Finally got a clicky truck, but tracking info hasn't updated. Box info hasn't updated either. The suspense is killing me!!!

Derma e Hydrating Mist with Hyaluronic Acid

Whish Exfoliating Body Wash
...Meh.

EDIT:  My info finally shows on tracking.  Box weight of .7400

This is what I'm getting, same box weight. I'm curious what weighs so much! Must be the conditioner, right? I'm excited about the Stila and Whish body wash, at any rate. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I'm worried what the Derma e mist will do to my oily skin, though. BB is determined, it seems, not to give me products for my oily skin. Kinda maddening. Last month I got the Ceramidin cream, which I liked, but still. Mattifying gel? Um... yes please! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

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!

Yay! I am getting the Stila too, and I was really hoping I'd get Beso. This gives me hope!! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I got my box today!  SUPER excited!

I got box 36, and this is probably my favorite I've gotten so far!  I really REALLY wanted the ModelCo lippie in Kitty, and that's what I got.  Not sure why they are sending me stuff for curly hair, I'll have to recheck my profile.  But I'll use the hell out of it anyway!  I'm really excited to try the Argan Oil too.  The Correcting Gel smells awesome.

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

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

  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.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Box twin! I love it too. Actually except for my first box, I've loved all of my Birchboxes.

I got the same products and I have straight and superfine hair, but dry and damaged. I'm going to give them a try on Sat morning when I don't have weekend plans. If my hair goes limp, it should be OK by Monday.

Box twins! Whee! I am beyond thrilled with this one, though it's not here yet so I haven't seen the one variation. But SO HAPPY!!!

I agree about the tan towels. This my 2nd time to get, but of course different brands. The reason I don't want them are the opposite of yours. I tan easily and prefer to do it naturally. This needs to be on the beauty profile please Birchbox!

The mattifying gel comes in ketchup packets??? I was going to try to trade for that. Not anymore. Glad you posted this! I'm getting the Whish body wash too, I like the sound of the description of the smell, so I can't wait to smell it!

I just got my box! I wasn't expecting it until Monday, so it was a pleasant surprise. Unfortunately, the Purlisse exploded all over the cardboard packet. I'll email them about it, but everything else is fine and the navy eyeliner looks really pretty. It reminds me of a Mac eyeliner that I used up a long time ago. I'll be interested to see if it really makes me look more awake. The correcting gel smells really interesting. ETA I put a picture up on my instagram Piscesmind /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

yeah i was a little disappointed in the ketchup packets. i'm going to guess that one packet is probably good for one use.

That's lame. At least they gave you two.

kawaiimeows - what was your box weight?

they've been good about that lately, i'll give them that. i think my favorite foil packets thus far have been the caldrea lotion ones back in march. i got three in one box and they were MASSIVE. got a good three uses (at least) out of just one.

.5100 !

I actually like foil packets, I get tons of uses out of them!  I get 3/4 uses out of even the tiny ones.  And, I use tons of product on my face, especially for moisturizer.

yeah i really don't mind one way or another in the end. the lotion ones i got last month didn't do much, but others have gone pretty far. the ones from last month are *similar* in size to these ones, so i'm going to make sure i have something to put any leftovers in before i try using the mattifying gel, just in case i can get more out of it than i thought.

Yupp, but if I get the mattifying gel I am going to be pretty upset.  I have super dry skin.  Even lotions make my skin look flaky.
