(Spoilers) Birchbox October 2013

[lexxies22]

Did you know that they sell Eqyptian Magic at Costco now?  Well at least in California

Yeah, someone mentioned it in one of other posts. I'm not a member but do live in CA. My mom is a member and is due to come visiting this Thursday! Whoa I just checked calendar. Boy, I better get busy! Hahah

Updates😊

Halloween. Just remembered the Violent Lips things. Please ... Nooo. I also second that Caudalie cream not being as awesome as other creams. I've been using it for a few days and it's not moisturizing and it takes a lot to do anything. My hands are really rough, so I thought maybe it was just me, but it's not. I'm a little disappointed because I really wanted to try it. So, now I hope Birchbox sends more Egyptian Magic cream or something like it. I have to decide on a new full-size hand cream for this Winter.

Oooh, yes!  I know some people are hugely anti-perfume, but I do love the smaller luxury brand ones (i.e. Folle de Joie and Atelier scents!)   I would also love a Sumita color in NOT-black!  Maybe a nice olive or purple...

I would love to try these perfumes!!!

 

[jkfinl]

I want Dr.Lipp, perfume samples, the apple mask thingy, make up, the Whish armpit swipes

 

[lorizav]

Colored mascara, eye cream , brow gel or wax, fall nail colors, a good lip balm like Korres , tools, eye makeup remover, a bath bomb, a foot cream that really works, hair stuff but not foils, I loved the Davines.

 

[jkfinl]

Yes something for brows would be welcome.

 

[thinkpink7l7]

Updates please! I would love any sample from benefit...since I havent yet received one in my box.

I agree! Really would like to try the eye cream!

dark lipsticks (I NEED SOME, i'm sick of all my pinks and corals), skin stuff as always, a nice sultry perfume from atelier, and i agree about the sumita eyeliners too, i got black last time but would love to try the dark blue for fall. ALSO a dark instain would be wonderful (or any dark blush), something kind of plum/mauve.

I agree with everything unless the lipstick is red. I have gotten at least 5 red lipsticks/lipgloss in the last 2 months. I'm ready for another color!

I got the Chella brow pencil in my Ipsy August bag, and a Benefit Gimme Brow! as part of the Benefit Lashbash, so I'm all "browed out" for now!  I hope they send you ALL the brow stuff!

I still want to try the Stila in Beso.  Crossing my fingers it appears again in some boxes this month!

I agree! I got a nice brow pencil in the CEW box that is the perfect fit for my hair color so I'm set on those for a while!

  I also echo all the sentiments about getting some of the items that were missed in Septmber. It seemed like there were so many neat/interesting/different items this month and I didn't get any of them! (except the green apple peel, i cannot wait to try that!)

I am good on brows and lips.  I find myself wanting a plum/brown/mauve for fall.  I would also love some sort of bath product for the cold weather and a winter weight moisturizer.  I'm loving the Fox Hunt color for Fall!

 

[barbyechick]

Ooh, time to start thinking about October. Such great ideas, and another that would love a chance at a ton of the stuff I missed out of in Sept

eyeshadows (no coastal), jewel toned eyeliner, colored mascara

makeup primer perfect for heavier foundations in fall

extras: gorgeous barrette, hot chocolate stick (better than more tea), makeup brush

 

[luckyme502]

I would love some brow stuff, a really nice cuticle cream, and an eye cream. I have one eye cream right now and I'm not loving it.

 

[NicoleRoyer]

updates!

 

[meaganola]

I have no idea what I'm hoping for! I think I have everything I really want except a wine cream blush, which I highly doubt would ever show up in Birchbox. I think I'm going to cross my fingers for complete seasonal surprises. New stuff even if it's not necessarily seasonal would also be great. And no black eyeliner -- ever.

 

[Bizgirlva]

I'd like some blotting papers, and I hope that Amika dry shampoo makes it's way to me at some point.  

Thinking about giving the men's box a try for my bf's b-day.

So MSA renewed her account for yearly and checked out the $200 ultimate gift collection I think we were all curious about.

For another $90, I don't feel like it's worth it to get another "$100" in gifts when you could get the stuff for cheaper via their shop just worth coupons and points. If I were going to spend $90, I'd rather personally pick out what  Also, I feel like it sets BB up for some weird expectations if your first box is a bunch of full-size goodies and then you get small samplers the next 11 months...

Hi everybody! I hated being m.i.a. Last month. I missed my new "neighborhood" here! I got in a car accident labor day weekend and had a short hospital stay. Next up I have to have a procedure on the 10 th to help my poor back!! Ugh! So I may go missing a bit again but for now YAY for talkin bout makeup!! I have a profile question. I've been trying to change mine up since I haven't gotten a good for me box yet. Every single color cosmetic has been bright coral or straight up orange. Do you think that may be because I have classic & adventurous checked? I'm more into traditional type neutrals and more berry or darker pinks for color. Orange and coral clash with my skin in a nasty way!! Even tho I'm a classic fan I DO like to play and experiment. I've surprised myself thru trying things in subs I would never think to buy then end up loving it. SOOOO I had classic & adventurous checked. I just changed it to classic but am afraid that may turn boring. Any suggestions?

I agree, it seems like a terrible deal. Not to mention that you'll possibly get repeats of the full size items anyway. Way better to spend points and/or straight up cash in the shop on things you definitely want.
