Here's my January 2012 birchbox:

1. Juicy Couture- Viva La Juicy
2. Origins- Checks and Balances Frothy Face Wash
3. Stila- Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner in peacock
4. VMV Hypoallergenics- Re-everything: Face-Hand-Body Lotion
5. Larabar- mini bar in chocolate chip cookie dough

The Origins and Lotion samples seem to be generously sized. I tried the facewash tonight and I love it! I may purchase the full size! It works perfectly for my combination skin. The stila smudge stick eyeliner is full size. It's a darkish teal. I'm not too I to blue eye products, but I love just about any other color including purples and greens. This color is pretty though, so I may like it when I try it (well hopefully). I have this same eyeliner in koi, which is a gold color. I liked the texture of that one but as far as staying power, I wasn't impressed at all. At a price tag of $20 you're probably better off with urban decay's 24/7, clinique's cream eye shaper, or mac's Powerpoint pencil. As far as getting it in my $10, birchbox, it's great :) I don't mind it, I just wouldnt spend full price for it...Moving on, I already know I dont like viva la juicy, so that will go into my unusable sample pile I've accumulated. I don't know how the bar and lotion are because I haven't used either yet. I tested a little of the lotion and it feels decent, almost like first aid beauty's ultra repair cream. I actually like that product so it's a compliment :p anyway in summary, this month's box was well worth the $10 and in fact was one of my favorite boxes so far (I've been subscribing to birchbox for almost a year). I hope everyone else was happy with their box too!!!
