(SPOILERS) July Birchbox partners with Glamour Magazine

[missionista]

I called CS today to ask about the repeat Jouer lipgloss sample.  Got a bit of bad news--they are sending a different color to what they sent in December, so it is considered a new sample not a repeat. 

While it is nice that they are sending a different color, it is still a Jouer lip gloss--how different can it really be?  The lip gloss from Dec. was nice, but I still have it and am still using it.  I just don't go through lip gloss that fast.  This seems like a repeat sample to me.

in regards to the amika^^ it smells awesome in my opinion, as far as how it works it did a good job on my hair

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!

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.

Thanks girls! I followed that link and now I want that whole set! I still haven't peeked at my box, so I don't know what I'm getting but I just might try to trade for that lipstick if I don't get it!

Nooooooooo, I want Birchbox pink! It looks like the perfect color for my complexion. When I saw the pic it reminds me of Urban Decay lip junkie in crush, which is gorgeous on me.

Did they happen to say what color they are sending this month?

If anyone has been wanting to try the Juliette Has a Gun perfumes, you can order a "discovery kit" directly from their website for about $11 (including shipping from France!)

You get a 2 mL vial of all 8 varieties, and they each come packaged in a little envelope with a card describing the perfume - super cute! Plus, if you decide to buy one of them, you are refunded the cost of the discovery kit. It's a pretty sweet deal.
Thanks you so much for this. I've been wondering who I have to shoot to get a Juliette sample. Glad I'm getting the Harvey Prince, but I knew I'd get stuck with Granny De La Renta in one of my boxes.

still waiting for mine - i suspect it got lost. bummer that they don't use tracking for these but i guess for 1 dollar shipping that's what ya get /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

if anyone does this and doesn't like all of them, let me know. i'm a huge fan /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

and this is exactly what I'm afraid of...

 I hope it arrives eventually.

I love the Amika and actually got the Spoil My Hair set from Birchbox with my points, as well as the full size Nourishing Mask (which is my favorite of the products). I personally prefer them to Moroccan Oil but admittedly that is because I am snotty about the MoroccanOil products being overpriced and having very little argan oil in them compared to the silicones they load their products with. Nonetheless, the Amika products work well and smell lovely.

Everything in the first box was perfect, but this one has a hair product for color-treated hair (which I don't have), and the LMT which I love but is in Bronzed and I'm super pale. Plus the Oscar which I've smelled before and hated cause I'm young and don't want to smell like my grandma. Ohhhhhh well. I guess it's okay cause I get the free box but I was very excited about it. Plus Boscia linens were in the other box and I was planning on using the free shipping to buy the BB cream. 

Haha I feel a little like a kid on Christmas morning who found out her parents bought her underwear as a gift.

This happened to me once. I was also super-excited by the box I thought I was going to get! I emailed customer service, and all they could really do for me was update the site to reflect the box I did get, which they said was the correct box, and as far as the things I really WANTED to try I was basically SOL (though they told me that nicely, lol).

Ok, but I wonder if the products that are showing up on your account are not the products you got are you still able to leave feedback for the ones you actually received?

I'm still waiting for my sample of Peony to come from Jouer, but from the pics, it looks like its similar to Birchbox Pink. I do like my Birchbox Pink, but it doesn't last as long as I'd hoped.

People were asking earlier, but I received the turquoise Eyeko. The website only has Olive and Turquoise now so I'm surprised if anyone is getting them in black this round of boxes.

They did not specify a color, just said some of Jouer's summer colors.  I'm guessing they are sending out several different ones.  If you did not get the BB Pink color before, maybe they will send that?  Who knows, when we receive it, we may love the new color(s).

That's a good point, if I don't like the color I get maybe I will ask Jouer for a sample, either peony or malibu. I like the crazy shades /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

i hear a lot about eyeko on this board but cherryculture.com has a lot of stuff from this brand on clearance if you're interested

I am sooooo not a foundation girl, and got the Boscia BB Cream in my box (#5).  Just tried it and it is AMAZING.   Doesn't feel like I have anything on my face right now and the coverage is decent without looking like you're wearing anything to cover blemishes.  If you didn't receive a sample of this in your box, I'd say the price tag for a full size is worth it.  My skin is acne prone and I have t-zone oiliness & I do not feel this makes my face greasy at all.

I got box #2 and i've gotta say i'm pretty happy! I got a beauty blender cleanser a month or two ago (i forgot) and was pretty pissed since I had no use for it. I'm guessing birchbox took this into consideration and sent beauty blenders this month to those people? Either way I'm glad since I was gonna buy one anyway! The stila lipgloss I got is in Action and its a very pretty muave-y color with golden shimmers. As far as the minteas, has anyone tried them in cocoa mate? And does it actually give you an energy boost?

I really want to buy the Amika hair products, but I haven't gotten any of the samples in the last two boxes :icon_sad:  Can anyone tell me what it smells like and how it compares to moroccan oil? If anyone has the two samples (mask and treatment) and the Boscia BB cream I would be willing to trade my blinc mascara, stila lip gloss, and the stila card palette for them.

I love the Amika oil! It's kinda heavier/musk (is that the right word?) like Moroccan oil but sweeter. I love the scent. I got a .3 oz. bottle months ago from BB and still have a lot left. Out of all the oils I have, it is the one I reach for the most. I usually just use it on the ends and it makes them look amazing. The Moroccan oil I have is the Glimmer Shine Spray and hairspray from NBTT.

I got the Cocoa Mate and tried one earlier today - I thought it tasted good, sort of light chocolate with a subtle mint touch to it. I don't know if it gave an enery boost, though - but I've been hanging around the apartment all day, so I wouldn't have even noticed. I don't imagine that it would really give much of a boost though - after all, it's one small mint and doesn't have any of the chemicals in it you find in energy drinks.

Thank you I think I am going to buy the travel size kit they have and spend my points!
