that stuff is amazing. i got it from sephora. it has better coverage than some foundations

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.

I guess it's like the nail polish. I've gotten 3 Zoya polishes in different colors, and I consider them to be repeats as well. I realize the color is different, but the product is the same. I don't need to try different colors to determine whether I like the brand or not. Same with the gloss - while it may be a different color, it's ultimately the same product.

I got the Arquiste Flor y Canto last month.  It's on BB's site for $165.  It smells good, but not $165 good. 

I got that sample a while back. To me it smelled just like Jennifer Aniston's perfume.

This is my fourth box and I am getting one of the three boxes with the Stila lip gloss, Alterna hair product, jouer , earbuds, Oscar perfume, and a Larabar.I got a luna bar last month and really wanted the mints but that is a pretty minor complaint. I have gotten a fragrance in every single one of my boxes so far so it would be great to get a box without one. I am happy for the ear buds even with the expected lowish quality, and I did really want to try the alterna since I already use their caviar shampoo and conditioner. I have gotten Stila the last three months, which I loved my eyeliner and liquid bronzer and I know a lot of people wanted those and didn't get them, I am kinda ready for a new brand though. That is the whole reason I signed up for Birchbox. My box will be here tomorrow and I am excited and like this box, but a little more variety in the up coming months would be nice. I can't wait to see what my sister gets in her gift sub/ welcome box that I got her, and my co-worker just signed up too, so it will be interesting to see what they both get for their first month.

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? 

When I called and they said they would give me next month gratis, she also updated my account so the box i got has feedback buttons for me /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

On a brighter note, I went on a Sephora spree and feel tons better. I went to buy ONE item and came out with FIVE. Seriously, what is wrong with me?!

 

[Dalylah]

Woohoo! Just got off the waitlist. *tosses confetti*

 

[tulippop]

Boo, my tracking still hasn't updated for both of my boxes.  My mom's just did today and has an estimated delivery date of July 17. 

Reading through the posts though it seems a couple of people got boxes that were different from the ones posted on their birchbox > july box page.  I'm happy with my 2 boxes but I think my mom's hoping that her's is a different one lol.  We both got a full sized mascara with GB so she's not interested in another mascara for a while and she says the jouer lipgloss is too bright.

She can tone the lip gloss down by lining her lips with a nude lip liner then filling it in with that liner topping it with a bit of the gloss.

that happened to me in February and i was pissed.  They offered me 100 points to make up for it.  My ideal Feb box was showing on the website (a box w/o perfumes and included a beauty blender) and i got something else (a unisex cologne, paper eyeliner thingie, etc).  Call them or tweet them at @birchboxops to get a direct answer.

Booooooooooo.  I didn't care for Birchbox pink (it's a very pretty color, I just prefer a more nude lip, and it's not my taste at all), and I also didn't care for the Jouer *formula.*  (Yes, I've also been complaining about the Stila lippie; I'm super picky about my lip gloss.  HATE sticky gloss, it makes me insane.)  I suppose for nail polish I'd consider a different color/from a different collection a unique sample, so no room to complain about this just because I didn't like this specific sample initially (that's what Birchbox is about, right?  Some you like, some you don't.), but it's still disappointing.

 

[cheetahchirps]

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" />

Those shades look a lot like Urban Decay Crush to me, and like YSL Glossy Stain in 15 or 17, if money's no object.

I'm thinking of buying the still lip glaze if i can't find anyone who wants to trade for one (so if you have one and wanna trade it away let me know via pm). but does anyone have  blog post with swatches and how the tip looks? thanks!

I had a moment of Birchbox synergy just now!

Last month I got the stainiac, but I've only really been using it on my cheeks since I can never get it to go on evenly on my lips. This month I got a stila gloss in camera, but it's really too gold for my skin tone. Just now though, I tried putting on the stainiac on under the gloss - talk about synergy. The staniac made my lips pinker/redder, so the gold in the gloss wasn't as noticeable, and the gloss covers up the patchy parts of the stainiac
