Seriously, it's so odd to see Coastal Scents in a Birchbox and on the site...

Yep. And they are almost never full price. They replace one sale with another sale.

I have nothing against Coastal Scents at all BUT I don't want it in my Birchbox. I am starting to see way too much overlap with Ipsy on products and brands for my comfort.

I finally have a clicky truck, but the info isn't available yet.
For sure. I'm pretty sure I already have 3 out of 4 shadows Birchbox is sending out from a previous Ipsy quad...Originally Posted by MissTrix /img/forum/go_quote.gif

Agreed. Some overlap is bound to occur, but Coastal Scents and Cailyn? Hmmm...I have nothing against Coastal Scents at all BUT I don't want it in my Birchbox. I am starting to see way too much overlap with Ipsy on products and brands for my comfort.Â
Cailyn has actually been sampled in other boxes as well, so it doesn't surprise me to see it pop up in Birchbox. Coastal Scents on the other hand... no. I don't want stuff like that from Birchbox.
mmhmm, the Cailyn products are nice but the markup is ridiculous. I don't mind getting Coastal Scents in my BB, but I personally don't really have a line of distinction in my mind between BB and Ipsy as far as brands go...because while Ipsy has a reputation for including lower end brands, I've actually gotten plenty of high end brands from them too (and I've gotten protein bars and ziploc bags from Birchbox), so it just kind of blurs together for me.

Oooooh, I didn't realize that it was the same. I've never ordered from CS, I just get their stuff in my Ipsy bags. Not that CS is horrible, I actually think that the shadows are pretty well pigmented, but it's nothing that I want to see pop up in my Birchbox. I agree with everyone else though, I think that there's starting to be too much overlap in the boxes. I see that Birchbox has DermaE this month, which Ipsy had last month. Ipsy sampled Coola, which Birchbox had done. Now the Cailyn and the Coastal Scents... too much similarity!
I do think BB reads more high end than ipsy, which also seems like it targets a younger demographic. Maybe it's just BB's superior branding, marketing, and site, but I associate BB with well established, bigger beauty companies and the niche brand here and there while ipsy focuses on white label brands with a few mid-end exceptions. I do like and enjoy both for different reasons, so I'm hoping this brand-sharing trend is short lived. Maybe BB is having difficulty getting new companies to work with them? I hope not!mmhmm, the Cailyn products are nice but the markup is ridiculous.

I agree with the "reads more high end" but I don't really know if I think it actually is, as much as it used to be! I still like BB, but I don't think the products they send out are as consistently high end/deluxe/whatever as they used to be, and those that are are getting smaller (they used to promise no foils!) And I'm not one of the ones who generally gets the coveted brands, so my perception might be different from someone who does

Oh lord. I need this.
Tea is a hot beverage (unless you ice it later which is too much work), and I get SO MUCH tea in my subscriptions. I just can't fathom drinking a hot drink in the summer. Frappuccinos only for me! Although I drink hot tea maybe once a year, so tea bags instead of beauty products just bum me out. I wish some of you tea lovers lived closer to me. I pawn it off on anyone who will take it!Originally Posted by DorotaD /img/forum/go_quote.gif
I don't see anything wrong with them sending tea in August. Don't a lot of people drink coffee every morning? Some of us prefer tea insteador maybe just me lol
Good idea! Lots of rain soaked shoes coming my way in the next couple months.
