What?!! I emailed them and they said the didn't have any.  They gave me 50 points instead, which I'd rather have anyway cuz I got wipes in a different sub box.  My eye cream wasn't air, either.

Thank you!! The code worked like a charm for me... I just ordered the Joya polish remover (because I'm almost out of mine and everyone is raving about it) and the Ruby Wing nail polish in Peony (I already got Poppy in my box) for less than $6, after I used up my 100 points and the 21% code! Thanks for letting me know.. one of the reasons I love this forum!

Has anyone tried the Ruby Wing nail polish in Peony yet? Do you have any pictures of it indoors or outdoors? I couldn't find pics of this shade online...

My Birchbox Home From the Garden box arrived this morning!

It is FANTASTIC!!!!

I highly reco it if anyone was considering it and is on the fence.

(I may pick up another one!)

The Tocca handcreme is full size and is divine. I am obsessed with Tocca scents and this one is in a beautiful fresh floral and the formula is rich but sinks into skin nicely.

The LAFCO candle is wonderful. I expected a votive but it is bigger than I expected. (30 hour burn time) The fragrance I got (they vary) is Cilantro Orange. It smells great unlit.

The Loccitane fragrance is surprisingly nice too! I love Jasmin scents. It's a good travel/throw into purse size.

The Sarabeth jams are true mini's. The size you'd get on a room service tray.

The Baggu bag is great! I got a kelly green bag with cream spots. Cute!

The Carving Knife is very girly. May not be for everyone but it looks "happy".

The Shopping List is well, a shopping list. Wasn't expecting much from this item.

And the Basil Growing Kit, is super cute and tiny. (not for the gourmand, but fun!)

Again this was a surprise hit for me!

It's a great value too!

I like it much more than this months PopSugar box (to put it in perspective)

Sorry I can't take photo's. But the pics on the BB website are fairly accurate.

Oh and I got the Bamboo cutlery freebie. I didn't realize a set, consisted of one fork, one spoon, one knife.

The promo came with "two" sets.

Hmmm. Oh well! It's good alternative to plastic utensils, to throw in a bag, when you are traveling with a snack or lunch.

My birchbox should be here today! Box 28. I'm not sure if anyone has posted a picture of it yet, these past few days have been busy for me.

do you remember what the code was for a year? I haven't got an email yet, but this month makes a year for me.

I just got my Home From The Garden box and I loved it SO MUCH I just ordered another one!

My Birchbox is out for delivery, but the mailman already came and no birchbox :-( I hope there's like a second round today.

My mailman has a bad habit of marking something as delivered and then not bringing it till the next day. Drives me nuts.

I did! It took a little over two weeks. I am sure it won't happen to you this way, because at least the home box is in stock still. Edit: I think you should contact them and insist on a refund for shipping, in dollars and not points. (Only because you paid for faster shipping and clearly are not getting it).

I just heard back from them and she said she used expedited shipping. Hopefully I get my order soon!

I haven't had any issues like that yet, so hopefully it is being delivered by the USPS truck and not by the on foot mailman. It's still not marked as delivered, so I'm keeeping my fingers crossed to getting it today.

I haven't seen a single image or mention of the box that I'm supposed to be getting. I don't know which number it is, but it has these items

Caudalie Divine Oil

Hail Merry Macaroons

Number 4 Support Solution

Super Goop Anti-Aging Eye Cream 

Rub Wing Nail Polish
Has anyone gotten this box? Mine's due to arrive today, but I won't be back home until tomorrow.

It looks so pretty on you!  I can't wait to get mine!  It looks like my box won't arrive until tomorrow. =( 

Thanks for sharing!! It really looks gorgeous!

I received my box yesterday & was super sad 

My Sumita eyeshadow stick was broken also the Evologie blemish serum was missing.

I was so excited to try this eyeshadow stick, it is very creamy and super vibrant.

I did e-mail they said that they will try to reship the exact same box but can't promise. If they can't reship ANY box they would compensate me through points.

I'm glad you did! I think you will be pleasantly surprised! I am about to order my 2nd one! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Hehehehehehe it was just a funny phrasing I got a kick out of it /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I had box 13, with the missing wipes. I have seen maybe four different ways BB handled this and mine was the worst. Basically they told me "too bad, so sad" - wereas on this board alone I have noticed them awarding 50 or 100 points, or sending out the product.

Yep...BB CS Reps, as inconsistent as usual. Every one of them has a different answer.

That's a very crummy answer.  I would try emailing them again...maybe you'll luck out and get a different rep?  Or give them a call, which I hate to do, but it might work out in your favor.
