Birchbox August 2017 Sample Choice Spoilers + Coupon!

You are going to want a script of retinol from the doc. I got mine when I was about 30, and I’m still using it now I’m my 40’s with nice clear skin (sssshhhhhh) and nary a wrinkle in sight! Make sure you get that script now and keep using it ’til kingdom come!

My younger sister just started this same phenomenon with the adult acne in her 30’s, and just got her retinol script from the dr. My skin looks better than hers, wrinkle-wise, but I expect that she will look great soon!

I can’t speak for Joy, but I know I love Pur-lisse because the use awesome ingredients that are sooo gentle (and effective) on even the most sensitive skin. I, too, love the mud mask in question, but I mean. ALL of their products are amazing. Skyn Iceland is another fantastic brand for face products. Hey Honey is a good brand as well, but some of their products can be a little less easygoing for people with sensitive skin (not sure if you fall into that camp, but figured I’d mention it). If you’re looking to try any of those brands, you can probably find them relatively cheap on eBay, or if you’re a BB subscriber, I’d recommend trying the Curated Box this month. It’s a great sample size, too. You don’t need very much each use.

I love Purlisse! All the samples I’ve tried from them are awesome. Two of my favs – the mask & their BB Tinted Moist Cream. Great coverage.

I’m not impressed with Dr. Jart. Have used his Cicapair & I don’t get it. What’s with all the hype?

I will second that emotion about the Pur-lisse mask. Of all the ones I’ve received, that one is also my fav. It feels like it does the job, without stripping my face.

I’ve only used 1 product from Dr. jart – the Cicapair tiger green grass cream – got it from either BB or Allure. Don’t know what the fuss is all about that guy. It could be I’m not using the product right, but I have not seen any difference.

Btw, you can have adult acne well into your 50’s. I’m not quite there yet, but I’ve witnessed it in a few co-workers.

I’m currently using a 20ml sample (most likely the size of the BB offer) of the Eve Lom cleanser right now, and I really like it! It’s thicker than any other cleansing balm I’ve used so far, and it takes the makeup off very well. It comes with a muslin cloth, and it’s recommended to soak it in warm water, place on the face for a few seconds, then wipe away the cleanser. I’m not a fan of wiping my makeup on any cloths, so I just emulsify the cleanser first, then rinse it off with water. It rinses very well, but I’ve heard it could leave residue behind. I’ve never felt any though, before I go in for my 2nd cleanse. Also, a little goes a long way, so that sample will have quite a few uses so you can get a feel of whether you like it or not. 🙂

Vanessa, I know what you mean. I just found out that Lipsense is a thing again, and I got a set of that about 20 years ago. I wonder if that’s one of the original matte lip products?

In my experience, they always “switch” the website to the next month’s box the week of sample choice, usually somewhere in the 20’s, like the 22 or the 23. I think next Monday they’ll likely have switched to selling August boxes and be done July ones. Just check back on the homepage next week. They’re transparent about it. The button will specifically say “Get your August box” instead of “Get your July box” and usually the color of the box in the cart has changed.

But will I still get July’s box if I sign up during sample choice? I tried looking up their info about customization timing, but they don’t say when they stop sending out July boxes.
