Just for fun, I tried doing TRYFLING and it said it was expired. Aw well.

Yes, I'm so excited! Now that I look at the others, though I also really want to try Eau Fling and Yogini too... hehe. I've never smelled any of the HP scents before. But they all sound really nice. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Every time I have ordered from them they have thrown a couple of samples in with my order, so I bet you'll get to try something else, too /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Eau Flirt and Eau Fling would both be great for fall, they both have just a hint of spiciness (but I wouldn't call them spicy scents).

I got my box today!  SUPER excited!

I have straight hair and am getting the Miss Jessie's Original Super Slip Sudsy Shampoo in this month's BB.  I was confused, so I went to the product page:  "While it's especially coveted by the curly crew, our experience confirms that it's great for hair of all types and textures."  I'll totally give it a try now /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Awesome!  I'm excited to try it.  I hope it works really well, because my hair is really dry right now.

Also: for anyone who is curious, I'm pretty sure I used it to get Eau De Lite. Great perfume, very similar to Skinny Chic but a bit mintier if you liked that one.

Thanks!

dang, i was one of the first to get my clicky truck and here I am still boxless. 

my box was supposed to arrive today according to the shipping estimate so I checked at noonish, bc I almost always get my mail by then and nothing...so I go to check my tracking info and turns out there was a notice for "attempted delivery" at 8:45 PM last night with delivery confirmation required. whaaaa

not only was I home, and not only do I not believe my mail lady (or any for that matter!) works that late but now I have to call them to pick up or arrange redelivery 

 gahhhh lol

oh yippee!! I seriously cannot wait. The samples are 8 ml too, that is a REALLY good size! I have a 7ml spray of Forever Red from Bath and Bodyworks that I got last fall, I use it all the time, and it's still about halfway full.

Waaaaaaaaaaaah, Birchbox NO MORE TAN TOWELS we like to be pale!!!!!!!!!!! Not that excited about the rest of the box either. Blah. But I did get an awesome mystery pick 2. Algenist and Boscia Cleanser (almost 2. Ounces)

Woo I love to try new tanning products! So as cub as you dislike them, there are those bod is who enjoy them, so my guess is they will continue to send them out

has anyone gotten box 28 yet? If so, which color lipstick did you get?

 

[lexxies22]

I'm way behind with this posts. I haven't gotten my BB yet. I'm getting box #44. One of the items that I'm getting called Boo Boo concealer. I looked it up to read description because I've never heard of that product. It said that if you had cuts (minor) or bruises on legs or arms so if you have to go to a party or events or whatever so you use Boo Boo concealer to cover up on wounds rather than Band Aids. Interesting concept. It said that the ingredients helps to speed up the wound's recovery. Well, I'm not sure if I would use it but wonder for spider veins or zits? I'm trying to be creative to get it use out of it. Any thoughts??

Thanks for the tip! I went and used this code and added a Hello sample too. If I like these, I may have to spring for the rollerball set if Birchbox ever gets it back in stock (I know it's on the HP site, but I would want to use an anniversary code and use points for it).

I also went and tried this for all the samples that they had, it looks like TRYFLIRT and TRYAGELESS are the only ones that will work.

Also, I looked at an old MUT thread and some people said that shipping was $3.50, but the cheapest shipping available to me (Standard, 3-6 days) was $6.50. Any ideas? Am I just far from their shipping center?
