Birchbox - The March boxes

[murflegirl]

I don't care either way what box I get even though I opted in for the TV one. I have missed out on Orofluido like 29374398724 times (because yes, there's that many months in a year) and I have wanted to try it due to all of the raves on here! Either way, I'll be excited and surprised.

I think she is confusing yucca with yuca. Because yuca is pronounced you-kah.

Yuca is a delicious tuber vegetable, aka cassava root. But I really call it yuca, mandioca because that is what we call it in portuguese. I love me some fried mandioca!! It's a staple in Brasil.

Ugghhh....me too!!!  So want to try the Orofluido!!  Has anyone tried Moroccan oil?  I wish there was a way to get my hands on a sample of that!

If I get the hair oil I would be happy to trade. I hate putting stuff like that in my hair.

I used moroccan oil in an attempt to tame my frizz before I found devacurl, it made my hair very soft.

I really, really want to try the Orofluido. I am a hair serum junkie!

Hey ya'll I'm new to commenting but have been reading FOREVER it seems like! Anywho I adore my birchbox surprise each month and cannot wait for this month! I'm hoping for more beauty based products. It seems like lately its been geared towards skincare (which is equally important).

This month's favorites video that went up yesterday looked like mostly skincare.

I'm officially confused. Are we getting the Teen Vogue box if we opted-in, or not? Are we getting it if we selected it, as stated on the Birchbox Facebook page? Or, are we going into a before-unmentioned lottery, as stated in the second post below?

From the Birchbox Facebook:

If you opted-in for the Teen Vogue box you will get it as your March box. Please let us know if you have any questions! You can always contact us: [email protected]. Thanks! RJS

Oh no, now I'm kind of worried. Apparently even if you opted in for a TV box, you might not get one.

@CrazyAutumnWeekend and @teamchristina: We're so glad to hear you're interested in our collaboration with Teen Vogue! This is a special partnership that will be focusing on all things beauty for formal season. All of our subscribers received an email inviting them to opt-in for the Teen Vogue box in place of the normal Birchbox for March. Of those who opted-in we did a lottery to determine who would get the Teen Vogue box. Both boxes are amazing so you have no need to worry

Thanks - Birchbox

 I am assuming it is the lottery.  They probably received more opt-ins for the TV box than expected.  I opted for the TV box and I hope I don't make the lottery.  I hope I get the regular March box.

The favorites video is up!!

I like how all of the products have the sample sizes right next to them.  Gives you a good idea of what to expect in the box!

As much as people love their free makeup let's face it, it's MORE expensive for the company to send out cosmetics than it is skin care products. (The manufacturer not the subscription company.) I wish companies would send out more makeup minis instead of full size because it seems too many people expect a full size makeup item. These are companies to TRY products for a reasonable price (which includes shipping which is normally almost $6). I know I complain as well but realistically I think too many of us expect more than we should.

Personally, I am LOVING the skincare samples.  Every since Prescriptives went away I have yet to find a product that comes close the their Comfort Cream.  Estee Lauder said they had a comparable product but it was no where close and have been searching for a suitable replacement ever since.

I've been thinking this a LOT lately. Between people complaining on beauty army's facebook that "There are no cosmetics, I'm canceling", and people constantly saying "I JUST WANT MAKE UP", it seems like expectations are high. Companies don't give that stuff out like skin care samples, (even look at the free samples on Ulta's online orders, not usually make up), so we can't expect the subscriptions to secure it. 

If people JUST want make up, they should use the sub that is make up only....and 30 dollars a month because of it.

It's still available, they're just selling everything exclusively on their website now.  (free shipping)

I have only been with BB for two months, this month will be my third box.  My first box I got the Zoya polish and last month I got the tinted moisturizer and concealer.  I am good with even one make-up item or polish per box.

I got the exude lipstick last month so I am good for a few boxes /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
