I loved it! I hadn't been wearing much mascara before I got it in my box because most of them were just thick and made my eyelashes feel gross and heavy, but I really like the consistency of the modelco mascara on my eyelashes. There is something really light about it.

I'm SO obsessed with it. I do agree that theres a "lightness" to this one. It makes my eyelashes look really pretty (longer and thicker) without looking goopy or clumpy or too fake. Yanno? I'm a fan. I would buy more but I do have too many mascara samples to work through first...Whoops.

See, the Color Club and the ChocoPods weren't for me.  I ended up buying the chocopods and only liking one of them.   :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  I was sad about it.

I can say that my boxes have gotten better.  Still super-small samples, but the points keep me coming back.  LOL  

Oh and I make my own sugar lip scrub.  Tablespoon of brown sugar, Tablespoon of honey, and a teaspoon and a half of coconut oil (can use olive oil, but I find it too drippy so maybe reduce the amount.)  I mix it up, put it in a pot and keep it in the fridge.  Take a little bit, rub it on and let it sit for a minute or two...try not to lick...lol  and then wipe it off.  I use mine every other day or so.  Keeps my pucker chap-free.   :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  

 
I've received many things I've loved, others I didn't like and found several other products I loved through trades along the way.  It just goes to show that some things you feel are bad or a 'punishment' may be someone else's holy grail and vice versa.  Keep an open mind, and Viva La Birchbox!

Posts like this just reinforce my happiness over there being SO MANY different types of beauty products out there. A lot of what you loved, I hated. and A lot of what you hated, I loved! lol. We would make a good trade team!

I loved Color Club in Age of Aquarius, Bvlgari perfume, Dr Jart's, Suki Lemon Scrub, Vasanti Brighten Up Cleanser, Kiehls body wash, Choco Pod, Juliette has a gun, and the It's Potent! eye cream!

 
I just give all of the samples that I don't like to my friends and my sister; it always makes them so happy to get them. It's like I'm giving them little presents throughout the year :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 ^^^ I agree. I literally have seminars with every box I get with my mom.  I watch her reaction to some of the stuff I know I wont use and I hand it to her like a giveaway prize to my audience. lol

haha, I still use the BB earbuds all the time. they're perfect to keep in my school bag.

What was Befine-gate? I think the month they sent that cleanser was my first box, but I wasn't on mut then.

The earbuds were meh to me. I prefer headphones with an insane amount of bass.

Befine-gate occured when befine sent birchbox subscribers expired products from a year or two ago.  Thankfully I never used it, but mut members said that it smelled really bad and the texture was icky.  Birchbox sent out a survey asking members for the expiration date of the products and gave us 100 points for the item.  It was a hot mess.

 
I've never sampled Harvey Prince fragrances in my box but was thinking of ordering the set with my 20%. How do people feel about them?
