Ready for the birchboxes to come!  I know it is not the 10th but I have the anticipation of a 3 year old Christmas eve!  I can't wait to see what i get!  Sorry you have to wait till the bf comes to get yours.  You should make him open em on Skype or do "unboxing" videos!
Yup that means: Gabi has nothing to do and sits on her ass on the forums all day long lol yay to being unemployed lmao (not taking it wrong, just laughing at myself XD)

Lmao well he does have to take pictures of them so I can post it on my blog...so might as well make him do a lil' unboxing video for me XD 

 
Aww sorry to hear!  But at least you get to be on here and work on your blog! hoepfully something comes up for you soon.  And if you need a Neutrogena care/OPI care package let me know! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

BTW that is so sweet he does that!  Hopefully his mom doesn't find out and use it against you!

What are you hoping for in your BB this month?  I am soo wanting the Miranesse.  If I get nothing else I would be a happy girl!

I LOVE Neutrogena grapefruit wipes. They were the first makeup remover wipes I used and I fell in love. It seems they are slowly disappearing, I can't them anywhere anymore though. :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

It is indeed ^^ I thought we got along super well and really liked her...then she turned lol
That's EXACTLY what happened to me! lol My hubby kept warning me when we first started dating....he said she was nutty, and crazy and lived in loo-loo land but I thought she was nice, so I got close to her and she turned on me. I've learned never ever to tell her anything personal AGAIN! lol

On a secondary note...still no tracking or clicky truck here!

On a third note...OLE HENRIKSON TRUTH SERUM! LOVE IT! yay!

I think I'm actually starting to get more interested in finding out what the box contents are in general than in mine specifically!  But I do have some things I'm hoping for based on what we've seen already:

  • Hair oil (I will always hope for any brand of this, except for that Ojon three-layer stuff.  That was weird and waxy on my hair)
  • Mirenesse (I LOVE LIP PRODUCTS!)
  • nail polish (even if it's a color I don't like, I pretty much always hope for it whenever it's in boxes)
  • Beauty Protector (I have a full-sized bottle plus most of the sample I received the first time around, but I LOVE THIS STUFF!  HOARDING IT!)
  • that shower gel (yeah, I like it)
  • eye roller (allergies like whoa)
  • Malin + Goetz body wash (more shower gel!  And I love bergamot!)
  • Caudalie oil (I love facial oils!)

Based on the new items in the store, crossing my fingers that these are headed my way:  

  • Nexxus leave-in conditioning foam
  • Sumita eyeshadow pencils
  • W3LL PEOPLE ColorBalm stick
  • W3LL PEOPLE Universalist Multi-Use color stick

But I have no clue whether those are in any boxes.  Those are just wishful thinking for me.  They're things I would love to try but (with the exception of the eyeshadow sticks) do not think I am willing to spend points (and *definitely* not money) on.
 
I agree with all your items, but the hair oil.  I could fill my bathtub with all the varities of that stuff I have!  If I could have any repeat sample I would hope for the Beauty protector!  That stuff rocks!

Love love the Neutrogena wipes! I buy them at Costco. 114 wipes for $15!

Would love to try the grapefruit ones though. I really like citrusy scents.
I use the regular Neutrogena wipes.  They are my favorite out of the 4 or so brands I've tried.  I did venture out and try the grapefruit ones, but I ended up giving them to my mom because they really burned my face.  She ended up loving them, though!

With the exception of the shower gel with the polarizing aroma, we have a lot in common. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 
 
finally picked up my box today (it was delivered on sat):

same as another box posted earlier:

 
mirenesse glossy kiss laface face wash joie perfume nexxus youth renewal rejuvenating elixir simple revitalizing eye roll-on   for those of you who got the mirenesse, it's just the very tip of the pencil, right?  not that i'm complaining, but it seems like a lot of material going into packaging (a large pencil) when i'm assuming the product does not go  any further down than the tip.  also seems kind of weird that birchbox said to sharpen it but what do i know. any thoughts?

 
woot woot! my box is in! well, the package slip for me to pick it up at the post office came in my mailbox tonight!

I thought it was a full sized pencil??

i was confused bc it looks full-sized but then the spoiler birchbox posted talked about how to maintain the sample sizes (and that the full-size is twist-up, which the sample is not)

 
I have tried the Yes to Blueberries towelettes and the Yes To Grapefruit towelettes. The blueberries ones seem very gentle but the smell makes me nauseous. The grapefruit ones exfoliate nicely, but they make my face feel slimey while I'm using them and fpr about 5 minutes after. They do not smell like grapefruit. I do not like them as well as the Neutrogena Grapefruit Cleansing towelettes, but other people say the Neutrogena ones burn like fire, eventhough I love them. You never know how your skin will react until you try them. No burning at all with Yes to Blueberries or Yes to Grapefruit on my face.

All I know is I wouldn't mind some macaroons! Yeah, yeah I'm that annoying person always looking for sweets regardless of the source. Also, I'm not a huge fan of the Yes to.. products- I don't have a real reason however  I tried one scrub and it was meh but I like scrubs with mix of fine and course particles. I guess I should give the other lines a chance, but I'm still crossing my fingers that they go to people who want them! If I were going to try anything from that brand any suggestions? I see they have a ton of their products at Target (say it fancy) so I would love to like a products that is so easy to get my hands on. whoa, too much caffeine !:5:
I really love the Yes to Cucumbers Facial Towelettes because I use them to remove my makeup in winter. I have really sensitive dry skin in winter and these help give me a healthy glow, and they don't irritate my skin. Also they smell good. They are on the whimpier side of things, but I do really love them and with a little power they get off even the toughest eye makeup.
 
Sorry if this has been posted- are the boxes coming with a free year of women's health magazine? I see a card in the boxes is that to get it free or just buy it and mail the card?
