Birchbox November 2012

[quene8106]

btw- on a side note, I saw some posts about honey straws.  They are fabulous.  You must get them.  Check out Lovewithfood.com.  I got them in my box last month and am seriously considering buying more!

Hmm...so they do spy on us here, lol.  Hi Crystal!!!

You absolutely need them! They're also awesome for yogurt...Greek yogurt with walnuts and honey is my favorite snack.

No! I said that about the straws!

Nope. This month was my 2 year anniversary, and I haven't gotten anything - ANYTHING - since my 9 month discount.

 It was a web browser issue;  Resolved!  Bought some products, used my points to pay the balance and only paid $1.86 for tax.  Love the FREE SHIPPING! Now that's what I'm talkin' bout!

So I made two separate orders on my two different accounts & used the Twistband promo code last week. Got both of my orders & no Twistband in either. Anyone else use the code & not get theirs either?

Mine looks like this as well. I got my main account box 3 days ago but my second account is still in transit.

I got my box today!  Finally a box that wasn't too depressing!  

I LOVE the Oscar Blandi spray.  UNGH....buying it.  The gloss is alright, I like my one from ipsy better though.  I also got the hand soap...useful but sort of meh as a sample, really...soap doesn't make me want to throw my hands in the air with glee, but it doesn't make me want to run for the hills either.  The men's perfume....whatever.  And the Rose OLO serum...smells nice, good sample...won't buy it though.

Mine looked the exact same - no movement since the 14th, due on the 19th.  Got home and it was waiting for me today!  Of course, I'm in PA.  Got box 20.  =)

Finally got my box today! This is my second month with BB and I must say, this month is definitely better than last month. I got the Put a Pin In It nail polish and is super duper happy. When I peek into my account (I totally caved on the day BB posted up our list >_&lt, it showed up as a blue polish so I was a bit hesitant because I was hoping for Pin In It. But once the box arrived, that's what color I got. I'm still confused why though because the pictures of the actual sample boxes shows a different color when compared to the full size list that showed in my account.

Didn't try the other stuff out yet and I'm not feeling the perfume...

 



Oh! I am in love with the mascara! I normally don't use mascara because I'm more into eyeliners. But wow, this mascara add lengths without weighing down my lashes. I tried it on and my mom thought I had falsies on. Freakin awesome! I am definitely thinking about repurchasing once I'm out.

All closed up (no idea why these uploaded upside down.  LOL)



Top open. You can see where there is still room in there for my replacement packet meds when I get to the store.



Everything spilled out.  The safety pins and $20 are in the little blue zippered jewelry pouch.  (The dollar I put in there the other day because seriously, when I'm out and all they have are vending machines, I NEVER have a single.)

That's last month's ispy gab its in my purse too

I'm been really impressed with the company ModelCo.  EVERYONE is RAVING about the mascara and I love, love, LOVE the gloss/lipstick that was in Glossybox.  (I'm getting another gloss in my Birchbox - hope it's a different shade!!!)

I see that Sephora has the brand on their site now - so it looks like they'll be available in Sephora soon!  W00t!

Ive been using the mascara and its pretty good! Not the best, my HG is still stila stay all day, but I hate the wand.  the formula is amazing though. This modelco one is nice, but my lashes dont hold the curl that well with it.

Looks like it.

Hopefully they'll restock soon!

I tried it tonight and I love it! It got rid of almost all my blackheads. EEP!!

Can anyone tell me how to use the little thingy of hair powder I received? I've never tried anything of the kind before. It came in that little pillow box everyone was talking about. Irish the line on the box about giving to someone special then read the powder packet: "For hair on days of unwash." And I pictured my best friend smacking me in the mouth for giving her something implying she had nasty hair!

Its so funny how different people's body chemistry is and how it affects makeup! For me the model co held my curl for a good 12 hours (about to take it off right now actually, and there still super curly, but I absolutely hate stila mascara! I wanted to love it and bought some and tried a sample of another, but it won't curl my lashes at all and it rubs off so easily I look like a raccoon within 30 mins. Thankfully there are so many products out there so there is something that will fit us all
