Hello everyone!

New member here, been a lurker for a while now I just received my box if anyone is interested in seeing what it looks like:

Sorry it's a little blurry... cell phone picture!



Excited to try everything out! I was happy that they packed three different flavors of the tea -- Earl Grey, Green Tea Tropical, and African Nectar.

The only issue was that the MOX was open when I received it (it's a twist-off top so I was surprised)... not sure if it's worth complaining about to BB or not, but there was a scratch/smudge in the balm :-(


I hope everyone still waiting for their boxes get them soon!

Thanks for posting! This is the box I'm getting & was curious to see the sizes of the samples! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I have to say that I really loved my box this month.  I got box 6.  I didn't really understand the fuss over the beauty blender, but after using it for 2 days I now get it.  Also loving the DDF® Wrinkle Resist Plus Pore Minimizer Moisturizing Serum.  Thanks Birchbox for getting me hooked on $85 serum!!!!

Don't know if I'm allowed to post my unboxing video.  If not, feel free to do with it as you will.

Aw man I have the Liqwd samples coming in my box too, I practically have the same things but bot the perfume and tea. I was hoping the Liqwd samples would not be in foil packets /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I'm excited about the mary lou manizer and the balm though! How does the balm smell like if you dont mind me asking?

Really disappointed. It's like they didn't even read my email.

I got basically the same response. :/

On another note, the complaining on Reddit is getting ridiculous. I need to stop reading.

Hey guys I just wanted to let you know I emailed Caldrea about a week ago. I really wanted to try their products because I am a sucker for a good smelling soap in my bathroom. The other rooms in my house can use Bath & Body but I want something indulgent for myself. Anyway I just told them I heard about them on Birchbox and really was interested in their scents. I did not ask for a sample but I did ask where I could go to try their products out. I received an email later that day asking for my address so a sample could be sent to me. I got an envelope with seven samples of their hand soap. I think that is every kind they have. I have gotten free samples from Jouer, Caldrea, Miss Jessie and theBalm. Be nice and ask for what you want. They don't always say yes but sometimes they do.

I just got my first code at 9 months. I guess some people have to be realllly loyal before getting discounts /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I got a good chuckle out of that. Rustled jimmies, indeed. I am now the proud recipient of downvotes for pointing out that most of the sample sizes aren't bad, and they're enough to get a good enough idea of whether or not you'd actually want to buy the product.

Is anyone supposed to get box 16? I'm beginning to feel like I'm the only one!

That's how I feel about box 20!

 

[gemstone]

I am also getting box 16!

 

[Shatae]

Just opened my box....I'm less than enthusiastic.
