(SPOILERS) July Birchbox partners with Glamour Magazine

[heather4602]

So I got my second box today. I was not sure about it but once I got it I really liked it! I got box 15 and this is what I got

Blinc Mascara (may trade, I'm not sure would have to be really good)
Dirt Luxe Salt Scrub in Lemon Leaf (will probably trade)
Harvey Prince Eau Flirt (love it)
Stila In the Light eyeshadow palette sheet (I know people complain about getting these cards, but it has 10 different shadows on it) They only reason I am trading is because they colors are me
Larabar (that hubby ate)
Earbuds (my mom has decided she wants them)

I just got my birchbox I would like to trade my Eyeko liner in BLACK for the blue/teal colored one!

 

[MarbleSky]

Got my two boxes today and am soooo hooked on the Harvey Prince Flirt perfume. I don't usually like perfumes, but this one is amazing!

Got the Manna Sheer Glo and it leaked everywhere from a hole in the crimped portion. Bummer, but I don't think I would have liked it anyway.

Best of all I got the Eyeko Skinny liquid liner in black that I had been lusting after. Can't wait to try it out. Almost every eyeliner I've ever tried rubs off on my darn hooded eyes.

I got Blue Ming.

I got my box today!

I got the Eyeko liner in black and was a little sad, as I was hoping for a color. I mean, I'll use and love it, don't get me wrong, but some color would have been fun. I got the polish in Blue Ming which is pretty even though I don't like Color Club. I got the mints in Coco Mate and I'm excited to try them. The sunscreen is two little packets, hopefully it's good. I already own and love Eau Flirt.

Harvey Prince is my favorite perfume maker! So good!

My mom had this happen this month. She called CS and theyre allowing her to review her crap items & giving her a free month of bb!

 

[TaylorMorgann]

Sorry yall- that was in response to the girl who got the wrong box!

 

[Kittables]

Got my box today and it wasn't too bad. Wasn't too good, either.  



Pfft. Better luck next time, I suppose. Well, Birchbox does have the feel of a grab bag. Honestly, getting a box you're 100% satisfied with is like hitting the lottery. 

One thing I did absolutely love was the Eyeko liner. I got it in black. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Wow! It's so pigmented! Here's a swatch. 



See? Not bad, huh? I'm surprised I got it in the color I wanted. I didn't think anything of it when I was swatching it (as if all eyeliners were meant to be black-- haha!). Then I realized, "Oh! They come in different colors!" So, I got lucky with this one. :-D Veddy pretty, but a little hard to remove. I had to apply some olive oil and a bit of scrubbing to remove the color completely. I'm wondering... is there anything better than olive oil to remove eye makeup? I'd rather have something on hand that would remove heavy duty liner such as this in one swipe. 

Pfft to the Larabar. It wasn't all that. I loved the one that came in my Conscious Box last month. Mmm! Pecan Pie! Mwah to them for sending me my fave. This one was just sorta bland. I think I will be purchasing more of their Pecan Pie bars, though. lol. 

The Jouer Tinted Moisturizer came in "Golden". Booo! :'( See how light I am? It's just not gonna work on me. Do you think if I emailed Birchbox, they would send me a lighter color? I'm gonna try that.

I was a little sad that I got some stupid blotting papers, but there are actually 25 in there. A pretty good sample, I think. When I had peeked at my box prior to receiving it, I thought the Boscia would contain at least 3-5 wipes. lol... So, yeah... I was not happy at all. But, again, this isn't a bad sample size. I'll get back to you all once I've tried them. Has anyone else tried the Boscia Blotting Linens? What do you think? 

The perfume smells okay. It's just not for me. It smells like something my Grandma might have had in her collection. Then again, she had a wide range of tastes. I, personally, prefer softer, sweeter and often more floral scents. This one's almost powdery. 

Oh, and I didn't feature the earphones in here, but I got them in green/pink. Ew. I'm giving them to my MIL. I just got new purple ones, anyway. :-D

Inset sad trombone: wah, wah, wah, waaaahhhhhhhh.

Nooooooo! Guys can ruin things like that. I remember when I wore Coco Mademoiselle (no longer do), one day my husband was like, "Hey, that's nice. It kind of smells like what my grandma wears."

Killed the love for that perfume instantly.

i got blue Ming as well but i just looked through all my nail polishes and i have a color almost the same as the blue-Ming:/

Birchbox hates me this month. The ONLY item I really like is the AHAVA Purifying Mud Mask.  It really works well, and you only have to keep it on for a couple minutes! 

My main account got box #1:

1. AHAVA Purifying Mud Mask- /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
2. Oscar de la Renta live in love-- Smells Like a Grandma
3. Laura Geller Double Dipped Lipstick in Caribbean Kiss- YUCK
4. Manna Kadar Cosmetics sheer glo shimmer lotion- Too dark
5. Birchbox Exclusive Earbuds- OK

I hate the lipstick colors- the pink looks like a 60's Gogo girl color, and the coppery color makes me feel like a mob wife. 

and my Second account got #19

1. Jouer Moisturizing Lip Gloss
2. blinc Mascara
3. Tea Forté® minteas
4. Oscar de la Renta live in love
5. Manna Kadar Cosmetics sheer glo shimmer lotion
6. Birchbox Exclusive Earbuds

I already have everything that was sent in box #19 (also considering that 2 items were sent in box 1)- and really didn't care for any of those items, I gave away my previous samples of the lip gloss, mascara and mints and will likely end up doing the same for every item in this box.  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

My husband did something like that with a new top I bought.... He said it looked like something his mom would where! WTH! I was in love with that top until then...I then gave it to my mother-in-law for Christmas.

Hahaha! Ohhhh, guys... Luckily I hadn't opened the bottle since it was a backup, but I was still pretty miffed. I hastily exchanged it, and I  haven't looked back!

Well.. good thing I just subscribed to Julep!

 

[yousoldtheworld]

Well, I liked the black eyeko liner I got enough that I just used some of my points and ordered the turquoise and olive ones! Now if I could just get my hands on the purple...
