i am not sure if this hs been mentioned yet or not... but..   i was looking on instagram at #birchbox and saw some got theirs in draw string bags with large sample and an eyelash curler...  anyone know how they got these great boxes????

maybe it was an intro box, or that box they were selling before, dunno the name tho

srry stupid phone

I tried it last night and had to get it off my body before it sunk in, lol.  My sister is here visiting and when she took a shower I told her to avoid it because it smelled man-ish. 

 

It doesn't smell "bad" it just doesn't smell like a girl-person IMO. I think it would be fine on my husband, but it won't be on me ever again.

I'm getting this box it should come some time next week

the issue i have is it is listed to have the lancome Bi-Facil but the box picture shows something else

Has anyone received this box yet? what are we actually getting?

 

 

I'm getting box 2 as well and my picture shows the same thing! Unfortunately I haven't recieved my box yet, but I'm interested to see which Lancome product we actually recieve!

The ones I've seen with those bags are from subscribers in England.

wow!!!!    i want an england birchbox!!   they are too cool!!   i wonder if the price is the same..    hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

nope. $15 plus $2.95 shipping.  I did the math last night, lol 

That box looks like it's work the extra cost!

It's joliebox birchbox subscription service in the UK . I just gotta say I'm super jelouse of what there giving out in the UK compared to here:/

Okay got my box and sows samples but can't get points anyone else having problems?

Nope, the uk just has a service called birchbox uk. Jolie box covers other parts of Europe.

The Twistband headband gave me a headache. I put it in my bathroom to use as something to keep all of my hair out of my face when I wash it. I've actually been needing a headband for that purpose, so it's kind of perfect. This is why I like to be upbeat about my boxes. 

same here, got a headache while doing my makeup, at least it works when I wash my face

 

I didn't get the detangler in my box item list so I just bought it ;) but I'm sad that my box isn't here yet. The tracking hasn't updated at all so I guess I'll have to wait to be surprised! 

Hmmm, I don't hate vanilla so hopefully I can tolerate it especially since I went ahead and bought it. Re: the gloss, I'm pretty happy to get another full size item 

I'm pretty sure that the Birchboxes with the drawstring are for the UK

 

Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)

I'm not anywhere near home now, so my mom sent a picture of both box contents.  (She's only just now started taking pictures with the camera on her phone.)  Cute!  I'm so proud... AND happy about everything I got (except for the Jouer MMT assuming I got one and the chocolate)  Yes, I know.  I'm not normal.

There's a Groupon today for Color Club polishes... pretty good deal for any of you who really like CC polish

Oh nice, thanks! I might go and check this out at my Ulta now, the reviews are pretty good 

Go mom! I don't know if photos are deceiving me, but this months twist band headbands look much thicker than the one I received in a previous box - they look much more wearable and like they'll actually stick on your head.

The funny thing about these bands is that the ones that Birchbox sent out before were the thin version -- and when you go to the twistband site, they primarily carry the wider ones. I was surprised that they didn't send a sample of the style they're most known for. This makes it look like they're sending that type out now. If so, I'm glad because I did like the thin version, but my hair is much heavier now and requires a bit more restraint. I do make my own, but the elastic I can got ahold of is different from the stuff I see in the version of these that I see at places like Target, so I'm curious to see what kind twistband uses.

am I the only one whose tracking# hasn't updated.

For those that have gifted boxes for yourself, how long does it take until your account shows you what is in your box? Mine was shipped on the 15th but it looks like it didn't really go anywhere yet.. I'm curious as to what I will get!

thx 4 posting this : D

Lol I see an enabler in the house today ;)

 

Oh wait, we're all enablers! Haha

 

 

 

If you like Color Club or China Glaze, I tend to order them from Victoria's Nail Supply unless I JUST CAN'T WAIT, like the CG Bohemian Luster Chrome collection last summer or the Halo Hues collection that someone told me about a Crowd Cuts deal for (I think it worked out to seven bucks a bottle, which wasn't ultimately a *huge* discount, but I couldn't find the whole collection *anywhere* at the time, including VNS, and I wanted it *right then*!).  Their prices tend to run at around $3-4 per (full-sized) bottle except for special finishes like crackles, Halo Hues, or magnetic stuff.

that's some useful info tyvm ^^ I'll check out that site l8r

 

thats a good idea!
