The foil packets are at best a one time use. I forgot about the Kielhs lotion and I guess that is bc I am just not impressed with Kiehls at all so it slipped my mind. The thing that irritates me just as much as the inequitable boxes is the fact that I could not make a determination on whether this skincare line will work for me. I need to use a product more than once to know.
I read the response to you. The bottom line is it was a cheap, shitty box and I cannot imagine anyone who received it being happy with it. I think you actually received one of the more intelligent responses bb sends out as opposed to their normal pat BS that doesn't address your unhappiness.
I got this box too, and while compared to other boxes it is rather shitty, I think all together it's really not *that* bad. The perfume is actually pretty wonderful (my mom loves it and wants to buy a full size). The Khiels cream is a great size and perfect for travel. The Stila highlighter would have probably been the most wanted product out there this month *IF* the mascara and lipgloss were floating around - the price BB pays for putting out lots of full sized samples is that one of them is going to wind up the least desired. The eye mask is worth $8 alone and worth trying (i think I have undereye circles as a concern in my profile, so I cant fault them for this - even if it is one use). And the foil packets are lifestyle extras - yes, I would have loved a chocolate bar (or even a soyjoy) but it is what it is. If I wasn't on here looking at what other people got, i would have been perfectly happy with my moisturizer, perfume, highlighter, and eye mask - it's only in comparison to others that it seems less than stellar. If this is going to be as bad as it ever gets on Birchbox, I really can't complain.
They are addicting! I received the sampler today and I am trying SO hard to control my urge to open them all up and eat them. So far i tried a little piece of the bacon one and had most of the fire cracker one. I have a feeling they will all be gone by friday, im getting my wisdom teeth out friday morning and I don't think I can wait until next week to try them all.
It is a perfect gift! The firecracker and maple bacon are my two favorites, so I'm saving those for last
/emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I really need to find these in stores so I can stock up ! 
I got the same box. I actually have two subs and got the full size mascara in the other. I like the Stila illuminator, but the foil packets are pathetic. That one is a cleanser and my face definitely takes more than a "pea size" amount of cleanser to wash with. The fact that there were boxes with BOTH a mascara and luminizer is just totally not fair at all. I try not to complain too much since I only pay $10, but so did the person who got the 3 most wanted items in their box. (mascara, luminizer, OB spray) They should really cut down on the box variations or at least customize it better. I'm sooooooo tired of getting anti-aging CRAP when I have 23 yr old oily, acne prone skin and when I never once mentioned on my profile that I wanted that sort of stuff. It's just frustrating. *rant over*
Thanks for providing all this info. I think I'll send them an email to try to light a fire also. I've gotten used to waiting for my second box, but this is getting ridiculous and what with getting a tampered with, lousy Cravebox today, I'm not in the best of moods.
Agreed. I will reply via e-mail to Alexandra using some of the feedback that I see on here and how she was pants on fire because I didn't change my profile until after I saw the crappy box that I was getting.
Fa la la la la la la la *bites your face*
Oh man, box 3 must be the punishment box number, lol. Not to make light of your punishment box, but I can assure you that last month's box 3 was even worse. I personally would've been happy to receive this box rather than last month's #3. I'd definitely contact them and complain though, because they do seem like they are trying?
I got box 2 (OLO serum instead of the Kiehl's but otherwise the same) and I'm happy and disagree that it was a cheap, shitty box. I gave away the perfume and the two little foil packets, I'll try the eye masks, and I'm thrilled with the other two products. Some of us don't really mind the so-called "punishment boxes."
Yeah Zadi, one side of the box was torn and had obviously been opened, and the Pillsbury rolls were missing. $14 and the best things in the box were Chocolate Pomegranate bits and 2 cans of DelMonte green beans. Seriously.
Well at least the people who are not happy with their Birchboxes this month can be glad that they didn't receive green beans!Originally Posted by cheetahchirps /img/forum/go_quote.gif

Well I smell like Shea Terra Gingered Pumpkin butter, but unfortunately I doubt that stuff tastes as good as it smells.
Great idea! Every now and then, I'll come by something like it but I keep putting off buying it. Maybe Sneakpeeq still has the shop with the little spray bottles...
Thankfully we don't taste like the scents we wear (I don't think). Otherwise, anyone sporting a Philosophy anything would be in danger.
