Atelier and Harvey Prince have been my favorite BB perfume brands so far. I added 'more perfume' to my profile specifically for these. I also really enjoyed Annick Goutal but they don't send that out as much as they did a year or so ago :[

Very disappointed

Never really expected to see coastal scents in Birchbox.

OOooooo, I actually LOVE that box

 

[page5]

I'm receiving box 52 which is pretty good. BB seems to think I need lots of hair help, this box has two hair products! I have received 1-3 hair products per month since January and I honestly am burned out on hair products. Anyway, this is the best box I have received since April so I won't complain too much, just hope the sample sizes are more than one use.

 

amika Obliphica Hair Treatment 890 $34.00

Juice Beauty Green Apple Peel Sensitive 499 $39.00

stila stay all day® liquid lipstick 5 $22.00

What a great box indeed! I love the Amika. It makes my hair soft, frizz free and easily manageable!!

I'm getting box 24.. kinda disappointed because it states clearly on my profile that I have oily skin. Bb creams don't work well on me just make me more oily. Last month I received that hydrating cream for dry skin... I don't understand why I keep getting useless products. Thinking of canceling my subscription but some products I've received I love and others I really hate. I also love the points system! Can't make up my mind.

every month i read all the posts and try to find out which box i am getting, but still cant figure it out.

can anyone help me in finding where to find the box i will be receiving.  Mine usually comes mid month.

I see posts that people know the box # and items way ahead of when items are posted.

i have checked and they have posted the contents of my box, where do i find the box #

I will be getting box 15

Whish Coconut Milk Correcting Gel
 
Whish Hair Inhibiting Deodorant Swipes
 
Mally Beauty Evercolor Starlight Watercolor Eye Liner
 
(MALIN+GOETZ) vitamin e face moisturizer
 
uniqONE All In One Hair Treatment
Sorry. I know how it feels to get a box you just don't want. Personally, I would have loved to have tried the Coconut milk correcting gel. I have mild rosacea and I love the smell of coconut, so this appeals to me. As for the Malin, I could use more moisturizers right now anyway--at least, those made for nighttime without spf. I may be in the minority, but I really did not want to get the Mally. Their eye liner may be ok, but I got a couple shadow sticks in New Beauty test tubes last year and I am not a fan. That's the only Mally stuff I've ever tried, so it kind of turned me off to the brand. As for the uniqONE, I think I'm getting that. I was excited until read the ingredients. I think I'll stick with my Number 4 vegan spray, especially since I just bought a full size kit from them on that same account. The deodorant wipes? Eh. Not terribly exciting, but practical enough that I'd give them a go, especially if they really do slow hair growth! But I hope you have better luck getting stuff more up your alley next month.

I'm getting box number 34

https://www.birchbox.com/shop/birchbox-1/august-2013/august-2013-bb34
I tried the eyeliner.  Does anyone know if you are supposed to sharpen it?

 

[Leilanroof]

I found it in the page source.

Northpalmbeach, I could be wrong as for other people, but as for me, I obsessively go through all the box combos to find my match, lol. On one account, I am getting box #14. I haven't found my box # match for the other account because it came to me on Wednesday or Thursday, super fast, and before box pics had loaded anyway. Zadidoll posted the links on here. But the easiest thing to do is to start with the first link, for box #1, then just delete the last number and change it to #2, then #3, and so forth. After you do that, do NOT mess with the browser tab. You can then just use your page forward and back arrow buttons at the top to look at all the pages. Find the one that matches your box, and voila, the number at the very end will be your box #. Time consuming for sure, especially since there are around 55-65 boxes this month, something like that. Hope this helps though.

Go to the page with your box contents and scroll down past the contents for this month to Box History. Click August 2013. This will take you to a page with your box contents shown. Look at the URL for this page. It will look something like this: https://www.birchbox.com/shop/birchbox-1/august-2013/august-2013-bb18 The number at the end is your box number. This is the URL for my box, so my box number is 18.

OOooooo, I actually LOVE that box

It's funny how every month I see at least one person that hates a box I would have loved. I guess it's just all subjective /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

That's why people should do box swaps /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Ah, so there IS an easier way than looking at all the boxes. Of course, I'd want to look at all the boxes anyway, lol, but it is always good to know the shortcut! Thanks Bellatrix

So... this morning I emailed the Harvey Prince people, and asked if there was any way they could add a tiny sample of Eau Fling to my box, or a card just sprayed with it so I could just see how it smells. The sales woman told me they didn't have any samples of Fling, but if I wanted to go ahead and place another order for Flirt, use the same coupon code and just pay shipping again, she would manually make the change to Fling, that way I could get one of each. I couldn't pass up that offer! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Then she replied and said she'd give me a sample of Coupling, if I made some posts about it on facebook/twitter, and liked their FB page. I laughed and said I actually already made a post on here, AND another trade group page I'm in on facebook. I told her I have no problem gushing about polite/swift customer service... especially on a Sunday of all days! This company seriously rocks!

I tried to review the Stila lipstick and there's no link. Does anyone else have this problem?

I don't have a link either. I hope it is just a temporary glitch, I want my ten points.

I'm not able to, either. I already emailed them about it last night!

Oooh good, I love Fling! It's a really addictive scent to me.

Coupling is nice if you like gardenia! On me, that's the dominant note...I ended up giving it to my mom because she is obsessed with gardenia and on me it is just okay.
