I am getting box 54 (would post but I can't figure out spoilers on mobile!). It's okay but I'm really sad that got the one item I didn't want: the liquid lipstick. :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I am allergic to avocados and avocado oil and the lipstick has avocado oil. So sad that I can't use the best thing in the box especially since the rest of the box is not very exciting. :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
ok normally i don't complain too much about my birchboxes lately, but this one takes the cake. out of all the boxes that had one makeup item in it, i got one with none. box #4



don't get me wrong these are all cool products that i'd love to use, i'm just getting a lot of "skin/face" related items here. i think what i loved about my past ones is that birchbox did a really good job of doing skin care/hair care/makeup/perfume/misc.
 
I'm getting this same box but I'm happy. I would have been excited if I got the lipstick and it's a 10. I'm tempted to sign up for a second box to get them. Can someone who got the It's a 10 and Model Co lipstick share their profile?
Beauty knowledge: Newbie I can never have too many: hair care, nail polish, skincare For me fragrance samples are not my favorite Extras: tool, organic, wellness I'm signing up for birchbox for: samples, experimenting, no time to shop, how tos and tips Beauty style: classic, low maintenance Hair: straight, thick Hair color: black What I do to my hair: air dry (though I blow dry some times) Ethnicity: Asian Skin tone: medium Skin type: combination Concerned about: aging, acne, sun protection I'm 25 $61k-85,999 My box history so you can see what I've gotten:
800
Hope this helps!

do you not count the beauty balm as makeup? Or do you mean bright/colored makeup?

yeah i'm referring to colors. i mean i consider bb cream "makeup" in the most common sense of the term but it's also a skin care item IMO since it's a sunscreen and moisturizer.

Yeah, I would agree. It's makeup but leaning heavily on the skincare side of makeup. Hopefully next month they send you something with some color. : )

hopefully! i'm excited for each item on it's own so that's just how i'll think about it and not "hmmmmm how should i just to use all of these skin items at once." usually when i get my birchboxes i paint my nails, put something on my lips, then something else on my face then play with some extra they sent bahah.

also: the thought of applying deodorant in a wipe form seems kinda odd. maybe i'm the only one who has never encountered deodorant wipes before.

 
I got box #23Tan Towel don't use

Number 4 prep & protect- will try this
coola -will use eventually stilla liquid lipstick will be good if not crazy color
feet wipes
Any suggestions of how to tweek my profile to not get self tanners? This is my second in 3 months. Not the same brand of course. I have medium skin tone, but I tan really easy. Just got back from Destin and have a tan. Have never used them usually give them to my sister who is not as dark as me. Overall not bad box. I love Birchbox mostly for their point system and their good deals when you order. It is a little frustrating when you see stuff you want in other boxes. Guess just have to order with points.

I would've rather had those also. haha.  On the bright side this isn't as bad as the box I got LAST August (the tanning wipe box aka worst box ever).

 
Looks like I'm getting box #45!

I'm pretty pleased with everything!  I am just really hoping and praying the liquid lipstick is a wearable shade for me.   Last month, I got the Model Co. in Get Naked- a very pretty nude color, but unless I wear a slightly pink nude liner, it washes me out.  The month before, I got the Mirenesse Glossy Kiss in Perfect Kiss- a coral color that BB describes as "soft"  (note: it was vibrant).  I gave it a whirl with the Mirenesse, mostly because the name of the color is the name of one of my fave New Order songs.  I gave it to my mom and it looks great on her.  I decided to take a peek at my profile- I had myself down as a red head, which is true.  Kinda.  Its dark reddish brown.  What are the odds if I email them they can add an "auburn" to the hair color drop down box???

Anyway, can someone please post a pic of the Stila liquid lip color when they get it?  I'm curious to see how big it is!  Thanks!!!!

My box updated and of course I always always always get a lip product but I hate lip products.

The only lip products I use are lip balms and stains but never get these its always lipsticks, lip glosses, lip everything lol.

I really hate this and can't seem to get my profile as to I do NOT get lip products. 

Perfect box would have been

Jealous!! I love lip products!!

 
This is the box I'm getting too.  I really did want to try the BB cream but overall it doesn't seem like an exciting box.  Taken separately they are all neat products I'm interested in trying and there's nothing in there I dislike but you're right in that it doesn't seem as balanced as my Birchboxes have been in the past.   But I guess I should be happy I've managed to dodge the Tan Towels another month haha.

I wish I liked them but I don't last month I got the ModelCo lipstick before that the Miranesse lip stick/stain, Cargo lipgloss. 

Yes I love makeup but not lip products I don't know how to set it so I do get some type of makeup product but NO lip products. 

Do you know what you are getting this month?

I don't like lip products either! I'm gettin the ModelCo lipstick this month and I got a Laqi lipstick in June. I wish I could avoid them as well. I subscribe to Ipsy as well, and I'm really hoping to get the balm and not the lipstick. Two lipsticks this month would be too much.
