Me too! I still have no clicky truck or emails, so I'm hoping maybe there will be a polish in my box. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I would love the Mirenesse too! I really love that they have stuff in the BB shop now! They have great products, but the cost to ship from Australia is cah-razy. If I don't get the Glossy Kiss in my box, I may totally have to buy one!

same as another box posted earlier:

 
mirenesse glossy kiss laface face wash joie perfume nexxus youth renewal rejuvenating elixir simple revitalizing eye roll-on   for those of you who got the mirenesse, it's just the very tip of the pencil, right?  not that i'm complaining, but it seems like a lot of material going into packaging (a large pencil) when i'm assuming the product does not go  any further down than the tip.  also seems kind of weird that birchbox said to sharpen it but what do i know. any thoughts?
birchbox said to sharpen it? plastic pencils like that are sharpenable, it didn't make sense to me at first either. for example, i have one of the pixie eye shadow pens that works liek that. the pixie one is the perfect size for the UD grindhouse.

Yeah the packaging said to sharpen it also.

Hey all, just got my box! It had a weight of .5455 lbs and I received:



(MALIN + GOETZ) cilantro hair conditioner

Caudalie SOS Morning Eye rescue

Herban Essentials lavender antibacterial towelettes

Mirenesse Glossy Kiss Lipstick

Hail Merry Chocolate Macaroons
Sorry I had to put it all in white text because I'm new and am still having trouble with figuring out spoiler formatting /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Edit: Added spoiler for you. To use it just highlight what you want included in it and click that little square that looks like a chat bubble.

I got the exact same box as you did.  I am very happy with it.  It also had the year subscription to Woman's Health.

Sorry if this has been posted- are the boxes coming with a free year of women's health magazine? I see a card in the boxes is that to get it free or just buy it and mail the card?

Yes, my box did come with the year subscription to Women's Health Magazine.  I just mailed the card off today.

Sorry should have clarified that it is free, and if you don't want the subscription you can request a $9.99 refund check be sent to you.  Box is basically free this month is you take the $9.99 refund.  I am going to get the magazine though and not take the refund.

My first BB was what I consider a "punishment" box ... and I hadn't even done anything wrong! I got it last month-- Serge Normant Dry Shampoo, a sample of Juicy Couture LaLa, Juice Beauty CC cream and the Whish blueberry shave cream. About the only thing I got that I actually use is the nail file!  I hope this month is better, but my box seems to be on the lighter side (.467) and the delivery is scheduled for next Monday, even though I'm in NJ. I'm guessing I've got another box in the high 20s again.  Well, at least I'll get the $9.99 from the magazine back, as I don't plan to subscribe.

If anyone is interested in getting "Yes to" products ... Bloomspot is running a deal for a $40 gift cert for $20.  Some of the restrictions: only one cert per order, $5 shipping charge per order, no "refund" if you order less than $40 worth of products in one order and the "promo value" expires 5/15/13 (you can still use the $20 you paid, though).  You can buy 4 -- 2 for you and 2 to gift.  I bought 4 before realizing the limit on products for yourself, but I'm going to try gifting it to my husband? I got 3 or 4 small packs of the cucumber wipes to keep in my purse, one regular size pack of the tomato (for my husband) and one of the blueberry wipes; the blueberry eye and lip products; 4 of the cucumber eyemake up remover pads; and a carrot body wash.  I think my total spend was about $55, including the $40 for the two certs, the "overage" on the products and the shipping   Anyway, just thought I'd pass this on, since the subject came up.

Pretty sure my first box was the worst of the worst when it comes to punishment boxes. I got the nail appliques, the dry shampoo, whish shaving cream, and the twistband. Yuck! Def hoping for a better box this month as well. Still not having any tracking info is killing me!

 

[Alexia561]

Don't think I'm getting any of the good boxes, as my weight is .464

I have been working on this same post forever and my phone won't let me do it!!

Please excuse my messy desk. This is what I do at work when Im supposed to be working!!! I love that they will refund you $9.99 if u don't want the magazine. Personally, I will be taking the magazine, but this will prevent all the "hey I'm being cheated because I already subscribe" backlash. Here's what I got: Beauty Protector-protect and detangle spray (in my opinion) smells great! ;-) Caudalie divine oil- the only thing I wanted that I actually got... Supergoop cc cream--didnt know I wanted it but not disappointed. I normally don't care for supergoop but i LOVE Cc creams Laface eye cream- dont use eye creams but full size is $150 so this has to be a pricey sample (curse my profile of an 18 year old making $150g a year!) And Hail merry macaroons- super excited about these!!! Overall, not bad..I feel better knowing they didn't include the blush this month so I don't feel so cheated. Wish I got the Youngblood but hopefully ill be able to trade for it...

 

[kawaiiwoofs]

They will give a refund?! That's awesome! I got a subscription for it for like $5 on living social since I had some $5 promo card to LS and needed to use it on something (so it was free). I think it's a pretty unhelpful magazine but hey, free is free!

My tracking just updated- I have .464 :-(

I love that they are offering a refund. I do not like Women's Health so I will be using the refund choice. I'm really glad they didn't just decide to sign us up for emails like some companies do.
