Hi Lovies!
Usually we talk Birchbox earlier in the month, but they are of course up to their old tricks of charging you the first week of the month, and not sending until the last week. Rude.
Anywhoo.. this month there was the option to choose the goop box over the normal Birchbox and because I loved the Teen Vogue box so much, I decided to opt in. I should have known better! goop.com is a lifestyle website that was created by Gwyneth Paltrow. This box was filled with their "must-try essentials". Something I noticed about this special box compared to Teen Vogue, was that the goop boxes were all very different, where as the Teen Vogue were pretty much all the same.
one. LUNA Fiber- Chocolate Rasberry bar
I've never been a fan of protein bars and this one sounded gross so I didn't bother trying it.
two. Sprout- Cocoa lip balm
I was excited about this one until I tried it. It only has 5 natural ingredients, but it smells and tastes awful. I'll take a few chemicals if it doesn't smell or taste like dirt.
three. Supergoop!- City Sunscreen Serum
I am on a new skin regimen because my skin is AWFUL right now, so I'm not trying any new products. I will put it aside and try it when my skin calms down though.
four. Caudalie- Vinoperfect Radiance Serum
Again, another facial product that I'm not willing to try right now. I'll probably give it to my mom though, because the full size is $80. No thanks!
five. (MALIN + GOETZ)- Cilantro Hair Conditioner
I haven't had a chance to try this yet but it smells awesome! I'm one of those people that loves the smell of cilantro, but I know a lot of people can't stand it.
six. (MALIN + GOETZ)- Grapefruit Face Cleanser
I'll try this guy later. I've never heard anything about this brand, I should do some googling!
Overall, I hated this box. There is not a single product that I loved or was dying to try. I was actually super disappointed, because the first goop box I saw had Essie and Kiehls in it. Had they sent me that box I would have loved it! Luck of the draw I guess. Also, the card they sent with my box didn't have the Caudalie product on it and had a Per-fekt Beauty brow perfection gel instead.. I would have liked to see that product! I have to agree with Tara though, two thumbs up for no perfume samples.
I did discover something since my last review though. While I may not appreciate everything that comes in my Birchbox, your girlfriends will love it if you put all of your extra samples in the guest bathroom when they come to visit! Right Katie and Alex ;)

Cilantro scented hair? Hmm... i guess that could bring a new meaning to "the way to a man's heart is through is stomach"... or something?
My Birchbox was totally different!! I got a luna bar also but yours seems much better:)
I finally canceled my Birchbox and went with GlamBag. Just got my first bag and I was SO not disappointed. I love that it even comes with a cute bag every month.
Oh boy that box would make me mad! HAve you Tried Glam Bags? I have been doing them for a couple months now and i love them! I mean its always beauty products so no food and there usually great bags,you should check it out
XoXo
I LIVE for Caudalie!! I hoard the samples whenever I can because it's so expensive but the actual products are amazing. So jealous :)
Worst Birchbox: the one that gave me HEADPHONES - what? yeah I was a little disappointed this month too. I also hate getting food - it's like getting underwear for Christmas.
Sorry you hated the box. that stinks. I actually wanted the lip balm but glad I didn't go for it. Protein bars??? who eats those?
I didn't love mine either, I decided to give it two more months then I'm switching!
My favorite things package is heading your way with my favorite lip balm, so throw that gross stuff away!
=/ a disappointing birchbox is no fun!
I need to sign back up I keep forgetting
Totally hated mine this month! Very disappointed!!! Hope next month is WAY better to make up for it!
I got my very first birchbox yesterday.. I loved it! But I had completely different stuff. Sorry yours wasn't so good!
oh man, I'm sorry you didn't like it. The protein bar does sound nasty. lol. smart choice passing on it. Fabulous post, love. If you get a sec, I'd love to hear your thoughts on my latest outfit post. xo'

I canceled my subscription. I'm sure I'll be back. Have you tried Glambag?
i cant figure out if i got the birchbox or the goop box??
i was satisfied with mine. i didn't like most of the crap but i did manage to score a fullsize essie nail polish. which was super.
i got that cocoa lip balm and it was absolutely DISGUSTING. i was like what the heck is this. it was smooth though.
do you know if they automatically re-charge your credit card when your subscription is up?? i'm not sure how i can cancel or when my year is over?!?!
oh man! was it my box you saw witht he kiehls and essie? i know. i scored with my october box...so weird!! but good for you for not trying that luna bar. i usually love luna bars, so i was excited to try it and it was Gross with a capital G...of course, i also like bacon, so don't trust my opinion ;)
