I received my first birchbox last month and promptly canceled my subscription. I'm thinking about giving it one more month, because I feel like maybe it was just a fluke that my box was so crappy, so we will see. My box was absolutely not worth then ten bucks I spent on it. Literally I could have spent 10 bucks on the sephora website and gotten better samples, plus whatever the full sized product would be that I am buying. I'm going to give it one more month, if they let me reactivate my subscription. Hopefully I won't be burning another 10 dollars. On another hand. I love love love my glossybox. I've been recieving it now for 4 months, and while it is twice the price (20 dollars a month) it's well worth it. I've loved all my boxes so far. Last month alone the products in the box totaled 129 dollars all together and they were all great. Including the bcbgmaxazria perfume which I now love, and will be purchasing when I run out of the rollerball sized "sample" I received. Which won't be for a long while I don't imagine.
