I got the shaving cream and the nail file, but instead of the other stuff I got the dry shampoo, a CC cream and a sample of a Juicy Couture perfume. The perfume was very floral & very strong, and I wasn't really a fan. The dry shampoo worked--it kept my hair from looking greasy and it smelled great. But I didn't like the way it made my hair feel. BUT...able to make my hair not look like a grease pit? Winner. The CC cream is great, but the smell is not good and to be honest, I don't see much of a difference in it versus the BB cream I already use, so probably won't continue it. The shaving cream? Not a fan...it smells wonderful but it doesn't foam or whatever worth a crap and I don't even feel like I have shaving cream on. I haven't used the nail file yet, but I'm not picky about nail files. All in all, I'm looking forward to next months!<br />Shanna<br />www.flipflopshanna.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09226299219175418676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8075886765344862942.post-90900993061619418542013-03-19T17:51:57.108-04:002013-03-19T17:51:57.108-04:00Probably would have to say Birchbox!

Just because they have an awesome points/loyalty system that has earned me quite a few free products, and I'll take smaller sample sizes of awesome products as opposed to cluttering up my makeup collection with a ton of mediocre products.Lynette Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14286562694053564626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8075886765344862942.post-77072616523814407622013-03-19T15:15:52.477-04:002013-03-19T15:15:52.477-04:00The Ipsy bag looks disappointing.

I recently saw a preview of what I was getting (similar to yours) and it didnt seem to impress me that much, so not very exciting for my first box! I am hoping I get better stuff for next month. But I like how for $10 you get to try new stuff you weren't usually going to try! I was thinking about getting Ipsy but decided to wait to see how I liked Birchbox first. Thanks so much for posting your reviews on these boxes thats SOOO helpful!

I agree that the only redeeming part of the Ipsy was the adorable anchor bag itself! I don't know if you already subscribe, but Glossybox is SOOOO much better than birchbox and ipsy! i mean I love them all, and glossybox is a bit more pricey (like $21/month) but the quality of everything is SO MUCH BETTER and I have yet to been disappointed by them!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8075886765344862942.post-68003315531170138822013-03-18T09:11:20.954-04:002013-03-18T09:11:20.954-04:00My Birchbox was fairly different but not any more ...My Birchbox was fairly different but not any more exciting than yours. The emery board was on the packing list but not in the box so I was disappointed with just lotion samples in those little paper packets, blemish cream, shaving cream and a different primer. <br />I haven't tried the shaving cream yet but I always use conditioner as a substitute. I can use up a bottle I don't really like for my hair or just grab a 99 cent bottle and it works as well as saving cream, for me at least.Jillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17431631131999836506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8075886765344862942.post-23122629758162939252013-03-18T08:18:01.430-04:002013-03-18T08:18:01.430-04:00ugh agreed, i got a similar birchbox and am not pl...ugh agreed, i got a similar birchbox and am not pleased. i'm seriously thinking about un-subscribing bc at this point, i'm just accumulating samples i don't need!<br /><br />-natalie-<br />thesecondbestblog.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15785444916417153441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8075886765344862942.post-74589418142368217412013-03-18T07:48:35.285-04:002013-03-18T07:48:35.285-04:00I got the exact same stuff in my Birchbox!

The eyeshadow looks great against your skin tone, too.<br />Valerie<br />www.the-style-files.comValeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10743095240141715243noreply@blogger.com
