I decided to email them since I really wanted a lace twistband and the one they sent me was just a normal black one. Sadly, CS told me they were out of them (wth!?) and instead gave me 50 points. I noticed on their FB page that other girls had the same exact problem. Oh well, glad I contacted them! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

The shampoo has been removed from the bonus shop.

My order arrived today (a day earlier than anticipated) - I got the gloss moderne shampoo (it was on my shipping list) and the mystery pack was:

1. Nexxus rejuvenating hair elixir (0.14 fl oz)

2. MAKE dual-phase eye makeup remover (1 fl oz)

3. MAKE tiny lipstick in maraschino cherry 

The 2 MAKE samples were in a MAKE plastic bag, so the packers may not have realized that there were already 2 samples in the bag.

I received my Gloss Moderne shampoo order today as well and also got the Nexxus rejuvenating hair elixir in my Pick 2. My 2nd sample was the Paul & Joe primer and it came in the cutest little bottle.

Does anyone know if you still get points for reviewing items from older boxes?

I would totally take $5 in the shop over a Twistband! That's awesome.

the make samples are 2 pieces each, same as when they sent them in the boxes, lipstick and makeup remover, and eyeshadow and primer. 

Birchbox effed up a $400 order my best friend made, and on her new packing list, there was a "Ops Pick2" and they had the stuff listed. That 2 pack was one half of one of them.

Cute!  But let me also say that I love your rings.  I haven't been able to track down any like that!

Ok so I know this was more talked about in the beginning of the forum but I have never heard of these ruffian polishes and the fact that they are such a small size and so expensive is crazy! Not really interested in any of the colors...the only color i might keep is the purple. I find the color club polishes aren't bad at all! Actually cc in the purple color "pardon my french" is my new favorite color!  I wish it came in a full size bottle...I feel like I have to collect a bunch of minis  in the color in case I run out! I have had it on my nails since Friday with julep freedom top coat(which i don't think is all that great) and have only had a small chip on one nail. Well anyways that's my nail polish rant ahah

They're a NY fashion label, and AFAIK this is their first time dabbling in beauty products, which to me is an even more offensive fact that doesn't justify the price. I'll gladly take one for free in my birchbox, but I wouldn't even want to waste points on a bottle of nail polish that small. For that price point I'd rather have Chanel

I got my free shampoo today. Yay. My mystery pack was crap though. Put a pin in it Nail Polish that I got in my very first birchbox and traded. Now I have another to put into a trade. LOL Also a fragrance wipe. I have 100 vials that I rarely use. Blah. Oh well. It was totally worth it to get a shampoo and caldrea hand soap for .50!

 

[jkfinl]

Ok, so what are we getting in Sept. super sleuths?

 

[jkfinl]

Oh my gosh, I love the ruffian nail polishes ESP. The green( hot color for this fall) the burnt orange.

Was there no sneak peek video this month? I checked the channel yesterday and there was a video with the founders of Ruffian and some info on the polishes, but no sneak peek! I guess we'll have to wait until the 10th (or earlier, for the lucky ducks who get their boxes early).

Oh nvm, looks like they usually post the sneak peeks within the first week, so it'll go up next month.

They did post a little teaser, though:

No product reveals, but they encourage you to guess September's theme. Vintage?
