Birchbox March 2014 Review

I got the SMART Skin perfecting serum and primer and the Balm cheek/lip tint, both of which i LOVED and plan on purchasing full sizes of. The other items in my box (supergoop, Jergens BB body cream, and i think something else I can’t remember) were just ok.

I got none of this. I got ….and I mean the worse subscription box I have ever got. It had like 3 beauty samples in it with one of most tiny bottle of lotion. And one small piece candy. No coupons. No full sized or even what ud call trial size. I email them, they cancel subscription but say its policy no to delete my account on their website??? Huh?

Given yea the candy was the only thing in there worth a crap but it was one bite. I mean one bite!

I got a second (and different) Birchbox this month. I received an email saying :
Hi Michelle,
Some mistakes come with a silver lining. Case in point: Due to a shipping error, you’ve got not one but TWO Birchboxes heading your way this month. The second is, of course, free of charge.
Feel free to pass the second box along to a deserving friend, or double up and keep them all for yourself!
Let us know if you have any questions!
Thank you,
Team Birchbox

SO I AM VERY HAPPY 🙂 🙂 🙂

I got a completely different box. I was disappointed at first with how tiny everything was, but the box has grown on me a bit since trying the Air Repair lip balm. Despite being so tiny, a little goes a really long way. I’ve been using it daily since I got my box last week and still have plenty. The Big Easy sample was so tiny it didn’t even cover my face. I could just use a tiny bit over some red patches on my forehead, nose, and cheeks. I think I’d like using it, but it’s hard to tell from that sample. The Balm sample was adorably packaged but a little bright for my taste. The cherry almond chocolate vanished within 90 seconds of opening the box. And I haven’t tried the Michael Todd moisturizer or the oddly giant foil packet of OmniPotent Duosity hair treatment yet.

they have a special***** pay for a year and i think you get 5 full size beauty products in your first box!!!!! Wish they had had that when i signed up =(

I actually got Caudalie and Jurlique items in my BB this month and was really excited! I also got the super small air repair rescue balm, but it works really well. Also got the “the balm” cheek and lip color, which has adorable packaging and is a cute color. Chocolate sample was gross, but I was really happy with the rest of the box.

Another month I’m not impressed with my box. My first BB was so exciting and had primarily makeup so I was thrilled but ever since I keep getting moisturizers upon moisturizers. I reworked my beauty profile recently but I think boxes shipped the next day so I didn’t expect it to take effect yet. I did receive a very pretty blush/lip creme from theBalm in the color Apple that I’m thrilled with.

I finally spent some Birchbox points on a greeting card (to be framed) and a mini but deluxe sized mascara, both of which I’m super pumped about. My biggest complaint is that though I only spent $14.50 (I bought from the free shipping section to get more bang for my buck) they took the full $20 (or 200 points) away.

I have NEVER been so bummed to open a box in my entire mystery subbing career. I was more excited to have the pizza coupons in my mailbox than my Birchbox. I was half tempted to just chunk the whole darn thing in the garbage. Contents: The three pack of tea (southern gal here and theres only one type of tea I’m drinking and it ain’t this junk). Air repair rescue balm one use sample (by one use I mean not even enough for my face). Control Corrective healing lotion 3mL (another one use sample of lotion). Gilchrist & Soames body lotion 1.5 fl oz (atleast this will last a few uses) and finally a Pop beauty aqua laquer in fuchsia (it seems every pop beaty product I receive from subs is fuchsia colored which is very unflattering on me). But its ten bucks and its a gamble. I knew this signing up and I’ve won some and lost some. Birchbox is like a lottery I can justify playing. Overall I’m satisfied with them even though they haven’t quite figured me out yet 🙂

I got tea again too! I’m so sick of it. I don’t drink tea and I don’t want tea. Also, I continually get products for skincare even though my profile states I don’t want skincare products. I have rosecea and am very limited in what I can use. I would love to get some makeup every now and then. Nope, only tea and skincare. I’ll probably cancel.

I really wasn’t impressed with March’s box (somewhat disappointed). I received the Air Repair rescue balm, Gilchrist and Soames lotion, the Inika eyeliner in green, the Supergoop serum, the tea (third time) and the chocolate square. I still have items from my last four Birchboxes that really didn’t meet my preferences. But, its still fun to see what products and brands are out there. I welcome the opportunity to swap with anyone.

