Yep, I like it alot..nice for a highlighter and I used it as a shadow base...LOVE it lol..another item to stick on my BB wishlist haul.

After reading all the good feedback on here I just bought the sample viles of Julliete has a Gun perfumes from their website. It ended up being 11 dollars which isn't bad since if you buy a full size they refund you that money. On birchbox it said that the person who makes these perfumes is related to Nina Ricci, and my mom is obsessed with those perfumes so I am expecting something amazing.

Got my BB today and I was really bummed. My eyeko liners cap wasn't on all the way and the product leaked all over everything. It was all in the cap it was all over the tissue paper and everything. Did anyone else have this issuse? I think I might be cancelling my account if next month doesn't get any better. I hate doing that but this is like 2 months in a row where things were wrong or broken or something and then a few months back we got expired products and it's just been a mess. I don't know what to do. What do you guys think? Are there any other monthy subscriptions you girls like? I might cancell BB and try something new just to get something different. I don't think I will go with MYglam though I had a bunch of issues with them but they seem to be doing alot better so maybe I will get on the waitlist and try one month to see if it's any better.

I should be getting my box today, finally! I feel like everyone else has had their box(es) for weeks already lol.

I totally agree. Usually by the time I get my box, everyone is already over theirs and talking about next month's box. If it makes you feel better, I'm not even supposed to get mine until Thursday.

My delivery date for all 3 of my boxes was today, and I got NONE of them. ahhh... this sucks and it has already depleted any excitement I had to get the stupid boxes. I should also mention none of the tracking (UPS or USPS) has updated since the 13th..4 freaking days ago !!

Well I'm glad it was just the eyeshadow card. I totally agree with everyone that it would be much better to send out one shadow in a pan than the crappy cards. Stila is really shooting themselves in the foot with this kind of thing. If i didn't have MUT to tell me otherwise then i would have thought the eyeshadow was just crap! The whole point of a sample is to make me want to buy a full size of their product.

I got the eyeliner in purple! Not sure if I'll use it, since I have blue eyes and purple looks weird on me. But at the same time, hopefully my other one that's coming in my second box is a diff color.

It's nice to have fun colored eyeliners.

The Lara bar was pretty good, I like the headphones because I use that kind for the gym.

Not super excited about the blotting papers, I feel like those are pretty useless to be honest.

The perfume sample is the same exact one I have the bigger size of, so at least I know I like it.

I got the tiny .07 Jouer sample. Weren't some people saying they got a 1.7 oz sample size? That just seems really unfair to me.

I got the color Bronzed in this box. Sample society sent me Pearl, which matches my skintone pretty well. I'll just mix this with my moisturizer and use it like a bronzer, that's what I do with the Garnier "BB" cream that I bought and it works.

All in all this box is alright. Kinda lack luster. But at the same time, it's only $10, so I feel like it's definitely still worth it!

Got box #3 (which is what i was supposed to get). It was missing the Larabar.  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Finally got my box today - Box 5 - I'm very happy with it! Not sure it's worth putting this in a spoiler but what the heck lol /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

The Eyeko liner is in Olive - I already have purple and black liners so it will be fun to try this one!

Let us know what you think about the Boscia BB cream once you sample it.  I really wanted to try it so am wondering what everyone thinks about it.  

 

[Meggpi]

That's packaging genius right there!  I almost want tiny shadows more than a full pan, because they are so cute.  Anyone who underestimates the power of perception is unwise.

I have to agree. I actually used the one I received a while back (the smokey card) and while I did get several uses out of it, it was mess. The real palettes on the other hand are better. I think the reason the cards are so bad is because there is only a small amount of product pressed on it and the method used to press colors to cards is different than pressing product into pans. I think it would better if Stila did something like what Sigma did for IMATS. This is a sample of their Dare, Bare and Flare palettes (one color from each palette) in a tiny mini-palette that's smaller than a bar of Ivory soap. I keep saying Sigma needs to make more of those as stocking stuffers come the holiday time

Between you, Meaganola and all the other people missing things.. anyone else think something fishy is going on? I said this before, but it's just odd that so many boxes are missing stuff. Has this happened in the past?

Where are you located. My daughters first box shipped yesterday and it was in our mailbox today.

 

[tulippop]

I got one of my two boxes today and I did get the Larabar that so many people seem to be missing, except mine was opened like someone squished it and it popped open on the side.  It doesn't look like anyone ate it or anything but it's still going in the trash.  =/

No Larabar vs. Opened Larabar, I think I'd rather not get one because there were crumbs in my box and on the stuff.

 

[zadidoll]

From my recollection not with Birchbox.

Since they aren't tied in with anyone next month, you might get a welcome box. It doesn't look like anyone got one this month. Are you sure you have to wait for next month's box? Because my first sub started late in the month and I got that month's box.

I think it says it ships july 23rd.  do you think that would still be the july box?

You will probably get the box my daughter got. This was her first month and she received it today.

The gold is PERFECT for my skin, so I fear that the water fuse would be a tad too dark.  I know that all these bb creams are supposed to sort-of-adjust but I can't even use tinted moisturizer that is a hint too dark because it looks so obvious (at least to me)

Have you tried the Water Fuse too? I really want to buy one but have only tried the Water Fuse so i have no basis for comparison. I have oily skin, so water fuse doesn't seem the best choice, though i do like what i've experienced so far. I am looking for that even look that BB creams give, no heaviness, not too much dewiness, and of course no break outs!

Let me know, i'm soo tempted to buy the one you have.

i have oily skin and bought a full sized water fuse BB to try. i would not recommend it. my skin felt so greasy and heavy after just an hour or two. i didn't have an issue with it blending, but the formula is not meant for oily skin, certainly not in the summer.
