I got my box and I am missing the conditioner bonus... lol

I guess I will be emailing BB!

That was one of the reasons I decided to just go with one box this month. If I sent Birchbox a photo of a Barbie doll sitting at her vanity table, inside her dreamhouse, with a tiny Lorde and Berry eyeliner, microscopic tube of Jane Iredale lipstain and an itty bitty The Balm bronzer, perhaps they might take the hint about small unusable samples.

I say Go For It!

I got mine today too and was also missing the conditioner! The whole reason I picked the davines was to get both! I emailed but haven't heard anything yet.

What colors are the eyeshadow duo?

I think your box looks like a great box, the Acure items are really nice, I've never had one that I didn't really like.

It's not necessarily a bad box, its more that there's a lack of variety with the 2 face washes and I'm disappointed that the eyeshadow, which is something I love getting, is a bad color for me. On the bright side, it's an 80 point box once I share on Facebook.

Here's a picture of the eyeshadow.

Got my main account box. I can't get the picture to work. I'm swapping most of the box. 

Keeping:

  • Davines Shampoo (PYS)
  • Davines bonus Conditioner foil
  • Malin + Goetz cleanser
Swapping

  • Pop eyeshadow in Sugar Plum (just not my style...there was a reason this was not my PYS)
  • Malin + Goetz moisturizer foil (we have the normal sized sample, and haven't even used half of it)
  • English Laundry perfume (ew, perfume)
  • Juice Beauty Apple Peel (I'd like to try, but the products I got from this brand in my Birchbox back in 2012 broke me out...not willing to risk it)
I just about broke even on the cost of the box. Hopefully, I can swap for some things. My 2nd account box was worth a lot more to me as far as usefulness goes.

The Davines all-in-one milk spray is incredible. My daughter has very tangle prone hair, and trying to brush it is always a fight, with LOTS of tears (and yes, we use a tangle brush). I sprayed it on her hair, and seriously, I WILL be buying more of this--tangles were immediately tamed, and it was so easy to slide a brush through her hair! I used it on myself, and my normally frizz-poof hair is very sleek. I didn't even have to put serum in it! I told my hairdresser about it, and he said as long as I clarify every so often to get rid of the build up, keep using it! YAY! 

 
Two boxes I got today. This is my main account and it was supposed to have the brow pencil :( but the concealer pencil is pretty nice.

also picked up an extra box this month

It's ok, even with the overlap in products.

I LOVE your first box!  I never get the davines sea salt spray :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  And the happy buddha!

 
I also got the Japonesque Velvet Duo in 9.  They aren't good colors for me separately, but when I layered the green on top of the taupe, it was much better.

 
I ended up getting the POP eyeshadow trio in both my boxes even though I picked different samples for both. <_<  On the plus side, it is more pigmented in person than it seemed in the video and I do love purple. I'll likely donate the second one though. Next month I'll be back down to one box so at least I won't have that issue again.

I also got the eye cream in both, but I don't mind, assuming it isn't a terrible product.

 
I know it's kind of early to be asking about this but I saw a post on Instagram saying that October sample choices were mini mascaras. I couldn't find anything on it online though. Anyone know if this could be legit??

if you go to your refer a friend section in BB, it is there - so it looks like mascara

Not that I need another mascara, but in order to avoid They're Real and Well People I will either pick Roller Lash or the Stila mascara.
Which one do you think of picking?

I like (and have) both of the Benefit ones in sample form. I go through mascara super slowly. I may just pick nothing. I would pick the Roller Lash again, but I want my sweet points. 

Roller Lash is great! For a non-waterproof mascara, it lasts really well. Sometimes I go run at the gym before work, and it looks just fine after I'm done. It also comes off easily with pretty much every remover I've used. 

 
I didn't receive my PYS (Anastasia brow pencil) in my box and it wasn't on my box preview. I emailed them and they apologized, said they had extras of the Anastasia pencil sample and will ship me one. 

No sorry points, and no points to review it whenever I receive it.  I don't usually have issues/problems with BB so I've never received sorry points before anyway, but I am kind of annoyed that I don't even get my 10 points to review my PYS.

My box was mostly a bust, I am only happy with the Tocca scrub.  The Model Co lipstick, Caffeine eye cream, Lang perfume, and Furterer hair cream all stink, literally.  I don't usually get bothered by scents, but I really strongly dislike the scents of 4/5 of the very fragrant/smelly products I received in my box.
