Shattered glass! Birchbox, you shouldn't have! 

I'm pretty sure that stuffing 2 glass samples in a pillow box together probably wasn't the brightest idea. I've already sent them an email about it. I really hope they just give me points because I'm certain I have smelled enough of that perfume to last me a lifetime. 

Oh no! hope they give you some points and send a new box.

The more I see this color the more I like it so pretty!

I just got my box, 33 as expected. It's an okay box, nothing exciting. The shampoo and conditioner will go in my travel bag, the nipple balm will get some use this winter when chapped lips set in, and I may - may - be able to use the Dr. Jart in February when my skin is at its lightest. The Ruffian polish is gorgeous, and I'll use it for sure. Funny how the thing I was least excited about turns out to be the highlight of my box.

Has anyone gotten box 20?  It has:

Beauty Protector Shampoo and Conditioner

Supergoop

CC cream

Jouer lip gloss

The picture hasn't updated and I'm trying to see what color the nail polish is.  I'm placing an order and want to get Delirium unless it's in my box.  My box shipped end of last week and takes a while to get here.

I haven't contacted cs solely because I don't want another one - I'd just trade it and I kind of don't want to have to ship it to someone in a trade since it obviously doesn't travel well. The demand for it on the swap list keeps making me double minded about my decision lol
You should email them! I emailed on Fri with basically the same situation not really expecting anything. On Sunday they said they'd send out a replacement, but today I got an email saying they had run out of replacements and gave me 100 points instead. I like the spray, but I already have one from Lush that I also use, so I'm happy with points too!

It really is the perfect fall color. I'm digging these polishes far more than I expected to. I got hedge fund from a friend who didn't like the finish and I might try that out tonight!

i'm pretty sure I kept seeing that variation with the fox hunt on instagram, i'm 90% sure after taking a quick look again

I got off the waitlist for a September box.. like I need it.  My gift sub came in (welcome box) and my normal subscription.. whatever.  I'll pause after this month!

 

[kawaiimeows]

and now i try out hedge fund! it kind of has this weird matte finish to it, so my friend gave it to me. i didn't see it when she told me that, but now that i'm wearing it in bright light, i totally get what she is saying. i personally love it though, definitely a "vintage" looking polish.

My Fox Hunt seems to be doing well (no noticeable chipping yet). I tried the Benefit Sugarbomb (lip gloss) and it's definitely less sticky than other glosses. However, I really don't like the scent. It kind of reminds me of cherry cough syrup, definitely not my favorite. I will still wear it but I'm glad it's not full sized.

Got my box today. Box 27.



Feeling pretty meh about it.  I will say the blush colors look pretty from the little swatch on the back!

I'm sure you are right.  I just didn't want to wear it at night and risk waking up with him sniffing my mouth!  I wore it again today - it's actually quite nice - and when I got home he hopped on my lap and started purring.  He is not a lovey cat, so I think he really likes lanolin.

I got my box today. It was expected the 14th but since I'm in Colorado I assume the flooding made things a little tricky. Love the ruffian I want them all after seeing them on everyone. It goes on so smooth and pretty. The eyeko mascara has great color pay off I'll have to wear it all day and see how it is but I may be in love. Dr.Lipp kind of feels like putting on super thick Vaseline but its not really a bad thing. The Amika I traded because the last thing I need is volume but I think it is a great size and really pretty packaging. And I don't really use BB creams. Overall I am stoked about the 3 items I like an love this box!

I have a non-lovey cat too, maybe I'll have to repurpose my sample as a kitty love potion! Hah!

Love my nail polish! I think i neeed the purple one too after seeing pic of it here.

Finally got box 41.  I was hoping that I got the wrong box like everyone else, lol (box 42).  I'm looking forward to my nail polish and the grand central beauty product #skincarejunkie

i know right! my second box was a total dud to the extreme, and thankfully i'm trading my shampoo/conditioner off for the mally mascara! i'd been wanting to try mally products and i'm fresh our of mascara so, one woman's trash is another's treasure! bahahah
