I got my first subscription box!

I got it the other day! I wasn't sure I was going to share it...but meh...might as well! I was so so so excited about joining Birchbox and getting some awesome samples and product to try out and see if it worked for me. BUUUUUUUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT...my first box was. . .well, it was not good. Bleh. Meh. Feh. Not impressed! I'm giving them one more month and if they don't find some decent shit to send out, they're cancelled! Ugh. Here is what my box contained:

Kate Spade New York Twirl Perfume--Sample size is the equivalent to one that you'd pick up at Sephora or the like for FREE.  Plus it smells kinda teenybopper-ey.  Not for me.  I'll add it to the pile of other sample perfumes I've picked up.

Twistband Hair Tie--Have super-short hair.  No need at all for hair ties.  Headband would have been nice.  Plus?  They didn't even finish the edges of the hair tie so it was already fraying when it arrived.  Crap.

tili Bag--This.  This is crap.  Pure crap.  It is a decorated ziploc bag...but it isn't even a good zipper top one.  Nope, this craptacular bag is a pinch to close.  I've put it in my daughter's diaper bag for when we have a diaper change and I can't immediately throw away the soiled diaper.

Wei to Go Sleep Over Kit--or as I like to call it, your One-Night-Stand-Walk-Of-Shame kit.  This actually isn't that bad.  Too bad it is such a minuscule sample.  2 eency foil pouches of the oil based cleanser and 1 still-eency-but-not-as-eency foil pouch of a tinted moisturizer.  But, I would like more than just a foil pouch of something I can pick up at Sephora for free.

21 Drops Aromatherapy Blend--Again, not terrible. I like the smell of the aromatherapy oil.  But I can't tell a difference in focus (the scent I received) when using it.  It just smells pleasant.

Birchbox and Color Club Custom Nailpolish--color is okay.  It's a dark gray...like wet cement.  I don't hate it but the formula is kind of crap and chipped on the second day of wearing it.

So I emailed them.  I let them know it wasn't to my liking.  I let them know I was disappointed.  I got an email back that told me to try changing around things in my profile.  Soooooooooooo, I checked my profile and nowhere on there does it say, "JENNIFER LOVES GETTING CRAP."  No where did I see a box to click to tell them I was not accepting junk.  So I "tweaked" my profile.  But honestly, I saw what the other people got, too and it wasn't impressive so I'm not getting my hopes up.
