Birchbox September 2015 Sample Choice Spoilers!

I guess I’ll get the shampoo on one and the brow pencil on the other account. That is truly the worst curated box I’ve seen. And that Marcelle eyeliner is terrible. Not only is it not waterproof, it smears and ‘drifts’ something terrible!

Wow, this months box really seems like a bust…i’m surprised. I own the Liz Earle hot cloths and they make your skin feel amazing, so if you haven’t tried them, i’d do that. Guess I’ll have to take my chances this month and not pick any samples at all. Maybe the Birchbox gods will be nice to me and give me something better 🙂

Is it possible to skip a month? Not feeling anything this time around…

Liz, does Birchbox have any deals where they try to lure you back in?

My year was up so I cancelled. Now I regret it,? but I’m trying to hold out until they have a deal.

I added on the Stila liquid lipstick trio. I picked Bella the hot pink one in July and it is my new HG lipstick so I can’t wait to try the bright orange and red.

hopefully i get the email this month…its very hit or miss for me but i would pick the brow pencil. hoping its the right color ! all other items dont appeal and i think i have all the items in the customer faves box

I am so excited because I was one of the winners from the box design contest and my name is going to be on the box! I am not choosing the curated box since it has its own box design.

This will be the first time in several months that I won’t be opting for the curated box – is it just me or is it seriously underwhelming? I’m not crazy about the other sample options either – love Davines but I only use specific shampoos for my blonde highlights, not a huge fan of Pop shadows (I received a brown trio through ipsy and never used it beyond the initial swatch), and I’ve never been wowed by the Pores No More line from Dr. Brandt. I would try the Anastasia brow pencil, but I’m traditionally taupe in that line and I’m afraid it’ll be too dark. September’s shaping up to be a bit of a miss at this point. Oh well – enjoyed July and August 🙂

I wonder if the brow product will work with dark eyebrows? I might get that and the eyeshadow, simply because I’ve received both the other samples before (in fact I have the cleanser in FS from BeautyDNA). Curated box does not interest me primarily because of the Harvey Prince. Also I’ve gotten the Liz Earle product before and I have a couple of the Marcelle liners already. (Harvey Prince fragrances are just not for me. Although Sincerely is the worst!)

I’ve been subscribed for two months now and haven’t gotten this email about choosing a sample. Do I need to pay more than the $10 to do this or is something wrong with my account? Thanks.

I got the Hello! sample in this month’s box, a Beauty Protector body wash (I’m not a fan of the scent) AND the Davines shampoo in the Mystery trio so me thinks the Dr. Brandt cleanser will be my choice (I just brought a eyeshadow palette in plum-y colors AND medium brown is probably too light for my brows). This is an underwhelming month, given how I got similar selections in my recent bonuses/boxes, I can’t help but feel like BB is experiencing a little fatigue!

Got the Dr. Brandt’s in my last box but I like it so I may choose that. Or maybe the eyebrow pencil, though it may be too dark for me.

Are you kidding me ?? Same stuff all the time. I love the concept of BB and have subscribed with them for years , but am over getting the same things over and over when they sell thousands of products. I’ve yet to get a sample of foundation. I am over the same hair products already. Barely get a lipstick except for the crayons and I’ve received more than one of the Stila awful long lasting lip stains. I bought a yearly subscription and once that is over will rethink if it’s worth it to spend $10 to get the discounts. I’m on the Sephora waiting list and and thinking they have to do better than this for $10.

None of the sample choices really stand out to me, but I LOVE that “mood board” box! Gorgeous!!! I’ll probably go for the Davines or Anastasia item 🙂

I’m new to Birchbox I’m trying to figure out what the “Harvey Prince Hello” item is. Is it a fragrance? thanks

Try harder, Birchbox! If I get one more blasted Harvey Prince Hello sample I’m going to lose my mind.

I think I’ll go for the shampoo. Not a wildly exciting sample choice for me this month, but I like Davines.

I loved the last 2 curated boxes but definitely won’t be getting this one. That grayish-purple mid tone, last in the palette, looks nice though so hopefully there will be enough to go around.

I like the eyeshadow, and that cuff bracelet looks nice. The necklace might be interesting, too. It seems every other month either there’s something I want in the regular box, or the curated box looks cool. I figure one of these days I’ll want both (and I’m not adverse to signing up for two boxes) but so far it’s worked well.

I am not too thrilled either but I will go with the Dr. Brandt but I love the tote so I think I will get it.

Anastasia brow pencil, yay! I wonder how come I didn’t get an email with the video link? I usually do. I hope my sample choice email on the 26th gets here!

Can you cancel an add on?

I’m not too excited about September’s choices because I’ve gotten almost all of those items before in my previous Birchboxes. I will be choosing the Anastasia pencil since it’s the only item I haven’t received thus far.

Hm… I’m not too into the addons this month, and the curated doesn’t appeal to me since it has shampoo, which I rarely use. (I have curly hair and use a cleansing conditioner.) I just got the Dr. Brandt cleanser in my August box, and I don’t need a brow pencil, so I’m going with the eyeshadow trio, which actually has some colors I’ve been looking for.

Ooh. It’s gonna be hard choosing my sample this month.

And as someone who purchased the La Mer Necklace last night, let me advise against picking it up. It looked so chic on Lorelei last month, but up close it feels kind of cheap. I can find use for it, but it was kind of disappointing nevertheless.
