Birchbox August 2013

[Moonittude]

My box came 5 days early! The weight was .4300

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Whish Correcting Gel (Uh, what is this for again?) Whish Deodorant Swipe (actually excited for this) Malin and Goetz face moisturizer (I have super dry skin so I'm always down for trying out new moisturizers) pur-lisse skin serum (meh) Mally waterproof eyeliner in Sailor (OMG so excited for this! It swatched beautifully!)

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Woot! I think this is the box I'll be getting too, and I like the look of it. It's funny how they keep sending me full size products, which are a total bargain to be getting, and I'm usually lukewarm about it, because I'm so picky. But when something is right, it's awesome.

This was my box weight, I kind of hope I don't get this because I don't want another eyeliner...but the correcting gel has me so intrigued, I am almost curious enough to take it.

hahahhah love!  I'm sooooo hoping for a box without Whish..is that possible? I just recently tried the whish shaving cream, and was disgusted by it! 

Actually the pomegranate scent is waay much better than blueberry scent. And the dup of that shaving cream is EOS brand in pomegranate sold at Target stores. Right now they're having sale on that for $2.99. It's one of my favorite shaving creams. It's environment friendly (no more aluminum cans)

I got...




Tan Towel

Dr. Jarts BB Cream

Model Co Party Proof Lipstick in Kitty (yay!!!)

Foot wipes - I'll use them

It's a 10 Leave in Treatment.

Over all - a great box!
ETA Box weight was .5800

OMG WHAT?! It's a 10?!?!?! Has BB ever sampled them before? (I don't think I've ever seen them.) I love that stuff!
Why has my box not shipped yet? I'm leaving town on the 20th and I really want it to be here by then!! 

 Patience is a virtue!

Same here, seems like they are on to us lol and want us to be surprised, like last month waiting until the 11th to update box pages, sneaky sneaky BB /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[roxysurfajk]

HAHAHA yeah that was pure pain to wait lol

 

[Missglammygirl]

My box is .5400 has anyone gotten a box that weight?

 

[KayEss]

Box pages USUALLY upload on the 10th, but last month they were having problems so I'm not going to hold my breath for it. Fingers crossed though!

 

[Lolo22]

hahahhah love!  I'm sooooo hoping for a box without Whish..is that possible? I just recently tried the whish shaving cream, and was disgusted by it! 

I actually think the blueberry is the only disgusting scent they have. I have the almond and orange cream body butters and I love them. I hope I get some Whish this month even though I don't really understand the correcting gel or deodorant wipes lol.

 

[teastrong]

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.

My sample didn't come from BB and it wasn't dry. When I used it the sugar broke down immediately and I got a nice foaming cleanser. I had about two seconds with the scrubbing and since they dissolved so quickly it wasn't rough. Sounds like yours may be old, page5.

Has anyone's box changed on the website from July to August? Both of my boxes shipped the other day and are set to arrive on the 12th, but on BB under 'Box' and then 'Women's Box' it still shows July. Does it change after the 10th?
