Birchbox August 2013

It told me in the cart when I checked out. Btw ladies if you're 10 points away from redeeming your points (for example you have 90 points and you want to get to 100) cancel your account and rejoin instantly. It works for me lol.

Gotcha. No check out for me. I just updated the exp date and seen the charge the next day.

I 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.

I generally don't want lippies either but I did want the more nude colors and the sheer pink model co. More subtle fits me better plus it applied like a tinted lip balm. I got the laqa also and was able to trade that easily for something I wanted.

boo! my box page didn't update either, and I still don't have shipping. hopefully later today or Monday.

Me either. I have gotten stuck with no box info on the tenth for the last few months. I know that I should get irritated by it, but dammit, it's so hard to be on this forum and be patient! I swear, if we get some nasty leftovers box....

Box 1 has 6 products...woohoo!

Benefit hello flawless- totally wanted to try this!!Miss Jessie's rapid recovery treatment- I love Miss Jessie's and always love hair treatments

Miss Jessie's sweet slickback- see previous comment

Tea- love tea!

Coastal scents quad (I don't mind this especially since I have 6 items) and i like the nice pigmentation of coastal scents

Arcona cranberry grommage- call me crazy but I've dont know what a grommage is...I'm assuming lotion. I could always use lotion and the full size if this is $44 so maybe it's a great grommage...lol.

Total win for me!!!

Box 2 is...Dr Jarts BB- I will try any BB cream as I am always on the lookout for a HG product.

No 4- heard great things so I'm happy with this. I love the beauty protector spray so I'm excited to compare the two.

Tanning wipes- not the biggest fan, but I tried tanning wipes I got from my blush mystery box and they were awesome. So maybe ill give this a try one day. Or maybe I will give them to a friend who gets bb- she got one in her box and this way she would have enough for her whole body. We'll see.

Foot wipes-meh but I go to the beach so they will get used

Model co lip stick-excited for this- I hope I get a good color

Overall happy with both boxes!!!

The gommage is a scrub!  If you went to the item page, that's the first thing they tell you /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

"Named after the French word for “scrub,†this luxe gommage treatment can help us score the same enviably dewy complexions as our friends across the pond. Winner of a “Best of Beauty†award from Allure, it’s a spa-grade exfoliator you can use at home. A potent blend of salicylic acid, volcanic minerals, sucrose, and fruit enzymes works hard to cleanse, exfoliate, and purify, providing your skin with major antibacterial benefits."

New to MUT - though I've been reading this forum for months!   Got a great BB this month and I just had to share:

https://www.birchbox.com/shop/birchbox-1/august-2013/august-2013-bb22

Love the variety! A little makeup, a little skin care, some desperately needed hair hydration - this box might be trouble for me!  

Happy birchboxing ladies - may your clicky trucks bring you everything you desire /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

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" />

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?

My dang box page hasn't updated yet, so nope /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> if I don't happen to get any lip stuff (or even if i do hehe) is there anything in particular you want to trade for?

 

[gemstone]

I'm getting box 35:

https://www.birchbox.com/shop/birchbox-1/august-2013/august-2013-bb35

overall I'm pleased, but I'm so bummed about getting coastal scents /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I will stick around to see if it becomes a thing, but if this is the direction bb is taking I might be done with it.

Ipsy sends this stuff out so much, and it is only worth a few cents anyways, will I even be able to trade it??

 

[jannie135]

I got box 29 in my first box. My second account hasn't loaded yet.

Yesterday I received the box right before I left for my beach trip::

https://www.birchbox.com/shop/birchbox-1/august-2013/august-2013-bb29



I got Dreams Nail Lacquer 2 in 1 Base and Top Coat, Juice Beauty Oil-Free Moisturizer, Foot wipes, Show Stoppers (really? Ugh...) and the Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick in Beso.... which I would normally be excited about if I didn't already have 2 from ordering something at Sephora.
Can't wait to see what my second box has!

 

[meaganola]

Let's see what I'm getting on the first account...  Oh!  Box 1 (the real box 1).  Yay!  That was the main one I wanted!  I was going to buy the color item if I didn't get it in my box!  Whoo!  I love that formulation but don't buy that sort of shade in the spring/summer when I went on my big shopping sprees!  And no ModelCo!  I wasn't impressed with it last month.  Let's see what I'm getting on the second sub...  Box 1 on that one, too.  Looks like some profile-tweaking is in order.  And swapping.

Me three! The only thing that I am like "what the...?" about is the mattifying gel. I have dry skin and this is the second time they have sent me a product like this. I am wondering what size the Stila is.

I didn't like Whish when I tried the blueberry mess.  So I don't have high hopes for this box?  Maybe I can trade some stuff though.  Also I think I've gotten a lip color in every subscription box I've had for the past 4 months.

 

[kawaiimeows]

I hate going to the bb tag on instagram now and seeing the cute/awesome euro BBs. If I had a friend in Spain/France/UK I'd probably cancel my US sub and just get theirs every month bahaha.

 

[jkfinl]

How do you know what box number you have? Mine weighs .5030, any box twins?

Click on the photo of your box on your box page and it should have a number in the URL.
