My ModelCo lippy sets arrived today.  I haven't opened them yet, but assuming no issues with the order I'll do this for you tomorrow!

No clicky for me yet

.  I really, really want the Modelco lipstick in "Kitty" ! The Cailyn eyeliner is incredible, it's my 2nd best liner (1st best is Eyeko Skinny Liner).

 Here Kitty, Kitty Kitty!

Does anyone know if you have to be 21 to attend the events? I noticed it says cocktails are served, but I want to attend. Boo for being under 21.

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.

Box Twins!  I actually loved my box.  Kitty was a little too pinkish for me - I'm fairly tanned.  I'm going to try it again tomorrow after I use a lip scrub.  I had a crappy box for July, so I'm glad to get decent sized products that I can use!

It doesn't disclose.  I would register and presume that they will be checking IDs at the door.  Usually events are good about disclosing if it's 21+ only.

I've only been to the NYC Birchbox events, so i don't know if this applies to Birchbox events in other cities, but they don't check IDs at the door.

I doubt it since I think they're all in Anne Taylor stores.

Another question about the events, What do y'all wear??

Probably will just card you if you get a drink.

If we're going to the BB events we should wear some sort of insignia so that we all know we're on MUT.

I received my box today even though the delivery estimation was August 12th!

Here is what I got:



1.) Dr. Jart+ Premium BB Cream SPF 45+

2.) Jasmine Seven Fresh Feet Wipes

3.) ModelCo Party Proof Lipstick in color Kitty

4.) Number 4 Super Comb Prep & Protect

5.) Beauty Extra: Miss Jessie's Original Super Slip Sudsy Shampoo

Overall, very pleased with my box! The box weight was: 0.5300

Oh and here are the swatches of the BB cream (which is a perfect match for my skin) and the ModelCo Lipstick in color Kitty (very pretty color)

Soo I still don't have my clicky truck. Yipee.

That's what I was thinking.

either way, yes! i love trying new nail polish brands!

but yeah, on the makers website, it says they're .18 fl oz, isn't zoya like .5 or something? (too lazy to check my bottles that are packed up to move back to georgia).

The bottle is gorgeous and the reviews look great!  But it looks hella small.  Like you have enough polish to do two sets of fingers and toes MAX.

LOL 22 DOLLARS?

if i'm going to spend more than $10 on any nail polish, it better have the name lippmann attached to it.

well I'm a fan of butter london (but I like getting those on sale too) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> but seriously. Other than Julep or other 'high-end' polishes, they better have amazing finishes no other brands have. The thing is, I probably would've even been okay paying $5-6 for 5.5mL, but so many brands are very... eh

i want to love butter london, but the few i have i wasn't impressed with formula wise. but i'm always looking for sales on it to try and get some more colors. i basically feel the same way, paying that price for cremes is just unjustifiable, which is why i only fork out that kind of money for really unique colors.

i don't know HOW nail polish companies think they can get away with charging that much for basic colors when you can get the same thing from zoya or essie for $8, and those have been my favorite everyday brands when it comes to formula, application, and staying power.
