the one I got was 0.07 

. I think 0.07 is too small to test the product.

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" />

Looks like they mixed up the 3s and 15s this month.  Same thing happened to me on BOTH my accounts! I was supposed to get #15 on both, but got two #3s instead.  I called  CS and they fixed it so I could leave fb  AND I'm getting both boxes free next month.

    The rep I talked to was aware of the problem, so apparently it wasn't just us.

I recommend talking live vs. email. I got through both times on my first call. I'm not exactly thrilled about either box, so it didn't matter much.  I'll probably be visiting the trade thread.

I'm really disappointed with my box (3). My Jouer sample was not even the right shade. The other samples I had already received from Sample Society. Plus a nut bar which I can't eat and headphones that don't work.

Do annual subscribers get the worst boxes?

I'm an annual sub and I got my first box last month. Both boxes I've gotten have been great so far! (I hope it doesn't start to get worse) I got the Stila Bronzer last month and Box #5 this month. =)

I found a swatch of the Laura Geller Double Dipped Lipstick on Tumblr:



Looks pretty!

Maybe all the people who got mixed up boxes with #3 and #15 can all do the perfect box trade?

Slightly off topic, for all of the people who confessed to being audiophiles do you guys have any recommendations for ipod dock speakers? My mom wants one she can put her ipod in to listen to music at home that's decent for her birthday. She has an ipod alarm clock now, but she doesn't like the speakers on it so I know she's going to be picky.

The top color is prettier than I thought it would be. I wish she had done a swatch with both colors together.

Question:

For those who have received your box, and the shipping date was for the 16th (to be delivered by), did the shipping info update to say it was out for delivery or did was it not updated?  Trying to figure out if there's a shot in hell of me getting my box today (on my birthday) cause that'd be awesome /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I have a Bose, and it's great.

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 ?


I LOVE my blinc mascara. I bought it a few months ago after I got sick of having mascara residue under my eyes halfway through the day. This always happened with every mascara I've ever tried - guess I'm just lucky 

 But this stuff does NOT budge. It doesn't do much in terms of lengthening which I could use but I would rather it stay put. I would give it a shot if you have the same problem I do.

I have a Klipsch and I love it.

So I got my Birchbox...It's not the same box that is on my profile. I'm medium skin they sent me bronze in the Jouer which is also a repeat....I will call them soon to see about this.

Update:

I called and found out there was a labeling error in there warehouse.  To correct the issue she changed my box on my account to the one I did receive and she also gave me free box for next month..Which is fine to me...

I did receive the Stila Lip Glaze and the Oscar de la Renta perfume smells really nice. Very good for the summer as well.

The Glaze is nice but after using MAC all week...lol I am running out of my MAC and love it to to much.

Update 2:

It says my comp box will ship July 23?

Women's 1-Month Comp Shipping:
July 23, 2012 BBW-Comp-1Month

Thats odd....

I second Klipsch. I got it as a present so I don't know how much was paid for it, but it has amazing sound.

i got busy/distracted with the toddler this morning and forgot to check, but it was here today (due the 16th) and yesterday it updated to a nearby city i think, but not MY city.

It seems I'm supposed to get Box 8, anyone else?

Also, I just got my 3 month code...any products that you suggest as absolute must haves? I know this can be different for everyone, but here are a few I was curious about:

Terry Creme De Rose - think it would be okay for combo skin? I generally try to stick to oil free but looking to change things up.

BY Terry - Baume De Rose.

Masqueology - Brightening Mask & Pore Minimizing Mask.

AHAVA - Purifying Mud Mask.

WEI - Chinese Rose Foaming Cleanser.

Plus, I need a really great, moisturing hair mask, so suggestions on that would be great (I see a few on their site). I spent a few hours at Ulta last night looking at hair masks and finally came home with several shampoos and a packet of a Macadamia Oil Hair Mask so I could use it today and get an idea...I was so overwhelmed. Seems like hair masks are getting really popular lately.

Suggestions Please?  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Ha, my delivery date is the 16th, and I've been wondering if it's going to show up on my birthday too (the 17th).

Thanks for the speaker recs, guys! She mentioned Bose, but I didn't know if there was something better. Both Bose and Klipsch seem about equal in ratings and price, and when I googled I found out that we apparently have a Bose Factory Store on the other side of town. I was planning on going out that way this weekend anyway, so it works out perfectly!

I've only tried the Brightening Mask. I didn't notice much of a difference. If my skin was brighter, I think it only lasted about a day. My favorite BB purchase is the Zoya Polish Remover. I bought it with my points after I heard good things about it. It's in a pump bottle so it's easy to use and spill proof, and it doesn't smell like regular nail polish remover. It has that Aveda natural spicy kind of smell to it. As soon as I tried it, I got rid of all my other nail polish removers and never looked back.

I got my 3 month anniversary code today also, and my box finally arrived (#4)...but the Eyeko wasn't in it. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I emailed them about it just now.
