I spend more than I would if it weren't for Sephora, but it is more fun for me than the subs. I like the subs just because I'm busy and don't always have time to play with Sephora. It's nice to have stuff arrive in my mailbox instead of having to go to the makeup counters.

Fun fact about me....I made my first Sephora purchase the other day 

 The Tarte blush 4 pack haha. I'm not really, ok not at all, a makeup store/counter kind of person. I impulse shop for makeup at Walgreens and my local grocery, and always manage to get the wrong shade/color...so I particularly like it when things come to me and I don't have to do much choosing lol

I got that same set! Im obsessed with tarte blushes, so this was perfect for me. And then there was the sephora fan friday code for a $10 giftcard. Its ra pretty good set, pigmentation wise.

Anyone want a goop box?  I have a link to sign up if you do.  I'm not going to use it.  Let me know!

 

[gypsiemagic]

So I was wondering what color Essie Polishes will be sent, looks like 

Carry-On

Power Clutch

Lady Like

Master Plan

Neowhimsical

Size Matters

might as well be missglamorazzi picks, she raves about most of those colors all the time.

I got boxes 3 and 5 (both Goop) and I am happy with them for the most part!

Yeah, later I actually read the label on the DDF and I cannot use it. The alpha hydroxy acid increases sun sensitivity.

I love the DDF Brightening Cleanser. If anyone doesn't want theirs, please look me up on the trade threads or PM me or my trade list link is in my signature.

I am completely floored! I got my shipping notice on Tuesday, and received my box in the mail on Wednesday!! It normally takes forever (at least 10 days) - I can't believe the shipping this round.  It said it was a Goop box as per the wrapping and note, even though I never signed up for one or received any information about one.  It wasn't wrapped especially nicely, and everything inside was just thrown in, but I got something I really wanted, and I really like the rest of the samples!  Probably my best Birchbox ever.

I got a Beauty Blender!!! (which I have been wanting to buy for some time), DDF Wrinkle Resist Plus Pore Minimizer, Marie Veronique Anti-Aging Oil +, a small Chantecaille lip gloss, and another Luna bar.

Got my shipping email and I'm getting a goop box. Hopefully no shipping issues this month. I'm excited. I'm on a super strict no buy so Birchbox is going to be my savoir for the next few months. Don't let me down bb. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I don't think the size is terrible IF you're getting it for FREE at Sephora maybe, but to get that tiny amount as a sample in something you PAY for?!  No!! No way!  I think it's unacceptable!  And what maybe bugs me the MOST about this is how BB will sit there and say how they put so much thought into all the products that go in our boxes and they're so freakin excited about it.  Seriously!?

I must be in the minority here on MUT.  I love birchbox!  I have discovered a lot of great products I wouldnt have even known existed, and never would have never tried if it weren't for Birchbox.  I also think for 10.00 a month that includes shipping and the points system, its a great bargain. 

I noticed that there is now an Orofluido hair mask/deep conditioner in the BB shop.  Says it has the same great scent as the elixer.  I might have to give that one a try.  I'm in love with the Orofluido Elixer!

I have the hair mask and I love it...it does have a lovely vanilla scent just like the oil and it works great for me /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Thanks! It's so sad that the birchbox Page turned into a complaint board

I opted in for the Goop box. I'm pretty indifferent about it. Hopefully my feelings will change when I actually receive it.

Hopefully the spoiler works, if not I apologize! Everyone should know what's in each box by now anyway /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Box #1

I actually picked up a DDF Blemish Foaming Cleanser at TJ Maxx for like $13 and I love it! Might be a better option if you are interested in DDF. I got the brightening cleanser in August and was terrified to use it because of the AHA, but it caved and luckily I didn't have any issues, I really liked it, but it wasn't what I needed for my skin needs.

I am still a lover of BB, but I did get my worst box this month. Luckily, I typically get hits. I'll dig in and use up what I get and reassess.

I think the same could be said for our monthly BB threads.
