I'm a far cry from being a teen too, but I'm looking forward to the TV Birchbox - I heard that there might be some really good brands aside from Essie, like Peter Thomas Roth, Keratase, Tart and Fresh Sugar.
I'm getting both a TV and a regular Birchbox. This is my 1st month getting two, but I signed up for my 2nd one before I knew about the Teen Vogue boxes and am planning on keeping both subscriptions. I just really love getting my Birchbox in the mail every month, so for and extra 10.00 bucks I figured I would double the fun!
When I first saw my February box online, I was disappointed because I wasnt getting the sponge thing or the Dermatalogica (excuse my spelling please), but after my box arrived, I was really glad I got what I did. I loved almost everything in it! I have purchased or am planning on purchasing every product that came in it. One is the Wei Chinese Rose Cleanser, and I liked that so much I ordered the buffing beads as well. I'm planning on ordering the Orofluido hair oil, and Jouer Luminizing moisturizer, and possibly the bronzer (not sure at this point about that one). Thats just about every product that came in a box that I was initially disappointed in and didnt think I liked! I was totally excited about my January box right from the start, but I didnt end up purchasing any full sizes, so I guess you never know until you try your samples.
I also signed up for Beauty Bar's Sample Society, but for 15.00, I will only keep one subscription for that one. March is my 3rd Birchbox, and I had MyGlam, but really dont like it so I cancelled it and got a 2nd Birchbox instead. Thats all my budget allows for sample services, so 2 Birchboxes a month, and 1 Sample Society a month.
