I'm happy with the box I got, except for the Juicy perfume. I hate their fragrances. I think I've used the Eyeko liner every day since I received it.
So what did everyone get? Are you happy with your box this month?

Bimbi, the Marine Cream is one of my all-time favorite Birchbox samples! I wish the full-size product wasn't so expensive.
I got theBalm blush in Hot Mama (like it), Number 4 Clarifying shampoo (okay, my hair actually seems drier since I've been using it), Fresh Lotus face cream (haven't tried yet) and Harvey Prince Skinny Chic perfume (just okay, but DH likes it). I also was supposed to get the Lashem Gel Serum, but I was sent a mascara sample instead. I contacted Birchbox because I'd much rather try the serum, so hopefully they'll send me a replacement.

I got this box as well. I haven't tried anything yet... But yes, the eyeko eyeliner is phenom. I got it in my box sometime over the summer and I still use it frequently.
I need to start using my Hot Mama sample from last month! Pretty soon my whole face will be by Birchbox. I can use either Jouer tinted moisturizer, the hot mama blush/eye shadow, Eyeko liner, and Jouer birchbox pink lip gloss. Hmm...maybe it's time to put together an "emergency kit" with Birchbox samples.
I got a nail polish from Alessandro, perfume from Harvey Prince called Skinny Chic, Ojon Instant Restorative Hair Serum, and the Balm Put a Lid On It Eyelid Primer. And face cream from Fresh.
I'm not impressed with my box this month. I'm going to hold out for Feb and if I don't like it, I am going to cancel.
I got: Deborah Lippmann Stripper to Go nail polish remover wipe theBalm Hot Mama blush - looks like a dupe of NARS Orgasm, which I already have Number 4 Clarifying shampoo Aerie shimmer perfume - yuck. embroyolisse Miracle cream - the box for this was absolutely crushed
I'm with you Nata, I'm getting kinda bored with my boxes lately. Some ok things but nothing is impressing me. I use some stuff and the rest is sitting around.
The little bottle is Argan oil. It seems that some items can vary in color every month but there's not a ton of variation between boxes. This month it seemed that there were a few nail polish colors sent (I got that red) and a few different brushes (I got a crease brush).
Just another option to Birchbox, if you're tired of it.
urbancowgirl, tell me about the marine cream please! I haven't used it yet...what benefits have you gotten from it?
I used it when my skin was feeling dry, flaky, and dull. I tried to make the sample last, so I only applied it once a week or so. I used it in place of a moisturizer at night and my skin felt so refreshed and soft in the morning. I liked the texture of the cream and it smelled awesome. Like I said earlier, I wish the full-sized product wasn't totally out of my price range. Hope you like it!

If you look on the site you can poke around and see the last few bags. My friend that has been doing this for 6 months says there's not sample sized stuff (one-use), it's always travel-sized if it's small. You get the little bag every month, I've been using them for travel or various gym bags but I plan to use them for gift-giving etc in the future.
It may be sold out right now but my guess is the wait list isn't very long.
I get myglam as well and I generally prefer it to birchbox. I got the same bag in PP.
I also get Glossybox which usually has all deluxe samples and usually at least 1 full size product in each box. I like glossybox the best, but its also more expensive. Its $21 a month, but the box/samples are bigger. This month, they are doing a collabo with Man Repeller, so the products are all chosen by her (still time to order if anyone is interested!) You can check it out on your own, or use my link so I get points! www.glossybox.com/referal?CI=MzYxNw==

I agree I really like the marine but there's no way I'd spend full price on it. I also feel like every month has had some sort of hair oil lately.
Not sure if this image will work. I stopped my subscription before this box shipped and I didn't receive the Skinny Chic. Eh, whatever, I don't need another fragrance sample. I need a Birchbox break, I haven't been using the samples lately, and I didn't want to have to take the ten bucks out of my fun money this year.
Wow - I feel like I'm getting screwed... I've been considering cancelling my BB subscription since they left out most of the samples a couple of months ago. This month I got:
-Harvey Prince Skinny Chic perfume sample -Amika color pherfection shampoo -The Balm Hot Mama -Deborah Lippmann the Stripper to go -My Prime Multi Purpose Mattifying Moisturizer
