Got my box! 

700

Really excited about all of it - love the natural ingredients in all the products!

Just finished my review and the box is worth almost $26 if you factor in the subscription. Ballin!
Awesome! I was wondering if the Yes To... lip balms

were going to be full sized. Those are great!

I bought that color as you mentioned. It didn't look good on me. I left it on for a few days trying to get it to grow on me; nope. All I like the most about it that it lasts longer, no chips, etc.

Drat! Yeah, I deleted that picture but its the color like that ... That's how it looked like that on my hands and wasnt that appealing. The color from a bottle looked so pretty.... Of course, it wasn't that sparkling lol

That is a shame! I'm sorry it didn't work out for you. I haven't tried any of these textured polishes yet, do they really stay on longer than other polishes? I guess that does make sense that they do. What a shame. It really looks sparkly on their facebook posts.  I even like this blue here, but it's not vibrant. Kinda... muted. I would love THAT color of vlue/periwinkle but with some shimmer.

Have you tried the black- "Dahlia"? I know its not very springy but it is AMAZING! You can actually see the sparkles a LOT! And the Chyna is really good too!  the rest suck! Super excited for the Summer Collection though!!!

 
I'm starting to get a little twitchy (that moment right before a tad annoyed)...I've had my tracking number since Tuesday morning on the website, then a shipping email on wednesday, but the tracking hasn't updated...so I have no info since then. It's never taken more than 12 hours since I receive tracking to receive info. Hmmm....anyone else having this problem?

I'm going to get this in my birchbox (according to tracking, it'll arrive on Monday). I'm surprised that it doesn't have a lid of some sort - since it's a balm, I'm assuming that it's going to get dried out without a lid?

It looks to me like it could be a clamshell, like the Yabi singles and Coastal Scents quads that ipsy sent out.

I received the Joanna Vargas serum in my box today! I can't wait to try it. Sample size 5mL
I got the Joanna Vargas serum in my goop box last October. I loved it so much I decided to shell out the $85 for a full bottle after a week of sampling it. And that was an actual $85 Birchbox Shop purchase - no discount code, no Birchbox points to bring down the cost. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> The sample is awesome: you only need 2-3 drops, and since the cap pops back on, the sample lasted me just a little under 3 weeks using it morning and night. It's on the thicker side for a serum, but it spreads so beautifully and easily on the face. Some people didn't like the smell; it has a very green citrusy natural fragrance that can smell a little on the grassy side, but the smell didn't bother me at all. I hope you like it!

I'm not familiar with the Yabi singles or Coastal Scents quads, so I had to look up what 'clamshell packaging' was...I hope you're right!

Thanks!!!! Its somewhat disappointing for me. I was expecting better packaging, like something like a mini compact like the size of the BE creamy concealer. I know that's a lot to ask for a sample, but that would make it much easier to store.

the serum was given out in the goop birchboxes a while back.

 This is what it looked like. Im assuming its the same size?  I had 2 and gave them away. The top was nice because it can be resealed, but its not a pump.

 
So this happened last night:

Birchbox Home: From the Garden
LEGARDEN-2013 1 Ruby Wing Color Changing Nail Polish Color
Poppy RW191037 1 Pick Two Sample Pack (free with $25+ order) Choose 1 pack
Ahava Mineral Foot Cream & Juliette Has a Gun Lady Vengeance SKU2311 1  I convinced the hubby I needed  the BB Home box and used the polish to get free shipping.
