Pretty good choices for me!  I have three boxes, so I have to decide which one not to pick. 

I love the Liz Earle, but I do have a lot of cleansers right now.  I also don't need hair stuff, but when I got the Davines in my main box, you could review the two bonus foils for points, so I would guess that the Davines boxes will end up being 7 items, and it's a brand I wouldn't mind having more of.  The Shisheido looks interesting and I'm a sucker for skincare stuff, has anyone used it and can comment?  I'm tempted by the macadamia oil, I usually avoid hair oils, since my hair is fine and oils tend to weigh it down, but I've been using a sea salt spray with a bit of hair oil this summer and that's been working well, so I could actually use this,

Choices choices!

Boo, no makeup options for sample choice. I wouldn't mind trying the Liz Earle though.

Yes!  I have been eying that up, and actually put it on my faves list without trying it - before deciding that was silly and taking it off.  Now I can try it!  I hope hope hope I can get it!  =D

My mom got the Shiseido in her August box and loves it. You use it under your current serum and moisturizer. She is going to use her points to get a full size when the sample runs out. It is a nice size sample and you do not need to use a lot. Maybe I should select that and get her an extra one. Hmmmm.

 
Ok, DEFINITELY the Macadamia Oil, and for my other box, I'm undecided.... Either the Shiseido (although I don't really want ANOTHER step in my skincare routine) or the Davines, because I got the huge shampoo/tiny conditioner pack a few months back and I feel like getting the large conditioner/tiny shampoo would kind of "even it out" when I get around to trying out the samples.

Because that's how my crazy mind works! :p /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I'm pretty sure you'd win "Best Daughter Ever" for that! How sweet!

 
I love Davines... I totally bought the all in one milk with my points. I am in love with the stuff! So, I think I might try the Davines Conditioner, it'd be cool if it cut my blow drying time down!!

I just hope they don't have a product where there are only 3 box variations that are similar to each other like the Laura Geller boxes...

 
Either the Davines or Shiseido for me. I have the Love conditioner but it is not the best smelling.

 
I think I'm going to skip the sample selection this month. The only one calling to be is the Macadamia, but I really have plenty of hair oils so I really don't need it. I think I'd rather be surprised!

In other news, I was thinking to myself how much I loved Molly's mauve nail polish and then of course realize it was the Ruffian add-on I was considering. Darn it! I wish you could buy add-ons with points!

 
Those boxes are SO cute! I'm a packaging sucker. That alone almost makes me want to activate another one of my subs. ^_^ /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I also like the Ruffian extra. Love those colors! I'd also love the sweatshirt, but it's not something I'd actually pay for.

The only polish I want from the set is that mauve!  I'll wait until it shows up in the store as a standalone and pick it up with points.  If it doesn't show up, well, I think there's a Zoya in the new neutrals collection that comes very close.  I'll just pick that one up.  Eventually.  Maybe.

 
I like the last shampoo we got from Davines - it smelled really nice and it wasn't a bad shampoo either.  I think I will try this one out.  I hope it comes in the bottle again.  I didn't watch the video as my hubby is watching a pre-season football game.

 
I'm hoping for a fall lip color this month. I got the sheseido last month and I really like it so I'm torn if I should get it again or try something new.

 
Oh my word... I'm so torn. The Liz Earle is tempting even though I have the sample, and the full size (because another cleansing cloth is a good thing) or that hair oil. I have a TON of hair oil, and the Liz Earle....ahhh I want to pick them both!!!

 
I wonder if we pick the Liz Earle if it will count for 2 samples since it has the muslin cloth and the last time they sent those they counted it as a separate sample....

 
I guess I'll go with "surprise me" option this month. The only item that appeals to me is Liz Earle, but I already got that with Build Your Own Birchbox at the store (didn't try it yet)

I'm somewhat tempted by Ruffian ad-on, polish colors are so pretty! But I'm annoyed that they included polish remover towlettes in the ad-on.

I don't think so. as I mentioned I got this sample as part of BYOB, and cleanser and cloth counted as one sample. I got it mainly because I wanted the cloths. lol

I am all about that Liz Earle life. I love that we can choose a sample again! Nothing else even tempted me in comparison. My 2nd account will be a surprise. Feeling pretty good about this month!

But seriously... I need to slow my roll because we are still 2+ weeks away from even receiving boxes haha.

Going to get the Macadamia Oil too! I never tried anything from that brand, and the other items just do not interest me. I got the same sample, Davines big shampoo bottle, foil packet of conditioner and leave-in. I liked the shampoo but did not think that the conditioner was anything fantastic. I'm not sure if the one they are putting in the YPYS is the same one I got though. THe leave-in though smelt like burnt rubber or plastic to me, not so pleasent at all! :(I get what you mean my "even it out" though! :D /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
