Birchbox September 2013

[kawaiimeows]

Here we go, box # 26, weight .6150

I'm kind of sad that I haven't gotten a perfume since January honestly (i know the rest of y'all are probably wondering how I managed that) and I asked for more perfume on my profile when they first added that option, but I've gotten hair products almost EVERY month, which annoys me to no end because i have down that my hair is completely low maintenance, no styling, coloring, heat etc. hopefully it won't make my hair oily like the last shampoo did.

Meh about laundry soap, nothing will make doing laundry fun bahha.

Excited about the green apple peel and the nail polish. If I can get off the waitlist on a second email by the 14th I might sign up for a second box to see if I can get a second nail polish color.

So, I'm getting Box 27. Why does it look like the cream blush is in an envelope? I'm going to be sad if it's just a lame card sample.

I'm wondering if it might be a blister pack in an envelope, like the Juliette Has a Gun samples are in envelopes. It seems like I've had other things in this same presentation, but I naturally can't think of any of them.

-Davines This Is a Sea Salt Spray
-Elizabeth Arden Beautiful Color Luminous Lip Gloss
-Paula’s Choice RESIST BHA 9 for Stubborn Imperfections

Excited for 3/5! That's not bad! Not sure that the Paula's Choice stuff is useful for me, teeth wipes might be interesting, love sea salt spray and I love EA gloss I had a gorgeous pink one that I lost so hopefully it's a good color!

My mom signed up for BB so I'm hoping she gets some makeup I can snag because she doesn't wear it lol!
That was the box I really wanted.

32 and 44 over here! Even if the glosses are the same, I'll probably keep them both so I can stash them in different bags. Two hand creams, but they're different brands. If I get the same polishes as shown, one will be up for trade simply because I only want one bottle of *any* polish (except Max Factor Fantasy Fire. I hoard that stuff!). I'm starting a stash of goodies to give to my sister-in-law, so any curly hair stuff will go in there (I deliberately put curly hair down on that profile, so it was not a surprise to see it, although it *was* a surprise to *finally* see it because it's been like that for months, and this is the first curly product I've received). And shower gel! I'm on a shower gel no-buy, so I'm always happy to see it in one of my boxes.
Overall, very happy. There are a couple of specific things I'll probably be swapping, but I'll wait until I get the boxes in my hands before I decide for sure. I'm headed to a comic con next weekend, so I hope these get to me in the next week and a half, because there are several things in these that will be fun to break out for that weekend (it's a local con, but it's still An Event, and I like to get special goodies to use for even local Events.) Box twins!!!!!!!!!

I keep getting haircare stuff too when I ask for skincare stuff.... and I got a perfume this month too. I basically keep getting no skincare stuff (I WANT TO TRY THE APPLE PEEL GRRR) I asked for less perfume and I haven't been getting t hem super frequently, but it's still like... I would hope only when it's in everyone's boxes or something. : There were a lot of variations sans perfume this month.

 I am getting the same box, so box triplets, and I am also getting a dupe of the stupid sunscreen that smells like cucumber. How do they deal with sample repeats? wth... the one sample i have gotten that I refuse to use. Why would anyone want their face smelling like cucumber? /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I'm getting box #7. I'm not really happy with it and think I might let Birchbox go for awhile. I have had enough of foil packet samples. I don't mind getting them once in awhile, but I seem to be getting them in every box lately.

 

[Rachel85]

I'm getting box 26. Should be here Thursday. I am excited for it, but I think I would be excited for any box. I am a new to all these kinds of beauty products, and I am excited to try anything...I don't even care what it is /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> . The laundry soap is kinda different though. Oh well I'm up for anything. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 

 My box weight is .6200

I just got the sunscreen in a welcome box on a second sub- thankfully I'll use everything else in that one.  My stepmom loves face SPF since she runs a lot outside- I live in the city where the sun doesn't shine downtown.. and I'm barely outside.  Hooray 9-5's.  I'll probably trade her both of mine for something else.. but I'm with you.. no cucumber smelly face things unless I get to wash them off!

That's still a little disappointing, but it's better than a sample card. Thanks for potential insight.

Because cucumber smells good. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />. Different strokes for different folks.

They've been pretty good about giving me skin care items, which I'm happy about because I have SO much makeup right now (especially lip products), and I've been more interested in taking care of my skin lately. I generally don't *mind* getting hair products, I've really been enjoying the beauty protector and n. 4 spray in stuff, but changing up shampoos has made me weary lately because any time I change up my routine my hair gets like 10x more oily, especially when I use stuff for damaged hair.

I got this on BOTH my subs, weights were .6000 and .5950

[MissTrix]

Because I'm bored and curious, I combed through all of the box combinations and did a polish color count.

Hedge Fund = 16 boxes

Fox Hunt = 27 boxes

Delerium = 5 boxes

no box pic = 3 boxes

For what it's worth, I purchased full-size versions of the Beauty Protector Shampoo and Conditioner a month or so ago when they first came out because I loved the Beauty Protector Spray so much. However, I was completely disappointed. The shampoo and conditioner totally dried my hair out and made it feel like straw. I thought it would be moisturizing like the spray, but for me it did the opposite. Total waste of $40 for me.

Well, darn, you answered my question. I have box 26 too and was hoping for the green polish instead of orange. Alas. I'm good with the rest of the contents though. I love BP so happy to try the shampoo and conditioner. I'm also hoping to get off waitlist by the 14th.

 

[paralegalatl]

I still have a non-clicky truck and no box number. I'm slightly annoyed, lol!

That's so weird, especially after reading the description of the products on the BB website. I'll be interested to see how my hair reacts to it, I hate that you had to waste $40 to find out it didn't work with your hair though :[

 

[Playedinloops]

I'm getting box 27. I've made a habit of not really looking very closely at the other boxes, I seem to enjoy my boxes more that way. I'm excited to try the beauty protector shampoo and conditioner, even though I didnt' really like the spray.

 

[crescentmoon]

I got box 18. I am totally shocked that I got it actually. It seems recently I've been getting my box late in the month, like near the 20th. Last month I complained that (to me) I got the punishment box but I was hoping that would mean I would get an awesome box this month, which I did. Manicure glove (worth about $6.00), makeup towlettes (2.99), ruffian nail polish ($10.00 although color kind of meh (hedge fund green)), coastal pallette that I will definately try, and the only sample I don't care for, the grapefruit cc cream. The most exciting sample for me is the manicure gloves because I woudl be into that a lot.

I'm in that no box pic group- I'd like all three of the colors but I want to know!!

Oh blech lol. The last thing my curly hair needs is something drying! I'll give it a try and see what happens but I was unimpressed by the spray so my hopes are low.
