I got the AHAVA day moisturizer a while back, and it was awesome! Wouldn't mind getting more of that one, lol.

If that is the exact box I get I will be happy with it!! The only Ahava product I have tried is a cleanser (from a trade with you, actually

) and I loved it.
Awesome! I have the Ahava Dead Sea Mud Mask. That one is fantastic as well!! My concerns about this box like most ladies is the repeat items. I hope I don't get any repeats!!

Ooo gotta try that one. I am getting into masks now. I like the Pangea Organics one as well. Its great.

I wouldn't mind a repeat of the Algenist moisturizer if they still have them since I really liked the one I received. 

  I'd also love to try the Clark's Botanicals Marine Cream, the Kiehl's avocado eye cream, RMS Beauty Living Luminizer, anything Laura Gellar, and Korres Body Butter (since I wasn't a subscriber when/if they sent those out).  I'd also like to receive the Stila Bronzer since I didn't get one in the last box.  I'm just dreaming, though.  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 

If you ladies have tried any of the stuff in bold, please let me know if you liked it!

I would love to try most of the samples in the sneak peak for the July boxes.  Does anyone know what the Ahava product is?  I rec'd an Ahava Essential Day moisturizer sample in a previous Birchbox, but it wasn't moisturizing enough for my ultra dry skin, but I would like to try more Ahava products. 

This is off topic, but I rec'd the Zoya Bloggers Collection by Birchbox nail polishes in the mail today, and they are gorgeous!  I used the 20% off code they give for the 6 month aniversary plus 100 points. I really love this trio of polishes.  I also bought Jouer cream eyeshadow in Organza and the Ojon hair repair oil.  I tried the ojon oil before and liked it, but I'm wondering if I should have purchased the Orofulido instead.  Has anyone tried both of these?  Which did you like better?

Now I use my CellCeuticals cleanser which is also low- foaming and not a soap. It works just as well with my larger Clarisonic Plus.

One thing I personally would not do is use an exfoliant with Clarisonic. I know people do and maybe it works for them, but I tried it once, and my face was red as a beet for a few hours. I guess I have sensitive skin. I was afraid of broken capilliaries or something happening if I kept using the CellCeuticals micro-exfoliant with the Clarisonic..

I was taught as a teen when I was in beauty pageants to treat my skin very gently.. Those ladies helping us girls with our makeup knew what they were talking about. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 I love purity!!!! I have been using it for years, Since I started wearing makeup in 8th grade lol. its been a good 5 or 6 years. I cant tell you how many bottles ive gone through!! But my tip for anyone who loves purity is that they should buy the 32oz and decant it into a smaller bottle.

As for the exfoliant thing, I also use a philosophy product called the microdelivery kit and it has a jar or citrus scented exfoliating crystals,the size of sand, and you rub that into your face and then put the activating liquid and that is the treatments and cleansers I use for my face.

If you are maybe looking for something different, try the purity in the foam, I kind of like it because I feel like it cleans a bit better than the original purity.

There is NOTHING that Ahava makes that sucks. Their bath salts are ahhhhhhmazing! If they would make a cologne of the juniper scent, I would be a very happy lady indeed.

 

[bloo]

I've been thinking about getting a clarisonic mia, but my skin is semi senistive and breaks out easily. Just to throw out there I also have oily/combo skin. Would the brush that it comes with be good for my skin? I know they have different types and even one for sensitive skin, but I don't want to waste money buying an extra brush if i'm not going to like it. It will be a while before I purchase though as I want to save up a lot of points and then wait for one of my codes. I do wonder tho that since I was a member for 6 months before and I do believe i got the 6 months code before I canceled and will be coming up on my third month since I rejoined. Will I still get the 3 month code or something else?

It might be the Deadsea Water Mineral Body Lotion. I got it in a Birchbox before, and I really like it. It smells almost a bit like baby lotion and is really light on my sensitive skin. Plus, it's a pretty good sized sample. If that's in the Birchboxes, I'm sure people would like it.

I'd love to hear my husband try to tell me something like that!! The fight would a cage match to the death

(this is my Ninja look)...

Facebook IS annoying though. But we have family in New Zealand, Australia, Wales, Ireland and England, plus my family is all over the US, so  it really helps keep us all together.  If you really want to access sites that only let you log in with Facebook (which I'd actually send a complaint to them about that!!), you can use your own name, don't fill in any info, and just make it publicly invisible.Then you can use it as an easy log in.

I have a problem. NO Facebook account. And I can't honestly get one either-- my hubby says we have real life friends and don't need to put anything about our lives on Facebook. He's extremely private.

So do I not get the Spotify downloads for my iPod touch?

Also, I have great Bose headphones for my iPod touch. Cost almost as much as the iPod. I can't wear those ear buds.. My ear canals are too small and sensitive. 
Is there good evidence that all of the boxes will have the ear buds? I have 2 boxes coming, thanks to my step- mom. 

I'm not complaining about the " Listen" part because I love music, adore my current iPod and the ones I have given to friends when I upgrade, but it will be sucky if there are 2 out of 5 items I can't use in 2 boxes ( 4 items total then).

Oh, and to the person who said they hated the tiny Borghese soap, yeah. Me too. Then I got 2 Borghese body soak packets from ?? IDK, some box my step- mom gave me this month. She's giving me all her stuff because I'm physically hurt right now, and she is tired of it all. 

It's mostly like Christmas to me every day or two with all her many shipments. I think I am going to be subscribing to way too much. She is an enabler!

Thanks,

Laura

I got an email yesterday from Glamspotters (Glamour magazine's reader panel), and it says anyone who completes this survey will be entered to win Urbanears headphones. Maybe those are the ones coming in the July BB? Just a thought /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I have the same problem, its such a weird combination right?

My face is sensitive (irritates easily or gets very dry when a product is not for me) but also oily plus breaks out and huge pores! 

The Clarisonic Mia should have a sensitive brush included with it (thats the only brush it comes with). I bought two Mia's after saving up my points & using a 20% discount that it was worth it. My mom uses one and she has very dry skin, sensitive, and has a few wrinkles. She loves it, she says that its like a massage on her face. I love it as well, it has helped so much with my pores and break outs, every time I use it my pores seem so small!! I have used numerous "pore shrinking" products but have NEVER delivered the job. 

I think its a good investment for your skin because now I do not exfoliate or do peels. I use my Mia along with Philosophy purity or Juice Beauty Blemish Cleanser (when I feel a breakout coming up), then use a serum to even my skin tone (Khiels dark spot corrector), Benefits eye cream, & Clinique moisturizer. This combination of products has been working wonders on my face.

I would recommend going to see the Clarisonic Mia at a local Sephora or Ulta, test it on your arm or hand if you would like (this is what I did). I went to my local Sephora and the saleswoman put some soap and water on the Mia and let me test it. I wanted to see if it would be too harsh on my skin or if I would be able to handle it. 

You should get a coupon from BB, 3, 6, 9, and year coupon codes, plus keep saving those points (it helped SOO much). 

Hope this helped!

Hoping this months box is awesome. I'm not thrilled about getting food in the BB but the rest sounds okay.

That is my favorite body wash to use. The scented lotions are new and as soon as I'm done my current bottle of body wash I'm off to buy both!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who had that thought.  It'll be a cold day in h*ll before my husband "decides" what I can or can't do in my spare time or with my hobbies or with my money.

This reminds me that I need to go to TJ Maxx. The one by my house has had tons of Ahava products lately. My boyfriend is Israeli and his mom swears by Ahava products. As a chemist, I'm also impressed with what I've read about the company and their research.
