(SPOILERS) July Birchbox partners with Glamour Magazine

[TeamB13]

The only colors available for purchase on the BB website for the skinny liquid eyeliner are turquoise and olive, not black  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  I guess maybe they sold out last month? 

Last month they only had olive and turquoise on the BB site too, but I received black! Not sure why it's not up there for purchase, but I've seen people get black this time around on YouTube too so there's still hope. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

If I really love it, I guess it wont be a problem, we'll see... I got the perfume (Live in Love) in Sample Society box last month. I like it, but I would have loved to try something else. The Alterna, earbuds, and Larabar are okay I guess....

I don't know how you ladies do multiple subscriptions! I only have 2 (Birchbox and Sample Society) and I already have multiple duplicates. 

That's one of the drawbacks to multiple subs, you're right. Finite amount of companies willing to participate leads to this sorta thing.

I REALLY want the Ahava mask. I will trade my color club nail and shimmer lotion or high gloss mask. I got box 8. If anyone wants to trade please message me !!!

Been lurking around looking at the goodies everyone else got, but I wanted to say for my second box, I'm pretty happy with Birchbox so far! I'm getting Box 5 this time and I'm mostly excited about the bb cream and eyeko. I've only tried Asian bb creams before and have been looking for a (hopefully) dark liquid liner! 

I've also realized that at the beginning when I'm still wondering what samples they'll be sending, I mostly gripe about the stuff I DON'T want (perfume, nail polish, bronzers/tanners) but then once I get my box/know what's in it, I'm pleasantly surprised or at least ok with receiving perfume samples, etc. I think I need to remind myself that I'm paying $10 for this and getting a full sized liner or other item is pretty good as is - and then there are 4-5 samples to play around with on TOP of that. However, I'm still not that thrilled with the earbuds and other personalized stuff from Birchbox that I've noticed in the past...I have a very good pair of earphones as is and don't want a pair of (most likely) poorly made ones. Sure, they're bright and cute, but I tend to focus on the quality of things I buy. At least the beauty samples they send come from consistently high-quality brands that, well, specialize in making these products. I know, why not let Birchbox do some advertising with their earphones, bracelets, and whatnot. But....I'd rather get food instead! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 

Oops that wasn't meant to be such a long tangent...but anyway. Still happy with Birchbox and I'm already looking forward to August!

Has anyone receved Dr. Jart BB cream this time around? I haven't gotten my box yet but I remember the big flap with empty tubes a few months ago and wanted to see if the issue has been corrected.

 

[surelyslim]

I think I'm getting box 4, so I have the blotting papers if you want. I like a couple items  in box 2 (so far!)

 

[ashleywasadiver]

I will be receiving box 10. Not really happy with it. I wasn't too impressed with the jouer lip gloss, and I tend to find lipgloss sample colors usually look weird on me. The hair Fluide might be nice, as I love hair oils, but everything else is pretty meh for me. I really wanted box 11 or 12, as i really wanted to try the skinny liner and those mints! Hopefully next month will be better, becuase I have really been considering cancelling due to my lackluster boxes for the past few months.

It appears I'm getting zadi list box 17.  I'm happy about it.  The only thing is I can't believe in all the recent months they've featured Stila I still have not got any Stila in my box!  Grrrr.  Really excited for my box though.  Damn you, BB--Stila is one of my most favorite brands and you never send me any.

Well, I peeked and I am getting box 1.  It's not that I don't like any of the products in there, but I was really hoping for the eyeliner!  I've never tried liquid eyeliner, and it seems like from people's reviews, this is pretty easy to apply.  I'm resigning myself to the fact that I won't get one... Does anyone know what a cheaper dupe might be?  I was looking at the Physician's Formula Eye Definer Felt Marker or the Maybelline Line Stiletto Ultimate Precision Liquid Liner.  They don't come in the pretty colors of the Eyeko, but I wanted a safer black or brown anyway.  Any ideas ladies?

You could use your points to buy the full sized!

My favourite liquid liner is actually Dior, which is not a good option if you want cheaper. lol So I guess I'm no help there. Sorry!

I have tried the Physician's Formula one, though. I didn't like it at all. It was uneven to apply/didn't flow well(and I was a makeup artist for 13 years... I know what I'm doing). It also dried up quickly.

I am getting box 4 and hopefully it will get here today. Wish I had gotten the beautyblender, maybe I'll have to buy it from the birchbox store. 

 

[Dollysantana]

I don't have a swatch unfortunately, but it is full size =) The pink side is gorgeous! (wearing it today). The bronze side is pretty as well though I will probably wear it less often. Its definitely my fav product in the box!

 

[Expatrica]

I wound up getting box 1 and I also love the lipstick.   /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[dragonfly57]

I got box # 2 and was super happy. I had gotten the cleanser in a previous box, so im glad I got to beauty blender.  The perfume is finally a scent that is exactly what I like.  Love glosses, and i wanted to try the jouer, although it is a tad too dark for my skin tone.

 

[gracewilson]

I was curious what the lipstick will look like too, so I googled it... found this blog (not my own) that has pretty swatches.  Apparently it was part of a QVC package earlier this summer.

 

[lunadust]

I got box #1 and I love the lipstick! I was opening my box yesterday, not knowing what was in it yet. I was like meh meh lotion.. creme.. mask.. meh.. opened up the tissue.. meh more oscar perfume.. wait waits this?? full size lipstick? ::checks brand:: SCORE!

I'm not sure if you can gift an existing account with a 3 month gift subscription, their FAQ doesn't give any details on that. But I did find that the 3 month gift expires after  the 3 months, and they have to re-subscribe to become a monthly/yearly member. I guess that means my friend has to go back on the waiting list after her 3 month gift is over?  Does anyone know if you can gift an existing sub, and if you have to go on the waiting list after it ends? Thanks!

I bought my mom a 3 month gift sub and when it was over she was able to continue it just by adding her credit card info to the account. Your friend shouldn't need to go back on the waiting list /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> (If I recall correctly, her account page said something along the lines of "your gift subscription has ended, please add credit card info to continue all the great benefits blah, blah, blah" so they tell you what to do on the site after the 3 months are over)

 

[Meggpi]

Well hey, the feedback form for the earbuds is different.  It's asking about what kind of Birchbox extras we'd like/not to see in the future.  I'm just glad for the 10 pts /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
