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" />

By Terry Creme de Rose Nutri-Lift is great for combination skin.  I'm slightly oily in my t-zone and dry to normal elsewhere.  It goes on smoothly and my face feels soft to the touch.  The rose smell is pretty strong (which I like, but not everyone does).  I havent' used the other items on your list. 

And I love the Amika hair masque.  I use it as an every day conditioner.  Others have mentioned that they'll put it on heavier once a week for a conditioning treatment.  And it smells yummy.

My tracking # hasn't updated its been 4 days, I already copied the tracking number on the USPS tracking & nothing /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Either they haven't sent my box and they just sent me a tracking # or its lost super sad

Thank You! I actually love products that have that natural rose smell, there is something comforting about it. Amika...not familiar with their products so I may look into that. I just noticed, I am getting the Gloss Moderne in my box...let's see how that one works, too!  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Anyone who got box 17, what (highlight) flavor larabar did you get?

 

[beautyandbrains]

I got my boxes today!!!

The Manna Kadar shimmer lotion is being sampled in two shades and I got a sample of each between my two boxes. The lighter shade is a perfect highlight for my pale skin. The darker color, not so much, but I tried it as a cream eyeshadow and it worked.

 
Also, I just put on the Oscar de la Renta perfume and at first I wasn't a fan, but the more I smell it, the more I really like it. It's very sophisticated not sickly sweet like the other perfume sample I got, Eau Flirt - which smells nothing like pumpkin or lavender to me, it's all citrus. 
  Does anyone have luck putting on two coats of Blinc mascara? It dries so fast!

Nevermind, it was discussed already!! I'm a little slow!

Do you usually recieve it faster? My box hasn't been updated since Monday morning, and it's local but hasn't moved since. They always do that with my Myglam and Birchbox- holding it for about a week before it gets to me. =( So hopefully it's that and not lost.

 

[serendipity720]

people who are asking if you always get an intro box- Last month (june) was my first box and I didn't get an intro box, I got a regular box with the full sized stila, but I did sign up at the very end of may or early june. I finally got my july box today! I don't know what box number I got but it was:

color club-blue ming

eyeko skinny liquid eyeliner in black

harvey prince hello (so glad this has a spray bottle!!)

jouer luminizing moisture tint 

extras:

it says tea forte minteas  but actually I got the larabar in bananas foster. maybe they ran out of mints? On my birchbox account it shows the larabar. 

and of course I got the headphones /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Over all I am super happy, kinda wanted the mints but oh well, It seems I am always getting food! (I got a bar of some type last month too).

I was most disappointed with the jouer luminizing tint because it is sooooo tiny, but at least it matches my skin tone. I love the nail polish color and will obviously use the eye liner too!

It varies every single month sometimes they ship it out on the 8th or sometimes on the 10th.

They sent me a tracking # on Tuesday and I click on it but it says that its not even in the system to please give it up to 24 hours to 48 hours for it to "activate" so does USPS website.

Which is weird because usually by the next day it will have updated. Not sure if anyone has gone through this same issue.

for everyone who is saying their jouer lmt is tiny, is there a pic anywhere? i guess i can't picture it

Long time Lurker, first time poster:

I got box number 4, and two of my samples were missing (Live in Love and the Jouer Moisturizing Tint). The Eyeko Skinny Liner is bright purple, so the only really usable sample is the Boscia blotting sheets. The Cherry Cobbler Larabar was good, but the headphones are crap (tossed off to sister).

I'm really hoping next month is a great box.

I really love the Macadamia Natural Oil mask.  I use it once or twice a week and it stays with me through a couple washings.  It smells awesome too.  Not long ago Target had a 2 pack of them that was the same price as the single I had just bought at Ulta.

So I didn't realize that the Klorane Shampoo and Conditioner is specifically for blondes until I read the info on the BB site.  I wish I would have known before I found out what my box was! This would probably have helped me narrow it down since I'm blonde (I'm wearing a wig in my picture).  Anyway, I received my shipping email on Monday and it just updated yesterday.  It says it was in NJ yesterday but now it's in Atlanta so maybe I'll receive it before the expected delivery date of the 17th.  Also, I'm receiving Box #22.  The weight is 0.5700.  Seems like I'll enjoy most everything except the bronzer.  Not a huge fan of bronzer in general  so if someone wants to do a trade pm me.  I'd like to try the eyeko in colors other than olive.  Probably willing to trade the blinc mascara for that as well.

If you don't want the purple eyeko liner, and are interested in trading let me know.

I'm having the very same problem. I got my email Tuesday, but it still isn't updated with any info. I did email Birchbox, but just got the autoreply.

 

[TXSlainte]

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  

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

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

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

I got that in a previous box. I know a lot of people seem to like it, but I really didn't care for it. I say trade.
