Holy wow am I glad I decided to stay one more month. This is what my Birchbox is going to have in it this month. As far as I can tell, the Dr. Brandt kit sample is the Pores No More primer, which I love. And I really can't see anything on here that isn't worth a try. I'm super excited for the first time since starting!

This is mine this month. It actually showed up two days ago, before I could even see the sneak peak! Being on the west coast, that was a shock. From the sneak peak I think I would have been super excited but the actual box was less exciting. The shower gel came in little packets like condiments. What's that about?

Yay! I'm pretty psyched for mine! The body wash in foils is a dumb idea, but I don't really care all that much. I'm getting the face peel (woo!), the Coastal Scents (was hoping for this!), and the shave cream. I'm still hoping I'll get that shave cream sometime! The under eye cream would be great to try too. Nice box!

My box is decent, but I admit I am disappointed that I did not get the nail polish. I just watched the sneak peek a few days ago, and it said everyone would get the polish or the gloss. As I have already received the gloss, I thought I was a shoe in for the polish. Granted, I never received thus was unable to respond to the alleged email they sent for us to make selections. I have the same box as Kittichick, except I received the shaving cream in the past. It gives me a really close shave, but I hate the smell.

Hopefully, you post a picture when it comes in, so we can see how awesome it is that you're getting a whole Dr Brandt kit as one product. Did you receive an email and select the polish?

I will absolutely post a picture when I get this box. I'll probably be doing a blog review as well. ☺ I did get the email about the nail polish! I chose the rose gold color, since I don't have anything like it yet.

Here's my July Birchbox! I really like everything in it. The lip crayon is very sheer and looks super pretty on, the detangling spray is sooooooo nice, but the smell is a little strong, the peel was cool and I definitely felt like my skin looked brighter after using it! I haven't tried out the nail polish or the nail polish remover yet on me, but I did swatch it and it's gorgeous. I'm already a fan of Pores No More, so I'm really glad to have another bottle when I run out of my current one. Oh, and they sent a card for a free year subscription to Women's Health, which is a nice little bonus.

The nail polish you selected is so pretty too. Hopefully, the brand is quality nail polish. I know it is mid range in price, so I hope that helps. I am excited about the subscription to Women's Health.

I just got the email to preview the items for selection this month. Is a different email sent to actually select a product? I do not want to miss my chance this month as they sent me nothing from the selection possibilities last month.

I do not want to miss my chance this month as they sent me nothing from the selection possibilities last month. It will be a different email. It looks like we'll have choices of completely different products this time instead of just the shades! An eyeliner, a bronzer, a stain, and a cream eyeshadow. I normally hate watching videos but I watched this one and I'm definitely hoping for that email.

I don't use stains and I have tons of eyeliner I have yet to try, so that narrowed it down a lot for me.

It sort of depends on what you like, I think. I love that it has a great variety: makeup, skincare, nails, fragrance, bath & body. I usually love at least one product and like most of the rest, and it always comes above the $10 value. My favorite part about it is the points system. I know I'm getting my money's worth from them. And out of the 8 months I've subscribed I've only gotten about 3 products I hated enough to not use.

Birchbox is my favorite of all five boxes I have. Sample Society, Ipsy, Julep and Glossybox are the others. Glossybox canceled me, so my next box will be my last. I want to get rid of Julep at the end of the year. Then, I need to decide between Ipsy and Sample Society which box I want to cancel to get down to 2. Birchbox has the same $10 price tag as Ipsy, but I find it far better since Ipsy started branching out from mostly makeup. I can handle cheap makeup, but I have zero interest in cheap skincare. Birchbox tends to sample better skincare brands.

I just want to get the gem polishes and then I think I'm done (they're going to miss me, I spend way too much with them each month) I cancelled Ipsy after 4 bags because they didn't really listen to what I didn't like - I kept getting the same things I hated.

The gemstone polishes are the reason I am waiting until the end of the year. If I had to pay $14 plus shipping each month, I would probably pass. Paying $11.20 plus free shipping and often having a coupon of some sort makes it seem better. They get way too much money from me too, because I add options to every box. Then, I place orders in between boxes. I decided to add up my totals, since I joined Mid May. Once they charge me for my August box (my 4th box but less than 3 months as a member) my spend will be over $300. I had no clue I spent that much. Good job Julep!
