What color did you get?

It was from months ago, but it was in pearl.

Ohhhhh... Is that your color? I actually use the bronze. Great, I hope I get the right color!

Ooh, nice that the Jouer is the bigger size!  They must have gotten the hint when people were less than pleased than the small one . . . I got it in Sample Society and also one of this month's Birchboxes I think and I was hoping it was the bigger Sample Society size and not the previous small size that we got in Birchbox.  I wasn't sure because Sample Society supposedly gives bigger samples but I love both.  I've found some great brands through both and I keep both.  Um, also because I am a subscriptionoholic.  There, I said it.  Feels good.  At least I have a support group!

This is interesting. Now that the July boxes are finally up, the box they're showing for one of my accounts is NOT the box I got! They're showing the same box for both accounts, but the box I got today (box 3) is not what they're showing on my account (box 15).  I'm actually happier with the box I got (Box 3 - weight .51 ), but I won't be able to leave fb.  I don't know if they can fix it on the website if they just shipped me the wrong box.

I am so excited. I am getting box 7 & box 2!!!!!!!!! I have wanted a beautyblender for forever. I am really happy with BirchBox this month /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[galaxiigrl]

I've roughly calculated the value of box 20:

1. Alterna Bamboo UV+ Color Protection Fade-Proof Fluide: Full size 2.5 fl oz, $24; Sample size 0.25 fl oz, $2.40

2. blinc Mascara: Full size 0.21 oz, $24.00; Sample size 0.141 oz, $17.45

3. Harvey Prince Hello: Full size 50ml, $55.00; Sample size estimated (by me) to be 3ml, $3.30

4. Jouer Luminizing Moisture Tint: Full size 1.7 oz, $38.00; Sample size 0.17 fl oz, $3.80

5. Tea Forte minteas: Full size 3 tins, $9.95; Sample size 1 tin, $3.32

6. Birchbox Earbuds: estimated value of $5

Total value: $31.95
Not bad, value-wise!

Does anyone know if the boscia blotting sheets are full size?

I believe it's a pack with 25 in them, but I'm not 100% sure!

I just saw that they started to show the link to my box on BB. I had a weight of 0.4930 and will be getting box #1: AHAVA Purifying Mud Mask Oscar de la Renta live in love Laura Geller Double Dipped Lipstick in Caribbean Kiss Manna Kadar Cosmetics sheer glo shimmer lotion Birchbox Exclusive Earbuds A little sad I won't be able to try out the liquid eyeliner - I've never used one before. But, I think overall I might enjoy everything about the box besides the fragrance. The scent might be nice, but I probably won't be wearing it much. We'll see! In the meantime, while I wait for my birchbox to arrive, I can drown my impatience in the Zoya polishes I ordered on the 5th. I got America for free after buying Tiffany and Chloe after seeing a code on one of the makeuptalk boards. ~Matahari

Ok I don't want anything from my box other than the earbuds to try. Here is what I got:

Looking to trade the whole box with eyeko skinny liner or ESPECIALLY LAURA GELLAR DUO LIPSTICK!! EEEP! or depending on offer I'll slowly break it off one by one. hehe /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[galaxiigrl]

Good question! I haven't opened it yet, just in case I decide to swap it (I probably won't), but I have fair skin, and from looking at the shades on the Birchbox website, it looks like Glow is a light shade. Here's hoping that you get the bronze!

[omgitsliz]

I will definetly be putting the eyeliner up for trade. blah =/

 

[MaymayLove]

Birchbox updated our boxes online - I got july box #14. 

I'm canceling after this box, I've been subscribed to BB for a few months now and hadn't really decided if I liked it or not, but this box just pushed me into canceling. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Do the things we put in our profile even matter? 

I think the only thing I will possibly use from this box are the headphones that everyone got, but even so, I don't need them because I have a few already.

I actually don't like using mascara or shadows. I am a big user of lip products, eye liners, polishes, and bb cream. 

So you can see my disappointment and imagine my rotten luck that out of 31 boxes, I get one of the two boxes I absolutely did not want. 

I'm going to post it up for trade if anyone wants it.

I'm getting:

blinc Mascara

Harvey Prince Eau Flirt - Lavender Pumpkindirt. luxe salt scrub - lemon leafLÄRABAR über

Stila in the light eyeshadow paletteBirchbox Exclusive Earbuds

I want something with the polish, liner, or lipstick/gloss.

