Oh, man, I wish I could’ve picked too. I’ve always wanted to try Jane Iredale, but Jouer looks interesting to me as well. I went with Jane Iredale because it’s a brand that’s new to Birchbox. Maybe I’ll get Jouer products in future Birchboxes? I’ve only had one box so far so this is all new to me! 🙂

When I log into my account it keeps telling me at the top get first dibs on sample choice, but when I click it, it takes me to all my previous boxes with no explanation to do something. Does anyone know what I’m supposed to do? Thanks!

Jouer! I’ll always choose anything from that brand. The Jane product will be my 2nd account. And the curated box will be my 3rd account. Yay!

Do I have to choose the curated box or does it automatically register it if i don’t choose anything. I am new to BB and was wondering, thanks 🙂

You have to choose the curated box. If you don’t choose anything, you will get 5 random samples. If you choose one of the 3 items listed above, you will get it plus 4 random samples. If you choose the curated box, you will get the exact same items that are in all the curated boxes.
Hope that helps!

Are all the boxes going to be mad men themed or is it something like pick in your sample first come first serve? And when do you get the emails for your choice?

Only the curated boxes are Mad Men themed.

I’d rather leave it to chance this time around, but I know if I don’t choose one, they’ll send me the eyeshadow. Every month I don’t pick a sample, I seem to get one in my box anyway, and it’s always the last one I would ever pick. So I might just pick the lip stain, since it’s the best of all evils!

These look great! Glad to see more makeup items offered this month. I’m torn between the eyeshadow and the blush!

The blush looks lovely, but I think I’m sold on the mad men box before BB even releases spoilers! I read an article saying it would include a liquid liner, hairspray and lip pencil to create a classic 60s look. Plus can you imagine how adorable the boxes would be!?

I wasn’t impressed with the Madmen box. (California, i believe)

I am traveling but want to order the Amika blowout spray while there’s free shipping. Is it all of March or only until the new sample choice? Is the sample choice the 23rd this month?
Sorry, have not been able to keep up while on the road.
Thanks!

I think the sampled items have free shipping for several months at least. I know I just ordered something that was sampled in December or January and it still shipped free.

My March box has disappeared in the DHL black hole. None of the samples appeal to me although I may select the Jane Iredale to avoid the other products. There are nothing wrong with them. I don’t use much makeup.

There will be a Mad Men Themed Curated Box:
Co-founders and co-chief executive officers of Birchbox, Katia Beauchamp and Hayley Barna and “Mad Men” creator, Matthew Weiner, has curated an assortment of beauty, grooming and lifestyle products for both the men’s and women’s April boxes. Female subscribers will receive a selection of products like inky liquid liner to create a cat eye or hairspray to fashion a bouffant. Birchbox Man members will get a range of items that includes grooming products and accessories.
i guess im in the minority im am very MEH about all these. but judging from the fact that the last bazillion times i have tried to get my sample choice and have not gotten it, it wont matter anyway !

Me too! I didn’t choose anything last month, either. I got a sample of the Jane Iredale stain in the mail a while ago (I actually emailed and asked for a sample, lol) and it’s good, but it’s not something I would use enough to choose it. I’m hoping the curated box really is a Mad Men box, like the NY Daily News reported.

Exciting! This will be the first BB where I get to pick my samples, etc. so I’m happy that these look like good choices. But, if the curated box really is Mad Men themed I think I’ll have to go with that one.

I heard it was mad men themed as well!

I have gotten that Jane Iredale stain in the past, and it is one of the best things I’ve ever used! It goes on clear, but within minutes it becomes perfectly flattering.

I like it on my cheeks (I’m really pale) but it never really worked for my lips. I’ll probably choose it though, because it was awesome for my cheeks (and no brushes to wash).

If I get the lipstick I’ll have to try it on my cheeks too and I love what Sneaky Burrito says about no brushes to wash! I have two subscriptions now thanks to reading that Sneaky Burrito does this so one account can be the curated box and the other I can pick or be surprised.

Thanks for telling us about the lipstick, Pegi, I was considering the eyeshadow or just letting them pick the entire box for me but now I’m leaning towards the lipstick. I’ll also wait and see what the other box is.

I was going to go for the blush, but now I’m intrigued by the lip stain!

I wonder what the curated box is going to be, but I like these sample choices. I want the Jouer blush sample.

Ooooo! Wicked cool! If so, I’m totally going for the Mad Men box!

That’s right. I forgot about the curated box. I really like that lip and cheek tint from Jane Iredale. I am so over getting eyeshadow, especially brands that I’ve gotten from ipsy before.
