The Stila gloss is prettier than I thought it would be, but I don't know if I should open it or trade it (I got Lights). I gave BB a call, but I just got voicemail. Hopefully they'll respond to me. Also, I gifted myself another subscription with my points! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Maybe that will have to me too? lol!  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

What kind of mints did you get? /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Ginger pear. I'm not a huge ginger person, but these are actually pretty nice!

Also for those of you who like beauty blenders, what's so special about them?  Is there a certain way to use them?  I tried using it with my BB cream and it doesn't seem to look as good as just using my finger, but I was just kind of dabbing/pressing it on my face so maybe I'm missing something about the technique...

I was just thinking about my beauty blender today. It was a holy grail product for me when I used foundations. However, since switching to BB creams I truly think fingers work better and also I sometimes use the Tarte Airbrush finish foundation brush.  Some of my thicker BB creams benefit from using the brush.

A trick I like to do is spray a little MAC fix it spray to the brush and spread the thick BB cream with it. Leaves a nice dewy but even look...  

Ok one of these days I'll finish the design of my blog and I can start posting all my stuff there...

Got my 3 month code. Any ideas/reviews on the following?

AHAVA Purifying Mud Mask

and

amika Obliphica Nourishing Mask
Love the Amika mask.  Got the sample and then bought the big yellow tub with points and discount.  It works like a dream and leaves my hair soft and shiny.  It smells "warm" to me--faintly of vanilla and berries.

LOVE the Nourishing mask, I too bought the large tub with a discount and points! I use a generous amount once a week and it leaves my very dry and color damaged hair feeling amazing and the smell is great too!

Ok you guys convinced me, its in my shopping cart. Now to decide on a second item...

 

[arendish]

Got ahold of someone at BB and as people have said, my August box is on them (due to getting the wrong box). I feel bad for those who were supposed to get 15 and got Box 3 instead, I feel like I got the better deal on that switch.

They have such great CS. This is why I cancelled GB and got a second BB.

 

[Carol Ann]

Add me to the group that got box 3 instead of 15...My daughter was really looking forward to box 15 too.  :-(    I wouldn't bother notifying them except for the fact that she can't even do feedback as they have box 15 available for her to do feedback.  Oh well, better luck next time!

 

[Naun-Negotiable]

quick, someone help me decide if i should trade away the (highlight) mascara or try it. cos i love to try stuff. hehe. itchy twitchy fingers. but i want an eyeliner so bad! any takers?
... i won't be able to resist opening it for very long. heh heh

the jouer TM and alterna hair stuff are both up for trade too btw
 

also i thought it was going to be brown from the tube thing but i guess they are all black ?

Yeah, getting box 3 versus 15 was kind of dissappointing, but we did get the free month! And apparently now lots of people have called about it so they might be sending out the box anyways! We'll see!

Yay for amazing CS.

She can 'review' box 15 as a work of fiction; Birchbox would never know the difference! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Hmm, the one I got was .07. I wonder why some are smaller and some are larger...

 

[AngeBrooklyn]

My shipping finally updated, and it says that they attempted to deliver yesterday.  I live in a 24 hr doorman building with a porter and super on site.  The postman can't even get to our mailboxes without being let in by the doorman.  I somehow got all my other mail yesterday.  Grrrr....

 

[lovesmakeup2012]

My box has arrived!

And whoever said that the Manna Kadar Cosmetics sheer glo shimmer lotion had an awful top was not lying! Lol. Good thing I remembered that comment or it would have splashed on me. I put it in an empty Nordstrom sample container.

Good idea. I need to do that with mine. That lid is unlike any other I've ever seen. LOL.

 

[lovesmakeup2012]

And the Jouer gloss I already had (same shade in Wind too), it's the same size as the one Jouer sent me when I requested samples.

[JadedBeauty]

So does this mean if it says we are getting box 3 on our account we are actually getting box 15? Or is that just for some people?
