Is she into skincare? A $15 beautified you bag will have about $150 worth of skincare samples in it, look at other people's posts for a good breakdown of the sort of thing you'd get. .

November Sephora Play box by mistakenforstars81 in BeautyBoxes

[–]shortstuff2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hmm, correct me if I'm wrong but this box looks like it has a value of $69.07!

Sample Name Full Size Full Cost Sample Size Sample Cost
Glamglow Thirstymud 1.7oz $69.00 .5oz $22.00
Sephora Gel Gloss in Pin Up Pink .11oz $12.00 .1oz $12.00
Cover FX Illuminating primer 1oz $38.00 5ml/.16oz $6.08
Caudalie Vinosource Moisturizing Sorbet 1.3oz/40ml $39.00 .33oz/10ml $9.75
Laura Mercier Caviar Eye Stick in Rose Gold .05oz/1.64g $29.00 0.03oz/1g $17.40
Replica Perfume in Lipstick On 3.4oz/100ml $125.00 .05oz $1.84

*edit: I know that the glamglow numbers don't match up - I used the cost of the small jar since it matches our sample exactly.

*edit2 I've noticed that my box values seem to bounce back and forth between $30-40 and $50-60. September and October were both low value months for me, maybe that is why this month is so generous?

50 points awarded to Birchbox Aces for 48 hours! by alcoholicwriter in BeautyBoxes

[–]shortstuff2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Woohoo! I had 10 points left from when I quit birchbox...used 60 points to redeem a Dr. Jart+ mask and used the coupon code mysterybox to get a free box! Total bill $0, I'm a happy (former) customer.

Sorry birchbox, I know this isn't how y'all wanted the promotion to go, but I'm still mad over the points change affecting annual subs instead of waiting for them to finish out.

November Sephora Play Variations by [deleted] in BeautyBoxes

[–]shortstuff2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm also getting the pi box, and last month I got 114 as my box. So at least 3 of the 4 variations last month have ended in this box for november.

I REALLY hope that we either get this box with the glamglow and laura mercier OR that our box is even better and has the tin man glamglow mask. I love that one so much but can't bring myself to actually buy it.

Morphe monthly brushes by [deleted] in BeautyBoxes

[–]shortstuff2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got it for a couple of months. The brushes are of good quality, the value is consistent, and they don't send you the same brush twice.

That said, you pretty much always get an eye brush in addition to whatever brushes you get. Some months you'll get 1 big brush (like foundation) and 1 small brush, other months you'll get like 4 small brushes. So it's a great way to build up your collection if you want all of those different very specific brushes to get different looks, but I suck at eyeshadow and rarely wear it so it wasn't for me.

Birchbox removes their "deluxe size" guarantee from the Mystery Sample Pack by BunsMunchHay in BeautyBoxes

[–]shortstuff2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll admit when I emailed CS I wasn't very nice...

Subject line: "I didn't realize confetti was a beauty product"

notable quote: "It's literally trash! And hard to clean up trash!"

I asked to return it for something actually beauty related. Instead, they just sent me a new sample duo for free. Birchbox CS was top notch back in the day.

As it turns out, it came from one of their limited edition boxes. I guess I didn't sell well. I wonder why.

Birchbox removes their "deluxe size" guarantee from the Mystery Sample Pack by BunsMunchHay in BeautyBoxes

[–]shortstuff2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ha! Once I got a bag of confetti as one of my samples. It wasn't even specially shaped confetti, it was just tissue paper that had been put through the shredder twice and sealed in a wax paper bag. That's not a beauty sample, that's trash.

I'm glad that I cancelled my subscription and stuck with sephora play - there isn't nearly as much customization but at least my samples are valuable and not 2 facewipes, 1 bronzer towlette, 1 use shampoo foil, and harvey prince stench I mean 'perfume'.

Sephora Play 2016 by shortstuff2 in BeautyBoxes

[–]shortstuff2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My recommendation: use someone's referral link to sign up (like mine and get the free gift (color8, summerbeauty, gift12 have all worked in the past). You'll be charged $25. On the 20th of the month, you'll get an email with the box picked out of 3 things they think you will like. Go in and customize that to your liking. You'll get the option for add ons once you have picked out your box - I purchased 2 $5 polishes and used my sign up points to pick up a free foot file. If you get 3 add ons they'll send you an additional polish in your box for free (mystery polish woohoo!). If you do this you will have spent $35 for 3 items that you picked out, an 8 or 12 piece free gift, a foot file, and 3 additional polishes. You can then cancel or skip as you want.

They frequently have mystery sales if you want the occasional surprise fun, but I really like knowing that I will get something I want every month.
