Birchbox Round 2

I recieved my second Birchbox delivery in the mail, and so far I'm not too impressed. From the last one, I wore the headband once (it's a little slippery and doesn't stay put very well), tried the perfume (not my favorite), and cleaned my makeup brushes with the cleanser (that seemed to be okay). I never tried the nail polish since I'm not too fond of the color, or the moisturizer. So that one seemed to be kind of a bust.

My second delivery contained a Luna Bar (yum, ate that right away), Borghese bath salts, another moisturizer, Stainiac lip and cheek stain, and a Eyeko eye shadow stick. From the looks of it, this one may be a little more promising, but I guess I'll have to see how much of it I actually use and like.


I've decided to go ahead and give Birchbox another month. If I don't end up liking many of the products they send, or even get a chance to try them out, then I think I'll give it up.

Anyone else getting fun stuff in theirs?

    I got almost the same stuff as you this time - I really like the lip stain; I don't usually feel comfortable wearing lip stick because I feel like it's so obvious, but the stain is nice and subtle. Plus it doesn't wipe off onto things like coffee cups. I got lots of compliments the day I wore it! I also really liked the eye stick, but I'm not used to cream shadow. I think I need to use a primer or a base, so that it doesn't crease. Loved the color, though. I also got these little self-tanning wipes. I definitely prefer more "makeup" rather than skincare. They have been sending a ton of lotions and stuff and it's kind of pissing me off. But I can't quit :)

    I really am jealous because they dont have anything like it in Korea~ just getting a package every month would make me happy!

    I like the makeup stuff too! Trying out the lip stain today, like that a lot. However, I'm not sure I quite figured out how to use it on my cheeks...it didn't blend very well. I also need to learn how to use the eye shadow stick without it looking like I gave myself a shiner.

    Hope they go international for you Teggers!

    You guys - I got stretch mark cream and anti-aging eye cream. Wah Wah WTF? ( Layne - thanks for the tip - I immediately changed my settings)!

    I like the lip stain for my lips, I got those eye wipes and haven't used them and some anti aging moisturizer (also haven't used), but one thing that was different was I got a regular sized box of band aids with cool fashion prints on them. It was nice to get a regular size of something, but when I wear band aids I don't want them to stand out...so not sure how much of a success that one was either.
