Birchbox September 2013 Sneak Peek!

I got my BBox last night and I am going through it now. I got a sample of the BCBG Bon Genre,which reminds me of a slightly smokier version of Hanae Mori. Warm vanilla, a bit of fruit, very girlie. I was dreading getting another bottle of green nail polish(that’s all Julep ever sends me ….) However, I am very happy to report that hedge fund is a very pretty gold khaki green, it almost looks like a matte grey when you turn it from side to side. It looks almost identical to Jin Soon’s green polish for Tibi–which is great since I was just about to purchase it.I also received Benefit’s Sugarbomb lip gloss, which is a peachy nude and would have been better at the beginning of the summer. It’s not very fall, at all.Also received Sienna Naturals shampoo/body oil shampoo duo, looks good. I’ll be tossing that into the old workout bag. Rounding out the list is Le Couvent Des Minimes hand moisturizer(yay!can’t get enough hand cream samples).It is a very nice lemon verbena scent, but still isn’t strong enough to keep my reptilian, weather-beaten hands in check. Also loved the bonus coupon for 30% off BBox purchases from customer favorites. All in all, an excellent box. Very happy.

Did anyone else get more than one item from this sneak peak? The only thing I got in my box was the Ruffian green nail polish. I signed up because I was really looking forward to the sea salt spray and the say yes to cranberry.

Pretty stoked about the nail polish! I got the Amika Blowout spray in my last Birchbox and I love it! It smells great and adds some wonderful texture.

I’m looking forward to this one! Fingers crossed for the “golden ticket.” I just hope I don’t get the Ruffian “Hedge Fund” nail polish color. I’m not a fan of most green nail polishes, and this green looks kinda sickly.

I’m excited for this month! I think I will be happy with whatever my box contains! I especially like that Davines spray and the Yes to Carrots CC cream.

Looks great! I’m hoping I don’t get a CC Cream…between all of my cosmetic subscription boxes I have enough BB & CC Cream to last me a good 20 years, lol!

When I signed up, they said about a 4 week wait. I got an invite a few days after sending an invitation request. So the wait might not be that long.

I tried to sign up and they put me on a waiting list. One page says 2 weeks, another says 4. Guess I’ll just have to wait (hehe) and see.
