so that means our boxes aren't sure yet probably.  I won't get too excited about what's in mine until it gets to me I guess.

I got the same box and I do not have curly hair.  My profile says I have fine and dry hair.  It makes no sense to me.

My box is missing frown.gif says it was delivered 2/8 but it's not there. Asked my mail man, he said there was a sub out for him Friday. Nothing in the postal office either, he said it may be lost or was sent back. I thought it was snowed in but we cleared our house and around this weekend, plus, the box fits through the mail slot (easily). frown.gif((((( I emailed BB but... Yeah. It's not heir fault obviously.

We're box twins. I was also one of the snowed in boxes.

Oh, also, I had a crazy dream last night that Birchbox accidentally sent me 4 boxes. This was in addition to being a foster for 40 dogs. I probably shouldn't be using my electronics right before bed.

I get try some Lancome and more importantly I've been dying to try the Pillow Soft Curls, but they have been sold out on the Miss Jessie's free sample website forever!

 

Does anyone know if they are only sending out the green Color Club, because the Fiesta Collection has a few different colors??

 

 

 

 

 

I think BB knew that this was the last month of my gift sub, and now after this one I'm going to have to keep these boxes coming. wub.gif

My sister just texted me:

 

my bb is still snowed in what a hoot!

 

She thinks it is so funny, lol! Of course we live in the frigid north where we expect to be snowed in at least twice a year.

I have wishful thinking that part of the delay is on the stila smudge sticks, I haven't seen anyone mention a box with them yet! Hopefully those of us without any info will be pleasantly rewarded.

My box updated! Yay! Looks like I'm getting box 8, which I'm super happy about. biggrin.gif

 

Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)

Color Club Fiesta Collection - I'm assuming it's the green one. I don't have a green polish, so I'm stoked!
Lancome LA Base Pro - This looks very interesting..has decent reviews and I love myself some makeup perfecting products
Miss Jessie's Original Pillow Soft Curls - I DO have some natural curls here and there, so I can't wait to try this out and see if it enhances them at all
Vasanti BrightenUp Enzymatic Face Rejuvenator - This sounds terrific also, can't wait to try!
Chocolate Square - lol, unfortunately, I'm a HUGE chocoholic BUT caramel is my LEASE favorite...however, I won't let that stop me from enjoying it...it's chocolate for crying out loud lol

for those of you getting the Dr. Lipp nipple balm for lips, take a look at this article I found on medical grade lanolin.  It sounds pretty good.

You can use it even if you don't have curly hair. it can be used to tame frizz, while flat ironing or blow drying, etc.

I'm really excited about trying the Vasanti and Lancome products! I think I'm getting a pretty good selection of stuffs this month.


That's the box I've been assigned. I groaned when it updated to that, because it's not at all what I would have picked out for myself, but I can't complain. I know it would be some people's dream box. Maybe I can trade the nail polish and the lancome for some curly hair stuff.

I just tried out the Fusion Beauty XL Mascara and I'm double bummed.  Since I received the Model Co Lashextend a couple months ago, I wasn't wanting to receive this.   But it's seriously bad quality...dry, clumpy, and does nothing on.   It's what I'd expect picking up a product at the dollar store.

I never received an email, only refreshed the stale tab it was sitting in.  Maybe they will be making some sort of blog/email announcement later, like they did with the Balm palate?

Still a no/no/no here! (clicky truck/box update/shipping email)

 

I have already received the Vasanti so I am hoping for a good one without it (40??). I don't mind because I am pretty sure it will be updated by tomorrow and I will get it around the 20th. Kind of fun to wonder and guess. If their IT folks count how many times I have checked they will be greatly amused.

1.  Has anybody with very sensitive skin tried the Vasanti?  

 

2.  Did anybody else receive the Miss Jessie's Original Pillow Soft Curls in a (very generous) foil packet?  Ugh.  Foil packets are so awkward.  (I would rather have a large foil packet than a tube with barely anything in it... so, I am not complaining ... just curious.)  Also, if you have used the product (I have long hair ... normal thickness) ... how much did you use? 

 

Thanks for any help in advance.  heart.gif

I tried the vasanti on and off last year and I think that it gave me zits.  I wanted to like it but I passed on it and use alaffia instead.

 

I got the pillow soft curls in august.  it's hard using it when it's a foil packet but I got two-three uses out of it.

Truth, every Juicy perfume I've tried smells skankkkky on my own chemistry.  Like I woke up after a night of partying and instead of showering used every body splash I could find all mixed together with flavored vodka sweating from my pores.

That's me, lol. I keep telling myself that I'm not going to check, but I do. Sigh...when will I have the clicky truck? Please, BB...have mercy!

 

Good things come to those who wait, I guess.

Thanks. :)

Mine updated, box 21. Not the first choice I'd pick but I had to laugh because it totally seems to fit the profile I gave myself for this month. I tried the whole young, rich, adventurous thing and it definitely seems like a box for a teen. I'll change it up again next month. 

 

Anyway...

I'm excited to try the hair thickening stuff, I was hoping to get that in a box. I love my blue color club polish from a previous box and don't have many green polishes in my collection, and I'm curious about the twistband headbands. My 3 1/2 year old can wear it if I don't like it (she's got her dad's 90%ile noggin, haha!). I'm also getting the Juicy perfume and chocolates but I don't mind getting perfume/food stuff so they're nice extras. 

 

It's definitely a low value box to me but I'm sure I'll use/try everything and maybe the ojon will be a new HG for me. I've been on the search for a good hair thickener for years.
