Ladies who have been to a birchbox event before:

Did you have to show up early?  Did you stay the whole time it was happening?

i go to them fashionably early and leave before time is up, lol. never had an issue.

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!

Love it!
Seriously, I don't show my makeup collection to my friends because I know they would think it was time for an intervention or something. People that don't have the same love for makeup as we all do just don't get it!

I got my box today, and I'm pretty happy that I finally got a non-bright-fuschia lipstick! (Mine was Red Velvet).

I AM perplexed, however, that I got the Miss Jessie's stuff, considering my hair hasn't been curly in years and years and years. I try not to complain too much about the Birchbox "system," but...cmon.

I knew they were sending the Miss Jessie's out to non-curly subscribers when they made a point in the spoiler video of saying that it's good for any hair type.

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.

Pretty!

Ahhhh, I must have missed that video. Somewhat less perplexing then. Still a little annoying, but at least a little less confusing.

That red goes really well with your pretty blue eyes. I'm so jealous /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Go to your box page >> scroll down past your box contents for this month to the list of all the boxes you've received >> click on the picture of the August birchbox!

In the URL it will say what number it it

Thanks, gemstone!!! I never would have figured that out!

Now if I would just get my darn shipping confirmation so my box would get to me already...I'm so antsy!

My box is missing the coastal scents shadows.. I emailed them about it. I also got the lipstick in disco fever. Sadness, I can't wear that shade to save my life.

I thought the party proof lipsticks were pretty sheer?  Maybe it was just me, seemed like anyone could wear them with a light handed swipe.

No need to show up early or stay the entire time. Though, keep in mind that there will be a limited number of free Birchboxes <-- I'm only stating this because the RSVP's are still open, meaning that these events may be crowded (for reference - the NYC BB events are usually 'sold out' within an hour of the eventbrite e-mail invitation).

Here are a couple pics of my free Birchboxes from recent BB events.

Caudalie event:



Joie event:

See you later Julie! Can't wait for the Juice Beauty box!

I'm worried that RSVP's are still open- every time I've been to a BB event they close almost immediately, whether you pay or not!  (The Benefit event was definitely worth the money I spent on it.  It was a treat- but I don't regret it at all, loved the night I had and the products I got!)

I'm planning on leaving work at 5:30 and showing up there at the Chicago event right around the time it's starting.  At the Benefit event we couldn't get our Birchboxes until the very end.. I'm interested to see how they do this one!

Is anyone going to the San Fran/Palo Alto event tonight? I'm sure this has already been discussed, but forgive me for not wanting to dig through all 77 pages

I agree with your agreement !  LOL  

Feeling judged by too much makeup and no one understands except us makeup enthusiasts!  

Hoping to make some new friends tonight at the Ann Taylor event in Houston!  

 

[kawaiisofoxy]

All the MUT-ers should have a secret signal so you all can recognize each other!  I wish I lived close enough to attend one of the events!
