Birchbox - The March boxes

[britles]

I used it, loved it, and broke out too /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

After someone recommended Garnier's BB Cream though and I do like it. Warning, it is high on scent and I need a finishing powder over it (which I needed with Jouer too) but they do work similarly minus the blemishes and hefty price tag.

I thought it would be sheer but it has a nice color payoff. I think it looks more like a lipstick than a stain actually. I love my box JUST because of this product (I've been wanting to try it out for forever!) How many different shades were sent out this month?

Wow, that is awesome advice! Thank you! I will definitely give that one a try. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 They Sent me 6 free samples!!

How do you know what box you are getting, everything I received including shipping notice said TV  and my confirmation on BB website  says BB01  Is that my box number?

I used it a few times, and I too have had a couple of breakouts. HOWEVER, this is also the...time of the month when I often get hormonal breakouts, so I don't know if it is entirely from the Jouer.  I've also been really stressed at work and not getting as much sleep as I'd like, so I imagine my breakouts are more hormonal than anything.

Has anyone used the Jouer moisture tint yet? I ADORE it, but I've noticed my skin breaking out this week, and I don't usually break out this much. I've been trying so many different things lately it's hard to pinpoint what it could be! (Darn all these skincare samples I've been getting, my skin is wondering what is going on!)

I haven't seen many review for this yet - I hope my problem is just hormones or something!

No, that just means that you have a monthly subscription.  Go to the birchbox site, and click on the "Box" tab. you should see the products you're getting. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I am a BB noob, so that picture of the box by the tracking is exactly what I am getting?

There is a link back in the thread somewhere (sorry I don't remember it!!  

) and you just click it and fill out the form asking for samples! They arrived like literally 2 days later! I bet you could go to the MAD skincare website and find a way to email them too if you don't feel like looking through all the pages.

I've been using the Jouer moisture tint for about 2 weeks, and I really like it.  My skin might be different from yours though.  I have really dry skin and use Retin A, which makes it even drier.  I put the  Jouer on over my regular moisturizer and eye cream.

hahahah I KNOW. I did the same. They've sent me 3 envelopes of samples since I first requested them.....which was a long time ago, I think I was the first one here to get them.

 

[Almostcosmic]

Thanks!  I think I am happy, it's Essie and a lip tint so that's pretty cool.

 

[marybbryant]

Some of you might think I'm odd, but I think I like my regular Birchbox beter than my Teen Vogue.  Not that I'm not happy with the Teen Vogue, I am, but I really love getting skin and hair care products.  I havent actually rec'd either yet though.  My regular BB is sitting in my PO Box waiting for me, and my TV is being delivered on Thursday.  I'm going to be at the post office at 5am tomorrow morning when they open before I head off to work!

 

[beautybeth]

That is really interesting! I have combination/oily skin, but have been using retin-a micro and it leaves dry patches on my skin. The jouer seems to make the dry patches less noticable, unlike a lot of foundations I've been trying lately. The jouer sample is so small, I only have one use left - I think I'll try it again tomorrow and see what I think. I love all this feedback!

I received the https://www.birchbox.com/shop/apothederm-stretch-mark-cream, I do not want this if anyone wants to trade me for something.
