Birchbox September 2013

Background






Thank you are correct

Its still a good possiblity, but the polishes are named for the fashion label Ruffian, who created the polishes.

Whoops, I'm new at this. Yes you are correct. Thanks

fox hunt via birchbox's instagram, i think i liked voting picture shade more that was a brownish orange, perfect fall color. (still can't get over how small those nailpolish bottles are bahahahah)

I love small nail polishes because I get bored easily. I don't usually like to wear the same color more than twice.

I have a similar thought process about small polishes! If I decide I really love something I can always get another bottle.

I agree, I have so many bottles of Zoya that I've only used once or twice. But for me, that fact doesn't justify the price. At $10 for .17oz they would be $29 for .5oz (the size of a zoya nail polish). On the other hand, all of those bottles of Zoya I've only used a few times I only paid like $4 in most of their BOGO promos. For a brand that has never produced a beauty product that is obscene. I could never see myself spending cash or points on these polishes, but that might change when I try one.

 I like the small bottles because except for Sally Hansen clear quick dry top coat I never use up a big bottle. Really hoping I get the Hedge Fund color, I need a nice green for Fall, and I'm doing a no-buy.

OT - but I know many of us loathe CC polishes...but I bought the 2013 holo collection of theirs and WOW!!  beautiful....now if BB would send us minis of those, i'd be a happy camper!







I have the color Eternal Beauty and I just ordered another of their holos, Wild At Heart, that wasn't part of the holographic collections. I LOVE Color Club holos!

I totally agree. Whether or not I use a full size polish is irrelevant. I can not stand to pay that much for a "mini" polish. The price on these is ridiculous! What if my mom or a friend wants to try it? I'd be hoarding it at that price!!

For the same reason, I've kind of made peace with getting perfume samples, though I still have Birchbox set to no more than 6 a year. And it isn't like I don't have full size bottles either. I have too many of those too. But now that I have my new baby shih tsu, my makeup vial collection is dwindling. If I dare to leave a vial out, she will find it. Perfume attracts her like crazy!

Sooooo cute!! She is such a girl!! I love Shih Tzus! My first dog baby was a shih tzu named Chloe (after the perfume)!

I agree I would never spend that much on nail polish, full size or small.

I can't believe this will be their 3rd year running this company. That is crazy! Time passes by so quickly. I'm excited for this box solely for the nailpolish.

It looks like they are putting up the September place holder sites for box variations (up to 25 as of now).

I'm new here and had to join since I have been reading this site for months. I almost cancelled Birchbox two months ago when they kept sending me hair ties and hair products even though I have a pixie cut. I am SO glad I didnt.. I have never loved a lipstick like I love the one I got last month. ( I didnt even complain they also sent me the bobby pins, I loved it so much!) Can't ait for more spoilers since I have no patience for surprises.

Isn't there an option now in the quiz, when they ask about hair type, that says something like "my hair is too short to put in a ponytail"? Hopefully that means they won't keep sending you hair ties and stuff. I dropped BB in April and then signed back up last month, and the quiz options were all totally changed. I like that they're attempting to limit sending perfumes to people who don't want them, and that they also give you the option to pick which sorts of lifestyle items you get, so you can opt out of food products if you have allergies and whatnot.
