New Birchbox Perfect Curl Collection Box + Coupon!

I found Alikay Naturals through a Curlkit years ago. There products smell amazing too. Super expensive in my opinion but I haven’t found one product I didn’t like.

Ulta had a curl box like this that they sold for $10. It was a great way to try different products, and I use them when I travel. The Diva Curl is my favorite, and I think that size is almost $9 or $10 on it’s own. I wish they had included the conditioner though. The Ouidad stuff is terrible, but I would love to try the Living Proof. Oddly enough, my hair never curls the first day, but my second day dirty hair is always nice and curly.

When I see this box all I can think of is, “If you’re havin *curl* problems I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems but a b**** ain’t one”.
Lmao!!!

This box seems nice but the price does seem high, especially if you aren’t adding on and have to include shipping.

There is no way in the world I’d waste $18 on this especially with Ouidad’s trifling self on the inside.

For those really interested in a curl-friendly box, just know there are plenty out there and many offer full-size products. Google is your friend while BB is probably just jumping on the bandwagon (late as heck, mind you) to get your curly bucks.

I’m curious to know if these products are all curly girl approved and what their ingredients are. Alot of products claim to be for curly hair when they in fact contain ‘cones’, alcohols and sulfates, all things that will weigh down and dry out a curly girls hair! Deva curl is for sure a great cg product but i’d research the rest first.

A box specifically for chicks with curly hair?! Yahoo!! Oh, it’s $18 for what is basically a regular $10 Birchbox? No thanks. Also, I’ve yet to sample a Living Proof product that I like. Also surprised that they didn’t include a Miss Jessie’s sample in the box. I found Miss Jessie’s through Birchbox and it’s the only hair product that I’ve liked enough to purchase full size through them.

Since this is the only time we’re likely to have a “curly girl” forum, what are your favorite curl products? Aveda has been my go to for years but have tried a number from the subscription world. I liked Deva Curl but it smells too strong and is expensive. Miss Jessie’s seems to be about the best value brand, I thought Living Proof was terrible, and found Curl keeper pretty meh. What works for you?

As a curly haired girl I’ve received all these samples except the living proof at some point or another in my BB. I’m on board with the people that think $18 is a bit of a stretch. I’d be more inclined to shell out a few extra dollars if just one of these products was full sized.

Does anyone know how that macadamia sample is? I’ve received the oil and it comes in a glass bottle… I feel like a cream would be hard to get out of the glass bottle and it looks the same.

I’m confused by people saying that the value isn’t there. Birchbox says it’s a $46 retail value, which means that if you like these products and want more, or just want to try them for the first time, $18 sounds pretty good to me. If you don’t want them, then the value for you is $0, which is the case for anything you don’t want, right? Like, the Cambridge Satchel from Rachel Zoe has a $0 value for me, but others would give up an arm and a leg for it. Sure, these are “just samples” but they’re sizable and will last a long time, not to mention that it’s not like you’d get a box full of specially curated curly hair samples in your monthly Birchbox for $10.

I’m not seeing an $18 value there, at all. And, the Living Proof sample is the only one I’m intrigued by. I’ve tried the Deva Curl No Poo, macadamia oil, and the Ouidad gel, as I’m sure many of us curly haired girls have, because these products have been around and recommended for a while.

I ordered the box. I’ve received one sample for curly hair despite tweaking my profile and emailing BB. I’ve been a subscriber since June 2014.

While I’d love a curly hair box for me, I’m going to jump on the “not sure why it’s $18” bandwagon here. That seems a little much for samples.

True $18 seems high for samples and miss jessie’s is my favorite and it’s not even in the box.

I’m always a sucker for a new LE Birchbox but this does not peak my interest at all. This was an easy pass for me. 🙂 Saving up my points for Fall and Holiday boxes!

The idea is nice but Michelle is right, no reason why a box of little samples should be $18. Too bad, because I know I would love this box.

This looks like a box of samples to me, only one more than I get with my normal Birchbox each month. I have gotten some of these along the way in the box, is there something special about this box that I am missing that would make the additional $18 worth it?

Ooooh – I may have to try that. My waves are looking pretty sad these days.
