Oh Birchbox. Trying so hard to win people back. I was almost tempted and then I noticed these were all sample sizes. In a world where $21 a month gets me $150 worth of full sized products from BoxyCharm, BirchBox has to seriously step up their game.

I saw a $178 value listed elsewhere for this box, which isn’t far fetched at all based on this and the fact that the trinket trays on the Draper James website are $28 and $32 based on size.

The $178 value listed elsewhere isn’t too far fetched. I looked up a Draper James Bag on there and they sell for around $40. Too bad it isn’t a tote bag. Those sell for around $110!!!

No way am I paying 58.00 that’s way too much! I would pay 25.00 but otherwise it’s a no go!

I agree a 25$ box. Tiny samples nearly empty can’t even use the oui product because I have long hair and could only do a small portion. I agree on the Sunday Riley product but this is too expensive I have bought all the limited edition boxes but these past last ones I have passed up on. I wish they would at least do travel size products. I’m with you guys on how many mascaras can we possibly get!

This literally made me LOL. This collection of stuff looks like the cart the Marshall’s or TJ Maxx a staffer pushes to the back room after cleaning up the clearance section from random stuff that has fallen out of boxes or been trashed.

Way too expensive. I think they could do much better for a limited edition box. I swear if I get another mascara from anyone I will lose my mind! How much mascara can one person use. I have a whole make-up bag full of them!

LOL…I say the same thing! Mascara must be something cheaper for the boxes to acquire.

I love this!! I’m a big fan of Lipstick Queen, Sunday Riley, Living Proof, and Porefessional. I’m assuming that those cover the cost of the box (the lipstick alone costs $22, and I love Lipstick Queen enough to pay full price for it), and then it also comes with hair ties, which I always need, and a $7 sheet mask. Mascara, tray and hair mask would make a cute gift, especially if I put them in that pouch. Then again that pouch looks like a nice big size so I might want to keep it for myself. Hopefully there is a coupon to bring down the price a bit.

$58 is too high for this box of small samples

I like it, but I don’t love it. Some of those products I really want to try, but I don’t like the lifestyle item. Maybe if it goes on sale.

I love the box itself and it sounds good, but not for $58. Agree with the others looks more like a $35 box.

I have points saved and I am going for this box on the 6th. The prices on Draper James is a little pricey for the items you get, so I would rather do this.

$58? That is way over-priced, especially for those tiny samples. I can’t even figure out what the theme is. I think somewhere in the ~ $35 price range would be more appropriate.

I am a little interested, but not at that price………
The box itself is really pretty though!

Easy pass! Way too expensive!! Only really interesting thing to me is the Sunday Riley. Too high priced.

$58??? Who are they kidding with this crap? Two years ago BB limited edition boxes were the bees knees and now it’s a bunch of tiny samples and some kind of glass dish (at this point I’m sure we all have more than enough of those thanks to sub boxes!).
A very easy pass!

Draper James is Reese Witherspoon’s lifestyle brand. They are collaborating on the next monthly curated Birchbox box which also has the Benefit Porefessional.

Reese Witherspoon owns the company. They do have adorable southern style items.

Booo. I have been waiting for new limited edition boxes and this one disappoints. The only thing that interests me here is the Sunday Riley toner. This box is not worth $58.

Sorry to sound like a brat, but for $58 this box does not look exciting. My choice will be for Target box.
