word. me too! i'm tired of remembering what i need/want to buy with my points in their store. an app would be nice too.

Too bad it's in the middle of the afternoon, or I'd go. Not that I'd want a CC mani though >__> Well maybe if it's complimentary.

Also, this event is happening today in Boston, NYC, and DC



I think they ran out of spots, but I'll drop it anyway... I want free cocktails and pinkberry XD

Ack!  I'm moving to NYC in May.  Too bad I'll be missing these!!

Honesty policy: my love for birchbox has been renewed. I just packed for a 2 day/1 night trip for a job interview. Almost everything I'm using came from birchbox! Mini lotion packet, hair stuff, make up remover.... Love it. I'll actually use what they gave me. Haha Although I did spent money at Walgreens on mini deodorant and a mini tooth brush. They're just too cute! *facepalm*

I travel a lot for work, and keep a stash of all the samples I get from everywhere to use when I go away. I actually love foil packets, because you can fit a lot more in a quart bag than you can bottles and jars. 

Especially when I'm only going to be gone overnight, I don't mind using something new. Sometimes I'll save things like a particularly nice-sounding scented lotion or a hair mask to have as a "treat" when I'm away.

I'm lucky that my skin isn't super fussy, so one night/day of using different products has never (knock wood) been a problem for me.

Good luck with your interview!

Thanks! I have Living Proof foil packets of shampoo conditioner and the Caldrea foil of lotion - these are definitely nicer than what I use every day at home!

I have found that BB samples work great for travel.  Good luck with the interview.

I just got a coupon code in my email for 20% off...it says "We're out to win you over" and it has to be used by the 31st. I don't know if everyone got one, or if they just sent it to me because I have over 700 points, but I'm not budging haha.

I got a similar coupon; 20% to use by 3/31.  The subject line of the email said - Hey There, Stranger.  And then in the body of the email it said - Things just haven't been the same without you.  I have 400 points and I haven't place an order for months.

I use a lot of my BB samples for travel. It's nice to try something new while away and like someone else said...you can pack so much more in the quart size bag. I also throw samples into my gym bag. I wasn't about to head back out into the bitter Chicago cold after my workout with nothing on my face so those moisturizer samples came in really handy!

I bookmark all of the things I want and keep it in a folder I created called "WANT!!" haha

That's not a bad idea...  *steals*

Slightly off topic:  Has anyone had a Birchbox order sent to the wrong address?  According to the tracking number I was given, my most recent order is currently out for delivery in Harrisburg, PA, roughly 450 miles away from where I live.

I emailed them & their response was, "be patient."

That seems so rude and not helpful...

Did you see them launch their new "hearting" feature today on their website? http://blog.birchbox.com/post/46612739329/happy-hearting-introducing-birchbox-customer

It's a way to like products on their page and it keeps an inventory of everything you've liked.

I already did that about an hour ago. I think they're doing that feature to cater better samples options or something? Or just making it easier for clients?
