Just a few things this morning:
~Birchbox: March Birchboxes are up! I am getting Box #8 this month and am pretty darn excited about it! It seems like I got a lot of the products from the spoiler video, so that is always exciting. If aren’t sure which box you are getting, log into your account, select “Boxes”, then “Women’s Box”. Scroll down to the Box History section, select “March 2014” and then look in the URL to see what number you are getting. Mine says “march-2014-bb8” meaning I am getting Box #8. You can change that number at the end to check out other Birchboxes from this month as well.
~GLOSSYBOX: GLOSSYBOX has released a spoiler for their March box! Everyone will receive one of three Alex and Ani products. Either the Hand Cream, the Bar Soap or the Body Mist. And if you are a new subscriber and want in on this, don’t forget to use the code “GBFRESH” to receive a complimentary Fresh Lotus Youth Preserve Face Cream with your subscription!
~ipsy: ipsy bags are also up and I am kind of meh on mine this month (I think I am just sad I didn’t get the Pacifica Body Butter). Of course that may all change when I get the bag. If you aren’t sure how to see what’s in your bag, go to your account and click on “My Glam Room”. If you want to see other bag options, there is a link to click to see what some of the other products this month were.
~Julep: Julep has announced three (well four) new Mystery Boxes! The Lucky Mystery Boxes are $24.99/each and are packed with $100 or more in product. You can opt for the Lucky Mystery Box with Aislinn (Boho Glam), the Lucky Mystery Box with Shannon (It Girl) or the Lucky Mystery Box with Taryn (It Girl). Or you can go for the all out Mystery Box and be totally surprised! I was really happy with my Cupid’s Mystery Box from last time, so I may just go for this one!
What’s coming in your Birchbox and / or ipsy this month? Are you excited about the GLOSSYBOX spoiler (I totally am) and are you picking up a Julep Mystery Box? What else is going on today that I’ve missed?
ah, so much anticipation..nice!
I know! This is always a fun week!
I got 3 of the 4 mystery boxes plus both add ons and expedited shipping since I’m half Irish I need more green polish in my life and I hate waiting for mystery. Odds to arrive lol. It would be insanely awesome if I won the ipad mini too. I don’t do well when I have a break in boxes I miss mail even though my popsugar comes today lol I won’t get it till tonight since I’m at work with my mom and then Dr’s appointment with the surgeon and my mom is taking me to dinner since I don’t get out much. So I have a busy busy afternoon
Yay!!!!! I am so excited for you! How are you feeling?
The muscles are still sore but the bruise is now only a tiny mark on my eyelid. It’s also getting itchy which is bugging me cause I’m not supposed to rub my eye. I’m excited to see what the dr thinks and also to find out if the surprise one of the girls from BLE asked for my address to send me is there today which I hope it is cause I’m so excited to find out what she sent and soooo touched that she did this. Can’t believe it’ll be 2 weeks post op tomorrow!
That’s so awesome!
So I got tracking last night for my julep mystery boxes and glitter removal kit (2 separate orders) and this is the first time I’ve had listed $100 insurance and signature required wondering if that possibly means I won the ipad mini. I will go crazy with excitement if I did!
Ohh that would be so exciting!!!
Alyssa,
Would you be kind enough to post spoilers for the Lucky Mystery boxes (and add-ons) once you receive them? That is great that you got expedited shipping, since it takes ages when Julep uses DHL!
Thanks
I got box 54 for birchbox. I’m not one to complain about what I get in my boxes but I absolutely hate this one. A punishment box indeed. I already received the curl keeper and hated it. I also got tea AND chocolate. Feeling meh about ipsy too, at least that one is way better compared to birchbox.
Oh no! I hope next month is better!!!!
Looking at my IPSY I am getting the bare minerals Moxie Lipstick (meh don’t care for lip stick) Nicole OPI Roughles polish (love polish) Pacifica Body Butter (love too) and be a bombshell Bora Bora Quad. The bag is kind of different- maybe I will like it maybe not…it’s not like I NEED another bag- but I use them for gifts. Cool about the Glossybox- I hope to get my Popsugar box today. Maybe tomorrow.
