I'm super pale and wear it beneath my foundation and it's gives me a little oomp to my pale skin that still looks natural /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

i love using it under my makeup ! i have been testing out some BB creams which are a bit more sheer than foundation but it is a perfect combo for summer <3

Yup, I got the golden Ada bronzer too - but it sounds like the Peach is pretty nice also!  

I'd say I'm in between Fair and Medium usually.  Maybe at the height of summer if I'm working outside a lot I actually hit Medium...but normally have to get a shade right in the middle.

Anyways, I'm really impressed and would consider grabbing the Peach shade once I have 100 pts again.  I just used my points up with the 20% off to get some other things I wanted so I'll have to wait a couple months.

I also got my 6 month discount today!  I had already tried the code last week and made an order, but was glad to see it since I want to an annual sub this month.  

Can you use the 20% off coupon on a subscription?

I was supposed to get referral points at the end of May, and I never got them. I emailed BB about it 3 or 4 days ago and haven't heard anything. You'd think depositing referral points would be automatic or something.
I've referred two good friends and I'm pretty sure both of them used my link.  Both were put on the waiting list so maybe that's why...

Neither of them added automagically to my points.  I had to contact Customer Service to get my points, but they did work with me on that.

Okay, thanks. Good to know. I hope my referral actually used the link! Haha.

         This is pretty much what I put in my profile and I also got the Winks. I already traded them, though. I'm loving the shampoo and stainiac. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> The rest of the box was just meh this month. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Hey y'all, just had a question for those of you who got the deer print headband, did you like it? I wanted to order the red polka for but it's out! I love headbands because I'm growing my hair out and it's a good way to hide a bad hair day! Just wanted to know what you thought about it before I ordered it!

you're so cute! the staniac and the headband both look super cute!

Random Trade Post - I will put this on the BB open trade thread as well.  Just purchased the Fresh Sugar Rose from BB and I tried it once and I hate it!!!  I really would like to trade for the phytojoba Hair mask if anyone also subscribes to Glossybox.  Or really any makeup products.  Please PM if you are Fresh Sugar Rose fan.  I don't know why but the idea of just trading seems alot easier than trying to hassle with BB and make sure I get credited for it and all that hoopla.

I wouldnt suggest you do that, last time I returned something to BB they shorted me around $5.00 and couldnt even explain to me why they did it!

 That is why I prefer to just trade.  I don't want to have to deal with getting a tracking number to make sure that it makes it to them and then have to deal with making sure everything gets credited properly bc about 75% of my whole order was points and the rest I paid out of pocket for.

noooo ! after all this waiting my feedback options finally updated - and i am getting box 1. i had box 2 for my first box. they are pretty much twins and have the least interesting things in them /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> the stila bronzer is nice but i have one already. i can use all of the items , just bummed it isn't more of a different box. was hoping for the floral water or some face things or the hair band maybe. heck even more tanners lol.

Anyone still trading whole boxes? i'm pretty interested in *4, 17 , 20, 21, and *26 . possibly 15 and 24 too. this list is silly. i like most of the boxes.  items that i like: headband, perfume (yes i said perfume!)  masks, hair stuff, floral water, eyeliners (mostly the skinny one), but try me. i like lots of stuff

this is mine. i do want to try the perfume, but everything else makes this trade-able for me.



Box 1

1. tili Bags Small Collection 1
2. stila one step bronze
3. theBalm® cosmetics Stainiac
4. CleanWell Hand Sanitizing Wipes
5. Juliette Has a Gun Not a Perfume

ModCloth.com (the maker of the headbands) has the polka dot print and a few others in stock. Just search "headband." Although you won't get free shipping like you would from BB.

I don't think anyone saw this, so I'm gonna repost

 

[viccckyhoang]

omg, i want that headband!!! :[

Gah. So this box marked my one year anniversary with Birchbox. Apparently I got box 16, which was pretty okay except in comparison to the other boxes. I have a total case of box jealousy and can't help but pout that I didn't get any full-sized items this time. I love Stila so I pretty much was about to bawl my eyes out that I didn't get the one-step bronzer. If anyone wants to tradesies on the Stila OS......hit me up.

