Unfortunately my box arrived with a broken sample of hair oil. It was a complete mess of oily, broken glass and I had to throw the whole thing away. :-( I am however happy to report that Birchbox was VERY quick to respond to the situation. They sent a replacement my way and informed me the items inside would possibly be different. Here is my new box!
Beauty Protector Protect & Oil (Full size: $21.95, sample size ~$2)
Of course the only item that was the same between the two boxes was the item that caused the problem. Haha. I don't use hair oil on a regular basis, but will keep this around for times when I pull out the curling iron/blow dryer.
Dr. Brandt Pores No More Pore Refiner (Full size: $45, sample size - $11.25)
I love this brand and I love how this has a great matte finish. It's great how it can be used both under and over makeup.
Joan Vass L'eau de Cristal (Full size: $75, sample size ~ $1)
I'm not a huge fan of fragrance samples, but they are definitely handy for travel or to carry in a purse. I actually really like how soft this musky scent is.
OPI Sheer Tints Top Coat (Full size: $9, sample size $2.25)
This top coat has a light purple tint. I'm going to need to look up the best ways to use it. It might be a fun way to touch up a manicure that is a few days old!
Harney and Sons Fine Teas ($9.60 for 20, sample size - 2 bags (~1)
It's always fun to try new tea flavors. I'm enjoying the White Vanilla Grapefruit right now.
Overall this is a middle of the road box for me. The total value is around $15 which is on the lower side of many previous boxes. I do understand that this was a replacement though. Hopefully I have some more exciting items in March!
