Wait, if you don't like to use SPF then how do you protect your skin from the sun?

I have naturally tan/olive skin- I also live in Chicago and the sun never shines.  It always seems to clog my pores and I break out as well, so I just avoid it altogether.  When you leave before the sun comes up to go sit in a building all day, and leave after the sun goes down, it seems pointless.

You didn't get a nail polish.  I thought everyone was getting a nail polish.  

yeah i was going to say this .... if one of my boxes doesn't come with a nail polish i'm going to be kind of upset. :

She only leaves the house at night!  LOL   I don't use SPF's either.  They burn my face.  I'm just really careful about how much time I spend in the sun.  I wear hats. I always have giant sunglasses to protect around my eyes.

item wise, it looks kinda like a welcome box for a gift sub. i might be wrong though.

okay, that's good then. yeah i assumed the welcome boxes would be exempt from the nail polishes. Hopefully that means I'll get one in both still!

  I gifted it to myself because I finally managed to have some self restraint and keep my points long enough to get a second sub- at least for three months.  It's a total gift sub, but not bad for a first box! (tl;dr this isn't a September box- it's a gift sub box, my main hasn't shipped yet.)

I thought they specifically said that they were *not* tied. If they were, I would never receive perfume samples, and we all know how trying to get away from those things goes.
i haven't received a perfume sample since April and i hope it stays that way forever *knocks on wood*

I'm officially getting box envy without even having seen my box yet. This could be a really killer month.

Wowza, these boxes are great! So glad I have two subs this month, I was thisclose to cancelling the second one! So excited to see Elizabeth Arden in the boxes and the Mally product!

Dang! That's an awesome box!

I just got that welcome box and I'm itching for my September box.  I also want to see what my mom and stepmom get in theirs 

  they tend to send me extras- especially when I send things I know they'd like too!

Reviews, purchases, all that -- don't mean anything for what box you end up with at the end of the day.
lmao! i used to do this back in the day too!

 

[JennG315]

Everyone's box looks great! Finally, I decided to subscribe to Birchbox a few weeks ago & September will officially be my 1st box! Just in time for there 3rd Anniversary so I hope I'm in for some exciting goodies! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 Clicky truck 0.6180 weight due on the 12th for both accounts. I'm praying I don't get identical boxes.

 

[Jamie P]

These sample sizes are amazing! I don't even need lip gloss and I'm jealous!

This box would be 100% perfect for me and my profile. So basically I won't get it. Jk, I love birchbox. I am almost always pretty happy.

My account is set to auto renew in October (I had a yearly sub), and now in my account setting section there's an option to "opt out of auto-renewal." If I opt out and then subscribe for another year, can I add GWP items for my annual sub? Say, since it's a $110 purchase, the Amika straightener and a pick two (if they're in stock)? Or should I just let it auto renew?

Yes, you can opt out and re-subscribe with GWP and pick 2.  Also, there's usually a code out there for 100 extra points when you sign up for an annual sub.
