Birchbox Mystery Sample Pack Reveal – June 2016

Birchbox often allows those who order $35 or more to add a Mystery Sample Pack for free. This is fun because you get a little something extra and it is a surprise.

If you do not reach the $35 minimum order then you can buy this add on for $10 but don’t do it. I don’t care how much wine you have had… I don’t care if you are high off of a chocolate bar. Don’t do it. Just do this as a fun perk because it is never as good as the $10 value of say, a sample box.

Packs come in both Ladies and Mens

Yeah I dusted this spot after I saw this picture… oh well…

 

Shu Uemura – Cleansing Oil Shampoo

Curl Keeper – Leave In Conditioner

 

Verdict: Right away I was pissed off to see a foil type sample. It was my understanding that these samples would be larger. One would think that at the regular price of $10 for this add on that it would be at least worth that. The Curl Keeper is a generous size that should last awhile and be perfect to really try out the product. But one foil of a shampoo is not something I get excited about even when it is a higher end brand.

I would write them to complain because seriously dude. BUT and I am going to be very honest with you all – I was the one in the wrong when I first made the order. You see, I did not look at where I was sending my package and sent it to my old addy. It was sent back to the company and so I wrote them. I owned up to my mistake and instead of making me pay for it they just resent out my order without ANY hassle at all. WITH all the free add ons and such… So … I have no room to talk when I look at things big picture.

    Have you moved recently? Will you email me your addy so I can make sure that I have the correct one?

    Interesting. Whenever I’ve gotten foil packets in my mystery pack I’ve always received two (that count as one sample). Sometimes it’s two of the same, but in my last it was a shampoo and conditioner foil set.

      I am kinda salty about the whole thing to be honest, but can’t help but be thankful that they were so nice about the mistake I made…

    For some reason I apparently ordered a mens mystery pack on my last order. I got a tiny foil shampoo and conditioner sample and a tiny soap sponge scented with dirt among other scents. I do better with the womens mystery packs I guess!