I thought about getting the Julep since I skip this months monthly- on the fence. Not like I NEED more polish either. But they sure are cute. I like the one with Taryn? Or maybe just to total mystery one..who knows I’ll probably cave in and get it- ugh-
Ohh, your ipsy sounds great!! Except for the lipstick, but the polish and the body butter are awesome!!!
The Julep Mystery box looks really cute. I just checked what I’m receiving from Birchbox and I’m not really excited. A product for curly hair – which I don’t have and more Super Goop, which I don’t care for at all. However it did include “Juliette Has a Gun Not a Perfume” and that looked interesting. I was hoping for something a bit more interesting…
That’s odd about the curly hair stuff!!!
For Birchbox, I got box #3. I surprisingly got my box on Saturday. Was not expecting that at all. I liked everything in my box this month! I am loving the perfume!
I will most likely get one of the Julep mystery boxes. I can’t seem to turn those down.
I’m also expecting Popsugar (hopefully today!) and MyIrelandBox this week.
I caved and got a Julep box two seconds after I wrote this post!
I was kinda meh on my ipsy as well, I hope to never receive another eyeshadow again (I got the other pallette offered, not the one you got). Also, why only 4 items this month? We’ve been getting 5 for so long now…BOO.
The last few months have been so good to me. I guess it was time.
My Birchbox hasn’t posted yet. 🙁 But it looks like we’re Ipsy bag twins. I’m pretty excited about mine. The body butter would have been nice like you said, but at least they didn’t give me that self tanner!
And no false lashes this month!!!
I’m getting Box #4. COOLA Tinted Matte SPF 30 for Face, Beauty Protector Protect & Detangle, Air Repair Rescue Balm All-Purpose Skin Salve & Lip Balm, the Balm cosmetics How ‘Bout Them Apples?, & Jergens BB Body Perfecting Skin Cream (from BB Finds). Not too bad! Hoping to get my box on Wednesday or Thursday! Plus I’m hoping my Love With Food box ships today!
That sounds like a good box!!
Oh man, I am so excited for myIpsy to come! I’m recieving the body butter, lipstick, nail polish and the bora bora eyeshadow quad. I’m excited for everything but the lipstick. I’m just not a fan. I’d take lip gloss or tinted lip balm over lipstick anyday! I recieved my birchbox yesterday. It was pretty meh. Wasnt so happy for the tea flavored mints and the chocolate.
Ahh, yours sounds like a great one!!!!!
We are getting the same ipsy bag too. Not sure how I feel about this one yet but my birch box seems awesome except for the eye liner. I am getting eyeliner in both this month and I honestly seem to get eye liner every month. There is no way I can ever use it all!
Same! I just cannot use it up that quickly!
According to Alex & Ani – all subscribers will get a surprise bangle as well!

OMG best news ever!
Ah exciting!
I’m getting Birchbox #67 this month – the Gilchrist & Soames lotion the Balm cream blush, Jurlique Eye Cream, Jurlique Night Cream, Curl Keeper and the Ghiradelli.
I’m really excited about the blush and the Jurlique. The only thing that could’ve made me happier was NOT getting the curl keeper – ugh, gel? yuck. I’ll for sure use the lotion (this winter has been so cold/dry!) and I’m sure whoever gets my chocolate will be happy… so not a bad month for me! I really want that Inika eye liner!
That sounds like a pretty good box!
I got the same Ipsy bag as you, and I think it is geared more towards teens. I am happy with the NYX palette and the bare minerals lipstick and feel like those are worth the $10 I paid this month. I also LOVE my birchbox this month. I got box #5 So excited!!!
I need to go look at #5!
The Pixi primer in your Ipsy is nice. That was one of my “hoped fors.”
I was surprised by my bag, was hoping for Bora Bora and got it, Pacifica, got it, gloss, got it, and I ended up w the eyeliner.
Strange and sad that it’s only 4 products this month, but I can’t complain for 10$. By the time the holidays/birthdays roll around, I usually have a nice gift pile for the ladies in my life.
That’s a pretty good bag!!
I’m also BB#8! I’m excited about it too. COOLA is starting to grow on me, thanks Birchbox!
