I want to go to the one in Seattle! Unfortunately I will probably have guests on that day--and it's probably not really worth the drive either. The goodies would be worth less than the gas.
/emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I want a full report from everyone that goes though!
The way you feel about butter london, I feel about zoya. So many people adore that brand, but it just does not work for me at all. (It won't go on smoothly and it's like it never dries?? It just bubbles and smudges). Body chemistry can be so weird, sometimes.

well I'm a fan of butter london (but I like getting those on sale too)
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.
Maybe it's just one bottle, but the Zoya polish I received in my April Ipsy bag was complete crap! I tried to love it. I loved the color Jacqueline. I used it 4+ times - but each time I've had to re-do more than one nail all over again (base + polish + top) which is annoying.
It's a color from the spring line, so it's not old. The polish isn't thick enough so I have to apply 3 coats and when it dries there's a couple of cracks. I know that I may not be the best nail polish applicator, but if I can get a goopy Julep bottle to cooperate, I would hope I could get Zoya as well. Maybe I should try a different bottle?

You should bring your guests to the party! I'm driving 2 hours to the Boston one. (Although I'm making it my Boston shopping and dining day). It's a day with gal friends.
That's interesting. I actually got Jacqueline when Ipsy sent it out and loved it/didn't have any problems. You could always try another bottle or it might just be your body chemistry, like gemstone mentioned above. I've definitely come across people who never gotten a bottle to work for them.
How do you check box variations? I am trying to see them where on the Birchbox website is it? I went back through the threads to find from when someone posted but I think they deleted it
Ahh, I wish I could! Unfortunately they're male, so I doubt they would find it quite as alluring--if only they had BB man stuff too! Maybe I could convince them to do something else in Seattle while I go, though...there's plenty to do in the city, after all!
Quoting to bump the list of box links! Up to 6 now

I've only used Blu of these, but I agree that it is harder to work with than my other Zoyas...but, I contribute that to being a light pastel creme, as I haven't used one yet that wasn't streakier or harder to use than other types of shades.
I have that weight but I haven't received my box yet. I'm curious, did you get model co. last month?Originally Posted by AshSangre /img/forum/go_quote.gif
Has anyone gotten a .4890 box? I am trying to see what I could have possibly gotten

I remember Zadidoll posted all 65 variation links yesterday... I don't think they were live until tonight.
