I got it in black, which is great because it will definitely get plenty of use. Also, that Yu-Be sample is such a baby lil thing. From the pictures, I expected it to be bigger, lol. 

I got both Birchboxes, AND the Target bag today, too.  AND I even went to work out, finally, lol. It was a good day!

So they made her up a little "boxie" with a blankie in it and she curls right up in it all the time and goes to sleep! My dog is weird... when I open my birchbox (or any sample box), she whines until I show her what I got and let her sniff each thing! I guess she thinks it's food, LOL! But I pretend she's one of the girls and is all excited too, HA HA!

Lol, he is always just as excited as I am when I receive packages. He knows he can't fit but is determined to get half his body in. I did the same thing your mom did. He has his own big box but will leave it as soon as he sees a new one haha. He'll leave his bed, too. Aww, too cute, one of the girls ha. I love dogs too, my brother has a German Shepherd. I think your girl is looking for snacks LOL.

lol my cat would not get out of one of my sample society boxes. It's too funny. I don't save my birchboxes, I just use them for shipping. 

Lol, too cute. She made herself comfortable.

Ooh nice! you have 2 bronzers.

 

[TheNittyPretty]

Oh no! Has anyone heard of Bark Box? It's like Birchbox for dogs! I'm gonna have to sign my little girl up for that so she can have her barkbox and I can have my birchbox

So, I tried out the sunless tanner towels today.

I am actually pretty impressed and I am thinking about buying a box to use for some upcoming events this summer. The color turned out really natural looking, not orange like most I have tried. They also don't have the horrible stench like the Jergens Natural Glow does. My only complaint was that one towel really wasn't enough to do my whole body. I am 5'6" and 125lbs and my little towel thing started getting dry after I had my arms and whole torso done. There really wasn't enough for my legs. I tried to get it to work but I could tell it wasn't going on evenly since the dryness of the towel was making it hard to smooth over my skin right, and even harder to tell where I had already gotten and where I hadn't. I ended up grabbing the second towel and just doing my legs with that one. It worked MUCH better.

Overall the color looks really natural and is really just a hint of color.

I think if I was going to do it again I would do my legs first, then move to my arms/shoulders/chest, and then if there was any left I would do my tummy and lower back. Those areas are really never going to be seen, so they don't need the tanner as much. That way I could make one towel get everywhere that really needed it and save myself the second towel.

Excellent! I was worried that those would look unnatural on fair skin, but I'm glad they look nice.

that makes me feel better actually - maybe they are just slow today

Just received my box, #11. Got eyeko in Charcoal & I love it!

 

[Anneke V]

I was really happy w/ the self-tanner too. The color was good. I noticed that even when the towel felt dry it still applied self-tanner, as those parts did get color several hours later.

I can't stand the smell of Jergen's self-tanner either. I use the foam and I just - it smells like bad B.O. after a couple of hours. If I use it I have to put it on a night and shower in the morning. I think the color from the Birchbox tanner was much better and I'll probably be bbuying some in the future, desspite the high cost.

I am fair skinned and the dark tanner color worked fine for me.

The other product I really like is the Stainiac - and I'll be buying some of that in the future too. I've used it as blush and it really works all day.

I got box #4 and my eyeko liner was in black! I was excited about getting a turquoise, but I'm fine with getting the black too because I was looking for a good liquid liner.

New to makeuptalk and the Birchbox Subscribers thread, hello!

I got box #6 yesterday, quite excited!  I'm wearing the Masqueology Pore Minimizing mask as I type and am looking forward to trying out everything else, excluding the men's cologne sample.  Although I may end up wearing that as well, who knows? 


 

I'm pretty sure I would have never have figured out the feedback option without having read through this discussions, so thank you!

 

[xheidi]

i've subscribed to bb for awhile and have been reading this forum for quite some time, but haven't joined til now. but this month, i've received box11.



sucks that my eyeko is loose from the container and it melted. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> emailed bb to ask if i can get a replacement.
ehhs, okay products. won't use much of it... /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[jaimelesmots]

i have to say i really like the men's cologne on my boyfriend.

he was adorable, he couldn't figure out how to use it (he doesnt normally wear cologne)

it kinda reminds me of his old spice aqua reef (which i go bananas for) with a little extra musk.

 

[xheidi]

here's my box, box 11. 



too bad the eyeko was melted and loosened from the container when it came to me. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> product down the drain!
not many products i'll use, unfortunately. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
