Birchbox August 2013

[wadedl]

I am getting box 34. Somehow the most exciting thing to me is the deodorant swipes. I think they would be great on those hot summer days that all of a sudden you smell something and realize it you! I bought a bath and body works deodorant once and ended up using hand sanitizer while I was out and that burns!

My box just arrived! I received Box 7

Show Stoppers Fashion Tape (I am so MEH about this lol...gum, pen, fashion tape, can I be done with the silly stuff, please! LOL

Juice Beauty Oil-Free Moisturizer (hmmmm, interesting to try)

Supergoop! Anti-Aging Eye Cream (once again, hmmmm)

Jasmine Foot Wipes (insert eyeroll here)

ModelCo lipstick in Disco Fever (the saving grace of the box! hoorah! SO excited!)

 

[jkfinl]

You're. My box twin. Feel special?

Box 57 on my second account. Not bad! My main sub hasn't updated yet.

I'm also getting box 57, I got 53 in july

My August box...



Excited to try the BB cream (hopefully it's not too dark for my skin), and the lipstick. I already bought a full size Beauty Protector Spray, so really no need for the new heat protecting spray. Foot wipes? Uh.. whaaat? And don't even get me started on the tanning wipes... I love my pale skin 

A mixed bag this month!

so that's what you can fit in the keychain. i can't fit anything in it. i'll put a chapstick in there when i get home tonight. i also have a bad habit of licking my lips too.

It's pretty much the only thing those keychains will hold, and it's a perfect fit hahah.

My box came today! I got box 56. This is my first box that I've disliked in a while, so I can't complain, but...meh.



Juice Beauty moisturizer - I love this, but I already have a couple of tubes. More can't hurt, I guess!

Jasmine 7 Fresh Foot wipes - I go barefoot all the time and so these will be put to use.
TanTowel - I KNEW I WOULD GET THIS. a complete waste for me.
stila liquid lipstick - Had I gotten this in a pink shade I'd be all over it, but I am so burned out on red lippies that I'm not even going to open it, I'll either trade it or put it in the circular swap box. Everyone wants to send me red lately, I can only wear so much! lol
Coastal Scents quad - I love coastal scents and these colors are pretty! But I have so much coastal scents as it is...I have several of these little quads and I never reach for them! I always just use my big palettes!

I like my pale skin too. Just because I'm fair doesn't mean I want a self tanner.

I remember someone commenting that they are highly allergic to jasmine, so they were dreading the foot wipes, but... I just checked out the ingredients. I don't see any jasmine in there. The line is named after the founder's daughter, not the flower, aside from the possibility that the daughter might be named after the flower. You should be fine.

Yep, I was coming to post the same thing /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> They are minty, not jasmine-y! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I have the item that you're concerned might be too dark. Got it in a set that had each version of the product. Two of the four are lighter and that's one of them.

Agreed, all the way! Oh well - I'm sure I'll find a friend or co-worker to gift these to.

Dang it, my makeup item in both boxes is the stila lipstick I already got the same as a full size VIB perk last year. What on earth am I going to do with three red lipsticks... God I feel bad complaining about getting makeup.. maybe they sent some variation?! 

Would have loved the itsa10, Icon replenishing spray, number 4 the unique1, I love hair treatments. (I feel bad secretly cursing BB the one time they sent me two conditioning sprays back to back, i secretly loved it... more more more please)

Oh, and the hydrate me beauty mists look adorable!

OMGGG THERE IS MERMAID SPRAY, GIMMEEEEE

I've only seen the stila in Beso and the info card says "wearable red" in the description, so I'm not sure if they sent out variations or not. I would have loved one of the pinks, I'm swimming in reds right now!

I love hair treatments, too, and was hoping for it's a 10...

   ​

 ​

All that survived is the foot wipes and the tan towel.  Everything else is crushed... 

OMG! I am going to have nightmares now!  lol

 

[ttanner2005]

Does anyone know what the size of the ARCONA Cranberry Gommage sample is?

OMG. we should have a memorial service. Hope you get a nice replacement box and points.

I got my box!! And, crazily enough, I LOVE IT!

 


Another 6 item box! Number 43. Seriously the only complaint I have is that the ModelCo lipstick I got is super dark (Dusk Till Dawn), but I've been dying for the ModelCo, so I won't even begin to complain.
