Birchbox September 2013

[casualconcern]

Aw man. Not all too psyched about my box.

Spoiler

  CC creams tend to fit my ghost-pale skin tone 5% of the time so we'll see with this one. I already have the exact Benefit lip gloss sample from a Sephora order (otherwise I'd be really pleased about it!) and the other two just don't excite me. Thanks to the nail polish for saving the box, better luck for me next time!

I hope it's that big but I doubt it.

If you zoom in on the picture for box 7, it looks like it says 0.4 fl. oz. -- the same as the $28 sample. If so, sweet, since that's my box too!

I can verify it is! I got my box already. LOL I'm always looking for eye creme so if I can use it as that, then I can save myself buying an eye creme for another few months

  RUFFIAN Nail Lacquer Grand Central Beauty S.M.A.R.T. Skin Perfectingâ„¢ Polisher (interested in trying) Benefit Ultra Plush Lip Gloss (tired of shimmery glosses and not a huge fan of pinks) Egyptian Magic Skin Cream (on the fence) Ojon Restorative Lash Treatment and Mascara (definitely not thrilled about this as since waterproof versions are the only ones that do not smudge/flake on me)  
Overall I'm pretty meh about this one... 
i'd be happy to take that ojon off your hands!  also - the benefit is more nude colored than anything - at leat on my lips.  just adds a nice shine and it has a nice peachy flavor and not sticky at all!!!

I'm excited about the Mereadesso! The rest of my box is going to my trade list. 

Has anyone swatched the orange polish? It looks quite garish in the bottle so I'm hoping it looks better on than in the bottle. 

 

[angienharry]

My box arrived!

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Box twins!

My box page finally updated, no shipping info update yet though



RUFFIAN Nail Lacquer

Yes To Blueberries Cleansing Facial Towelettes

amika Obliphica Blow Up Spray

Yes To Grapefruit CC Cream

Racinne Ultimate Youth Power Eye Serum
There were so many boxes that would have left me ecstatic! I didn't think I'd get one I would be 'eh' about, and yet here we are lol...hmm. 

Thanks ladies for the coupon update, 30% off is really good, although I'm not seeing anything in the favorites that peaks my interest

EDIT: I take it back, there's a page two with things I'd love to buy! YESS

I am getting the same box too. I seem to be getting a lot of shampoo even though I updated my profile. I would have loved to try something different.

I am updating mine again. I am just so meh about this box.

My friend sent me a picture of her hedge fund polish and OMG up close it looks so stunning

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

I have never worn green but I actually can't wait to try this one out. It looks pretty nice. Prolly best thing in my box.

 

[mariahk83]

thanks to whoever posted the link to the 3 year favorites shop - just snagged the Atelier Orange Sanguine for $14 and change!

 

[basementsong]

Can anyone point me in the direction of the trade threads? I don't usually trade, but I'm supposed to get the Ruffian in Hedge Fund (green) and I am DESPERATE for it in Fox Hunt (orange)! Would love to start looking for a trade.

I got box 5 with the green polish, caudalie cleanser, coastal scents quad, egytian magic lotion, and the amika blow up spray. I just went through all of the boxes and I have to say Birchbox did a great job matching  for me this month. I wasn't too impressed with many of the boxes this month, but this is definitely one of my favorites! I would have liked to try the jouer lip gloss and the ojon mascara though. I just got a couple new mascara's though and don't really need more with the one from ipsy coming and I'm not a big lipgloss wearer. I'm one of the few who doesn't like super glossy lips! I love lipstick instead!

Does this look like a proper sample or does it look shorted? I'm never sure whether the sample should actually come all the way filled up or not...it seems to be only half way filled

 

[daniellerose]

Welp, I waited all day for the mail to arrive and guess what...NO birchbox /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> My box was only 20 minutes away from me yesterday! Guess I have to wait until tomorrow

I also received a coupon. it's 3YEAR30 for everything at http://birchbox.com/favorites, no expiration date on the card

also, the mereadesso cream is actually the full travel size $28 for 12mL. but the full size is $120 for 50mL so that's actually more expensive ($28.80 for 12mL). the back has a latch so it's not a real foil and you can actually use it multiple times. despite not being super happy with the products, this is a pretty high value box (worth $40+)

Thanks for this! I'm already eyeing the Folle de Joie, Atelier, and Vasanti.

Imagine the amount of "psychness" when you get three of those boxes!

Does anyone know what to do if you get a duplicate item from a previous month? I'm getting a sample I got last month (the exact same). Will they send you another sample if you ask?

what was the sample? they usually give you 100pts... but they also usually catch it themselves pretty quickly. Hrm. Sometimes with things that are different colours, they'll justify it as being "different". I'd email them in case.

I'm pretty sure they will give you 100 points if you call. What was the sample?
