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.

Does anyone know the size of the Fresh Sugar Rose Lip Treatment they sent out?

I was a little disapointed I didnt get the One Love Organics product too, but I had been wanting to try an Ahava product and I love getting face creams, and I'm getting the Ahava face cream, so thats a win, even if it isnt the One Love Organics. 

If anyone is interested, One Love Organics has a kit on thier website called "Little Luxuries" for $39. that includes travel sizes of One Love Organic Skin Saviour Balm, Microderma scub/mask, the foaming cleanser and the shammy wash cloth thing.  Since I want to try the balm and the other products look good too, and I'm not recieving it in my birchbox, I might splurge and purchase the kit from One Love Organics website.

I know 39.00 is probably a lot or $ for travel sizes, but I really want to try this brand.  I am really happy with both my Birchboxes though.  I know there are going to be products that I covet that I wont be getting in my box, and I'm ok with that.  I dont want to spend the 68.00 for the full size on the Birchbox website without trying it first though.

If it's the same size as the one that came in my Test Tube prize, which I won last year, it would be roughly 1/2 the size of a full size version. I want to say mine is 0.07 oz. Full size is 0.15 oz.

Ok, it's not 0.07 oz, it's 0.08 oz.

Why would you not at least try the products before tossing $10 in the trash?  The items I am least excited about often become my favorite.

So I got TV Box 1 and Box 22.  I didn't receive them yet so I don't know nail polish colors yet.

I think I'd be happier about my boxes if I didn't know what was in the other boxes (it's completely a case of the grass is always greener....).  So for TV Box 1, I already have a Fresh Rose lip balm.  But I really do like it so I know I'll use it--still a Tarte would've been fun to play with.  For  Box 22, it's kinda my own fault. I should have used my existing acct to get a regular BB and signed up for a TV acct when I had the chance.  Instead, I signed up for a new account for the regular BB and got a mix of old and new.  Good news is that all the items I received are not ones I'd previously received.   I'm excited about the Orofluido that everyone is raving about.  

All in all, I think I'm pretty happy with the stuff I got. And there's always the excitement of the next bag!!

Does anyone know how many of the Boscia blotting linens are coming in the boxes? Is it the full size 100 sheets?

I took my silver color to Target tonight to exchange "without a receipt."  I traded for the pink!  They gave me $8 on a Target card, so technically I could have gotten anything I wanted, but I was really into the pink color! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

In other words, if anyone is not satisfied with their color, skip paying shipping to trade with someone else, just head on over to Target /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

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" />

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

 

[marybbryant]

I did the same thing.  I should have opted out of the TV with my first account and opted in with the new account. I'm getting box 21. I'm happy with it. I'm just really glad I'm not getting box 23 with the stick-on eye liner!  I am getting a couple of things I rec'd in my other box last month, but its things I like and dont mind getting a second time around, and there are a few new products to try, so its ok.  The TV box is fantastic.

I hope I get my box before they run out of the Essie color I really want!

Since I have the 2 accounts now, I'm wondering what the chances are of getting 2 of the same boxes at some point?  I hope if that happens, its a really good one!

I am getting Box 10 and am pretty happy about it. As a user of Bare Minerals I really wanted to try the One Love Organics. I also love citrus scents so I'm looking forward to the sample scent. I welcome a new polish color also although I was not crazy about the color of the Zoya color I received in January. I guess the only thing I'm not "crazy" about is tea, not b/c I won't drink it but b/c I'd rather have a skin or make up sample /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
