I never thought I would say that Im stocked in the red department. It seems like over the past year with all my subs, I've somehow gathered approx 10 new red lipstick, stains, glosses, etc. This of course doesnt count my existing staple reds including Chanel no 1, MAC Russian Red, etc. etc. As I said,I'm an avid red wearer but I was really hoping for subs to introduce me to some new colors- corals, plums, neutrals , etc. if anyone got the mirenesse in perfect kiss ( the coral color) I would Luv to trade- I love the color I got but I'm ready to go outside of my box ;-)

I love MAC Russian Red.

Got the nail polish in my box...was super excited, the color is great - but...it chipped really bad after like 12 hours of wear (mostly sleeping) so I'm pretty bummed about that, I'll try again with a diff combo on base and top coat

The Joanna Vargas serum is worth every penny! I got it last October in my goop box and it was so fantastic I bought the full size and have been using it ever since.

I got it in my Goop box too and haven't even opened it...what's so great about it?

My polish chipped pretty bad in 2 days. Not as bad as 12h. I used Essie base and top coat.

My box was delivered yesterday, box 25.  They tend to send me a lot of anti-aging products, and I feel like they are trying to tell me something, lol.  I would adjust my profile, but it isn't like I can't use them....  I am just not ready to admit it.:

I got the Mirenesse in Quick Kiss (the bright orange) and I LOVE it.  I am a bold lip kind of girl though, I can see why others would be a bit put off.

I used to complain about anti aging before, but now I just use it up. I don't actively buy anti aging skincare, but if I get some I use it up /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> (I'm 21) At this point I don't mind it at all /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

My big problem with the anti-aging things I've tried: They irritate my skin like whoa! One cream left me with such a horrifying allergic reaction that I ended up making an emergency run to Walgreen's on Christmas Day to get something to help because it just kept getting worse every day, and I couldn't stand to wait until partway through work the next day to get something (I go to work so early that picking anything up on the way isn't an option. The only places open at that hour are coffee places, bakeries, and bagel shops). I would take this off my list of skin concerns, but it clearly doesn't matter, so whatever.

That is an awesome box! And I love your little deer decor so cuuute!! I am only 23 but I embrace all the anti aging products. My last 4 years of nursing school have really taken a toll on my appearance. I am a big believer in prevention and unfortunately wrinkles are one of the many things you cannot get rid of once thy find a home on your face! It's something i wouldn't want to spend my $ on because those items are sooo expensive. So I really like that BB will incorporate these items once in a while and I'm able to try an array of different things.

Fun fact: We begins the aging process at age 20. Never too early to start an anti aging regimen!

That Bain Substantif is my HG shampoo.  I have hair loss due to medication and the shampoo does a great job of making it look like I still have some hair.  That serum lasted me six weeks.  All you need is a tiny bit.  You got a great box.

I love Kerastase products and I have never tried the Bain Substantif, so I am looking forward to it.  They have a new product called Initialiste, which is a hair serum/concentrate I just purchased. So far, it really seems to be improving my hair and scalp (which is sensitive to some products). Have you heard of it? My hair stylist is a trainer for Kerastase and LOVES it.

I can't wait to try to serum, thanks for the tip on using a tiny bit. I would like it to last, it sounds great and has great ingredients for skin.

What fragrance is your Lafco soap?  I don't know why, but suddenly I have a thing for higher end soaps. 

The fragrance name of the Lafco soap is called "Fleurs de Baines".  The Lafco website describes the scent as, "This dramatically fruity floral is a combination of bayberry leaves, wild roses, black currants and a touch of raspberry".  Honestly, in regular people's terms, it smells like a green/floral scent. Scent is very personal, but I really like it, it's smells very different and refreshing. 

Let us know what you get in your box, maybe your box will be even better!

Aww Mother Nature is just mean, lol! If it could only be bumped up a touch to start at, oh say... 80.

Just got a pretty good deal!  Drink koozies for my husband who needed some for his summertime Coronas, a men's Pick Two of hangover pills (haha!) and hair texture paste that I'll use on my son's hair, then the Boscia Cleansing Cream (for me).  All for $6!!!  Woot!

Nice box!  I got those vitamin serum things a few months ago and loved using them!  I had forgotten about them until now, so I just purchased the vitamin C's.  I love anything anti-aging.  I'm 52 and don't have any lines or wrinkles yet, but I know that day is coming.  I've been using anti-aging stuff since I was a teenager, when I used to steal my mums and have just kept right on using it.

Sorry if this has been answered before, but I already have a women's health subscription (that expires this June) and I would like to either renew it after that or get the refund they offer, but they are asking to send a birchbox subscription order confirmation (what exactly do they want us to send? the email confirmation we got when we subscribed to birchbox?)... I was wondering if there is a way to do this online instead of emailing the card we got in our box. Has anyone of you done this already?
