Box 18 for me! I'm excited to see whether the Stila eyeshadow is a sample card or the full palette. I really wanted the Laura Gellar lipstick but I'm very happy overall!

The Stila is a card sample, not the full palette

I got box 13.  I'm neither here nor there about it. I do dislike getting shampoo without conditioner because I tend to match lines, I don't like clashing scents.

Re Turquoise eyeliner, I always do it with gold.  I can't find my real camera to get a better photo, but it happens I'm wearing it right now (not the Eyeko, but a similar color).  I'm not a crazy color person myself, but with a bit of bronze on the cheeks and nude lips I just die for it.  Also, holy moly I need to go put some concealer under my eyes.

 
This is almost the same look I'm wearing today!  Stila shadow in kitten and my blue sparkle eyeliner from May, with my stila bronzer from last month and some Buxom lip gloss (my FAVE) in White Russian (pinky nude). 

 
Box Weight 0.4530. My Birchbox page shows the Jouer moisturizing tint, boscia blotting papers, lara bar, Eyeko eyeliner, and Live In Love perfume. I thin it's Box #4. I am waiting until I actually get the box before I add the Jouer to my trade list. I would love to trade anything on my list for Harvey Prince Hello

 
I reallllllly want that dual lipstick...sadly, getting that BB pink gloss again and mascara I can't use...happy to trade, I noticed a handful of ppl not interested in the lipstick

 
So I am getting box #2 and #12 If anyone wants my beauty blender I am willing to trade it for the mascara or blotting papers or anything else


 
It says I'm getting box 16 (wasn't going to peek but curiosity got the best of me.)  It says Ahava mud mask under products but the pic shows Fresh cleanser.  ??  I hope it really is the mask as I LOVE masks!

I have to say that staying ignorant of what others are receiving in their boxes makes for a better experience. I find myself not even glancing at what other boxes contain because it simply doesn't matter (although for those who choose to go through the effort of trading, it makes sense). A pink box shows up in my mailbox once a month and I geek out for a minute, then use the samples. Sometimes my sister and I swap products, but that's the extent of my knowledge about what other subscribers are getting.

This month it's Box 16 (according to the other thread) and it's got some things I never would have thought to try before but I'm anxious to get to, which seems to happen every month. I don't get as bowled over when UD, Stila, etc. show up because I already know I like those brands. The tough part is now deciding what to purchase with my built-up points.

I don't know how I feel about it. I do have to say that I like it more than my last one. I'm just happy I didn't get any tea!

  I might trade the perfume and scrub.
I'd be interested in your scrub if you want to look at my trade list! Not sure what I'll be putting up from this months box yet...

Yay, lucky that was my dream box!

 
I'm getting box 15, actually a decent box! YAY! So glad I'm getting a different perfume sample than the Oscar De La Renta one. I love that scent but I got it in my SS box last month and wanted something different. I'm excited for this box!

I think I posted this awhile back, but I'm not sure it ever got posted, but this is how the turquoise eyeko looks on:



It looked really good! A lot of people liked it, but I am 21.

 
I don't mind getting doubles because Birchbox is so amazing on giving people points for messups.  I was kind of hoping that my little BB pink Jouer was a repeat but I had gotten it on a different account.  It's like getting your box free ladies!  Plus getting to leave feedback for 5, 6, or 7 items!  That's the optimist in me looking at it.  The realist realizes that it is a pain in the butt for a lot of you to not get the boxes you wanted and instead get something you already have and didn't like.  Understand that, for sure.  Especially multiple mess ups over time.  Although I thought I threw away my BeFine Mint Wash and Oatmeal Scrub from the last (or one of the last) debacles, I used them both the past two nights and really liked them.  (Ducking)  I don't respect them as a company, though, for what they did to multiple members here and won't buy from them on principle because of that, but there were products to be used up (warily.  I was waiting for the stinky smell but thank goodness it was fine).  They also sent me two new night creams (two different accounts messed up) and two warming mask packets that were really nice too.  Shame that their PR and response to customers wasn't better and that they left a lot of ladies having to take action on them not shipping out orders.  The idea of the warming mask is really cool, I love how it mixes with the air and feels warm on my skin.  I might research to see if another brand makes something similar, I'm a sucker for masks.

Is there anything you want out of my box? I'm getting #17, theres an alterna bamboo hair fluide in there too. I just want to keep the nail polish, earbuds and larabar. Plus cravebox and myglam have yet to come, i'm thinking mg is going to disappoint me this month