It’s looking like a good one!
i’m getting the exact same ipsy and was also a bit meh, although all i would have really preferred was bb cream instead of pixie. all the others ARE things i would have chosen. i think it’s that the bag is hideous and that there are only 4 items, when we’ve been getting 5. but i don’t have blue eyeliner and i LOVE the lipstick. i used to have a ton of lip stuff, lately it’s eyeshadow. stila pop sugar luxury made it so i don’t need shadow ever, then i got some in fabfitfun and now more… but that’s ok. they look like the nakeds colors so that’s always good, and they will probably go great with the blue liner. but i love ipsy.
I would have picked the nail polish and the pacifica. And the lip gloss. Not sure what else. The past few months have been really good to me though, so I can’t complain!
Sigh. I totally broke down and bought a Lucky Mystery Box with Shannon. I mean, c’mon! And I’ll probably get dupes. Wah wah.
Your hands were tied. You had no choice. It was a box meant for you.
I have never tried Julep nail polishes. Is the quality consistent? Or are some a bit or miss type thing? I really want a super mystery box because I like to be surprised sometimes 🙂
LOL silly tablet auto correct *hit
I’d say it’s kind of hit or miss. Some are thicker than others. I don’t know I have ever had an issue with a polish being too thin though.
I can’t believe it’s the 10th already! I have BB #30. I’m getting the same Ipsy as you- would’ve liked the Pacifica, but I got one last year so I can’t complain!
I may have gotten one last year too. Maybe??
Aww, I’m kind of jealous of your Ipsy bag because I LOVE indigo blue eyeliner (I have sort of indigo blue eyes) and it’s often hard to find a good one. I’m getting the quad eyeshadow, same lipstick, Opi nail polish and Klorane patches. The only thing I’m halfway excited about is the polish, but normally I love Ipsy.
The last few months have been great to me. I was probably due for a meh bag!
I ordered the Aislinn mystery box. This is my first mystery box. I’m very excited but hoping I don’t get duplicates of polishes I already have. I guess I can always swap them!
I ordered a box too. I couldn’t resist.
I am getting the same Ipsy bag, but I am more excited about it. I do hope that lipstick is a little bit more reddish than the pinky color it shows in the preview photo. The swash color seems more like a color I would actually wear.
Although tempted, I didn’t get a mystery box, mostly because I just ordered 9 bottles through their savvy deals. I might have went a little overboard 🙂
And even though I cancelled Birchbox last month, I gave in and resubscribed after getting their rejoin us email. Mine won’t go out until the 21st though. I have had some pretty amazing results with the Paula’s Choice Resist BHA 9 sample I got a couple months ago, only now getting around to trying it out, and bought a full size. It really did lessen my redness overnight. I was kinda shocked. I have never been into the skin care stuff as much but now that I am nearing 40 I am realizing perhaps I do need those samples after all!!!
I think I prefer Birchbox because of the skincare goodies they send! I have found some great stuff through those samples. ipsy is always worth the $10 though. Always! I don’t know how they do it with those crazy bag values. It’s amazing!
I’m getting the same Birchbox, but seems like an awful lot of lotions to me. Was hoping for chocolate! Am much happier with my Ipsy bag this month, but it seems to go back and forth. Am tempted by the Julep mystery boxes, but have already run out of room on my new polish rack! :0
I am out of room too, but it didn’t stop me. LOL!
I’m getting the same ipsy bag as you. Not my favorite but the products I’m getting I’m happy with. For birchbox I’m getting box #20: coola tinted dog, the balm how about them apples, the body bb cream, Michael Todd tropical fruit scrub, and energizing shampoo. I’m happy with birchbox this month. The only thing that would have made it better is julique rose mask/lotion, caudelie vino lotion or the illume hand cream!
Not sure how spf ended up dog, but spf is what I meant lol
Your Birchbox sounds great! Even with the dog 🙂
I dunno why but I am super let down over IPSY this month. I am just not really feeling anything but the lipstick. I am also disappointed they shorted us one product this month. I guess using my points towards the full size Highbeam will make up for it, but still. I would really love to see some different brands. Bombshell, NYX, Chella, Pixi, Nicole by OPI are all brands they have used before. I really am not a fan of Birchbox, but at least they have a better variety of brands.
I am not in love either. Hopefully next month is amazing.
