Birchbox: The June Box discussion

[injectionenvy]

Yes, I did exfoliate first. I scrubbed the heck out of my legs in the shower just now and the orange seems to have gone down a bit. Hopefully I'm not just imaging that. Next time I will definitely make sure not to try out a new product the day before a special event. lol

So I tried my Comodynes tanning cloths. I'm sure you can all guess where this is going.. lol. I followed the directions exactly and I still turned out orange and streaky (and to top it off, I forgot to do my feet, so I look like I'm wearing orange leggings!) I only did my legs, not sure if I want to try the 2nd cloth to see if I can even it out, or might that make it worse?

 I have 2 friends who got the same effect when using them.

You poor thing! =( Here's to hoping it fades soon! Luckily they don't seem like they're suppose to last long if you have to reapply every 3-4 days!

...I can decide whether I want to try them or not. I've seen mixed reviews - they work awesome for some people, but then as we've seen, some people turn orange.

Super annoyed! Still haven't gotten my box...

I tried on the Stainiac as soon as I got it lol. I really like it, still on my lips now. I didn't think it would be flattering on me but the subtleness of it is nice... will make sure to purchase a full-size during my next sephora shopping attack.

I feel the same way - it's a very subtle wash on my lips. I like it cause I can go crazy with eye makeup and still have a fun pop of color on my lips without looking like a clown. Just finding it doesn't last terribly long, but I feel nothing lasts long on my lips. Oh well!

Love the eyeko skinny liner! Swatches on my blog post, plus size comparison of mini Stainiac and full-size.

What color did you get??

Received my June Birchbox today. Box #4. I must say I'm pretty happy with this box. I've been subscribed to Birchbox since January of this year and I think this is my favorite box so far. Tracking said I wouldn't receive my box until monday so this was a happy surprise. My eyeliner is in "olive" which I love. It's so dark it's almost black.

People who got box 4--what color eye liner did you get? I got purple

 =[ i haven't even got my box yet! I am wondering if I am getting black or a different color. I am sitting on the edge of my chair until the 18th. I am hoping it will show up today or tomorrow not Monday.

 

[sillylilly05]

Anyone want to trade their eyeko skinny black liner for my purple?

Ok, so why after there were so many complaints about it last month didn't they fix it before sending it out?  Aren;t there still people who called or emailed about this still waiting for a new sample?  They don't give it to them but they send more out in the June box?  What the hell?  (FYI--I am not one of the people who received this either month, but it still irks me)

I got the Eyeko Skinny liner in black.

I used the Masqueology Pore Minimizing mask and liked it.  It's super saturated and the mask fit nice.  The only think I did not care for is that my face felt sticky to the touch afterwards, so after a couple of hours I washed it again.  I've got oily skin and this felt a bit too hydrating for my skin type.  I can't say I saw any pore shrinkage, but that may come only after repeated usage.  I'm not willing to pay $8/mask to find out, though.

So how annoyed should I be that the website is still showing my May box and I don't have a shipping notification?

Apparently they like paying to ship crappy products out multiple times.  I'm supposed to be getting box 26 with the Dr. Jart sample and the best thing about the box is getting 70 points in reviews.  I know some people are upset about people getting to review 7 products, but I'd rather have a full size Stila Bronzer than a bunch of packet sized items.  I'm trying to decide whether I'm going to hang in there for one more month or just cancel.  I really like how Glossybox was fair to everyone last month.  I hope they keep it that way.  My Birchbox hasn't even arrived yet and it doesn't bother me......I'm just looking forward to Glossybox! 

  

 

[Kittygirl4]

BTW, I got the Dr. Jart's on my second account last month....so 2 months in a row for me. 

And I did cancel my second account. 

 

[Linabunnie]

Just cancelled my BB. I guess you can log back in to keep earning/spending points. You can also get your spot back whenever. Good to kno...​
