Congratulations! That's awesome Gabi /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I wanted to share this with you guys and since BB is still sending Evologie's Intensive Blemish Serum and I got it from BB I think it's relevant to this thread. I reviewed that product on my blog and today I got an email from Evologie saying they would be featuring me in their news page. I know this is not much and prolly for you guys with super popular blogs, tons of views and a bunch of followers, it's nothing. But for me to have the actual company read something I said about their product is huge, actually, for me to have anyone talk about something I wrote on my blog is huge /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Just wanted to share with you guys cuz I got super excited /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

And one of the ladies here mentioned that in BB man they got a full sized lip butter product so that would be really great! They have melon, mint, pomegranate, and berry. Those all sound good to me. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> My shipping hasn't updated yet, but I am pretty close to their distribution center so probably soon! How about yours? I am excited so see what size everything is. 

Let's see, right now I probably have 4 or 5 chapsticks/lip balm, 2 lipsticks, and a lipgloss in my purse.  I looove lip products, lol.  I'm super excited for the lip balm, especially if it's full size!! Mine is scheduled to come by the 15th as well, and it's been slow this time so I'm not getting my hopes up to receive it before then.  I will definitely be running to the mailbox on the 15th, though!  (I did it with my Ipsy bag and my boyfriend made fun of me for at least 10 minutes! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />)

lol that is the one product I want this month.

I love seeing how one item is the one someone wants really bad while another wants nothing to do with it. I guess that is the miracle of these boards lol

So true!

yup ^^ you are getting the Mirenesse right?

I super need the mattifier-at least I think I do...I don't want to buy the full size though unless I know what it's like. I live in Florida (it's 80 degrees today) and I work in a restaurant that is 90% outside. I like to do what I can to keep my face from looking like a nasty shiny mess. So, feel free to send (or trade) the Youngblood over here.

Have you tried Peter Thomas Roth's Clinimatte? I was introduced to it last June & fell in love with it. At the time, I hated myself for falling in love with a $50 mattifying lotion, but its fantastic. I applied it once in the morning and was shine-free all day - and this was in 90+ degree weather. I had also just had major ankle surgery and had to use crutches to get around and none of the classrooms I was in had A/C - no shine from oil or sweat. It was awesome. It also kept my skin nice & moisturized.

I'm getting this box too! I've tried the Yes to Cucumbers wipes before and I love them so I'm super excited to get them! I've also tried the yes to grapefruit wipes and I've been meaning to try the scrub. Just be warned it probably doesn't smell like real grapefruit, the grapefruit wipes smelled so artificial. I'm supposed to get my box on the 15th! I've been with birchbox for 3 months and this box is my favorite!

Good to hear!  I thought I've seen a previous BB thread with some Yes to.. products and everyone seemed to like them for the most part, so I'm actually pretty excited to try all 3 of them! This is my 2nd one and I wasn't happy with March's box, but this month I looove!

Aww, congrats! That's amazing!

I love the Kerastase products too!  I got the shampoo for $30 using my 20% off.  It's still very very expensive.  Then remembering that Keratase is the high-end hair product line of the same company that owns L'Oreal, I looked into L'Oreal. They recently launched a new line of hair care with many ingredients closely paralleling that of the Keratase line, ceramide, hyaluronic acid etc...  I looked for a match for the Kerastase that I use, got a sample of it - L'Oreal Total Repair 5, Shampoo & Conditioner and my hair loves it as much as the $42 bottle... and I like the scent more. Just a thought~ Anyone know what size the Youngblood mattifier is?  I'm getting box 4 and I think the YB is my full-sizer.  I'm not really into it, and I'd like to trade it out, just not sure how large it is and of it's 'currency' value.  

 

 

0.05 oz - 1/5 of the full-sized one.

That is super awesome, congrats!!!

I'm considering bumping myself back down to the lowest income level to see if I'll be happier with my boxes..

But I just got hired for a job where I'll actually be a few levels above lowest one! (I posted earlier about an interview, thanks so much for the well wishes guys! Please don't see this as me complaining about having too much money lol 

) Ultimate awful first world problem that makes me feel really guilty for even posting it: do i put my now "true" income or my little-broke-college student income? 

For reference, I got box 1 this month.

Or, really, are these whole profiles things just a crapshoot? 

Congrats on getting the job! I think the profiles do work I put that I have colored hair and I have gotten  products for colored hair.

Totally worth the $50. I still have about half a tube left & I used it daily from June to February.

i got my birchbox! i'm a wee bit disappointed. the item i really didn't want (have it already and don't like it) is the one i got -.-  so sad i didn't get the vegan macaroons /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
i already have the simple eye roll on and don't like it, unfortunately. ahava makes me break out and i don't like hot pink polish. all 3 items will be up for swap. if anyone's interested, i'd love to swap!

Same. I already have the Nexxus but I already know I'm going to love it and want a backup tiny bottle.

My box still hasn't updated but I'm telling myself it is because I got last months on the 24th so they are giving me time to use and review or that I'm getting a super top secret box... a girl can dream!

Lol hope you get a great box!

That's a great deal!
