haha! it's all good - my mom used to rinse our hair with beer to make it shiny ! so i will def be checking that one out next time i go. 

we ended up getting the godiva shampoo bar, mostly cos i just can't resist things that smell (properly) of jasmine <3   have samples to test of : trichimania, curly wurly, and the jasmine and henna fluff-eaze mask (again, the smell!!).

oh wait - i also got a small bottle of flying fox shower gel. guess what that smells like ? lolol. ok but it is made from a huge amount of honey (it is the first ingredient) so i really couldn't pass it up... maybe i will be sick of that scent soon. but i doubt it /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

It's happened to me a few times with different things.  I just logged out and logged back in, and the issue fixed itself.  I think it's just a browser annoyance.

I just tried a different browser and it still tells me the same thing, so I just emailed CS.

Is anyone having problems with BB CS? I emailed them 8 days ago and still no reply /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

has anyone used the stainiac in other colors? i really liked it as a blush and want to try the other colors but am particularly wary of the homecoming queen...

I just went to leave my feedback for my items this month, and after reviewing the Juliet Has a Gun Not a Perfume sample, I got the following message:

Whoops! Reward points are only available for products you have received.

I e-mailed CS, but just wondering if anyone else ever had that happen. All of my other samples let me leave feedback without any issues.

I just bought the full sizes of beauty queen and prom queen from the birchbox site because I loved the sample so much! It's hard to find information about prom queen and homecoming queen (not that many useful swatches, imo) but this site has a bunch of reviews and people describe the colors. Prom queen is a strawberry pink and it seems that homecoming queen is anywhere from popsicle orange to a nice coral color lol I'll leave a comment about prom queen when I get it....

For those who got bad results - have you tried rubbing on lemon juice to get rid of the color?

Has anyone tried the staniac as a cheek stain. I've used it for my lips but am nervous about trying it on my cheeks cause I dont want it to mess up my foundation.

imo, it's quite sheer, it doesn't mess up my foundation.

I'm not a big blush person and I found it very subtle and complimentary. (I applied it like the BB video said to.)

I only use it as cheek stain, doesn't mess my foundation up at all /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Try it and see...you can always retouch your foundation if it gets messed up.

I just got around to using the Number 4 Prep and Protect spray.  I am in LOVE with it.  It made my hair super soft and it smells really good.  Thank you, Birchbox.

I am NOT a fan of the Staniac though.

Stainiac is the best on cheeks. I use it on top of my tarte AC foundation, my colorstay foundation...it never messes it up and always looks natural.

Thanks for the tip!  I've never heard of this!  I know what I'm doing when I get home.  (I've been exfoliating like mad for the last two days, with only minor improvement.)  If I could have managed the application, the color actually looks pretty good next day in the areas that I don't look like a bronze dalmatian.

I'm having trouble applying the Staniac. I do it like Mollie does in the video but when I blend it seems most, if not all, of the Staniac comes off onto my fingertips and they turn red. Any hints or tips?

I also love the Number 4 Prep and Protect spray and I love that it is a really big sample too.

The same thing happens to me. It looks like nothing on my cheeks, but it is all over my fingers. Blah.

Did anybody who received the Stila One-Step Bronze actually like it? I was bummed I didn't get it in my box, so I picked up a small sample from Sephora to try at home, and wasn't that impressed.
