FREE Rimmel Full-Size Lash Accelerator Endless Mascara – First 2,000 (TEXT OFFER) TEXT MASCARA to 467467 – MUST BE FEMALE BETWEEN 13-24

Text "mascara" to the number. It replies, asks you your age. Say anything under 24. The it asks your home phone, it figures out your address, boom, done. Mascara! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Do they think women 25 and over don't wear mascara?

Then go to your cart, scroll to the bottom and type the code "TRYFLIRT" in to the promo code box. It will give you the sample (BIG sample) for free and you just pay shipping.

Also make sure to go to the shipping area and select the shipping you want, I think some ladies accidentally paid more for a quicker shipping last time.

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 for posting /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Birchbox has officially made me a Harvey Prince addict. Every time I wear Skinny Chic people always ask what I'm wearing. I don't think I've ever gotten any consistent reactions with another perfume before (maybe they're trying to give me a hint about my other perfumes, haha!)

One thing I want to point out that people may not have noticed is that the sample is 8.8 ml like some of their other perfumes, but the samples are "Eau de Toilette" and the $21 and up perfumes are "Eau de Parfum" which usually lasts a little longer (its more concentrated). Still amazing to try the scents (and I think I'll be ordering the Eau Flirt) but it likely won't last as long as an EDP would. If everyone already knew that...my apologies for the repeat of info

Okay I'm WAY behind and don't think I'll ever catch up. Anyway, on the account that has shipped, I'm getting box 24. Not really excited about ANY of it. The only thing I might even be interested in is the Dr. Jart, cuz I've tried every one BB has sent and loved it, even bought the waterfuse, but ended up going back to my Bare Minerals.  Not excited at all for towels. And especially not to get two towel items in one box. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Here's hoping my second box is better. Nothing has updated because I paid for it late, so now I get to wait lol.

I wouldn't mind trying the tan towels but they only send 1 and it says on the package 1/2 body. So, do you need 2 towels to do your entire body or can you stretch 1 ?

This may be because I am groggy, but where do you find the samples for this?? Have been looking with no luck.

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.

There's a tab at the top that says samples http://www.harveyprince.com/shopOnline/samples.php

Box page finally updated! I'm getting box 14: https://www.birchbox.com/shop/birchbox-1/august-2013/august-2013-bb14


Funny thing is, I was really hoping for a ModelCo lipstick from the classics collection, and now that I am getting one, I'm bummed it's not Kitty from the neutrals collection!

Depending on what shade actually arrives, I may try and swap for Kitty.

Does anyone know how many packets of face wipes or buffing beads BB usually sends out? The face wipes I'm not so anxious about, but I'm SO SO SO excited to finally get the Wei buffing beads!! And I will be so bummed if there's only one packet of those in my box, since the BB site refers to the packets as "single-use."

https://www.birchbox.com/shop/birchbox-1/august-2013/august-2013-bb16 Got box 16 waiting in my mailbox at home can't wait to go get it today. Super excited about the eyeliner although I think I may have liked the mally more but can't wait to try. Also excited about the curl keeper I love anti frizz serums and it seems affordable. Other than that my other things will be up for grabs. Was kind of hoping for the lipstick since I didn't get it last month but no such luck. May have to try to buy disco fever off someone since I don't need the trio. Or give the other 2 away.

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?

Looks like the price went up, I think it's $6.50 for everyone.

I got Ageless  (it was listed as Ageless on my BB page but I received Hello) Hello in 2011 and liked it a lot so I'm glad to see they're bringing this brand back. I have it checked on my profile to get more perfume. I only have one more Juicy to sample before I've received them all and hope they don't come out with a new scent anytime soon.

I can't figure out how to do spoiler on my iPad? Hmm. Sorry... I got my box on Friday before I left for vacation. I got the kitty shade, which looks pretty. It was too hot from sitting in the sun to try before I left. But, it at least didn't melt like my LAQA lip duo. And, I think I'll use most of the other items in my box.

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.
Yes! This is my box so hopefully I get Kitty. That's the shade I've wanted to try since I saw them last month. If this works for me I'll get the set /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Now if my tracking would just update...

Thank you so much! I have been having box envy everytime I see it in someone else's box. The code wouldn't work for Fling or Yogini, but I got Flirt. I really love spicy orientals and dark berry, so I'll have to get my hands on them some other time. I got Ageless in my box, once. It was too citrusy to be "me," but fun to try.

My boxes just updated and I'm getting 2 of these boxes.  I'm happy with this box (I just wish it wasn't dupes)   I wonder what color the lipstick is.  I was really hoping for Kitty so if I can't trade one of these for it I think I'll just buy the neutral from the shop.  I already have Naked from a trade but I really want to try both Kitty and Dusk til Dawn.

If anyone get this box can they post what color lippie they get?

Box page is finally updated! It was worth the wait. I'm getting box 3. Six item box! 

Juice Beauty Green Apple Peel Sensitive-I've been wanting to try this.

Whish Coconut Milk Correcting Gel-Not something that I'm real excited about, but I'll give it a try.

Whish Hair Inhibiting Deodorant Swipes-Again, not real excited, but if I'm going to get one of the wipes, I'd rather have this one than the foot wipes or tanning towels!

ModelCo Party Proof Lipstick Trio-I was so sad I didn't get this last month, so happy I'm getting it now. Anyone gotten this box know what color you get?

Miss Jessie's® Original Rapid Recovery Treatment

Miss Jessie's® Original Super Sweetback Treatment-I'm always on the hunt for a good deep conditioner, so glad I get to try two of Miss Jessie's!

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??

Ok I was able to find more information about Boo boo concealer. I don’t have a boo-boo: Can I still wear Boo-Boo Cover-Up on my face? by BOO-BOO COVER-UP on APRIL 1, 2012 Yes! Absolutely yes! The beauty of our formula is completely safe for the face. We say that it is for the body because it is less transferring, longer lasting and is more water proof than the typical concealer for the face. But at the end of the way, our formula provides beautiful, matte coverage that rivals any of the traditional concealer brands out there. And think about it: with Boo-Boo Cover-Up, not only are you concealing blemishes and evening out that adorable visage, but you’re actively infusing your face with deliciously healing and repairing natural ingredients like aloe, chamomile, green tea, tea tree oil and vitamin E. Now that I'm curious to try since I've never been much of a concealer person. I've been fortunate that I don't have circles or black circles. Maybe I could try to cover up veins that is barely there as you know that I only see it as no one notices LOLOL