I am pretty happy with my two boxes:

First account:

1) Harvey Prince Eau Flirt-Lavender Pumpkin: Sounds like a nice combination of scents and I can't wait to try it!

2) Gloss Moderne High Gloss Masque- I love hair stuff and I've been needing a new masque

3) Color Club Summer Pastels Collection- I'm hoping for the Blue Ming but I love nail polish in general.

4) Larabar Uber- I'm really picky about my food. I've also heard some people like it and some don't. I am on the fence about it.

5) Manna Kadar Cosmetics Sheer Glo Shimmer Lotion- After reading about it I am actually excited to try it out

6) Suki Balancing Regimen- works for combination skin types like mine so I will definitely try it out

7) Earbuds- I go through these like candy so they are definitely something I will use

Second account:

1) Tea Forte minteas- I like mints so I will try these out

2) boscia green tea blotting papers- 25 papers seem like a lot and I like blotting papers

3) Gloss Moderne High Gloss Masque- duplicate but I am okay with that

4) Stila It's Go Time Lip Trio- this is one of the things that I wanted most

5) Juliette Has A Gun Vengenance Extreme- I've been wanting to try this since they first had it and rose, vanilla, and patchouli sounds like my scent

7) Earbuds- yay

I also will be getting box #8, and I agree.

I am excited to try the manna sheer glo. I've been using Burberry Beauty Fresh Glow and love it. I'm interested to see how they compare.

The Suki regimen looks interesting, I hope it is a packet of each product shown in that kit, especially the clay mask. I have cystic acne, hopefully it will help.

I saw a posting of someone comparing the blue ming to essie turks and caicos. The blue ming was a little more aqua and a pretty summer color, so I'm excited to give it a try. http://caittsnails.blogspot.com/2012/03/color-club-blue-ming-swatch-comparison.html

I'm mostly excited to try the gloss modern. I love hair masks, especially coconut smelling products.

I'll give the lara bar a try.

And I'm always misplacing my earbuds so its nice to get a new pair. I won't feel bad when I lose them.

There is a birchbox video for the eau da flirt, they make it sound like love potion no 9! Bah whicha wa waw

I was hoping for box #1, but I'm happy with #8. I'm actually not going to trade anything from it this month.

 

[productjunkie14]

Another box 6 here ! Overall pretty happy but will definately trade the color club and the perfume. Any actually receive the box yet was wondering if you get the still trio or just one ?

 

[Janamaste]

Does anyone know what size the   Gloss Moderne High Gloss Masque is?

It looks large in the picture.

 

[tulippop]

I'm getting boxes 14 and 19  and would love to trade all of Box 19 for either Box 2 or 6 or 21

Box 14



Box 19

 

[TinaMarina]

How funny! I'm getting the exact same boxes on my 2 accounts! I'm bit more excited about #6. I'll have plenty of minteas that's for sure!

[MrsYaYaMom]

Uhg, I am getting box 19.

I thought we weren't supposed to get repeats? I received the Jouer lipgloss in my first box and just got a mascara in my Glossybox. My Mom however got an awesome box, #5. Me = jealous.

 

[Dianochka]

I'm getting boxes 1 and 17. I think all boxes are really nice and have worthwhile products to try... However, I don't see much of a connection to Glamour magazine. Seems like a lot of hype and nothing of those really luxurious and "It" brands that would be featured in Glamour. I'm very happy with what I got, though. I think the earbuds are cool. Just don't quite see the connection to a big time magazine like Glamour. The Teen Vogue box was the best of the collaborations by far. It seems like they repeat a lot of brands because it's tough to get others on board. I was amazed when they got Dior. I'd also like to add that aside from the perfumes, all my samples can safely be lassitude as deluxe in size. Much better this time!

Since the Jouer Moisture Tint is a bigger sample than the one in February (I still have mine since I didn't like it then, and I compared and it's definitely substantially bigger - I should post a pic if I can figure out how), I wonder if the lip gloss one is bigger, too?  The January one was teeny tiny, almost unusable because it was difficult to apply.  And, if it's bigger, I wonder if it won't be considered a duplicate?  Or maybe it will be a different color and therefore not a dupe?  Just a thought.  If I actually liked the gloss and was excited to get another sample I probably wouldn't even send an email about it, but I thought it was too sticky and too bright last time and didn't really use it more than once or twice, so getting it again is kind of crappy.  But that's ok - given past experience I'm really hopeful that Birchbox will be more than fair with their compensation for it.
