[ruhimaach]

That lifestyle extra item you got is AMAZING, omg I got a bag of them in the Healthy Surprise box I'm reviewing this week and couldn't believe how yummy they were.

I have already ordered a bag of Hail Merry from the Birchbox store Since i was placing an order anyway /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Fun fact: We begins the aging process at age 20.

Never too early to start an anti aging regimen!

I beg to differ, I think we start the aging process at birth...

hehhehe.

I had the same question as well so thanks to magicalmom for asking already! I don't really want a subscription since I'm not really into fitness stuff and I'm probably going to be moving in a few months. If we have to print off a confirmation, send it in with a stamp, etc etc, then it's probably not worth it to me and I'll just give my sub to a friend I guess.

Just so everyone knows if you use code BBTaxDay15 you get 15% off at the BB shop today.  Ordinarily I'd pass but I'm considering using it to get the color changing nail polish

Ok, sooooo.... the first reply I got was computer-generated, and was just standard info on how to stop a current subscription, with a postscript to reply if this wasn't the information I needed.  I replied to that, saying my question wasn't answered and to please try again!  I got a reply from (i think?) a human this time, asking for my complete mailing address and order confirmation #.  

I replied with my mailing address and my BB original subscription order confirmation #.  However, the reason I still think it may be a computer talking to me is that the email was very terse, and didn't specify if I should send a BB confirmation number or a Women's Health order #.  I did ask in my reply (the THIRD email to them), if I still needed to send in the refund card, because the lettering on the card was clear about not accepting any copies.

I'll continue to keep you all updated....  *le sigh*

I'm sure this has been discussed already, but did anyone ever find out how i'm supposed to sharpen the mirenesse given that it is plastic??

They suggest using the Pixi pencil sharpener.

I asked the FB rep and she said sharpen it, and from the Mirenesse page, I'm pretty sure they link to the Pixi sharpener so... :| sigh

Did anyone else receive the Juice Beauty CC cream? I used it for the first time yesterday and I can already see a huge difference! My face feels and looks amazing today! Definitely purchasing the full size!

Good! I was hoping my buying without trying wouldn't end up being a mistake. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I got the regular one--just based on the reviews. What is the difference between the two? Which one did you try in your box?

just like any regular pencil product...just go a bit slower than you would normally, otherwise you can sharpen more than intended!

Oh! Good news! Mine should be here tomorrow (I hope!) It's still sitting in Philly...

I tried the golden one in my box and loved it but ended up ordering the regular one as well b/c, like you said, the reviews were pretty great.  I figured I had tried the golden one for a while and now it was time to try the regular.  The golden one has some shimmer to it and I really liked it and am looking forward to using the rest of my sample in the summer.

LOL I got one like two boxes ago and just tried it out for the first time today. It's ehhhh imo. It really reduces the appearance of pores (mine are relatively small anyway) and kind of evens skintone, but it doesn't have the coverage I need...

I used it more as a way to actually "color correct" and I definitely think it does that. I put foundation over it so coverage wasnt an issue for me! On another note, I know a few of us who received box 13 were having issues with incorrect products and such and I sent an email to BB last night just as a heads up that this was happening. They just emailed me back and said that they no longer had the product in stock that I was supposed to be getting, but that they would add 50 points to my account! I honestly wasnt expecting anything, but an awesome box this month AND $5 worth of points?! Beyooond excited. Love BirchBox. Best customer service hands down.

My box was supposed to be here the 11th /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> hopefully it's waiting for me at home now...

I'm not getting my box until the 18th, the latest I've ever received it.  I couldn't wait any longer and peeked, and I'm getting box #4.  Excited - this looks like a great box!

I love facial oils, eye creams, and anything that can mattify my oily skin, so this is perfect for me

This might be old news, but I got a special promo code today for receiving my 16th box. It's the "Sweet 16 Celebration," and I can get $25 off just like with the old anniversary codes. That's exciting!

I received my Birchbox today, and I love the products more than I thought I would. The Simple Eye Roll On is great for nights I can't sleep (which is a lot of them). I got the Mirenesse in Cheeky Kiss (a really pretty pink color), and the color looks really pretty on me. I don't have any wrinkles or fine lines yet, but I think the Kiehl's Line-Reducing Concentrate can be used to help lighten a few of the little spots of discoloration I have leftover from a bad break out I had. I don't quite know how to use the Nexxus Hair Elixir, but I will definitely try it out. The only thing I'm not wild about is the smell of the J.R. Watkins Hand Salve I received. I am very odor sensitive, and I really wish I'd gotten the lemon or green tea scents over the lavender. I might buy the full size of one of the other scents, because I do think I would live this salve quite a bit. 

Has anyone successfully depotted the Mirenesse? I'd like to try it.