I received Design Essentials Natural Curl Enhancing Mousse 1.83 fl oz. Gilchrist & Soames Body Lotion 1.5 fl oz., Supergoop City Sunscreen Serum 10 ml, Air Repair All-Purpose Skin Salve & Lip Balm (super tiny size), and the Stila lip gloss in a pink shade.
I gave the lip gloss to my daughter because the color is not me and I really don’t like the feel of lipgloss. The Supergoop has a strong sunscreen smell and I don’t know if my face will be able to handle it. I have yet to cut open the Air Repair. The body lotion smells faintly like fresh cut grass and soaks in fairly quickly. The mousse smells like green apple Jolly Ranchers, I hope it does some nice things to my curls.

Not overly thrilled with my box this month, not even sure I received anything in the sneak peeks.

I got no make-up this month. :-/ I got the Gilchrest and Soames lotion, DDF moisturizing dew, Ojon hair treatment, Coola BB cream, English Laundry Perfume and the chocolate. I was bummed that the chocolate wasn’t a full bar like last time, the perfume is terrible (AGAIN), the lotion smells like something an elderly person would wear, and the coola had zero coverage. I haven’t tried the hair treatment, but I’m told it smells like tobacco. I REALLY wish they would stop sending me perfume. I’ve hated every single perfume sample they’ve sent me. I really wanted the Stila and the eyeliner. LAME.

I’m super glad I got the eyeliner too! Because we got almost the same box and I am not excited about the other stuff. The BB body cream could be cool I guess (I’m just going to use it on my declotte to try and maximize the effects in one area for trial purposes) but I HATE supergoop products. I don’t ever want that or Coola again lol!

Not a perfume is the first perfume I LOVED. I am so sad, my sample is almost gone 🙁 Hopefully people will post it on their swaps!

My box doesn’t sound like any of the others that have posted. I didn’t receive any of the items you did and the only piece I had in common with any of the other posts was the cherry chocolate. I have been really disappointed with Birchbox as of late, I have changed up my profile in hopes of getting better items but it still hasn’t happened. I am looking for an alternative to them I just hate to give them up b/c they were my very first box too and got me started on sub boxes.

Ahh we’re box twins! I didn’t think I’d like the perfume either, but it ended up being one of my favorite samples. The curl creme/serum/stuff ended up being great, too. I feel like it gave my hair a lot more volume today and is keeping my waves in place.

The only same item in my box is curl definer. I wasn’t that excited about my box this month. I received tea and chocolate. I have in my profile that I don’t want food items but I know they have so many customers it happens and my kids will use them. I did just get tea in January. I love your liner! I have a black liner by them, it’s nice.

I’ve been doing birch box for awhile now too. I rec’d Air Repair Balm, Harvey Prince Cherie Blossom perfume sample, stila Lip Glaze (sort of looks too pink, but I haven’t tried it on yet), Supergoop sunscreen and the Jergen’s BB Body Cream.

I got this same box & loved it! I’m all about that eyeliner. Also, I have crazy curly hair and I tried Curl Keeper yesterday and it’s incredible. I already ordered a full size of it with my Birchbox points. I was so impressed with this box.

Loved mine this time thought that the sample sizes were so much better than last months box. I got the COOLA tinted matte for face, DDF ultra lite oil free moisturizer (full size is 1.7 fl oz @ $42 sample is 1 fl oz so I figure about 20 for the sample-win!), Gilchrist & Soames body lotion, English Laundry NO 7 perfume sample, Ojon hair treatments and a square of Ghirardelli cherry tango chocolate. I love Ojon products and cant wait to try the chocolate

None of these items were in my box; however, I did like everything in my box this month.

We got the exact same box! I also love the liner (oddly, just bought some CoverGirl green eyeliner before I got my box), but other than that nothing really stands out.

I would have loved to have gotten that eyeliner, but I did get theBalm cheek/lip color which I adore!

I got this exact same box! That’s a first. I like everything but the curl keeper… I have straight hair! I thought our preferences were supposed to keep these sorts of things from happening.

Hi. How do you swap products? Is there a website for that? Thanks.
