Uh Huh Her
If I recall correctly, November is Birchbox's anniversary month. I just hope that they send out something *useful* this time around if they do send something anniversary-themed. That bracelet last year was absolutely ridiculous. They teamed up with Color Club for exclusive polishes, and then there's the Jouer Birchbox pink gloss, so I'm crossing my fingers for another partnership with a company that can produce a neat exclusive item for this. I think my dream would be a philosophy three-in-one shower gel. Something bright pink with sparkles and smelling like either cake or champagne would be just about perfect for this, and I know philosophy does great things with these sorts of scents.
As for receiving boxes after the points window closes: I got so annoyed with this that I would go ahead and do feedback on those items with all-neutral answers and a snarky comment about how I couldn't review the item in question before the feedback window closed because my box hadn't arrived. I did this when they sent me the wrong box, too (I was *really* annoyed with that one: Not only did I not get the correct box, but they didn't even send me a *complete* box!). I also put a comment about how there wasn't enough product to really try if they send a tiny sample, like shampoo in foil packets. I need to try hair and face stuff at least three times and preferably for a week before I can tell whether something works, so one single packet of shampoo or a teeny tube of eye cream with enough to try twice -- if we're lucky -- does *not* cut it. I get cranky about this stuff. If they want usable feedback, they need to send us enough stuff to fully test, and they need to get it to us in time to test it before the feedback window closes!

I totally agree! Love, love, love that stuff! The different tastes are part of what makes Birchbox so exciting for me... something I may love, another may not, and vise-versa. It's always a surprise, and always exciting

In a hint video recently, I think September when they did the Matte tint, they did say it, jou-a (like ah jou, and a in April). Check out 1:28ish where they talk about it
/emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjdyYy8VF3c&feature=plcpIt was news to me! I always called it joe-er. And I love their entire line! About time I said it right

The Skin Savior is amazing...I bought a few of the One Love Organic sample packs and I absolutely love their line. I would also like to try the Chia Whip; maybe they'll sample that next month! It seems plausible.

Wow, congrats! I would love to start a blog! But there are so many good ones out there and I would not be able to put the time into it to make it good!Originally Posted by JessP /img/forum/go_quote.gif
So I know there is a love/mostly-hate relationship with Twistbands as discussed on the Birchbox threads before lol but wanted to share anyway! I signed up for the 3-month sub for $13 from a Plum District deal a while ago and have blogged about what I've gotten every month - this month's insert card featured one of my pics from my blog which I thought was pretty cool. It's the pic on the top left corner!

I googled to find out what it means, because I'm annoying like that. According to Wikipedia, 'The name Stila (pronounced STEE-la) was derived from the Italian word "stilare," which can mean "to pen". Stila's official website is quoted as saying that they chose that name because they believe every woman’s makeup should be as individual as her own signature.' That's kinda cool! =)

I looked it up on wikipedia, and this is what it said
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stila
*woops! someone beat me to it!!*
if anyone is interested in the phonetic transcription of anything, I'd be more than happy, as I am most certainly a word nerd

Yep, I was able to leave feedback all the way until October 9th on September's contents.
