changed in it. My hair mask turned into shampoo and my lippie turned into lotion

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.

I got this box today on my new subscription.  At first I was not happy about the cc cream because they usually send me something too dark.  However it is a light one and does work.  This will go in my little flight bag.  I like it okay but not as much as my L'Occitane bb cream.  I absolutely detest the Whish shave product.  I can't see any way in our profile that we can say we don't use such products.  (Am I wrong?)  Was just thinking that since I started with the boxes I've started using more 'product' in my hair so maybe should try a clarifying shampoo.  Will try this one; wish the mask was not a packet.

My Ace box is much more to my liking as it has the Roloxin in it.  I am beyond excited to try this and wish I had more--much more.  

My boxes hadn't really 'moved' in the shipping notices so I was surprised they arrived today.  Hope all of yours are speeding along to you!

I saw the video for the men's PYS yesterday and didn't like any of them.  Was happy our men's subscription ended.  Will wait to sign up again until something looks good or there is some good offer.  BTW, if I re-sub for the mens (same account) will we get the monthly box or the classic box again?  Got that classic box as the first one in the sub and hated all of it.  

Didn't realize that the women's boxes will be similarly themed.  Would love to try a liquid eye liner!  Thanks for posting.

I am super excited. Even though I could never get really into the show I would love to dress up like the time period.

I got my curated box today and I'm really happy with it! The Laura geller blush is so pretty! The supergoop is so tiny though but hopefully a little goes a long way

I have a feeling that curated box will go quickly. IVe never watched the show so it would just depend on the products for me.Speaking of boxes has anyone had theirs get lost before? Bb deemed mine lost and are sending a new one. Will I get different products? What if th first one eventually shows up? Will I need to return it? I'm not attached to my box at all so I'd be ok if it's different however I was really looking forward to the Cynthia rowly lip stain.

Is everyone's davines items disappearing? Just checked and my trio is still there. It'll be interesting to see what I actually get

Yes, ours disappeared in the curated box :/

I received my box today and there was no Davines. Still, it really is a good box /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Yours is a different box, thou. So, probably you will receive your Davines /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Enjoy your goodies

Same here /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I loved the blush so much I immediately ordered the Laura Geller Beauty Baked Love Collection at the shop (https://www.birchbox.com/shop/laura-geller-beauty-baked-with-love-collection). I can't wait to receive it. 

I like Supergoop products but do not like their stinginess when it comes to sample sizes. That tiny sample is not much better than a foil sample. Dermae is very generous with the samples, Supergoop should learn from them /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Enjoy your goodies.

Mine has the Davines this morning so I made sure to review them. When I checked a little bit ago they were gone. It's probably just a glitch. I don't even care since it gave me an extra 30 points.

It's good that you were able to review them to get points. When I view my box through the direct link I can see them, but when I click on Davines products to review it takes me to the regular review page where no points are given :/

I lost track of this thread so I'm not sure if this is old news, but did anyone get a weird popup when they looked at their box that asked if you wanted to upgrade your box to $30 a month, and you would get 2 full sized cosmetics (I believe it said lip or nail) added to your box each month?

I closed out of it because I was on my mother's account, and when I logged into mine the popup didn't show up. Wondering if anyone knows what that's all about!

I just got that pop up, too. I guess they are trying to establish a premium box (5 samples + 2 full size makeup or nail products). I attached the screenshot for you.

If you open a new browser and log into your account there, probably you will get it again.

It sounds like it could be interesting, although it would greatly depend on the products. I wouldn't be thrilled about spending $20 on two nail polishes haha

 

[BriBaybee]

It popped up on my aces account but not on my non aces account. I'll pass since the only makeup birchbox likes to send me is red lip products and black eyeliner. Id rather take the $20 and spend it on something I'll actually use.

Same here. I think I will wait to see what people get in the first few months before I consider upgrading /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

For the same amount I could just roll the dice on two extra subs.
