Birchbox April 2013

[jessicarobin]

It's not much less expensive, but I'm a fan of Tocca's sugar scrubs ($32)). They also are infused with oil, but maybe not as much as the Dirt scrub. If I remember correctly, Dirt's formula seemed more natural. I also like the Buffy bar from Lush. It's really gritty, but it's maybe TOO oily. It helped me with my keratosis pilaris, though!

Not sure if this is the wrong place for this question but since its related to a product I discovered through birchbox I'll ask anyway! Mods feel free to delete or move /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I discovered dirt scrub after sampling it several months ago. It is my HG even though I'm sure it could be too rough/too oily for certain skin types. I have a weird dry/ flaky with darkening when it's the driest and this stuff makes it vanish without drying me even more (probably because of the oils) but at $45 a tub I was hoping some you knowledgable ladies woud have suggestions for another product similar to it. TIA

I am a scrub lover too. Philosophy makes a salt scrub that has a similar feel and it is usually 25 a tub. Body shop has some good ones and if you sign up for their emails they always have deals. I found the lemon to be more oily and the olive oil one more creamy. Last, if you have skin issues there is KP duty, which is expensive but helps with keratosis pilaris made by dermadoctor. I use that once a week in between my other scrubs! Lastly, Avene body oil is heaven for dry skin.

I don't know if I'd pay $20 every month, but boxes are kind of expensive 

 I'd pay $20 for at least one month of those cute boxes. Goodness knows I need boxes to actually organize my makeup. WE DEMAND MOAR BOXES lol

I know, I bet some people were upset it was a joke.

 

[fanchette]

I was not upset it was a joke, but those ARE pretty, and I would pay for some good quality storage boxes. Maybe they're on to something here haha!

I wish the spoiler video would go up today, but there hasn't been an announcement for it yet. They'd probably do some kind of cringe worthy gag, though, so maybe it's better that it doesn't go up today. If those flower petal lip gloss sample things were serious samples, who knows what they could stick in the video as a joke sample. Those patterned boxes are actually pretty cute.

They got me with the April Fools! I would buy some of those pretty printed boxes, but not for $20, they would have to be only a few dollars each depending on size.
