Birchbox - The March boxes

My March Box photo (I think it's box 9???) 


Perfume, meh, I have at least 3 dozen samples right now, who cares /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I hope the dry shampoo is a good sized sample - I've tried just about EVERY dry shampoo and either they don't work, or they do work but evaporate out of the can so fast I only get a few uses!

I'm all for trying a new acne product - you'd think at 29 I'd be in the clear (get it? haha I'm so lame) but no, my chin almost always has something going on, plus I have scarring so hopefully this does what it says!

LOVE TEA! love love love!

NEON NAIL POLISH!!!!!!! Yippeee!!!

Stilla eyeshadows are amazing, I'm just sad this is such a tiny sample.

Even though I didn't get everything I wanted, for $10, Birchbox =

Finally got a box that I wanted #14 so excited.

Juice Beauty Clearing Serum - has anyone tried this? Does it work?

Tea - I LOVE LOVE LOVE tea!!!

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

Stilla - wish this wasn't such a teeny sample, but I do love their eyeshadows.

Even though I didn't get everything I wanted, for $10 Birchbox =

(My March Box contents photo - I think it's box 9???) The Juice blemish serum is awesome. Zits are gone or noticably better by a day and a half. This stuff is the only thing that cleared my little brother's zit he had on his chin for weeks!!

 

[RayOfSunshine]

If anyone's interested, I'd like to switch box 6 for box 2.

 

[TacomaGirl]

I'm getting box #7 which is a big fat yawn for me. I think I'm going to spend my points and unsub from BB.

 

[Tamala Nails]

I totally agree. I bought the full size /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

But you opted in for the TV box right?  None of those have the products for curly hair that's in the others.  But I agree with the comment that Keratase products are great!

Box #1 another CRAP BOX. What part of I HAVE CURLY HAIR do they not get...everything except possibly the polish is going up for trade. Hopefully I can get some oil blotters and curly hair stuff.

kate spade new york Twirl - 3.4 fl oz

 ​

 
Kérastase Elixir Ultime

 ​

 
Twistband Hair Ties

 ​

 
essie® Luxeffects Nail Polish

 ​

 
tarte LipSurgenceâ„¢ lip tint

 ​

 
Twistband 12-pack

 ​

Tried to copy and paste the list of my box items but it highlighted one..not sure why! Anyway, Does anyone else have the twist bands listed twice? Do you think this is a mistake or did they put 13 bands in my box? lol

 

[Auntboo]

The Kerastase is actually REALLY nice! You should give it a shot because even though I have oily/wavy hair it worked wonders on my ends!

 

 

I agree - the Kerastase is a nice serum for smoothing ends. I have virgin hair that never gets straightened or blown dry so you don't need to be a ironing addict to benefit from it. It is a nice balance of cones and oils and a little goes a long way.

 

[SmokeyEye22]

Thanks /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> It was 0.5180 lbs.  

Yay! That's EXACTLY how much mine weighs so I really hope I get the Lip Surgence!! You got an awesome color too!

 

[SmokeyEye22]

Ugh, my projected delivery date was March 10th but it didn't come so hopefully Monday!!

 

[Ampym]

You are right Tamala, I didn't get box one it is box 7. Thanks for pointing this out.

I'm getting Box #2 and Box #21 and I'm happy and excited about both. 

Initially I wanted the TV box #1 for the Fresh Sugar Lip Balm, but after watching a couple of Youtube videos I really wanted to try the Tart lip stain, so I'm thrilled with that. My b'day is coming up, so I'll get the Fresh Sugar as my b'd gift from Sephora anyway.  I'm glad I'll get to try both of the Annik Goutal perfume samples, as I'm getting one in each box.  I've been wanting to try an Ahava product, so I'm happy for that, and I have already rec'd samples of th e Orofluido and Jouer, and love them both.  I purchased the full size Orofluido after trying it in last months Birchbox, and I was going to try to refill the little sample bottle with my full size to put in my gym bag, but now I dont have to. So, I'm delighted with both of my boxes!

