Loving this box and the theme I definitely bought one. The only thing is I wish they would have put some deodorant wipes or something of that sort into the box, I think deodorant is really important for the gym so I can’t believe they skipped that one. Could have been in place of the shave cream, I definitely won’t be shaving at the gym.

Every time I see this box’s name, I get “Juke Box Hero” stuck in my head.
Every. Single. Time.

I caved and bought it. I usually end up loving these boxes even if I’m in the fence in the beginning. Can’t wait for it to arrive. Now if they’d just release the fall box already…

I’m new to Birchbox, when do they typically release the fall box?
Thanks!

Love all the special boxes! It is just fun to save up points for these. I got this, sample pack and a large Miss Jessies conditioner and paid just $7 after using 40 points and the code TAKEALEAP20. I actually love every cosmetic in this box, can always use another water bottle and the socks. Headphones will be a stocking stuffer or a spare in my car since I manage to lose them. Hopefully the fall box will be $40ish so I can rack up points for it!

Hmmm. I’ll probably pass. I do love those socks… but god knows I don’t need another travel size cleanser, dry shampoo, or mascara! And I hate the stainiac stuff.
Although the water bottle is fairly well reviewed on amazon (except it’s hard to clean), I recall getting something similar in a box and the whole awkwardness of cleaning / drying / rolling etc made me never use it. Looks like a great bottle for skiers or hikers.

Yeahhhh I’m sad about this. I’ve been wanting a women’s version of the fitness box forever, but this is kind of a disappointing box… the only thing I’d be excited about is the socks.
Cheap headphones? A water bottle that doesn’t hold its shape? Shaving cream for the gym? Noooo thanks. And the other stuff just doesn’t hold appeal to me (someone who subs to various boxes so already has them times 1 million).
Sigh. I love all things fitness, but I’m going to have to pass on this (and be sad about it).

I’ve been waiting for a women’s workout box from them since their amazing sweat the small stuff box they had for guys. I was hoping they would include a gym bag like the one in that box. I guess I won’t get my wish, but I went ahead and ordered this anyway.

Is there any info about the size of the bottle? I’ve been wanting to try that when I travel.

It’s half liter

TYVM. That is kind of small–too small for my water-guzzling habit…..

I ended up going for it, with a 20% off coupon, I couldn’t pass it up. I’m excited about the socks and the shave cream. My daughter loves that cleanser and will love that Headband! Plus, I can always use more dry shampoo. So I think at $32 it’s worth it. 🙂

Also, it looks like code FITFORACES gives aces double points on this box.
I’m not sure if I’m going to use it, as I think 20% off is a better deal, but I will if I can’t get any of the 20% off coupons to work! Although I haven’t decided if I will buy. I have that shave cream already, but I do like it. I had been considering those socks anyway, and the water bottle looks interesting, but I have more mascara and lip gloss/stain than I will ever use. Hmm.

Thanks for sharing the ACE code. Whether you use the code or 20% off, you’d only get an $8 savings (if you bought it and nothing else). Difference is that you’d get the savings right away instead of for later.

Nothing screams too exciting to me as a theme here or is anything I I need desperately. We’ve all been getting a lot of dry shampoo this summer if you subscribe to at least a couple various beauty boxes. Mascara is another thing I always had a surplus of deluxe size ones, and Stainiac isn’t that great IMO. Headphones probably aren’t with a ton or the bottle. The headband is cute, but I don’t need random printed socks either right now. I loved the CEW boxes, so worth the value, but this seems like it’d be a good gift for a teen female athlete and not much else.

I’m still waiting for the perfect Birchbox limited edition box for me! This one is alright, pretty good for the price actually, if it weren’t for the mascara, Stainiac, and headphones. I really wish they’d stop with the cheap, disposable headphones. It’s nice with the theme, but if you can’t offer quality, what’s the point?

Do you have to be a regular subscriber to buy these limited edition boxes?

I can’t wait to get this! I bought it early on Instagram before even knowing what was in it lol! Now that I know I’m even more excited, it’s such a great deal, I figured it would be way more than $40! I got this and some yes to carrots coconut wipes for free with of points! Also of course the free sample pack, TAKEALEAP20 worked for me!
