(SPOILERS) July Birchbox partners with Glamour Magazine

[Babyeyez13]

Thank you for the info! I'll give them a call tomorrow! I have a feeling their phone lines are gonna be busy...

I received my box today and I loved it! I feel like this month is the best one in the past few months (then again, I feel like I'm starting to say that every month now).

Got my box today, on the same day I got my Glamour magazine this month. I was more excited by this coincidence than maybe I should have been. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I got box 13.

Did anyone receive this box, too? Or any box containing the...

Klorane Chamomile Shampoo?
It says it is specifically targeted toward (natural or chemically-created) blonde hair. Well, I have (dark) blonde hair, so win for me, but I wondered how many people got this who do not have blonde hair? Did BB actually tailor something to our profile, or was this just a lucky coincidence for me? I'm not even sure I filled out what color my hair is in my profile -- is this an option on the profile?

Just curious!

Also I was surprised to find that I liked

the Jouer lip enhancer and the Juliette Has a Gun fragrance sample! Yay!

Got my box today! It was box #8. I haven't tried anything yet, but I'm excited to see how everything works out! I've quit peeking prior to actually receiving the box--helps with box envy!

How big is the mascara? Is it a small size or a full size?

I believe only blondes got it! It seems like bb considered my profile this month, too. I got nail polish (which was my splurge), a little darker shade of highlighter (for medium skin) and a balancing regime (for my combination skin). yay!

OMG my boxes finally updated with an expected delivery date of July 19th.  Yah!  Though I wish there wasn't such a huge time difference between when people get the boxes.

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 would totally use a bright purple liner. Maybe I have something you'd like to trade?

I can't seem to get any actual blotting/oil reduction when using them.

I find they work really well a few hours after I have applied foundation and finishing powder, when my oil starts to seep through. They take away the excess oil and eliminate the need for me to schlep on more powder to matte-ify.

Did everyone with the .17 Jouer get it in the shade Glow? My profile shows that I have a light skin tone.. From samples I recieved from Jouer,, Golden (a shade lighter than Glow) was as dark as I could go when I am using St Tropez self tanner.. If I'm not using fake tanner then I use Pearl. If its not close then I will just swap it.. opinions?

I got box 1. The Ahava mask was too drying for my skin, the luminizer was underwhelming, I didn't care for the perfume, and earbuds don't work in my ears, but I really dig the lipstick, so between that and the 50 points I'm a happy camper. Sorry for not spoilering stuff. I'm assuming that people who aware they're getting box 1 by now are also aware of the contents. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I've only been subscribed for 3 months, and in May they held it for over a week, last month they held it locally for 4 days, and this month so far 5 days. They do the same with Myglam but not my other subscriptions which makes me think that maybe the UPS MI shipping is somehow seperate from their regular mail and they don't rush with it or something. That's my only logical theory to explain it. I wish I can just drive there myself to pick it up lol.

I've had some blemishes that just won't go away for a few months now. I tried the suki clay cleanser, toner, and moisture oil last night. When I woke up the spots were nearly gone! Great stuff.

I tried the suki exfoliating cleanser this morning. It's a little tough to get out of the foil packet. It's not a liquid at all, looks like brown sugar. Once it hits water in your palms it turns to a creamy, granulated wash, very cool. My skin is sooo smooth and healthy tonight. I'm definitely going to use my points for the kit. Highly recommend!
