I'm really hoping it gets to looking better but if not I have Coppertone lotion that is the same color that I can use.

as one reviewer had said before - even when it gets dry it is still depositing color! i did my face/neck the very last with basically the un-shredded edges and it seems to have done pretty well. you could probably add more lotion to the areas you are using the dryer part on and it would glide more nicely /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I loved the Juliette Has a Gun perfume so much, I just purchased a sample pack of the company's 8 scents directly from them! It cost about 11.50. So excited! Lots of rose and patchouli...right up my alley. Plus I love the names and packaging.

I'm not usually excited about the perfume samples in Birchbox; I don't mind them, but they don't add much to the box for me. But I love an unusual brand I've never heard of with unusual scents!

Pretty happy with my box this month! Just not so excited about the tili bag.

Box 6:

-Stila One Step Bronze

-Masqueology Pore Minimizing Mask (up for trade)

-theBalm Staniac

-Comodynes Self Tanner

-John Varvatos Cologne (my friend loves it!)

-Tili bag

I have been so bummed I didn't receive that in my box. After I read this I went straight to their website and did the same thing! (Why didn't I think if doing this right away)

Oh wow! They look so natural from what I can see...would have loved to receive them, even though I have no idea how to use falsies...LOL!

Wow this is such a unique box, guessing this one didn't go out as much?

So funny, I actually placed the same order yesterday with them. I'm really curious to smell the other perfumes!

YAY-- The review page for my second Jone box is up ( box hasn't arrived in TX yet) and it's Box 11.

I think it will be a good combo with my other box, which is Box #5.

#5 had:

Borghese moisturizing soap

Bvlgari Omnia Crystalline Eau de Toilette Spray

Ada Coismetics Bronzing powder in a pretty peach bronze shade

Thebalm Stainiac ( of course)

Cynthia Rowley band-aids

#11 box:

Yu-Be nmoisturizing cream

Borghese Bango Body soak

EYEKO Fat Eye Stick ( don't know color- praying it's not black)

theBalm Stainiac

A LUNA bar ( which will be ruined by the time it gets here in 90 degree weather)

HEE!! NO Selif- tanner!! NO shampoo or conditioner!! ( Hair is too thick for their samples). No cloth hair bands ( I pick my own accessories) !!!

 

Only thing I would have wanted instead of one of these items would have been the full sized Stila One Step bronzer but for $10, I think I have fun boxes.

IS THE LUNA BAR SUPPOSED TO BE THE LIFESTYLE SAMPLE IN BOX #11? Because if it's not a " freebie' and is part of the box contents, and arrives melted like I think it will, will Birchbox send me something else as a replacement?
Kind of need to know what they do about this. Thanks!!

Just bought a friend who has cancer the men's BB. That's 3 BB subs now, LOL.. And just gor my confirmation for my second Glossybox. It may be Father's Day, but it's a happy little beauty sample day for me. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

ugh, i've been emailing back and forth with birchbox for two weeks (they keep taking like 5 days to respond) and they said they would update my points from my 2 referrals like days ago and they STILL haven't. i emailed days ago right as soon as i saw that it wasn't updated and of course, no response again.

mostly i'm annoyed because i really wanted to get the eyeko fat stick in old gold and now it's sold out.

 

[Naun-Negotiable]

sorry this is totally off-topic  but relevant to my current obsession with perfume oils : does anyone still have a sample of the joya perfume from last year? i think the cynthia rowles box?
 

JOYA FvsS Composition No. 1 Parfum Roll-On Parfum   <- this guy.
