Anyone else try the miracle cream foundation? its a tint more with built in primer, hydration and some other stuff i can't remember.  I'm really wanting to buy it but its 48 bucks.  anyone know of a similar foundation? It left such a nice matte finish on my face

YES!! Loving this cleanser. I have dark spots and acne scars and they are already so much lighter, plus it controls my oily t-zone

Well I got my box today, I went to go try out the Mary-Lou Manizer highlighter, and what did I find? A huge fingerprint smack dab in the middle of the highlighter. Kind of gross.

 

[JackieO]

The same thing happened to me! I emailed BB about it. I will let you know what they say! I agree it's pretty gross to feel as though the samples we pay for are already used.

Okay. Still no shipping confirmation on my replacement box, email, or phone response as of today. I called BB about five times today, all going to voicemail. It's been a goddamn week. I'm kind of pissed off now.

I had my mom open my boxes for me on skype today and she said my Mary-Lou Manizer had a fingerprint in it too!!! I got two of the same boxes so one highlighter had a fingerprint and the other one didn't. I think someone that was packing the boxes decided it would be funny to open up the samples and touch them.

I quit BB after the October Goop box I got. I haven't felt the "wow" factor with BB for a while. I was going to quit after the Sept box, but decided to wait for the Goop box. For the $120 yearly cost I can buy the product formulas and colors I want. I've gotten some good stuff from BB the last 11 months, but they've been too few and far between. I resubbed to Glam/Ipsy and have been enjoying that since they've improved their product. That's now my only beauty sub.

HOW IS A FOIL SHAMPOO/CONDITIONER 2-3 USES????????

or foil face wash??? of the dot of lip gloss?????

they are seriously {redacted}!!

Yeah, I don't understand that one either. A foil packet of shampoo/conditioner might be 1/2 a use, but 2-3 full uses? I don't get it.

I had a fingerprint on mine too! And my Mox lip butter was unscrewed already. I emailed them and they gave me $10 in points for free /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I guess it depends on the length/thickness of your hair. With foil packets the size of the Nexxus ones that were sent out and the LiQWd ones, I can get 3 or 4 uses out of them since my hair is very fine.

I have to agree... I usually use a quarter-size amount of shampoo and conditioner each in the shower, and a large pea-size amount of most face products. Keeping my usage the same when I sample, those foil packets usually do last me about 3 uses. I have longish (past my shoulders) hair, but it's thin. My skin is combination and prone to breakouts, so I usually use any face product sparingly. Folks with thicker, longer hair or drier skin might use twice or more what I'd use.

Birchbox finally sent me an email. They said that they are changing warehouses right now, and there has been a delay in shipping. They also said they're "positive my box will be sent out in the next few days." I got 50 points for my trouble. I told you guys I wasn't going to get my replacement box until November.

50 points when october is almost over? and some got 100? can always count on birchbox to be inconsistent.

Aw well,  would you rather get points or a new one? I told them I preferred to get extra points so they just gave me extra points not a new one. I'm planning to clean the surface of the products that was touched and opened with a sanitizer.

Maybe i'll see if they already mailed a new one and just ask for points instead.  i dont like that there wasn't a safety seal on a lip product
