Teen Vogue + Birchbox

[NicoleRoyer]

The CR box was definitely better than the box I just got! I would have taken that box over my last one any day. I think for me the CR box was underwhelming because I already owned almost all of the products, so it wasn't exciting. I was happy with the samples though, because they were actually DELUXE, and it's always nice to have travel sizes of my favorites! I am generally pretty happy with most samples.

What brand do you use for the pink, and did you do it yourself? I want to get teal streaks in my hair. The clerk at the market has really vibrant green hair, and he said to use Splat or Special Effects, and to stay away from Manic Panic. But I'm not going to buy dye based on one recommendation!

I liked Fudge best for wild colors (not sure if you can get it in America). I've used Splat (for purple) and it worked well. Manic Panic.....well...a lot of folks hate it, that's all I will say.

I used Fudge about 10 years ago. Loved the way it smelled, but I haven't been able to find it since.

Manic Panic is okay depending on the color.  Teal is one of those colors that faded quickly when I did it though.  Special Effects seems to have really good staying power. This coming from the girl who's dyed her hair just about every color you can imagine.

haha nice!! I love Hello Kitty too!! I was so stoked when McDonalds had the HK toys in their December Happy Meals! My whole car is decorated with HK seat covers and stuff, and I have a wallet and keychain. 

I should just buy those clip in streaks of haircolor, because I love how they look but I am too indecisive to permanently have them in my hair.

Yeah, I was still in Germany when I was using it, so that had to have been 10 years ago now. Weird that it doesn't FEEL like that long ago.

lol! I love the Hello Kitty discussion going on! 

I'm obviously a fan *points at name on here* and I'm 31. 

 I grew up with TONS of Hello Kitty (and Sanrio in general) back home in Hawai'i since we have a huge Japanese population. Though I'm personally part-Chinese (among a few other things), I blame my HK obsession on the Asian part of my roots. 

 I think we have a genetic predisposition to love the Japanese cat! Though Kitty White, the character, is actually English. 

 

I really love the spirit of her character. She has no mouth because she speaks from her heart. 

I love meeting fellow HK fans!

That's so sweet! I love that

I Should get the clip in ones too! I have always wanted to dye my hair hair a color but I can never bring myself to actually do it! My avatar is from a photo shoot that I did where I wore a blue wig and I LOVED it, but I am too much of a scaredy cat to actually dye my hair.

Getting both! So excited. I just hope they're good.

Um... add another Hello Kitty fan to the list

 

[ladygrey]

I LOVE it! 

 You seem to be both an HK and Sanrio fan! 

 I have yet to commit to a tattoo of HK though I've been a life long fan but on my fb I have an entire album dedicated to my mass HK collection. LOL!

awesome pictures! I'm definitely a Sanrio fan! On the side of my arm you cant see there are tuxedo sam and my melody /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[CaliMel]

Nice artwork there! Yay for HK fans! =] 

My bank teller is actually a HUGE HK fan as well. She has her tattoo'd on her arm, and has all kinds of HK swag at her teller station. 

She freaked out when she saw my car decorations, and ended up asking for the same set for Christmas. =] 

I love how it's a bonding thing hehe. 

I'm so happy I found this forum, because everyone is super nice so far, and very welcoming, and it's really cool. 

I think it's hilarious that we all ordered the TV box as well! I'm super excited to see what's in both my birchboxes this month.

I respectfully disagree - my Cynthia Rowley box has been one of my most fun boxes to date!! From that, I discovered my HG cleanser, purity!

I opted in for the TV BB this month and I'm excited to see what happens. So far their collaboration boxes haven't disappointed me at all.

LOL You must have had a good box. I got:

1. AHAVA Mineral Hand Cream
2. Redken shine flash 02 glistening mist
3. philosophy® purity made simple™ one-step facial cleanser
4. Zoya Touch Collection

I still have all four items - untouched BUT to be fair, that was the month Streamlite took forever to ship and so both Birchbox and I thought the box was lost so they sent me and my daughter duplicate boxes so we each ended up with a duplicate box so I had two of everything from my box and she had two of everything in her box.

Alright so since its March 1st I decided to look and see what items have been added to the site. They don't say ships free yet of course because they still have all the feb items but you can definitely find some new items all in there.
