(SPOILERS) July Birchbox partners with Glamour Magazine

[miss6aby]

I might end up with one.  Can't stand to see one of my fellow Makeup Talkers getting desperate, I'll try to help if I can!  I get my boxes when I get to the States in August and two are coming to me.  It's one of the months where having multiple boxes is making me a very happy girl! So if I get two purples, it could be a possibility.  I got one in black in last month's box and I adore it.  It is one of the best eye pens I've ever used.  Not too sloppy, easy to use so it doesn't make a big mess, amazing.  Did you try one of yours in another color?  What did you think?  I might have to try more from that brand, although people haven't been giving the Fat Stick as rave of reviews.  I used the skinny liner for a special dinner out and did a cat's eye winged eyeliner type thing and then muted it down by layering some shadows from the Naked II palette over it and it worked really well!  Sometimes those types of liners don't like to be layered, but this one worked out great.  My hubby even mentioned liking my eye makeup, and he doesn't mention specifics about makeup very often, so that was very nice.  If you don't end up getting one, pm me and we can maybe work a last case scenario out for you.  I probably would want to trade for other stuff as I'm swimming in eyeliners at the moment.  Here's my wishlist: https://www.makeuptalk.com/t/127270/full-sized-makeup-and-beauty-box-trade-list

Thank you! I have all the Eyeko fat sticks. I use them religiously. They are so soft compared to the urban decay 24/7 eyeshadow pencils. So I am surprised they are not loved as much. I did have a purple but traded it out thinking the other girl was going to give me a purple. Then something happened and got an olive instead. I'm very confused why she posted purple myself. Either way I did not think it would be this much craziness to get the purple again. I already have an olive and it is absolutely beautiful...a nice change from the black.

I can't believe I still haven't received my July Box!  The shipping finally updated and it scheduled for the 25th but this is just crazy.

For those of you who have ever had a missing item sent to you, do they sent you a conformation email, like an order? In my response, the rep said they would send one out. I'm just not sure if it will randomly appear at my doorstep or I will receive conformation.

When I asked for a replacement BB cream a couple months ago, I just got the package later that week without a conformation email.

I was missing the Eyeko from my first box this month, I emailed them last Friday, they emailed me back Monday to say they would ship it out right away, and it arrived in my mailbox today (in Ohio).  I didn't receive a shipping notice either.

I think they had some shipping issues this month. My tracking said my BB got to my city one day and then it was updated for another 5 days. It took much longer than usual.

I'm finally getting my 2nd sub sent out next week, the unfortunate part is that I'm getting the same box as sub 1 which is #6. It's an awesome box with Boscia bb cream, Stila lip glaze, blue ming color club, perfume, mints and ear plugs. I'm looking to try some new products, anyone interested in a full box trade? Thanks gals /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I just received my replacement box 15 (to replace a box 3 that was sent as part of the whole 3-for-15 fiasco, and it was sent first-class, so it got here much more quickly than the normal sent-in-waves boxes get here, and I did receive delivery confirmation), and it has an *extra* tin of Minteas.  They're both ginger pear, which is actually a flavor I've tried before and like, so that's neat.  I find it bizarrely coincidental (because I absolutely do not believe this was planned *at all*) that I got two tins of mints in a box that was a replacement for a box that was wrong *and* missing an item (the stila lipgloss).

On a different note, where at in NY?  I'm in NY too - syracuse area!

I'm right outside Manhattan, but I have family in Syracuse!!!

Ok, so I just spent four days at athe National Down Syndrome Congress Convention in DC, so I was staying in a hotel with some friends and we took a TON of photos. I put on the Jart's BB early in the morning (while my friend's son was smacking me in the leg going "C'mon Molly, we gotta GO!") and I was just looking at the pictures we took. My hair is a hot mess and my eyebrows need to be taken care of like whoa, but my skin looks damn good! Even in the photos at the end of the day where I'm being tackled by my friend's son (the kid is literally sitting on my chest in these photos while I'm laying on the floor) my skin still looks good!! I love when beauty products work...Too bad I have a head like a pumpkin. I really need to learn how to contour my face.

Hurray another Dr. Jart convert!!!!! hehe - I was at an esthetician's office using my groupon for laser hair removal on thursday, and she commented how amazing my skin looked - I told her what I used (dr. Jart) and she said that she was heading to sephora after work to pick up a bottle.

On a side note I received my birchbox AND my beauty army box friday (hmmmm BA, Iyou chose my samples on the 6th...what gives) anyway, between the two boxes I got 4 fragrance samples *cries* what a cruddy month. The Bosca BB is WAY too dark for my pasty self - I left it on for a full hour just praying it would adjust MORE...no dice. If anyone wants that, I barely used any, just a swatch and a thin coat on my face... I'd be happy to trade that, the Juice Beauty Green apple spf15 moisturizer(MG), my Josie Marin lip stain (MG) and my Jouer Luminizing Moisture Tint in Golden (0.17 SS)  for just about anything - an eyeliner, the buxom lip polish, amika mask, stila gloss, color club (anything but the blueming and the clambake)...yeh this month has officially been my worst this year - a trade would really make it a ton better /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

*edit (strike through for pending /completed trades)

My first Birchbox should be here tomorrow or Tuesday , hopefully. I peeked at the website, and if what I saw was accurate , I am supposed to be getting an eyeliner. I have no need for one in any color except brown or maybe olive, so if I get another color I'd be happy to trade. I need to make an official trade list, too, but I'm waiting on that BB to arrive. Your colors that were too dark for you sound perfect for me.

ok so im super upset.... on my profile it says i am LIGHT skinned with dry skin (i wish they had an option for fair)

i got the jouer tint in GOLDEN (the .07 oz one) and the boscia blotting linens,,,,, why would someone with dry skin get that???

and i also signed up for a 2nd sub and finally getting it this month and i am getting the jouer tint again... i hope its a lighter color and bigger???

This is one of the things I wrote about when they asked for feedback on the blog. I have olive skin. I WEAR GOLDEN! I got golden, so that's fine, but I don't understand why they are ignoring the profiles.

Totally off topic but...FOR ANYONE WANTING TO TRY MISS JESSIE'S HAIR CARE PRODUCTS....Go to their website.  Their is a tab in the upper right hand corner thats says "FREE SAMPLES".   You have to create an account and it does ask for your CC info but they say it is to verify you are real person but they won't charge you.  I entered all zeros for my CC# and it accepted it.  Got my samples in less than a week!!!!!!

 

[TXSlainte]

Finally, finally used my points to order the Jouer LMT in bronzed, and the Oribe anti humidity spray. And they arrived in 4 days!

Arrgghh! I received Golden too but I am very fair. Why don't they look at the profile for that? The sample is completely useless for me - all I can do is swap it or give it away. I suppose I at least got the points for leaving feedback (in which I kvetched about the color being wrong) but it is very disappointing nonetheless.

woops that was me! sorry i have been too braindead to catch up on the thread. mine did eventually arrive - and then a week or so later i got a second package, a replacement i think. i had emailed them to ask what was up and they said "if it isn't there by ___(forget date) then email us and we will replace it". but i never replied since it came the next day. but i guess someone was really on the ball and took care of it just in case which is fine by me!

Still looking for a beautyblender and blotting paper to trade for. I have tons of stuff on my trading list!
