First time getting 7 items and I didn’t see this combo listed yet:
*Milk Lip and Cheek
*Mally Beauty mascara
*Three items from Davines Naturaltech – Replumping Hair Filler, shampoo and conditioner
*Dr. Brandt Pores No More Cleanser
*Air Repair Boosting Moisturizer

Pretty jazzed about trying the Davines line since I’ve seen so many positive comments about it.

Why are the UK boxes so much better??? I wish I could order the UK birchbox instead!!
The products are nice and the September box is SO cute! It has a little drawer that pulls out! So cute I want it!

I’m getting:
JUARA Candlenut Body Creme (Interesting)
derma e® Microdermabrasion Scrub (Also interesting)
Klorane Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk – Natural Tint – For Brunette to Dark Hair (Cautiously optimistic)
Milk Makeup Lip + Cheek (My sample choice)
Bioderma® Sébium H2O (Excited to try)

I feel like Birchbox has redeemed itself to me. After the July box I was ready to cancel, but I’m glad I didn’t. I got the curated box for August and I’m happy with it. This box is also a hit for me.

And to anyone thinking of subscribing, I would say the Stila liquid lipstick is worth it even without the rest of the box. I got one last month and I love it!

Hey I got the exact same products as you!!

-JUARA Candlenut Body Creme
-derma e® Microdermabrasion Scrub
-Klorane Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk – Natural Tint – For
Brunette to Dark Hair
-Milk Makeup Lip + Cheek
-Bioderma® Sébium H2O

I’m happy to try the Milk makeup lip+cheek but I was hoping to get more makeup ? Im out of makeup remover so we’ll see how the Bioderma works out. I’ve never tried dry shampoo so I’m exited for the Klorane dry shampoo. I’m not too happy with the derma e face scrub since I don’t have acne and was up with this candlenut body cream?! Has anyone tried it? I don’t need body creams ? I guess I like three products out of the five so meh. Most likely I will end up cancelling this sub and just stick to Ipsy, although Ipsy doesn’t have many makeup choices for sept. glam bag… Was up with that!! Beauty boxes and bags with not many makeup choices?! Holy ?

Britt?

This is the 1st month in probably 8 months, I decided to risk it & not pick the curated box. What a HUGE mistake! I’m not happy AT ALL! BTW~ I didn’t even get my box in June! I contacted CS & they responded with “Sorry, we’re all out of boxes, so we won’t charge you for July..” I’ve never had that happen, let alone giving no replacement/points as a obligatory gesture. This was also the month that I added the new Benefit Brow Product, at full price. I’ll give it to them, they sent out a replacement for that. BUT, I waited nearly 5 weeks for it & honestly could’ve bought it from Sephora the day it was released, since it’s 6 min from my house! I was so jealous hearing everyone rave about the new Benefit brow products, as I sat & waited for something I paid for over 5 weeks! UGH

Opps! Sorry about the BB rant.? Back to my box: (7 items)
~Milk Makeup Highlighter
~Kiehl’s Clearly Corrective™ Dark Spot Solution
~dr. brandt® pores no more® cleanser
~COOLA® Mineral Face SPF 30 Unscented Matte Tint
~Davines Natural-Tech Hair Filler
~Davines Natural Tech Shampoo
~Davines Natural Tech Conditioner

Seriously though Birchbox… YOU”RE REALLY ALL OUT OF BOXES?????? lol!? Just put together any kind of box!?! xo.??

I’m getting the same box, but it sounds great to me. I’m looking forward to trying the Kiehl’s product to see if it helps with some old teenage acne scars. I also got the Davine’s hair samples last month and loved them so I hope I like this formula too. I’m going to buy either last months set (your hair assistant prep products) or this months (natural tech) set depending on which ones I like best. My hair is really long, and pretty thin so I should choose the one with the most volume. Does anybody know which one would make my hair the fullest? I could see somebody being disappointed with my last two boxes if they didn’t like the Davine’s product’s each box has had three of them.

Don’t think I’ve seen my box combo here yet … seems like lots of variety this time for boxes! I did not do a sample pick, and here’s what I am getting:
* Privai Nourishing Face & Body Oil
*Milk Makeup Highlighter
*Benefit They’re Real! Tinted Lash Primer
*Three items from Davines Naturaltech – Replumping Hair Filler, shampoo and conditioner
*Dr. Brandt Pores No More Cleanser

Nice to have seven items (though I’m sure 1-2 will be foil packets), and excited to try everything! Anyone else getting this box too?

