I don't know which I got (green wrapper- New York?) but it was broken when I got it /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> It smelled really good too, I am expecting a replacement next week. CS said it should be to me by Monday, however tracking info says Thurs.

I used the mascara yesterday and was not impressed.  I had smudge lines all over before 10am!  I put it on at 7:45 or so....

They sent me a new sample as well and they sent the teeny tiny little sample in a GIANT box!  It was such a waste of packing materials etc.  If you see a giant box, it may just contain one tiny sample.

I got the Astor Place perfume and I really like it! Not enough to buy the full size, but enough to use it /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I received the Bond No, 9 in Bleeker Street and it reminds me of a cross between CK One and D&G Light Blue for Women. It's really nice! But at $175 for 1.7 oz.... that's a bit pricey. Need to see if this has longevity.

 That is disappointing...seems like you had the same experience as all of the reviews online.  Makes me not even want to try it.  I got it and put it with the rest of my makeup.  I think I will try it on a Sat or Sun when I don't have to be anywhere.

I was able to use both. I guess when I applied the BBMOM and BBSOCIETYMAY they hadn't said it wasn't combinable yet. I called and they put a $25 credit in my account for the BBMOM and then i put in BBSOCIETYMAY. I got a Stila eyeshadow and a CHI hair straightener for $87.

I've twice already, a single layer and then went over it with another mascara (voluminous) like I always do and it works fine...

Did have smudge marks around 6pm however that's normal for me and I do my makeup around 6:30am! Pretty good if ya ask me!

I used it today applied 2 coats, and no problems. It is now 12 hours later and all is well.

I have major smudge lines today after using it for the first time.  Not a good look

Yeah I got the signature scent and it smells like men's bodywash. Not great at all and way too musky. I prefer my fruity scents, thank you very much.

I have mine on right now and I seriously smell like a dude.  PASS!!!!!!

Yeah, I might give it to my boyfriend. Haha. I'm not into the whole androgynous scent thing.  I'm pretty sure Birchbox sampled an androgynous cologne this month too. Not sure which one it was though...

 

[Antidentite]

My boyfriend thought I had used his cologne when I put it on...he did like it though.  I like unisex scents, kind of like that blk denim that went out in Birchbox a few months ago.

I got this one as well. I love it too! I'm trying not to love it too much because of the retail price but so far it could be my favorite item in this month's box.

This is going way back a few days, but just wanted to comment that today I wore my Bond No. 9 New York High Line sample for the first time. Out of the vile, it smelled really nice. When I put it directly on my skin and I held my nose up to it initially, it smelled really nice. However, throughout the morning, every so often I would turn my head, and I'd get the burnt tire smell also! Its really odd because I smell my wrist, and it only slightly smells off. I went through and smelled all of my other hair products and makeup that I use on a daily basis, my clothes were fresh out of the laundry, and I can't really distinguish what else could possibly be creating the odor. 

Ah well, its for the best. I was REALLY tempted to splurge on it too.

 

[snllama]

After just one month I decided to cancel. Wasnt impressed and not excited at all about the products. 

 

[yanelib27]

I am giving it one more month before I cancel, but I agree.. I wasnt happy and havent even used anything except the perfume. Which is really nice but Im not gonna be buying it... I give this box a C -. I thought I would be more excited about the powder puff thingy but I havent even opened it to look at it. Dont want the strivectin and have so much hair stuff I havent even looked at the fluide. Maybe I would get some use out of the mascara but I just dont use mascara ever, just eye liner. I hope it gets better or I will be done with this sub as well.

 

[yanelib27]

Conscious box is looking more and more appealing to me. 

 

[americanclassic]

Not loving this box at all. I'm not going to use anything from it, and if last month's box doesn't improve I think I might cancel--it's been steadily getting worse since the first box. What is it with sample companies and random hair oils? My hair needs volume not de-frizz or shine, so all these creams and oils are like the opposite of what I need lol.

Are people without wrinkles or stretch marks using Strivectin? Does it improve your skin in general or should I not really bother with it? The perfume and mascara are, to me, free samples--I have like a billion free mascaras and perfume vials lying around untouched, I didn't really need more.. and the perfume smells too mature for me anyway.

Also, I don't get the point of having a shimmery powder--I guess it's for your body and not your face? Ehh.. The fact that we paid $15 instead of $10 makes this box seem kind of crappier lol.
