I recieved the Juice Beauty CC cream in the Warm Glow shade and I think I'm in love!  This is suprising to me as I have tried several BB creams and never found one that I liked.  The Warm Glow shade is a perfect match for me.  I'm getting a 2nd sample in my other Birchbox and I hope it's the same shade. I also really like the ModelCo lip gloss.  Its a very pretty soft light pink (I cant read the small print on the bottom for the shade) I like the fruity scent it has, and the texture is nice.  I'm thrilled with the Amika hair mask.  I recieved one in my other account a few months ago, and really like it.  I think I got 2 or 3 uses out of my last sample - once as deep conditioning treatment, and once or twice I just used it in the shower as a regular conditioner.  The Juicey Couture fragrance I'm on the fence about.  I sprayed it on my wrist about an hour ago, and I like it better now more so than when I first applied it.  The fortune cookie was a delicous treat!  I think those cookies could easily become addictive. 

 

I'm looking forward to recieving my 2nd Birchbox now.  The only repeat item is the Juice Beauty CC cream, and I'm really glad to be getting a 2nd sample!

 

THis is my 12th month with Birchbox.  Every few months I recieve a sample of something that I think I'm not going to like, like this months Juice beauty CC cream, then I try it, and and pleasantly surprised.  I have discovered quite a few of my HG products thanks to Birchbox!

ooh! We are box twins! I'm so pumped about the CC cream- Juice is my new fave brand and I haven't found a BB cream I like and I know they are supposed to be better for your skin so I'm excited to try. I just bought their regimen and they sent me their foundation and tinted moisturizer for free- I'm not sold on it yet but I've never tried organic makeup before so I'm working hard to get used to it- my skin feels amazing when I wash it off but I have very dry skin and somehow it makes me look shiny! I just recently decided to go completely sulfate and paraben free (well after I use up/give away/trade my existing products) and if you're into that you'll be as excited as I was to know everything in our box is safe! I'm hoping to get the red shade of the gloss in my box since I have a ton of glosses similar to the other colors already and red would be fun to play with but I lose glosses all the time so I'll like it either way!

I got box 12. My gut reaction wasn't too positive but after reading a bit about the products I psyched myself up a bit.

Whoo box 18! :)

Not too bad, but would have preferred getting something other than a $5 nail file. 

Ugh why wont my page update :( I want to know what I am getting, I also have a tracking # but it does not work

This is the first Juice Beauty product I have tried, and I'm really happy with it.  I hope you like it as much as I do!  I have it on now (its been about 4 or 5 hours) and my face doesnt look shiney at all.  I've heard good things about their skincare regimen and would like to try that as well.

I didnt realize everything in our box is safe.  Thank you for pointing that out!  Its good to know!

Box 14 here! Out of all the boxes, it's one that I really wanted to get! Super excited about the full size gloss (I'm a goo hoarder - Jenna Marbles, anyone?) and the Juliette fragrance. Yaaaay! And I should be getting it in the mail on Friday.

I'm obsessed with Juice- I should give up on school and go into sales for them haha! They sell their regimens in 30 day supply kits that are a great way to try them out! They are doing a "12 days of beauty" right now with a new promotion everyday- if you follow them on fb they are posting each promotion!

I'm getting Box 4

Thanks! I actually decided to be good and not get anything other than the $12 Benefit skin care sampler I originally wanted... probably because I'm planning on a Sephora trip tomorrow haha.

Alright Box 17, I actually haven't looked through the boxes to decide wether or not this is my ideal box, but it seems to be a fairly good mix, and thats all we can ask for right?

Juicy Couture Fragrance: I have this in a full size, I really like it :) 

Mox Lip Butter: got this in my other account's box last month. Like it a lot!

No. 4 Clarifying Shampoo: I travel a lot. Have 3-4 separate trips planned in Dec-Feb LOVE Shampoo (and Conditioner) samples, I pretty much exclusively travel with sample box samples now!

The Balm Hot Mama: always excited to try a new makeup products!

Tweezerman FileMate: love my nail accessories. Generally I cut my nails when they need to be filed ( I have "flakey" nails, so they always look better short) But This is so darn cute I'll keep it in my bag for touch-ups.

And my older account has no preview yet! so sad.. but the box page is loading slowly, so hopefully that means its in transition.

So the folks who got this box:

i know i'm not the only one who's a bit bummed that we can't give feedback on the lifestyle item... right? :(

Wait, you know what you're getting, but you're the last to know? I don't know what I'm getting yet. My info still hasn't updated. I don't see how it's unfair, though.

my bad. i was typing too fast. i am fearing that i will get the dreaded box 20, since i've been getting the dreaded boxes since october. i don't know what i'm getting nor is my tracking working yet. it's unfair to me if we're billed at the same time and all of our box info isn't uploaded at the same time.

Oh, okay. I get it now. I wasn't officially billed until the 5th, so I was expecting a delay.

Yep, still nada for me.  BB's customer service number got posted on their FB page today so if I still have nothing on the site or my email tomorrow I'm gonna give 'em a call.

oh ok. maybe that's why your info is a little slow too. i opened up a second sub last week and it's supposed to ship on the 14th. i'm patient with the info on that account and at least the little truck is showing up in my account info (no tracking number yet)

the last time i heard that we couldn't leave feedback on something was for those gossip girl postcards back in may...

Still waiting for my box page to update so I know what box I'm getting - hoping to sample a Chuau Chocopod, yum! Chuau is actually based in this area and I've driven by one of their retail stores before but have never actually went in lol. I'll definitely be stopping by there soon either way because everyone's varieties sound delish!

It's quite possible that it just hasn't been added to the store yet. There seem to be other items still missing, like the Aerie perfume.

Woo. Used the RTR10 To Preorder Fine One One (its nice to see a super new product!) and got Zoya Remove (best nail polish remover ever, just about done with the bottle I got in my first ever Birchbox order like 16 months ago :P) and The No 4 Mask Pick two Sample Pack. (seems like it will go with the No 4 Shampoo I'm getting in a box this month well)

29.99 used 300 points perfectly! 

Thanks to the people who posted that code :) 

Box 26 here! 

I am really excited to try the frownies... I am an old woman!

I thought I replied to this but I'm on my phone and it didn't show up so I'm sorry if this is a repeat but I didn't want you to miss out! Juice is having a "12 days of beauty" promotion if you like them on facebook they are having a new sale every day! They have great kits that are a month's supply of a regimen so you can see how it works for your skin before buying! I grabbed the organics to go kit because I sampled the cleansing milk at ulta and loved it and decided it would be fun to try and I saw such a difference in my skin in just a few days I invested! haha I sound like I should work for them but I saw such a great turn around I can't stop gushing!
