My gift account box surprised me today, 4 days early!
No.4 Super Comb & Protect - I wanted this last month so I am super excited to receive this!
Dr. Jart+ Premium BB Cream - I have always heard great things about Dr. Jart+ bb creams so I will give this a whirl.
ModelCo Party Proof Lipstick in Dusk Til Dawn - Happy to get another lippie but I'm not sure this color is right for my skin tone. May have to trade.
OC8 Professional Mattifying Gel - Not sure I have any real need for this. As someone who has skin on the drier side, I have never had an issue with shine.
Birchbox Bobby Pins (grey) - I still haven't used the green ones I got last month but I also don't really wear green so maybe this color will see some use.
Overall, I am pretty happy with this box! I'm still waiting for a clicky truck on my main account. Hopefully it will update soon!

I've already FB messaged BB about my broken lippy - probably a result of spending all day in a hot mail truck!
I'm happy because the one thing I really didn't want was the Tan Towel.
I have the same weight .5250 but I don't think this is my box because I got number 4 last month. I'm hoping for all the eyeliners haha. Guess ill be trading. So excited.

Box Wt: 0.44
What was inside:
1) Dr. Jart BB Cream (45 spf) - at first it seemed rather pale on me but it warmed up nicely. Smells really nice and makes my skin soft
2) Jasmine Seven (feet wipes) - I am mixed about this, but will come in handy - will be thrown into my handbag
3) ModelCo Lipstick - I would have LOVED this except it is a really awful orangey-coral kinda color (Disco Fever) - did a little swatch on my (clean) hand and decided that it will go in with my grab bag for others to go through.
4) Violet Oasis (100% Organic Argan Oil) - will like to try this in my hair when I straighten it tomorrow before work.
5) TanTowel - Biggest disappointment for me. Again this will go into the grab bag. I know there are two camps on this type of product...I wish they offered an option on such products (I think Ipsy does this)
So 3 out of 4 products is not horrible.
I got a full size product - (although the "full size" actually comes in a set of 3 in the store)
The oil - is enough to be able to figure out if I like it.
Wish the BB was a bit bigger.
Wipes - they gave me two.

Yay! My second account's box came in! I got...
- ModelCo lipstick in Til Dusk Til Dawn (totally a MLBB shade for me)
- Violet Oasis Argan Oil (Yay, I want all the hair oils!)
- Miss Jessie's deep conditioning treatment foils (I am looking forward to these too)
- Juice Beauty Moisturizer (I've already found my HG moisturizer so I don't think I'll use this) - Bobby pins (I don't use bobby pins, so these don't add anything for me but I do think they're cute)
Really happy overall! My main account's box will probably get here Saturday. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Can't wait!
Edited because I'm a terrible speller.. haha

palo alto is not san francisco. lol got all excited but i'm not driving out there...
haha I thought the same thing! but I'm going, since PA and SF are about the same distance from me anyway! I'm too curious, and my cousin loves Ann Taylor so she's coming with me.. if anything, hopefully I'll score one of those complimentary boxes!

I thought I'd let everyone know that right now until the 11th I thin Ann Taylor is having a 40% off sale using the code TRENDS40

Just hope I don't get tan towels!

So excited to get my birchbox early!!! Not sure which box it was but the weight was 0.5779.
I'm glad I got the It's a 10 because I'm too cheap to buy a full-size of it /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
It makes up for getting the two different wipes & BB cream. The lipstick was in "Kitty" and looks pretty neutral for a rose/darkish/pink tone, so I hope it works with my fair skin.

Ditto! It's called PENNISULA! Maybe they did that bec there are more BB subscribers in that area? I'm in East Bay
I'm from the Peninsula and we don't EVER call that San Francisco. So misleading.

I think I got the punishment box. The frizzy hair cream is something I need, but a deodorant wipe? Foil Packets of mattifying gel? I got that eyeliner from Ipsy and hated it. I find Whish products pretty cheap, too. Hopefully I'll get a better one next month!

I don't think it looks like a bad box, but I really like Cailyn liner and I"m interested in the Whish correcting gel. I hope I don't get the OC8 packets, though, I have a full sized tube and I rarely even use that. I'm cool with the deodorant and foot wipes, I just pray I don't get the tanning ones!Originally Posted by chachithegreat /img/forum/go_quote.gif
