Spoiler

I recieved this box as well, I am so disappointed, crummy blister pack of CC cream that won't even achieve one application and the coastal scents colors I got were horrid gold and orange colors that look clownish on my pasty pale complexion.

About sticky lip gloss: The absolute non-stickiest one I have ever tried is benefit Ultra Plush lip gloss in Dandelion. Seriously, I have stickier lip *balm*. I think it might be silicone-based instead of petroleum. ModelCo Party Proof lipstick is sticky and gummy compared to this stuff. it's just slick and smooth. I have to talk myself out of getting it in another shade every time I'm in Sephora.

The new Marc Jacobs glosses at Sephora are not sticky at all either.

I thought the Naked Princess lipglosses that BB sent out in like November of last year were not sticky. They also smelled really good haha

Annoyed that I'm getting box 41. I don't have any damn hair and half of my box consists of hair products. I already got the nipple balm in a pick two so the only redeeming thing in the entire box is the purple nail polish. The only thing I checked off for hair is that it is too short for a ponytail and by my profile pics you can see how short that is lol.

take a look at the swap page--there are quite a few of use (myself included) that got duplicate boxes and are looking to do whole box trades /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Yeah that box is kind of hit and miss, with wipes and a few single-use items. If the colors pf the other items don't work for you it is pretty bad.

So here are my boxes this month not too excited about anything. I wish I would have gotten different color polishes. Main account: BB49 2nd account: BB44 I forgot to add no tracking updates for either account.

RUFFIAN nail lacquer Dr. Jart+ Premium Beauty Balm SPF 45 Dr. Lipp Original Nipple Balm for Lips Beauty Protector Protect & Shampoo Beauty Protector Protect & Condition
Not interested in the lip balm but the other things sound ok. I haven't tried any of these brands before. 

I'm getting the same. I'm not super excited, but like you said I haven't tried these brands before. And at least no foil packets!

Sadly nothing on usps either. I'll give them another day before i email them. I got tracking for both of my boxes on the same day and received my other box yesterday already.

Unfortunately, most women who have hair too short for a pony tail still have longer hair than your's and can use hairspray/conditioning masks.

Hopefully you can trade those items?

Yup probably a box trade minus the nail polish. I'm going to ask bb how to tweak my profile to get less hair products, lower my age to a tween to get more makeup, especially since the hair section is unchecked. Hopefully my next box won't be hair heavy either. I really want the mally products.

I got one of my boxes! ... the one I never received a shipping notif for (yet) and didn't load the weight until yesterday. 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+)

Yeh, that's one of the products I'm getting. The Mereadesso cream. I wasn't excited about it either, since I already have a moisturizer that I use, but it'll be fun to see if this cream is worth the huge price tag.

I feel like pretty much everyone got hair stuff this month. I don't mind getting hair stuff once in a while since it means I get hair stuff without really paying for it, but I really would like it once every 2-3 months :S nothing you can do. I haven't been getting skincare stuff either even though I asked for it

LOL I like how a lot of our reactions are like "Well I'm not super excited about it, but I guess since it's expensive, okay!!!" lol

It's fun to try new products, I would otherwise not get to try /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 Yes ma'am!  https://www.makeuptalk.com/t/137712/birchbox-swap-september-2013

Looks like I'm getting Box 7:

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

We'll see ... looks like the Ruffian in Fox Hunt, which is what I wanted. Don't think I'd ever wear green nail polish -- wouldn't fly in my office. Excited about the Sugarbomb lip gloss but had really been hoping for Davines salt spray. LOVE Davines.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Still really annoyed about my shipping. Got my clicky truck on Thursday and shipping confirmation email on Friday, but no shipping information was available. Shipping info finally showed up overnight: Seriously, why send a shipping confirmation Friday if my package wasn't even dropped off for processing until Monday night? I live in DC, so I should receive this sooner than Sept. 16, but I'm seriously annoyed. I have the same. But USPS says it's out for delivery now!
