guuurrrlll lol perfectly normal.

I have a pair of jessica simpson 5" heels that go perfectly with this beautiful party dress I have from modcloth. Like literally the same berry colour. I haven't had the chance to rock it  yet, but when I do I am going to be queen of the ball 

omg those sound so nice <3_<3

I did the EXACT. SAME. THING. today... same color, and used the 100 points I had on the second account (that I started JUST last month to get a second Ruffian polish, and then OF COURSE I had to have the third one!)  I blame sabinebyrne... I was OK with not getting Delirium until I saw her fantabulous mani.  Then I lost my head.  

I also blame being on a low-buy this month, I saw that I could get something for free (and nail polishes are on my "allowed" list) and totally got grabby hands.

BTW, just looked up that dress and it's ADORABLE!!! You are going to rock it!  (and now I need that navy trench coat... sigh).
At first I was like nahhh I won't want purple, it doesn't look that unique. After seeing everyones pictures I HAD to have it. I justify it by telling myself I didn't splurge on Zoya's collection this year (I was really disappointed by it). And aren't the trenches so good!!!! I'm also in love with the tuxedo blazer. Also after putting the dress on when I got home I HAVE to post this picture. This seriously might be Target's best collab.

Ah! I'm so ashamed I forgot to go today! 

I'm so sorry Target. 

If you live in a smaller town, your Target might still have items! Also the website has a lot on there still (it was mostly purses that sold out). Surprisingly everything ran close to true to size. I got a dress, blouse, skirt, and scarf, and I'm literally fighting myself not to order a few things online that my store didn't have (my store had a pretty dinky supply).

Nice hauls!

I'll admit that I went to Birchbox Local more than once.

 Also, I live near one of the hubs of New York Fashion Week, so I happened to come across a couple other events. Here's my entire *free* haul from NY Fashion Week:



Wow!! I should have stayed on top of this stuff. Maybe next year we need a thread for free NYFW events. xD

Hi, how did you find out about this event in NYC? I am pretty new to birchbox and to I just recently joined this forum. I have no idea how to find out about these event but would love to attend if they are in NYC. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Thanks!

 
I think I got an email? Yes, I definitely got an email...probably because they know my shipping address. Just make sure you check all your BB emails, as they have events fairly frequently in the city. I've lived here since June and this was my second one. People usually mention them in this thread, too! =D

hehehe *bows*

By the way, this polish is still going strong. Four days. And aside from where I broke a freaking nail today, it all looks great! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Mine has been going great too! I think that's another thing that's encouraged me to order a bottle.

You're my favorite enabler right now 

 I can't wait to see what it does on me... Polish flees right of my fingernails, whether it's Pure Ice brand from Walmart or my favorite Bondi shades!  I'm about to slap on a few coats of Hedge Fund before I go to bed!

Just got back from the BB pop-up shop in NYC. Super fun! For my box, I picked: - Folle de Joie sample (super excited to try this since I never got one sent to me- I see why everyone loves it!) - Maelin + Goetz b5 vitamin moisturizer - Origins "Modern Friction" microdermabrasion - DDF protective eye cream - Number 4 mighty hair spray I really wanted to try the Mally eye shadow stick but they didn't have them when I went. Oh well- I am super excited for the stuff I got. If only every box could be like this! Oh- Hayley was there, which I thought was really cool. She was talking to a couple of women about the Amika spray and how she uses it. I like that BB really makes an effort to reach out to their customers.

I went Saturday morning while I went to pick up something else. Not crazy busy and Mollie helped me with samples which was cool. She said this was serving as an experiment and they weren't sure about other locations .. But the experiment seemed to go well!

I feel like my choices look lame now in retrospect but I got things that seemed like staples that I've just never got around to trying. The choices where truly overwhelming! So anyway my items: Stila liquid lipstick in beso Beauty blender Brow gel Textured cc Twistband

Hi guys! If you can, take a moment to check out my unboxing for this month! Thank you! 

Mod Edit - Please no personal YouTube channel promoting, per our TOS, thank you!

Spoiler

Amika Bombshell Blowout Spray 2oz
Caudalie Hand and Nail Cream 1oz
Elizabeth Arden Beautiful Color Luminous Lip Gloss in Precious Petal 4ml
Voesh New York Premium Manicure Hand Mask (1/pair)
Ruffian Nail Lacquer in Hedge Fund 5ml



Sorry you can't see the nail polish color...it's the green one.

Yippee!!!! Thanks to some awesome instructions on this forum, I just found my Birchbox clicky truck and am feeling very lucky that this is what's in my first box! With Ipsy taking it's own sweet time to leave Kentucky, I may end up getting both of them on the 19th.

I think your choices look great! It's interesting to see what people choose when they have the option to do so. I was really tempted by the beauty blender and the Stila lip color...

I received box 17 which I was happy to get because I wanted the Hedge Fund so bad but didn't feel anything about the other items.

Hedge Fund looks gorgeous and is wearing fabulously. No chips at all and I am too lazy to use a base or a top coat. But it turns out I am totally loving the other items. The amika Blow Up Spray is great. It smells awesome and gives me the perfect amount of volume. I also broke down yesterday and tried the Dr. Jart  just to see and I think I get why everyone freaks for these BB/CC's. The Dr. Lipp feels exactly like Lansinoh which I also used on my lips back when I was nursing my kids so it will get used this winter for sure.

I haven't tested the mascara yet. Is the brush average sized or ?

 

[bellerenee]

I just caved and subscribed to BB after being an Ipsy subscriber for a few months. I wanted to try them both! My order confirmation says it's shipping by the 26th.

Will I receive this month's items since it's a little late in the month or am I going to get a random sampling of leftovers?

Hi everybody!!! I missed everyone sooo much. It was surprising how much /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I got in a stinkin car accident & was in the hospital for a few days but I got to come home day before yesterday .... I think. The meds Im on are keeping me so foggy Im not really sure when :/ My BB was here when I got home & I fully received the " punishment" box lol oh well. Hey tho has anyone heard from TiffanyLA? I keep wondering about her & hoping she got back to the U.S. safely. I'd be super grateful if anybody knows!

Hi! TiffanyLA emailed me a few days ago to let me know she was on her way back in the US. She's probably recovering right now from time change and going back to work as well. Hopefully, we will hear from her by end of this week.

I'm sorry that you got into a car accident. This is no fun. Wishing you for a speedy recovery! What was the contents in a punishment box? Well hopefully next month could be better and take your time to recover.

 

[lexxies22]

I just flew in to the states last night! You (and all of the rest of these fabulous ladies) are so sweet to have kept me in your thoughts /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

We have!! Thanks for the email. I appreciate it. Can't wait to catch up! Ox

omg. Totally missed the memo that this collab was happening, but your posts just inspired me to buy the skirt in this pattern! SO CUTE.

I just put an order in for the Beauty Elixir and put in the promo for the Divine Oil (seemed like a fabulous deal, since I buy that same size from Sephora all the time), but I was a little worried because nothing showed up in my cart or in my invoice. Did that happen with you?

Yes they just show up. I emailed bb about that.

 

[AshJs3]

I just got my anniversary code and was going to order the big size Juliette Has a Gun perfume and it's out of stock. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Sadness! The smaller one is still available so I guess I'll get that. I wish they had some better stuff in the Bonus Shop before I order. It's slim pickings right now.

 

[hindsighting]

Has anyone had any luck getting BB to use discount codes retroactively? I just got a 21% off code for my 21st month three days after I put in an order.
