I also wanted to say I feel SO BAD for those of you with bad mailmen/women. My current mailman can be a bit grumpy (I Live in an apt. bldg. and when he is putting the mail in the boxes he creates a barricade and snaps at everyone to step back/go away)  but I always get everything, on time, and in fantastic shape, and the mail service at my last 2 buildings before this was the same.

Also two in mine. I am a tea snob so I always make loose leaf tea and never use bags anymore, but I did try one last night and it was quite good for a tea bag  (yes, I warned you, snob) though not

I always brew loose teas also. I have a cute tea set with a pot warmer on my buffet that we use at night after dinner I had purchased from,Teavana. There is a big difference between this method and tea bags. I will definitely try the tea I got in my box though. They smell yummy!

Boxes for both accounts.  All in all, not the most exciting, but everything will be used.  I'm probably most excited about the serum in the first one...I've heard such good things about it!

Hmmm-- it seems like you got a different Mirenesse product than everyone else since Starlet isn't one of the colors listed for the lip pencils.

My Saturday mailman can be hilarious if he has to bring a package up to me: He doesn't ring my doorbell (thankfully, because the doorbell scares the hell out if my kitties), but if El Gatito Negro is at the window, they have a little staring contest while he comes up the stairs (and then just puts the boxes on the stairs. (I live in a crappy neighborhood, but I have only had to go pick up packages twice in almost four years, and I get a *lot* of packages. I think a huge part of it is the fact that I live up stairs, and not even the homeless guys who go to my downstairs neighbor's door to ask for spare change -- yes, really -- will come up the stairs.)

I think it is the same product. It is labled, "Glossy Kiss," and right underneath that it says, "Starlet."

I'm tempted! I think this would make a GREAT Mother's Day gift, or could be split up into a couple of little gifts. Does anyone have an idea of when this would ship?? Do limited edition boxes ship the month they're released or the following month? I'll definitely snag it if it would be here in time for Mother's Day!

I think there's a big difference between this and tea bags too, though I get teased by my friends /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  The bags rally aren't bad though- just not something I'd buy like I said /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  The do smell yummy!

Woo!  I love everything in that little box!  I'll be happy with ANY of the Baggu bags (except for maybe the alpaca looking one), ANY of the Tocca lotions (che bello!), and I'll just pray not to get the Mint candle.  How exciting!  Plus the full size Color Club glitter polish, TIGI spray sample, NUXE wash sample AND two sets of bamboo cutlery.  All for no $$$.  Couldn't be happier!   Happy springtime to ME!

Also two in mine. I am a tea snob so I always make loose leaf tea and never use bags anymore, but I did try one last night and it was quite good for a tea bag  (yes, I warned you, snob) though not something I'd ever buy.

I have the loose leaf version of euphoria I got from their website, and it is even better.

Wow! That is crazy! My Birchbox order got stolen once and that was all it took for me to have any packages sent to my work. I came home to my Birchbox box sitting in the lobby with the contents removed. I reported it to the P.O....nothing ever came of it. I did contact BB to let them know that my order/box came to me empty/possibly stolen and they totally replaced my order! How great is that?

WOW!! I don't understand some people... I also would like to have pretty much every birchbox out there, but I wouldn't just go steal someone else's box!

I'm glad BB sent you another one though!

The thing is, mail tampering is a federal crime, and yet no matter how much you report it or how frequent it is, clearly nothing is being done about it :\ I think it's time to call some reps and senators lol

Same with me.

 

[hiheather]

My box updated, I want nothing in it. Both my boxes from BB have been horrible for me.
