What's in your Birchbox?

[Nickel]

Where is my Birchbox?!?! I hope it comes tomorrow because we're going out of town on Monday and I want to take my goodies with me.

This is what I'm supposed to be getting:
Oscar de la Renta live in love
Laura Geller Double Dipped Lipstick in Caribbean Kiss
Manna Kadar Cosmetics sheer glo shimmer lotion
fresh Soy Face Cleanser
Birchbox Exclusive Earbuds


I still have 2 unopened deluxe cleanser samples and this box makes 3. If they keep it up I'll never have to buy face wash again.

Let me know what you think about the Laura Geller lipstick, please. I don't usually wear lipstick but I've heard that her stuff is really good.

Definitely! I'm more of a lip gloss person but I do have 2 Benefit lipsticks that I like. This Laura Geller one has 2 colors in the one stick - one on each side. Very cool! It's not supposed to be delivered til the 19th though.

I got:

Bamboo hair gloss
Jouer moisture tint
Oscar de la Renta Live in Love perfume
Stila lip glaze
Earbuds
Larabar salted nut roll <--this thing was freaking GOOD! My new favorite!

I like everything except the perfume sample.

What does the hair gloss do? Shiny or body or stay in place? Does it weigh your hair down at all?

I am not a fan of this lipstick. The rosy pink side is an okay color but doesn't flatter my skin tone at all. It reminds me of something that would have been popular in the early 90s. The bronzey pink side is awful awful awful. It has a frosted sheen and is not a good color at all. Not alone, not layered on top of the pink. They sent me the full size lipstick so I'm going to offer it to my mom, but if she doesn't want it I'm pitching it. It's nothing special, so don't waste your money. For a dollar extra you can hit up Sephora and pick up some Benefit lipstick that is much much better. Or save your money and pick something up at the drugstore because it's bound to be better than this stuff.

Other than that, I don't hate the perfume and I may even wear it this fall. The earbuds seem cheap but I'm going to use them anyway. The shimmery moisturizer makes me nervous because nobody wants to look greasy, and the facial cleanser sample was just 3 little packets, not an actual tube. Not a big deal, I can just put them in my travel bag the next time I go somewhere. I'm left feeling very meh about this box, but whatever.

So I forgot to cancel my birchbox subscription...However... I am happy I did because I really like the stuff I got this time!


-Hydro Silk Razor
- Viva La Juicy perfume sample
- DDF Brightening Cleanser
- Beauty Fixation eye makeup remover swabs
- 2 body tan towelettes by comodynes
- 2 face moisturising summer glow

Also anyone get the GLOSS Modern High Gloss Masque last month? I love love love it! Sucks that it is $39 bucks but might just have to buy it! My hair smells and feels so smooth and looks shiny. It kinda smells like coconut yum

 

[doubtfull24]

I do wish I would have got the stila stay all day foundation, concealer, & brush kit

 

[Radiant1]

I received:

Hydro Silk Razor - I'm usually not fond of razors with the guard; however, this one really did give my legs a smooth shave.

Pomegranate Buffing Beads - I can strain some beach sand and get the same effect, meh.

You-Be Skin Cream - Haven't used it yet, but plan to on my heels, a sure way to find out if it's any good.

Purifying Mud Mask - It stung my skin a bit when I applied it; however, it did leave my skin feeling soft and smooth with pores maybe less visible.

Caldrea Hand Soap - Haven't used it yet. I hope it smells good.

Stila foundation/concealer - A nice matte finish. It didn't exactly last all day, however.

Shine and frizz control, and it's very light but still tamed my mess. I probably like it.

The one I got (Gloss moderne high gloss) just weighed my hair down so it looked like I had dirty hair all day. I still had frizzes.

* Stila - One step bronze - I've liked all the stila products I've received so far, but I'm a little hesitant to give this a try. Maybe I'll try it today, see how it looks and then pass it on to someone else. It is a full size sample.

I finally tried this and I'm keeping it. Very impressed with how well it works.

I liked it, too, and would probably buy more when it runs out. I mix it with a bit of regular foundation and the color is just right.

Really I love it ...I have long fine hair that usually looks oily at the roots by the end of the day and this stuff doesn't do that to my hair. I only condition from the middle of my hair to the ends never on the roots. I have also noticed I don't have to blow dry my hair and it will be smooth. I usually have to blow dry my hair or it looks frizzy or like I need the ends cut. The other day I woke up late and just put my hair in an up-do and later let it down and it looked wavy and stayed smooth. I still hate spending that much on a conditioner. The sample I got has lasted awhile you only need a little so I might just ask for this for my bday

I have long heavy wavy hair, so maybe that's the difference, I also never style my hair, as I want to pick the curls and go. I have zero time and no patience. I actualkly do really well with the mixed chicks products, that most other hair products disappoint me.

I just got the email today and no tracking info is available so it'll be a few days before I get mine.

Sorry about the don't care smiley I thought it was the smiley one oops changed it. Lucky I wish I had naturally curly hair!! I have to curl my hair. I used to have a perm when I was younger but am afraid I will fry my hair if I get one with color in my hair.

You ever notice that people always want the opposite of what they've got? I used to straighten my hair for years! But now I'm at the point where I just don't care and don't want to expend the extra effort.

You have beautiful hair.

In my Birchbox this month:


Schick Hydro Silk Razor (I already use this so I guess I have a spare and some coupons)
GLOSS Moderne™ High Gloss Masque (smells like a Lush shampoo I used to use)
Beauty Fixation Lipstick Touch-Up (full sized, but useless to me since I've literally never had to fix a lipstick smudge)
Juicy Couture Viva la Juicy La Fleur (smells okay)
Sumita Brow Fix (full sized, but again useless because I don't have unruly brows)
