Still no clicky.  They must be digging around the BB office throwing in some paperclips and post-it notes to outdo the suck of the gum and Furlesse tape I got in the last 2 boxes

not so omg, they look like half sized bottles as a brand

yep -- http://flossgloss.com/collections/lacquers/products/glowstar 5.5mL that's nearly $22 to a full sized nail polish. : these companies. the nerve

I buy so much polish that I can't remember the last time I paid full price. And I wouldn't pay that price for that polish.

Ulta usually has BOGO Free on butter LONDON around Sept. with a limit of two sets. Last year GMA had a deal with sets of three for less than half price so I got all four sets of those.

Zoya is hit or miss with me. They have sales all the time so that's when I get them. They have free bottles of polish, discounts, and free shipping. My favorite is the Earth Day sale in April (I think?). Polish are half off and free shipping with $ (not sure but think it's 20+ or so) purchase.

I'm sorry, does that say complimentary Birchboxes?  I live about an hour away from Boston and really want to go now.  Too bad it's from 6 to 8pm.  I have a dress rehearsal that night and can't miss it.  *epic pout*  I hope Birchbox does more events in Boston.  I usually only go there for Handel and Haydn Society concerts.

When I went to the Benefit+Birchbox event a few months ago, we got $30.00 off of a purchase (I think? That champagne will get ya.) if we bought 3 products they gave us a free full size lip gloss (I had to.  I was one product away, I got the chacha tint as an impulse, and it might be one of my most used products ever.), they did our makeup and waxed our eyebrows, and we walked away with Benefit Birchboxes for free.  It was amazing.  $45 for a ticket, I spent probably $60 while I was there, and I came out with over $200.00 worth of product and my makeup done, and my eyebrows waxed.  And all champagned up!  I'm going to every Birchbox event I can get my hands on!

I have this same box too. I wish it would come earlier! I leave tomorrow for vacation for 12 days!

Ooh I hope yours ships quicker!  Having it come on vacation is the worst!

I get all the reds. Which would be fine if they didn't all look almost identical. When I do get pinks or corals, they are the wrong pinks and corals for my skintone. You just can't win! lol

I still don't have tracking or a clicky truck on my main account. I have this unreasonable fear of being forgotten when they take this long to ship mine. 

I caved and just went on my lunch and bought two of the Rimmel Kate Moss oranges because I'm so tired of all of my reds and bright pinks!  Walgreens had them on sale.  Now I'll probably get all of the oranges I could possibly want in all my boxes haha.

Yup...was thinking the same thing elizabethrose... Chicago here also /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Ooh!  Are you going to the Ann Taylor event downtown?

 

[PeridotCricket]

I dont /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

No tracking here either. It's so hard for me not to get impatient when I see other people getting their boxes and I don't even have a tracking number. I need to remember, they don't have to give me anything until the 10th. Wait for the tenth. 10 10 10 10 10 

ugh! this is torture! Got mine super early last month so now this feels like its taking extra long

Any tea can be iced tea!

hahahah you have a point!!

I got my box on the 10th last month. Super Early. In June I peaked at my box page after I got the box but before I opened it. In July I opened it before I looked at my box page. But for August I don't even have a clicky truck yet, so tomorrow morning I'm gonna be stalking the Bb website and refreshing the box page like 100 times.

Ugh. I got my box. showstoppers designer fashion tape (one packet what the hell), supergoop advanced spf 37 anti aging eye cream (can't use spf things, anyway I can mark this so they STOP sending me the crap?!?!?!), ModelCo party proof lipstick in disco fever (coral, I must trade this asap), Juice beauty oil free moisturizer, and jasmine seven fresh feet wipes (2) This box was kinda blah for me. Guess I have some stuff to add to my trade list at least...

 

[evildrporkchop]

Box has arrived! 0.5150 weight.

Spoiler

Foot wipes. eeeekkkk!

I got the same box today. Not bad, but not great. Looking forward to my second account. I feel like I'll be drowning in ModelCo lipsticks this month.

Noooo... I'm almost positive that's my box, I can't wear coral if my life depended on it. I look like I belong in Clown city!

It's not an extremely orange coral. There is some pink and beige to it, so it's a calmed down version.

It's a very wearable color.

Unfortunately, I'm not. The guy I am seeing is leaving overseas next weekend on a one year teaching contract so we are spending some time together before he goes (I'm so sad about it)... otherwise I would go (and welcome the distraction!).