Hopefully all you 6/7 product people will actually get 6/7 products. Once one of my boxes said that I was going to get 6 samples but I only got 5.

Good Luck!

I really love my box they chose for me this month. I especially can’t wait to try the Milk lip and cheek product! Does anyone know about the actual box? It’s really pretty but when I go to my app it shows a different one for September and it’s kind of ugly! I hope I get the pretty box!

I’m a little nervous about the Helmut – I’m really sensitive to fragrances, and this one has mixed reviews. Happy I’m getting the Milk Lip & Cheek stain.

I’m not in love with either of my boxes. I get three but the third isn’t showing. I really can’t complain though cos I got these two for free this month plus two delux samples.

– Milk Highlighter
– Bioderma Sébium H20
– Elizabeth Motts It’s So Big Mascara
– R+CO ANALOG Cleasing Foam Conditioner
– Derma Microdermabrasion Scrub

– Milk Mascara
– LOC Ultra Gloss Lip Trio
– Air Repair Moisturizer
– Klorane Dry Sampoo w/Nettle
– Dr. Brandt Pores No More

I’m happy about the Bioderma water, the highlighter and Dr. Brandt. I guess I’m okay with the lip trio IF it’s actually a trio but the rest I’m not happy about. Especially the dry shampoo! I have too many. I really hope my third box is better.

I wish I’d gotten the Briogeo conditioner and thermal spring water. If anyone wants to swap I have boxes and boxes of samples!

If you order three boxes how do you avoid getting duplicate products, or does that happen from time to time? I’m curious because I’m thinking of ordering another BB or Ipsy sub because they are so cheap I just worry I will get tons of duplicates. I was also thinking of trying Glossy Box does anyone like that box, or is there a better box in your opinion? I get BB, Ipsy, Sephora, and Boxy Charm and so far so good, but because I’m still pretty new to subs I’m looking for advice on which boxes are the ones people like best. I would be interested in trying some more expensive ones if anybody has good recommendations, but so far from what I saw the more expensive ones, have jewelry and accessories that I don’t wear much. I appreciate any feedback it looks like you all have a lot of experience with different boxes.

Glossybox was my fist sub, and when I signed up I got August plus two past boxes free. Then they had the buy Aug, Sep, Oct and get the “Full of love” box (Mother’s day) and one previous box. So in the past 3 weeks I have got 6 GB’s. I have two May, 2 August, one December and the Mother’s day box.

Overall I am impressed with sample sizes, VERY generous and the quality of the products. The boxes themselves are pretty (different shades of pink) with a nice card describing everything and the products are wrapped in tissue paper. The GB is boxed within another box and so the items are very well protected unlike my Beautyfix box that I got today that was smashed on one corner and the items were packed only in the outer box (all items were miraculously undamaged). I have 2 more months of GB coming, September (which I can’t wait for as the box is gorgeous) and October. After those two I will then decide if I stick with GB or try another sub (too many to choose from and a limited budget).

Kacey

I got the same box as your first box. I was a little irritated to see another mascara, but oh well. Also kinda curios about the cleansing conditioner. Seems like a weird concept! The rest looks great though!

Your first box is the same as mine! 🙂 I got it today! I chose the Milk highlighter, and it’s beautiful and smells sweet! I’m SO excited about the E Mott mascara (not that I need any, but I have wanted to try this!). The foaming conditioner sounds very intriguing. I have to be careful what I put on my very fine hair, and this his silicone in it which messes with my hair, but I am going to try it. I’m excited about the DermaE, but mine was open and looks used. *Please tell me if yours was sealed*. Thank you. 🙂 I am less than thrilled about the Bioderma water because it is just for one use. I will enjoy it anyway. :>

More shampoo and body wash and perfume for me. I’m definitely canceling BB in 2 more months after being a loyal long-time subscriber. I’m glad most of you are happy with your boxes!!

I am getting 7 products this month, after 2 1/2 years that has never happened.
Vera Bradley Vanilla Sea Salt Body Lotion
Vera Bradley Vanilla Sea Salt Perfume
Beauty Protector Protect and Blonde Shampoo
Oribe Cote de Azure Replenishing Body Wash
Dr Jarts Water Drop Moisturizer
Milk Highlighter
Balance Me Eye Cream
I am happy with the brands and products for $10!

