Birchbox August 2013

[meaganola]

Thanks for sharing this! Now I am even more sad. The box I received is 100% not the box they (Birchbox) have listed for me on the website. Is this normal? Has that happened to anyone before?

Yep, to me. And the box they missent to me was missing an item. Email Birchbox CS and let them know. They might send the correct box, or they might give you extra points.

It's not normal but it happened to me in May and I was really bummed about it. I contacted Birchbox CS and they corrected the box contents on the website so I could review the products. In also got points but only because the box I received had a repeat product.

Thanks! I will definitely contact them and let them know.

Dang...there's like 6+ new pages. I'll read up later, but if anyone wants to see swatches from the ModelCo Neutral set - here you go:



From bottom to top: ModelCo lipstick duo from Glossybox in Dusk, Trio's Dusk to Dawn, Trio's Kitty, Trio's Get Naked.

At least, I'm 90% sure that's the order of the trio. I did this a few days ago so there is a slight possibility I got the last two inversed.  I'll check tomorrow...

Oh man. Someone offered me Kitty in a trade and I turned it down. WHAT WAS I THINKING????

I'm going to the DC event! But my Birchbox hasn't arrived yet (and isnt scheduled to) and Birchbox refused to send me the discount card by itself. Did everyone who is going get their Birchbox already?

I got my box today! I am impressed with the sample sizes! I thought the benefit the piece kit would be tiny foils or blister packets, but they are great sizes! that's like three good sized samples! I also tried the stila in beso and LOVE IT! perfect red for me for fall and winter.

Box came!

I got box 1.  I'm actually a little happier with it now that it's here, knowing I'll try most of the stuff (probably tonight! haha). I've already tried the stila lipstick(Beso) and while it's very, very red it does kind of work on me.  It's just deep enough to where I can pull it off, and luckily it's blue-based.

I read on the Derma-e packaging that it can be used as makeup setting spray so I may try it that way, and I'll try the exfoliator and conditioner.  The only thing I might not try is the deodorant swipe.

Sorry to go all cyber-stalker on you, but are you a fellow southeastern PA to DC metro area transplant??? I grew up shopping at KoP and even worked there for like 9 months. And now I work in DC/live in VA! Agree on too many people at Tyson's - I thought I could handle it after KoP, but I avoid Tyson's at all costs!

I ended up getting 200 points for my missing sample, I'm a little sad I didn't get to try the coastal scents eye shadows but now i have $20 extra to spend at birchbox

I wi

I'm still at that weird phase where majority of my friends are starting to think I'm very shallow and simple-minded because I love makeup and have a blog. Not meaning to make this sound sad! lol I'm a tad amused by it, but it IS starting to get old! I have a handful of friends who love makeup too though and some even signed up for a couple of beauty subs like Ipsy and Birchbox! What's even more awesome is I've made a couple new friends that live here in my city that I met ON Makeuptalk! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Love it!

I wish more of my friends were into make up. The ones that are wouldn't do subs or hauls the way I do. So it's me and my 20 y/o daughter. Wheni see a good sale, I stock up on both of our supplies but wish I knew more people to talk makeup with. Sometimes I feel like they are just nodding and smiling at me lol

ohh I think you got the better deal.. you can always trade for the shadows if you really want to try them! there are quite a few girls that don't like CS

I hear you! I'm 26 and work at a "women's group" and sometimes I feel like some of the middle aged and older women I work with don't always approve of my enjoyment in make up. I do it for myself and for a man's attention, I swear!! Of course I'm also the odd one out because I am a BIG fan of my university's men's basketball team and am psyched for football season, which isn't always kosher when your workplace is the #1 Title IX superfan!

Wow!  Those Benefit trio sample sizes are WAY better than the Benefit trio sample sizes I got last month.  Nice!

So it seems sadly my box (48) is missing eyeshadow I had saw a few others with this same issue hoping that BB will send it to me I was looking forward to it a lot

My box had the coastal scents. I did see many people had them missing. They got BB points when they contacted CS because they were out of the samples.

I wish I was missing my coastal scents /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> lol   /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  I would love some more points, after this month I will be at 600

Thank you so much!  I have Dusk Til Dawn coming in a trade, and I was a little apprehensive that it would be too dark, but that is GORGEOUS!!  It looks like the perfect fall lippie for me!  (and is it me or do Dusk & Dusk til Dawn look exactly alike? 

) 

They're similar, but the Birchbox one is slightly darker. But same tones!

My box! It weighed every bit of that .7400. I put on the Stila immediately, and wore it for several hours. LOVE the shade. Not too drying, very nice. I really want to love the Wish body wash. I can't decide, yet. It smells DELICIOUS, but it doesn't lather as much as I like. It helps to just put it right into your hands, rather than on a shower poof. It does exfoliate pretty well, though, my skin is really soft after my shower. The conditioner smells just like Beauty Protector in the bottle. Not as much when on your hair. It made my hair REALLY soft, and it did a great job detangling. The hydrating mist, I'm on the fence about. It says it's for dry-normal skin, and I have oily skin, so I don't think it's the sort of thing I could use every day. I spritzed my face after my shower, and it seems ok so far. The whish deodorant wipe, I'm tossing as an extra with a trade. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> All in all, a great box, very impressed with the sample sizes!

Lucky you! I was missing a sample last month and when I let them know they said they would ship another to my. 3 weeks later and I'm still missing the sample. It was the Benta Berry moisturizer so I'd rather have points.

I just got Dusk to Dawn in my box and was horrified when I first opened it; it looked so brown! Once I swatched it though, I was happy. Also, does this lipstick smell amazing or what?
