Birchbox - The March boxes

[snllama]

Yeah we all got the 3 green teas. I wish I had gotten a chance to try the apple roobios. But the 16 pack is only $6, which is comparable to other teas at the grocery store. So I think I may buy this pack.

I forgot I had made my cherry marzipan tea and had half of it sitting cold. Holy crap, it was delicious as an iced tea! I bet I could get away with using one bag to steep a liter.

 I ordered the samples, too, and then noticed in one of the soothing masks I was getting one of the ingredients is SD alcohol....um, if I put that on my face it would be pissed!!!!

That is a good idea!

If the email indicates what samples we get I am getting a ton! The consultant recommended 7 items. Did anyone receive their package yet?

Did everyone get the same 3 tea samples?  I noticed they also have a coconut tea on their website and I was wondering if anyone had tried it?  Sounds like a good summer tea /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Finally got my box!! I got Box 13. Love it, except the perfume. Yuck - not a good smell.

I had forgotten that I would be getting the one year box so I was really surprised when the box was pink, haha.

Here is my unboxing video for anyone who is curious:

Hi all! I'm new to Birchbox but I've been lurking on the site for quite some time now. 

I signed up through the TV option, however I received a regular March box instead. Luckily, I got the email saying that they would be sending me a TV box as well. I do have a question and I'm hoping maybe someone on the site knows...will I be able to review the products from the TV box? Under my "BOX" page it is showing the regular box, but I wasn't sure if it will be updated with the TV box or will even be shown at all since technically I received a March box already.

I don't think we are going to get to review it. I don't really expect extra points opportunities in addition to an extra box, at least.

I finally received my bb box in the mail!

 This is my 3rd month and this box It is absolutely perfect for Me. I am blown away by all of the products and goodies I received.

 
1. Annick Goutal perfume smells fruity and a bit sexy!

2. Nail Polish which is one of the colors I wanted. I think it's perfect for spring!

3. Ms Jessies shampoo (2 packets), conditioner (2 packets)  And meringue in all very generous sizes

4. Wei beads-I know this is from last month but I really wanted to try it

5. Tibetan shower/cream gel which I will probably use tonight!

I needed a free shipping item for my purchase so I decided to go ahead and get the full box of the Cherry Marzipan tea. It is definitely my favorite of the three! But too bad there isn't a box mixed with all 5 flavors.

I did the M.A.D. samples and never got a reply, I asked about it on their FB page and they did e mail me saying they would check if I was on the list then get back to me but they never did. *shrug* not going to worry about and bug them for samples. Unless someone posts that they are really good! lol I did get the reply from Mario Badescu this morning. I'm interested in the strawberry scrub or something along those lines, can't remember exactly. It was one of my samples so I am excited to try it.
I think you'll really like the Mario Badescu Strawberry Scrub! It's one of my HG products: a good exfoliant but doesn't leave your skin all dried out. In fact, it leaves your skin quite soft, but not overly moisturized or greasy (I have VERY oily skin and anything overly emollient would be a problem for me).

Just got my MAD samples today.  I got the Youth Transformation Age Corrective Serum, Eye Transformation Serum and the Wrinkle Repellent Environmental Protection Serum.  I am excited to try them.  I know that someone posted a list of pore clogging ingredients.  If that was you, do you mind posting again?!!!!  If anyone has it handy, can you repost?  Thank you!!!!

Now I'm more excited to get it! I did get my M.A.D. samples yesterday. 2 brightening products, one aging product and one acne.  I did specify I wanted to try the brightening so I'm glad I got 2 of those.  I gave my mom the aging product. I do try and do preventative (I'm 22) but I like to give her some of the stuff I get once in awhile

My replacement TV box should be here tomorrow. I'm pretty sure its box 2, and I'm so excited since this will be my 3rd bb this month, lol. 

 

[yanelib27]

I think they are sending out the same boxes to replace what you were originally sent. Mine said in the email it was BB4. The Teen Vogue I got on my second account and they replaced it with another box # 4.
