Birchbox January 2017 Sample Choice Spoilers + Coupon!

Does anyone watch that new show on Lifetime “Fashion Start Up” with the owner of BB as an investor on the show?

Love the curated box sans the liner, but I’ll give it to a gf.

Do you think we will get that size of the Shisiedo that is in the video? It seems like there are times when you get a teeny sample instead of what was shown.

I’m actually really excited for the sample choice, but I’m torn between the R+Co or the Sunday Rliey? I’ll probably pick the R+Co and hope the Sunday Riley is in the box too 😉 but happy enough if I just get some more R+Co. Love their products. Ended up purchasing a full size of the cleansing conditioner after sampling it.

Argh, enough with the eyeliner already!

Ugh, finally! They’ve been teasing that Birchbox brand water-resistant mascara for over a year, I think.

Someone pick it & swap with me! 😀

Ever since the point system was changed to stop including sample reviews BB has gone downhill and fast. My last few boxes were all either repeats or things I wouldn’t use. Plus the sizes were so tiny they didn’t even take up 25% of the box. I at least was praying the December box would surprise me with great goodies but was sadly disappointed only loving my LOC stick which I chose to receive. The January box will make it exactly 1 year & 6 months since I began. I’ll do sample choice and if it tanks I’m cancelling…
The question is what to subscribe to instead… hmmm…

Bor-ing! Four more months to go and I’ll be done forever with BB.

January is the final box in my one year, pre-paid subscription. I will not be renewing. As expected, my 3+ years history with Birchbox will go out with a whimper.

Well…I like the eyeliner. 🙁 That’s sad!

Do we have to use our points before cancelling? Thinking I’m going to let them go and sign up for Look Fantastic instead 🙂

I can’t believe they are still trotting out all of these repeats🙄

I know that Sunday Riley Good Genes gets a lot of love, but it irritated my skin like nothing else. I used the deluxe sample a few months ago, and when I used it the first time, the “tingle” was more of a “hey, am I on fire?” sensation, and after three days, my skin was patchy, red, and flaking in weird places, like my chin and sides of my nose. It was stupid of me to continue to use it even after the initial burning sensation, but my skin isn’t usually sensitive and I’ve used lactic acid exfoliators before many times with no problem. Anyway, YMMV, and some people swear by it, but I just wanted to share my experience – if your skin is at all sensitive, you may want to think twice about picking this one.

My Birchbox sub ended in November, and I have no FOMO at all about these January spoilers. I like the Shiseido cleansing oil well enough, but otherwise none of the items in the curated box or sample choice are doing anything for me. I’m glad some folks are happy with the choices though.

The sweater in the video is really distracting. And not in a good way.

I am going to cancel BB too, but unsure what to replace it with. Thoughts???

I think the curated box looks great with the exception of the dry shampoo. I’ve had the Eyeko liner before but I like it and need a new one so Id be happy to have it. And a brow product, cleanser AND eye pads? Awesomeness.

Nothing there to make me want to subscribe. Think I am also done with Allure. Nothing exciting.

just an FYI that Sunday Riley sample is very small- you will probably get two uses out of it max.

Repeat, repeat, repeat. I canceled today after receiving my December box yesterday. More perfume and eyeliner. 3 usable tiny samples are not worth $10. I’m happy with my decision after seeing these spoilers. I will take the $10 a month and put it toward my favorite full-size products.

I can’t even count how many times I have received the eyeko liquid liner between my Ipsy and Birchbox in one form or another. 10+ and I have liquid liner.

Why would they have a promo for adding the same exact eyeliner that’s already in the curated box? That wasn’t well thought out for drawing in new subscribers or bringing back old ones. I think the curated box actually looks decent, and the Sunday Riley interests me, but I don’t think it’s enough to make me resubscribe. Maybe if the promo was for something else, I would have considered it. Who is making these decisions for Birchbox? They should consider what their customers perceive.

Is that curated box a joke? I know most of those are staples…I mean, I do like that liner, but I’ve gotten 8 of them in the last few months..and the same Kloraine dry shampoo? Uggh…..

I got that eyebrow gel in my box this month. There’s hardly any product in it. It only covers the tip of the brush. I’m going to go with the Shampoo. I’m always looking for a good clarifying shampoo and I use these little samples for travel or camping.

I guess I’m the weirdo who is really excited for this month – I’m going to have a hard time choosing between the Sunday Riley sample and the curated box! My girlfriend and I go through dry shampoo as if it were precious life sustaining oxygen, and I have wanted to try the shiseido cleansing oil. I also love collagen eye pads, need more brow gel, and liquid eyeliner is the only type of liner I use… So it’s basically the perfect box for me.

Just cancelled this month. I was so sick of the endless samples of Marcelle, random lotions and hair oils, and uninteresting skincare. If I did get a color cosmetic, it was always something I would never wear. I updated my profile and reviewed samples religiously, but it was no help. It’s just been BORING. It’s sad, BB was my first sample box love.

I’m on monthly sub now. How do I cancel?? Too many repeats and nothing exciting. Maybe it’s because I’ve been with them for 3 years. There are so many other subs with more to offer!!!
