Birchbox - The March boxes

[yanelib27]

I just calculated it, and Box # 2 is worth $52.67 /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I LOVE BB!! 

And my other box, # 4, is at least 34.67, not including the Kerastase since I wont know how much the sample size is worth until I get it

I might be willing to trade the Tarte for the blotting papers, since I really wanted the blotting papers, and Birchbox has been pretty bad on guessing good lipstick/gloss colors for me so far. I also may want to trade my Essie if I end up with a pink one...

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" />

Hey thanks a bunch for your response!  I will be thrilled with any of those colors!  IDK if you've ever seen the Pearlfection irl but I don't think it looks like online pics of it look.  Its not very pearly to me - kinda just like a very very fine glitter topcoat.  My favorite combo is over a real pinky pink.  Kinda looks like birthday cake frosting!  LOL

I'm getting box 2 which is exactly what I wanted but I hope I don't get Essie in A Cut Above, I was at target yesterday and the pink glitter bits are HUGE! I'd rather get it in As Gold As It Gets (flakey pieces, thinner than glitter chunks) or Shine Of The times (shiny cellophane flakes, but no one has gotten that one yet).

First to answer your question there are 10 blotting sheets. And I figured out the value of my box 2 to be equal to 38.30, still a good value, but not quite as high.

I have all the values listed on my blog post: http://mesjoiesdevivre.blogspot.com/2012/03/birchbox-march-2012-teen-vogue.html

Does anyone know what the pink box is?  I've noticed their is a pink box every month.  Has anyone ever received a pink box?

Its the 13th box for annual subscribers. A kind of anniversary box I guess.

Oh, good old lucky # 13.  Thanks!

I'm getting box #2 as well.  If I get the pink glitter polish, I'll probably take it to CVS (I've seen those polishes there), and say I bought it for my neice but she already has that one, and exchange it for the more subtle gold flakey one.

So, I just checked my account only to find out I am getting box 10.  Ugh!  I opted in for the TV box so imagine my disappointment seeing that I didn't get one! 

I'm not thrilled with any of the products in my box this month!!!!!!!!  I'll probably either give the whole box away or simply throw it in the trash.

This is my 2nd month with BB and haven't had the "wow" factor.  Guess I'll give them another month or so before I decide if I want to cancel.

Don't throw it away! I've got a handful of products I'd be willing to trade for almost everything in your box. I bet you could get lots of things you wanted for those samples.

My box is on its way.  It weighs .5470.   Anyone know which box this is???

If you log in to your birchbox account and click "box" it will tell you. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 

 

[sarahm]

I'd totally be willing to trade!

Trade your samples here! https://www.makeuptalk.com/t/121990/birchbox-open-trade-thread/

Funny, I would have loved that box, though I understand your disapointment that its not a Teen Vogue box.  I always love getting nail polish, and that One Love Organics product is amazing. Lots of people would probably be happy to do a trade with you.   At least you'll get the points for reviewing your samples.

I'm getting Box #1, and I'm completely thrilled.

In December, I had expressed how bummed I'd been with Birchbox and how I never got anything I liked in any box I recieved. Since then, I have consistently loved my box, so I'm very glad I didn't cancel. Now that I know what it feels like to get products I really wanted, I'll be more likely to stick by BB when my 'not so likeable' boxes come around.

I really did want Tarte lipsurgence, but I think I wanted the Fresh Lip Treatment just as bad, if not more. I've actually wanted to buy it several times, so I'm glad that I didn't. Also, I was pretty annoyed I never got the e-mail to opt in for a Teen Vogue box, so I'm glad I ended up getting in anyways.

And I seem to be the only one happy to get the pink polish lol, but it's the one I wanted.

Very happy!

I am getting box #9, should be here tomorrow or tuesday, anyone willing to trade it for box#10 OR #14, I don't HATE my box, but I was REALLY hoping for the OneLove stuff. Let me know. I won't be getting it until Tuesday-ish.