•  
• 　  
    My box:　
  Jouer Luminizing Moisture Tint (This was literally the size of my thumb. Um. I hav emy doubts on if it'll even cover my face ONCE)
  
• John Varvatos Star U.S.A. 1.7 oz (Don't have anyone to give it to. So....pretty useless for me.)
  
•  BORGHESE Botanico Eye Compresses (Would have liked this except they were pretty stingy and gave two compresses. Retail value of like $0.50. Thhhhankkkks).
  
•  Scalisi Skincare Anti-Aging Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 30 (Nice enough product except it's super tiny. Does BB think my face is the size of a Barbie doll??? I would like to get more than 1 use out of per item if possible, yeeesh).
  
•  theBalm® cosmetics Stainiac (The only thing I was excited about. And like, a lot. )
  
•  BAND-AID® Brand Adhesive Bandages by Cynthia Rowley Bundle (This has got to be a joke. 20 bandaids for $12???? What. The.)
  

　
Anyways, was pretty upset that my box sucked balls compared to other people's, but I'm trying to be more optimistic. It seemed like the theme of my box this June was "you get enough product to try everything once, and only once." I guess it's a good marketing strategy to get me to buy the full-sized version....?
I e-mailed BB about it, totally whining, to which I recieved a very nice form letter. Thanks BB for the personalization -___-
For me, MgGlam won over BB this month.
　
　
Also, does anyone know if BB gives out % off coupons for 1 year anniversaries? I haven't received anything yet.

 

[yanelib27]

I too am looking to trade my entire box # 2:


Box 2

1. Wonderstruck Taylor Swift
2. stila one step bronze
3. Comodynes Self-Tanning Intensive
4. theBalm® cosmetics Stainiac
5. LUNA Bar

I am looking only for boxes: 12 (long shot, I know!) or 17 /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 

 

[yanelib27]

I just wanted to comment something a little odd. I got one of those free bauble bracelets for making an order over 75.00 and I checked the tracking just bow and it went to Cantano, PR.. I couldnt for the life of me figure out what state that was so I googled it... so it turns it my bracelet went from New Jersey to PUERTO RICO! And I am in TX so .. I guess its safe to say it got lost?? lol 

 

[iPretty949]

I want the headband too!!! My box was sucky but will use stuff anyways. Prolly il just sew my own headband then.

 

[iPretty949]

              I haven't had any issues trying to contact them, as the one and only time I called, the phone was picked up on the first ring. That actually startled me. lol. They did wind up putting my account "on hold" for some stupid technical issues they were having and then when all was said and done, they charged me twice! Luckily, I was able to get compensated for all the trouble with 100 extra glossydots. Sucks that they're having so many issues... I'm still subbed, but I couldn't recommend them with a clear conscience right now. I really loved May's box, but there are so many people that have either not received their box or they're just having far too much stress trying to sort out the little problems associated with GB. I still think they opened up subs far too early and that they shouldn't have opened up more this month.                  Anyway, I mentioned in an earlier post before I had received my Birchbox that I probably wouldn't like the Tili bag. Well, I don't really like it, but at least it's not green. I'll probably just use it for snacks or something. lol. Here, I'll show you all which one I got:                                  See, it's not as bad as I thought it would be. It's at least colorful... cute... Still not impressed, though.                  I'm not looking to trade, but anyone else not like these? Anyone REALLY love these bags? What are you all going to use them for? Just curious!  :-D 

How did you use your tili bag? That's kind silly! Lol. We bought 2 boxes of quarter gallon slider bags from ziploc in costco a week ago -- that is 120 bags, for $4.95.

 

[MarbleSky]

I got box 16. Nothing I really liked except for the Stainiac, but it really dries my chronically chapped lips out. Works great as a cheek stain though.

Then I kept my fingers crossed for my second box. Just found out it's going to be box 14. I'm excited to try the stretchmark cream (after 4 kids!), but that's about it. I was really hoping for a bronzer or an eyeliner.

Glad I got the Bandaids instead of a tilli bag though /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
