Weight was 0.4740 btw. Okay box, except for a little mishap haha


Model Co lipgloss in Showgirl Red
Jouer perfume sample in Cornucopia
Lulu Organics Hair Powder (which i'm most excited about)
Sumita liner (my cap was missing and it was completely dry so I emailed them today)
and LE was a cranberry soyjoy, which, if you enjoy fig newtons, you'll like it /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
That actually sounds like a good box...(despite the mishap)....

Sigh. I got my box today. Which is amazing, because it's the earliest I've ever gotten it. But this month, I wish I had been in a later wave of boxes. Figures. I got tthe ModelCo Mascara, Jouer Fragrance Cornucopia, Lulu Organics Hair Powder, étoile Diamond Dust Polish in Frosted Berryy, and....a frickin Cranberry SoyJoy bar. It's not a punishment box by any means (the mascara alone is full size and wortth 24 dollars) but it just isn't that great for me, personally. I use mascara, but it's not a favorite item of mine. I have fairly long lashes and don't really notice a difference when I use different mascaras. A 5 dollar one works as well as a 30 dollar one for me, so while I appreciate getting a ffull size item in my box, I would have sacrificed the mascara for aa smaller sample of something I would love. The Jouer perfume is the cutest thing ever. It's a teeny tiny rollerball. It smells like an actual flower, which is great, just nott for me. The dry shampoo is ok. I'll probably try it. I've used dry shampoos with less than optimal results (and scents! Why do they make them smell so bad/strong?) Hopefully I'll love this one, I've heard good things. The nail polish is a really pretty berry color with very fine, subtle sparkle. It is a little darker than I usually go for, but as far as nail polishes go (I'm not a huge nail polish person) it's a good pick for me. Then there's the SoyJoy bar. Grrr. I have been wanting to try the Chuao chocolate FOREVER. ESPECIALLY the Honeycomb kind. I found a code to order from their website and could get a sample pack for 2 bucks, but shipping is THIRTEEN dollars. No way. Birchbox has a sampler on their site, but it's in the old Chuao packaging and I'm afraid they're been sitting in a Birchbox warehouse forever aand won't taste so great. Hopefully. They'll put up new stuff since they're in boxes this month. Meanwhile, if anybody doesn't want their chocolate (ha! Longshot, I know.) I'll take it off your hands! Sorry ffor the super lonng post and the lack of pictures! I can't post them from my phone. Hope you all love your boxes!

The John Varvatos sample that comes in the boxes isn't a spray bottle, its a vial, so you would have to dump it on his clothes

Haha, or dab it behind his ears before he wakes up in the morning.

I actually have my fingers crossed that I get your box!! I would have fun with everything in it except the food bar, but I'm used to having to give those away so I don't really mind that much given the other items in the box (though I wish they would stop sending food out!)

They have the chocolate at Market Of Choice if they have those where you live /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> they are amazing. Oh and I'm also curious what your box weighs I would freaking LOVE this box. Mascara and nail polish are my 2 fave items.

Whar was your box weight?

Question about welcome boxes again... If I bought a 3 month subscription to an account that I've had already, would I still get a welcome box? Or does it have to be a completely new account? I really want that eyeko box lol

 

[MissLindaJean]

I know BB finally put all the color shades in the shop for the Eyeko liners! Dunno about the gift sub part, though.

 

[LyndaV]

Anyone else having trouble with purchasing from the BirchBox site? It is letting me add all the items but giving me a totally non-sensical price total. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />.

Double check that you didn't add multiple of an item. I placed an order earlier tonight, with no problems. Maybe the store site is glitchy again.

I kinda want the brown, but im not an eyeliner girl.

 

[LyndaV]

Must have been glitchy because I just went back & it is fine

 

[vogliadivintage]

I think since I've gotten every other blue polish they've sent out, destiny has it that the pale blue etoile Winter in Central Park polish will end up in one of my boxes.  noooooooo!  Everybody look out for lots of blue polish on the trade thread when I get back to the states!  

 

[vogliadivintage]

i don't know about you all, but for some reason i am extremely excited about seeing the page of things in my boxes!  i can't wait!

I got the hair powder a few months ago, and I love it. It works nicely and the scent is subtle and disappears quickly. I can't stand smelly products!

Also, because I hated the packaging, I dumped the packet into a sifter jar so it stays clean and dry.

 

[emilyyygloria]

My bb is out for delivery! I'm so excited.

Close, but not close enough though. I should have mine this afternoon though, and I also got the Mox last month as well.
