Birchbox August 2013

[littlemissvixen]

i haven't seen anyone else with a .48 box weight...are you out there, box twin? /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> i'm sending out lipstick vibes into the universe since i didn't get a modelco last month but really wanted to (i got box 3) ...fingers crossed! i wouldn't mind that stila liquid lipstick either!

This will be my first Birchbox.  I got an email saying I was off the waiting list, and then I went and entered my billing info and now it just says order processing for the last two/three days.  Is this normal?

Yes it is normal. Do not worry it will be any day now.

LOVE this stuff

Had been thinking that I don't need another lippie, but that color is so pretty.  Fingers crossed!  Still no clicky truck.

Oooo... I have that! I would love to get it in a different color! 

Here's another size comparison...

It's a really nice size for a deluxe sample! The color is called Beso. 

How does the Soft Matte Lip Cream compare? I've been thinking of getting one since it seems like a cheaper option (probably the shade Antwerp. So pretty).


Comparison under spoiler...

The Stila dries almost immediately so you have to be careful when applying, whereas you have a couple of minutes correction time with the Nyx. I also find that the Stila bleeds unless I use a liner but I don't have that issue with the Nyx creams. Stila has the better longevity, once I put it on it lasts forever. I have to reapply the Nyx periodically, especially after eating. They are both drying to the lips so I use a balm over top to add moisture. I have Nyx in Amsterdam and Sao Paulo, both are gorgeous! I only have Stila in Beso. It's a perfect blue based red.

In related news, Stila Liquid Lipstick in Beso is a near exact dupe of Lime Crime Velvetine in Red Velvet.

Suki scrub question: I tried my sample last night and it was quite dried up so I scooped some out and mixed it with some water before applying to my face. It was so rough and harsh. The chunks of sugar are so big and rough. I was expecting finer sugar like the Simple Sugars scrub. Is it supposed to be this rough? Is there something I can do to soften it up? Has anyone tried mixing it with some argan oil?

Hmmm...my suki wasn't like that at all. It was quite moist and not at all scratchy. I wonder if you got a bad batch? I know there were others who ordered from Birchbox and had gotten some dried out jars. You might want to contact wherever you purchased it from.

That's not how it's supposed to be at all! My sample was gritty and wet, but it didn't feel abrasive against my skin. It feels really nice and works well. I know alot of people were saying the same thing about theirs. You must have got a bad batch! I think I heard that some people were putting water into the container and letting it sit for a while and it softened up to how it's supposed to be.

Hopefully this means there is very little chance of me getting two of the same box again this month /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

My suki I ordered from beauty sage was dry like that /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I haven't used it yet. I wonder if I should contact them about it. I had googled pictures but most of the results looked like my jar so I didn't think it looked off till reading the above comments.

The Stila dries almost immediately so you have to be careful when applying, whereas you have a couple of minutes correction time with the Nyx. I also find that the Stila bleeds unless I use a liner but I don't have that issue with the Nyx creams. Stila has the better longevity, once I put it on it lasts forever. I have to reapply the Nyx periodically, especially after eating. They are both drying to the lips so I use a balm over top to add moisture. I have Nyx in Amsterdam and Sao Paulo, both are gorgeous! I only have Stila in Beso. It's a perfect blue based red.

In related news, Stila Liquid Lipstick in Beso is a near exact dupe of Lime Crime Velvetine in Red Velvet. 

Thanks. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

That's because they're not up yet. Maybe in the next few days.

Zadi, are you rejoining us at BB? /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Maybe.

As much as I hate the foils, the tiny samples, the sheer amount of variations... those darn BB points have me hooked. I made the analogy last month on my FB wall that it's like a bad boyfriend. You know the boyfriend hasn't been a good boyfriend, you know you should dump him (and do but end up taking him back) but you just love the boyfriend too much and are willing to put up with the bad boyfriend. LOL This is me and Birchbox, Birchbox is the bad boyfriend I dumped and took back.

Suki scrub question: I tried my sample last night and it was quite dried up so I scooped some out and mixed it with some water before applying to my face. It was so rough and harsh. The chunks of sugar are so big and rough. I was expecting finer sugar like the Simple Sugars scrub. Is it supposed to be this rough? Is there something I can do to soften it up? Has anyone tried mixing it with some argan oil?

If you use it in your shower, the warmth and the moisture in there should help moisten the sugar and dissolve it a bit so it's not so hard. But having too much water in there will dissolve the sugar completely and you don't want that to happen either.