Jen

I am receiving the exact same box & thrilled! 7 products is great!

Dee

Happier with this box than any I’ve gotten in a long time. Still thinking I’ll cancel after my year is up, but at least I’ll use most of these:

– Milk Ubame Mascara (my choice)
– The Body Shop drops of youth
– Beautiful Nutrition Lemon Rinse
– Klorane Waterproof Eye Makeup Remover
– Avene Spring Water

I love beauty oils so I’m excited for the Body Shop, the lemon rinse is a cool different kind of hair product that I’m interested to try, and I can always use makeup remover and water sprays (even if i would never pay for just canned water 😛 )

Reply ButtonReply

Marie

Oh, I’m jealous! I love BS drops of youth, I didn’t even realize BB gave it out as a sample. I have oily skin that is prone to blemishes and I loved that since it didn’t break my skin out and made it feel really soft. I used to have to buy a ton of it on black friday because otherwise its totally out of my price range

Reply ButtonReply

Carolann

I’m getting the same box! I am not so happy about the Drops of Youth oil (as I have oily skin). The Avene water (and any water sprays) I’ve always found weird. Again, I have oily skin and can produce the “dewy” look on my own. I am really excited for the Lemon Rinse and Klorane Eye Makeup Remover. I have recently ventured into beauty boxes and regular makeup-wearing and don’t yet have an eye makeup remover.

Reply ButtonReply

Melissa

Id love the water if you’re not into it!

Dee

Certain beauty oils can actually help with oily skin – I forget the exact science behind it but by adding moisture to your skin, your skin doesn’t feel the need to produce extra oil or something? I would say you could certainly try it and see.

Amber M

I will be getting:
Milk Makeup Highlighter (sample choice)
Balance Me Tinted Wonder Eye Cream-supposed to help dark circles YAY!!
Davines MOMO Conditioner-probably foil but I love this brand and this is new to me
Davines MOMO Shampoo-excited to try this as well
TOCCA Florence Perfume-I have to be close to my max on perfume samples not a win
NUXE Facial Cleansing and Makeup Remover Gel-gets good reviews so I’m excited to try
Overall I’m actually pretty happy with this box. Other than the perfume sample because I actually already have that. Maybe from Sephora? There isn’t any SPF product, and it feels more personalized to my profile for once.

AC

I really hate my box. I’m getting:
-Tokyomilk Light Transformation perfume
-Briogeo Deep Conditioning mask
-Milk Lip and Cheek
-Klorane Makeup Remover (I got one of these MONTHS ago and I’ve never used it)
-Derma e Microdermabrasion scrub

I’m even more annoyed that some people are getting 6 or 7 samples, while one of my 5 is wasted on a perfume sample. This is my last box. I’m going to switch to something K-beauty

Same box, also not happy.

I will be getting same box as you. I’ve received 3 of the items in previous BB or other boxes and getting a perfume which I hate to receive. So only item I will try is the Milk product. Only 3 more months until my year long subscription is done and I’m cancelling. Jealous that others are getting better boxes with 6 or more samples.

I have been hoping for eye makeup remover or micellar water in at least ONE of my subscriptions for months. I never get it:( I guess I have to go buy some. Lol

I got the Bioderma micellar type water and was expecting at least a little bottle… until it arrived as a single use packet. 🙁

Oh Amanda, I’ve been there. It’s horrible to get a box you don’t like, especially when you still have a week or two waiting for it to arrive.

my box is terrible, it is making me question why I resubbed to BB after getting fed up with their quality years ago.
milk highlighter – my pick
LOC lip pencil
R + Co analog conditioner – I received R + Co last month, but I actually like their products
Bioderma water
Avene water

seems overkill to have 2 beauty waters in one box

Mine arrived today-the Bioderma cleansing water is a single use packet. 🙁 I’ve gotten that Avene water before, and it is just water. It just feels good on a hot day.

My box is actually really exciting as well! I have 7 products in it. I’m sure one or two of them is a foil packet, but still! I’m hoping Birchbox wins my heart back… I was an annual subscriber this year and I’m still back and forth about whether I’ll sign up again after my year is up!
