Birchbox August 2013

[brittneygg]

I passed my DDF stuff on to my little sister who is 14, she was visiting from at that time that my July box arrived and had a few zits so I 'experimented' on her, well I never got the stuff back, because it totally worked!

Lots of fun stuff this month!

I agree, the shipping has improved. I got my CEW boxes in less than a week (even before the shipping notice went out). Normally it takes almost 2 weeks to receive an order from BB. I live in Seattle

This'll be my 14th month with Birchbox, but I haven't gotten my anniversary gift yet. I think they told me a week ago that they're mailing them out in a couple weeks, so hopefully I'll see mine by the middle to end of August.

I got mine in my 14th month.  The email said nothing about being for a specific month, and was just a thank you for being a subscriber for more than a year.

I'm convinced they send them out specific times of the year and include 13th-15th month-ers, or something like that.

I'm not sure I'd ever pay full price for the DDF though since I don't get enough blemishes to justify it. i'm still bumming over the e-mail that they won't be getting more bobby pins in stock :[

Try amazon for 26 bucks I couldnt say no. I didnt want to spend 44 with my skin nit at full out break all the time. They only had 6 left in stock when I ordered

[brittneygg]

seems like this month there are less 'spoilers' or is that just me??

 

[SamAsh]

Yes! 

I want a clicky truck! I feel like I'm going to get a great box this month for whatever reason.

My TJ's had a lot of DDF too, so looks like its pretty across the board! Which is nice, I always feel bad recommending things I score there, since it may have just been at mine. :/

I live in New Jersey and go to two different TJ Maxx's, I see DDF and StriVectin products in both all the time. I used to pass that section by until I saw someone else post about finding Elf brushes there so I decided to take a look and now I always breeze down that aisle. I see at least 3-4 luxury brand names every time. You just have to get lucky.

Oh and if you live anywhere near a pricey neighborhood go to their TJ Maxx. The stuff you can find at a discount (think Kate Spade $$$ range) in those TJ's is off the charts. The shoes are still in the boxes!

let me know how the dermablend concealer works out! i have horrible dark undereye circles and been eyeing it for a while

I have to use a high coverage more liquidy concealer under my eyes, it's the only thing that works for me unfortunately /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  BUT, that doesn't mean that it wouldn't work on you!

After a few days of use, I have to agree with BisousDarling on this one. Dermablend is creasing for me under my eyes, even with some eyeshadow primer. I also found it really tricky to blend this concealer into that area, partially because it's in a stick.

Otherwise I'm finding the coverage to be average. I was hoping it'd be a bit heavier (I get lovely dull brown/red marks when my acne is healing. Have a spot that's been around for almost 2 months now and is STILL seeing itself out!!

) and I didn't find Dermablend to cover any better or worse than Benefit's Erase Paste, which is the only other concealer that I've used. I do like the texture and the shade of the Dermablend better than the pot of Erase Paste I have, though! Dermablend is less tacky, and I think it goes on a lot smoother.

I got the key chain too, there was no card with it to explain what it was from though, and at the time I didn't know they sent them out. I got an email like a week after I got the keychain saying that I should have received/would receive a keychain and what it was for. My coupon code was in that email.

I got the key chain about the second week of the 13th month (maybe the 14th?) I think, and the email around the same time. They didn't send a card with the key chain.
