I've never used any (real) self tanning product before, Jergens Healthy Glow doesnt count, haha. I have an olive skin tone, so I'm not so worried about being too orange, just looking for that base glow. Thanks in advance!

I love Jergens Healthy Glow! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

ANY self-tanning product typically requires that you exfoliate in the shower prior to use. I'm not sure about the rest.

I can't complain because I got boxes with the Stila, but I really want to try the Eyeko fat stick. Anyone tried it yet? Do you like it? Can it be used as liner or mostly just shadow?

I tried it and have used to line outter corner of bottom lashes (mine was the taupy-gold ish color) and it worked fine :] I haven't used as shadow yet, I like to use the color I got as a highlighter.

My box is supposed to be here later today. My tracking information still says

Delivery status information is not available for your item via this web site. A return receipt after mailing may be available through your local Post Office.
and the UPS MI site still says

Jun 6 2012 Package transferred to dest MI facility Edgewood, NY
Hopefully I still get it.

I got mine a day early.

Box 15.


Box 15

1. Modcloth Headband
2. Masqueology Brightening Mask
3. Comodynes Self-Tanning Intensive
4. theBalm® cosmetics Stainiac
5. Supergoop SPF 30+ Everyday UV Lotion for Face and Body

I didn't figure out the exact numbers, but it's worth $30-$35. I can't really complain. There's just nothing in it to make me jump up and down. Luckily I got the headband in Polka Dot instead of deer, so, if I keep it, I may wear it at some point.

However, if I could get the Stila bronzer, I'd trade any of it. (Even multiple items.)

The self-tanner makes me nervous to apply. My skin is a little darker than fair and I love using Jergens Healthy Glow. I feel like it gives me just enough color to wear my shorts and tanks.

I think I've only got one box left in me. I really love my Sample Society boxes so far. I hated MyGlam. Any suggestions for something else to try? (Not Glossybox, I'm not spending $21 a month.)

Hello everyone!

I just wanted to post a warning! Earlier last month I recommended the seller CostSell from Amazon to buy BB cream and other Asian beauty products. Yes the shipping is fast and products are authentic from my knowledge. However, very poor customer service!

I received a rancid cream, and wanted to exchange it. He basically called me a liar by saying that they don't sell old product so they won't exchange it simply because a customer does not like it or that it doesn't work for them. Hello!!! I didn't say I don't like it. It's stinkin defective. Anyway, I have the emails saved and I'm usually soft spoken, but he really pushed my buttons.

Anyway, Im just spreading the word here as I feel I should since I posted good things about this seller before. Their feedback is good until you have a problem with your order. Seems he doesn't follow his own refund policy.

Thanks for reading

I'm sorry if it was already mentioned and I didn't see it, but has the "give feedback" button gone missing? I went to leave feedback on the items I have tried to get my Birchbox points and can't find the feedback button!

Did you receive the items in this month's birchbox? That's the only way you can leave feedback.

 I ordered my BB cream (the Skin 79 in the hot pink bottle) from Pink Gelee on Amazon. All of the reviews were positive and the product is guaranteed authentic so I have to wait until it gets here which will be either today or tomorrow. Then I heard about prettyandcute.com. So I went on there today and ordered the Lioele Beyond the Solution BB cream. They have Skin79, Lioele, Missha, and I think a few others. Definitely check it out because I think I'll be getting mine from there from now on (I was hesitant about ordering from Amazon in the first place and went with the one that had the best reviews but the prices are good at prettyandcute.com and from youtube videos I've seen, the products are authentic. I'd rather go with a website than an Amazon seller just because of my own past experiences also. (The shipping isn't outrageous either... it's a little over 3 bucks for standard shipping and when you sign up, they send you a welcome email with a code to save 10%. Not much but it's something, lol!)

  OMG! I'm getting one of those in my box too so I hope it's the same one you got!

I just received a shipping notice today which probably means I'll get my box next Wednesday or Thursday.By the time I get my June box some of you will already have had your boxes in hand for almost two weeks and BB is already posting on FB about the July box. Other than the GG box which arrived on the 14th, my boxes always ship late. Wishing that their distribution method was just a bit more efficient so I don't always feel like I'm behind the times. My husband tells me I should just stop reading this forum so I would be blissfully ignorant about it all. LOL, like that would ever happen. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