Last month, I was less than thrilled when I initially saw my Birchbox, but after i rec'd it and tried the products, I couldnt have been any happier with it.  I purchased all the products except for one.  For $10.00, this is an amazing deal.

Long time lurker (and I mean LONG TIME - Like 6 or so months) First time poster!! 

I was really bummed I picked the TVBB at first -idk why- but I'm so glad I didn't get cold feet and opt out.   I thought I was getting box 1 bc I still don't have mine and that seemed to be the last TV box to ship out and despite the fact that I've been eying that Fresh Sugar balm for a bit I was super bummed bc I wanted the Tarte.  (Really lame for me to be bummed bc I've yet to have a box I didn't find use out of.  Even if it is months after I got the stuff eventually it all gets used!)  Well, after hours of page stalking I'm actually getting box 2!  Woot woot! 

So on with my question - Has anyone received the Pure Pearlfection?  I ask because I own only one Essie nail polish and it just so happens to be the Pure Pearlfection!  I specifically pointed out Shine of the Times at christmas time but when my husband went back to get it he must have had temporary insanity.  hahahaha  I LOVE the Pearlfection but I just don't see a need for two of them so I'm plotting schemes to get, well, any other color.  Just wondering what the chances of getting it again are.

Well I'm getting box #6 which includes:

1. Boscia Green Tea Blotting Linens
2. Kusmi Tea Paris - I Love My Detox Tea
3. Color Club Neon Nail Polish
4. Grandma Stelle's Hand Wash
5. Traditions by Nick Chavez Yucca Shampooing Cream
6. stila Smoky Eye Shadow Palette

It's not a bad box HOWEVER I know the shadows are just a bit of shadow on a piece of paper so that's a dud, I had and used the Traditions by Nick Chavez I think from Testtube already. The rest I'm mildly interested in except the nail polish which I'll enjoy since I'm such a nail polish collector. It's not a bad box but it's not that fantastic either. Can't complain too much since it's really a decent box.

My middle and youngest daughters are getting box #4:

1. kate spade new york Twirl
2. Kérastase Elixir Ultime
3. Twistband Hair Ties
4. essie® Luxeffects Nail Polish
5. tarte LipSurgenceâ„¢ lip tint

I know my girls will love the Twirl perfume (as evident by the fact they used mine already). The Kerastase I'm not sure if they'll like that but they'll love the hair ties. I know both will love their Essie polishes but only the youngest (13) will love the lip tint as the middle doesn't like lip products so I'll see if there's something in my stash she'll want to trade it for (most likely she'll want one of my polishes).

My eldest was signed up via a Teen Vogue link (not the opt in) yet is getting Box #10 instead:

1. Harvey Prince Ageless - Pink Grapefruit
2. Lulu Organics® Lavender + Clary Sage Hair Powder
3. One Love Organics® Skin Savior Waterless Beauty Balm
4. Supergoop!® Sunscreen Swipes™
5. Tea Forté® skin-smart™ Teas
6. Color Club Neon Nail Polish

I know she'll like the Harvey Prince perfume since she used mine. -_- /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I know she'll use the hair powder and I'll have to see if she wants to trade the beauty balm. I know she'll enjoy the sunscreen wipes since she's in track and will love the tea and nail polish. I think she'll enjoy 100% of the items in her box.

I haven't seen anyone from here get anything other than stone, gold, or the pink. I would have really wanted to try the pearl! But I think you will be in the clear. From what I've seen most people who got box 2 (including me) ended up with A Cut Above (pink). But you could always trade for the Stone if you dont get it /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[amberlamps]

I'm getting box 4. If it arrives, it was supposed to be here on the 9th and tracking on USPS still isn't updated from the 7th.

I hope I get the light pink Tarte and either the pink or the silver Essie. I wanted the other perfume, but maybe I can find a place that sells it and get a sample. Twirl has had good reviews though.

 

[yanelib27]

I hope I get the pink in my box 2, if I do I will consider keeping it.
