Kids...When I got bangs, my 3 year old was like "why do you have weird hair?" and my husband had to leave the room because he was laughing so hard.

Also, not sure if anyone pointed this out already, but for the ladies loving the Nexxus hair elixir, it's going to be in the allure summer beauty box - I CANT WAIT FOR TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry that I have to post this. For some strange reason, I subscribed Birchbox May 2013 MUT forum that I'm not allowed to speak or member of that forum. I PM to the administrator but is there anyone would point me to a right person? Most of you know me on this forum and Birchbox May 2013; I didn't do anything wrong. Did that forum crashed or what?

Not just you, looks like the thread was deleted, but I'm not sure why. I'll consult with zadi and other mods to see whats up.

Thanks for checking.

I've restored the thread. There was an issue with the link in the OP's (May) thread which as a result, due to a variety of factors, caused the whole thread to be removed. I need to go over the permissions for my moderators in the Social Groups since they may not have full access to edit posts thus are forced to "delete" posts (and nothing is ever really deleted just hidden).

Weird. Ok so what's next? Do I go back and re subscribe or wait for someone else to start the thread?

 

[JimmyJazz]

I am still not seeing the may thread...?

 

[Playedinloops]

hm should be there now, here is the link: https://www.makeuptalk.com/t/134552/birchbox-woman-may-2013

it might just be taking a moment for the site to "catch up" with the undeleting. the link definitely shows that it's not deleted anymore.

Thanks for taking care of that!

ughh she just changed the box  on my account--but she clearly didn't read my email, as I specifically noted that I still received one item different from the card that came with the box. wish they were consistent with these things! oh well /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

It depends on who ends up answering your email and whether they have the correct box.  Sometimes they send the "correct" box, sometimes they give you 100 points, sometimes they just shrug and change the box on your account so you can review the correct items.  I would say to send an email listing what your box history says you should have received, what the card says was supposed to be in the box, and what you actually received and see what they have to say about it.

Wait a sec...sounds just like my hubby! lol

Don't worry - I got him back by tackling him and kissing him all over his face so he had orange lipstick marks everywhere.  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

niiiiice

thankfully it doesn't appear to be an actual oil. but I agree, I hate hair oils! based on my profile, why would a straight-haired girl who only wants volume, need a hair oil to smooth/weigh down hair? from birchbox alone I've gotten 5 different types of hair oils, from Shu Uemura to Kerastase to Olie to Caudalie to Macadamia Oil. I mean I literally get them every other month /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />.

anti-aging stuff was the main reason I quit Sample Society--I gave it a few months, and like half the products in each box were anti-aging (not to mention, all the Oscar de la Renta grandma perfumes). not sure what it's like now, but I don't think I'll miss it lol.

I'm 28 with oily, acne-prone skin and thick normal-oily hair. My skin and hair can't handle the heavy-duty anti-aging stuff quite yet.. looks like my mom will be getting to try a lot of this stuff, haha!

The macadamia oil makes my hair go *floof*, but in a good way! I flip over my towel-dried hair and work it in from mid-length to the ends from the underside, and then I let the whole mess airdry for a few hours before I brush it out.

 

[Beeyutifull]

I absolutely LOVE the Macademia oil. It smells so great too. I usually put it in my hair at night, have yet to try it as a daytime oil...hmm maybe I'll give it a shot tomorrow!

I just bought the Nexxus serum at target. My hair is pretty long, very dry,and since I'm ancient, I guess it is as well. I only got a couple of uses from the serum, but it's super light, and really did well in protecting my hair against the humidity. I normally straighten my hair, but I did not today, and my hair held up.

so i finally tried out my Mirenesse- i got Cheeky Kiss. Its so pretty. first let me apologize for the weir expression on my face but i am terrible at selfies. Also, i regret the duck face!!! But this was a good shot of the lipstick!! i really like the smoothness, but honestly it didnt last that long on me. for my lips at least its much more of a lipstick than a lip stain!
