(SPOILERS) July Birchbox partners with Glamour Magazine

[JacksBruisedEgo]

So, I opened my Manna shimmer lotion and...I can't seem to get it shut again? /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Anyone have any tips? I'm worried about it drying out (or getting everywhere!) I don't really have anything to de-pot it in, so if it lasts until tomorrow I might have to grab something at the store, lol!

The cap snaps into it if you tear it off and turn it upside down.

Did you get the darker shade of the shimmer lotion? It was too dark for my skin to use as a highlight, but tonight I used Mac paint pot in painterly as an eyeshadow base and then used the shimmer lotion in my crease. It  was the perfect no-make-up makeup for a summer night. Painterly concealed all my dark veins and the shimmer lotion gave me a nice subtle glow!

 

[lizzie123]

omg i didn't even know that the shimmer lotion came in different shades? i looks like i received the shade in paradise.I'm really not a fan of the color but using it as an eyeshadow base is a perfect idea thanks for the tip it seems like it would make a better eyeshadow base then a lotion that highlights some features on my face or body.cant wait to try it thank you!

Yea I think the lipstick makes up for everything else, what color did u get?

Caribbean Kiss. It's two colors, half pinky rose and half bronze pink. It's very neutral and wearable, either as separate shades or together. I'm not usually super impressed by "exclusive to Birchbox" shades, but this one is really nice.

I think that's adorable that you have a sweet husband that's tuned in enough to know what you're getting and notice that it wasn't what your profile stated.  That fits the definition of best friends to a tee, huh?  Have you been married long?  My sweetie and I have been married a long time and he knows how many subs I get and watches me with some fascination as I slather new potions on at night or complements me on new makeup looks, "You look really pretty tonight - different somehow than usual pretty" with a confused look as to what is different.  Yesterday it was a lip stain, a new mascara and using a Clinique cool brow thingy that has dark blonde thick pencil/shadow on one end and a highlighter on the other end.  I got that as a gift a while ago and just opened it to look at thinking about trading it ('cause I'm not blonde) and tried it before I could help myself, so if it wasn't for me, it would have went to one of my friends but I fell in love with it!  Really defined without TOO much color, especially in summer, I didn't want heavy, overly dark brows.

I got my husband to put on some eye cream with a sneaky massage.  I saw a beauty tip where it shows you how to take the cream and smooth it under and then over and around your eye socket as a massage going in circles and at first I thought, "hmm, sure, way for the companies to sell more pricy eye cream" 'cause it was from marketing, I think.  But one night I put on too much and did it and it was like a miracle!  It actually drains your lymphatic system in your face and you can feel the results in your sinuses.  He loved it.  He's not a guy to use potions, he uses the shaving products from Birchbox Man but that's about it.  But everyone can use some preventative maintenance, right?  And it's a really relaxing massage before bed, I'm going to look up some more facial massage techniques just from that, it has me intrigued.

so, i'm just in love with prince harvey hello. i've liked most of the perfume samples i've gotten (besides miss dior, i mean it smelled nice but not for a 21 year old) but none of them really had much staying power and didn't interest me enough to spend money on them. but i think i'm considering saving up points for the prince harvey one.

Boscia sold me on BB creams! I got a sample from Sephora so I could see what the fuss was about, and bought the full size in next to no time. The Boscia BB cream holds up longer through a day than most regular foundations, even in this heat, and I don't look like an oil slick by the time I leave work.

So my husband tried to the head phone last night (I had warned him people on the forum said they were crappy) and he tells me "this is like listening to people talking through styrofoam."  I go do you mean tin can?  He said "No a tin can is a tinny sound and these are just muffled."  To the trash can they went.  He also got my tea mints (I got cocoa).  Giving the Jouer to my coworker.

I too love the Harvey Prince Hello.  Glad it is a good size sample!  (Well it's taller than some of the other ones and it has the spray pump thingie.  I have got perfume 5/7 months with BB and 2 of the 5 had the little stopper, which I always manage to spill everywhere!)

 

[lizzie123]

ooops i copied the wrong list thanks for catching that fixed

 

[angiepang1e]

Finally received my BB! And it is awesome this month! I was super happy about the eyeko skinny liner but I'm pretty bummed about the earphones since they're in super cute colors! This is probably the only BB I've actually liked since I've subbed ;]

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

Just press it on the face where it's shiny/oily, not rub. I still like the Clean & Clear Oil Absorbing Sheets better because of the rubbery material it's made out of instead of those linen and rice paper sheets.

yup, happened to me and lots of others! CS is very aware of it. DEFINITELY call and not email, you'll get a response faster. They'll comp your august box if you do!

I love it too! I was convinced I would be buying it and asked my husband to smell me to make sure he liked it and he said its almost the same scent as the annoying secretary at his work wears. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Inset sad trombone: wah, wah, wah, waaaahhhhhhhh.

is the customer service open today for me to call them with concerns?
