Yep.  My neighbor saw someone break into my mailbox and steal my packages (this had been going on for a while) and got the license plate of the car they were driving.  They reported it to the police and the post office and no one did anything.  It was just before Christmas and I lost lots of Christmas presents but neither place cared.  My mom has someone who works in the post office in her town who opens all cards and takes what's inside.  But since they don't know who exactly it is there is nothing they can do.  Just told her to not mail anything important.  What the heck are you supposed to do?

Did anyone who said they were getting box 13 have their box change on them on the website? I got my box today and it was a completely different box! I was so disappointed since I was really psyched to get what I thought was coming to me.  Has this happened to anyone else?

Uh, that is AMAZING! Thank you! I just got a $36 lip gloss for $9. If the "international express shipping" options works (it was the same cost as normal shipping) I'll have it by Monday... I also bought the Julep mystery box this morning (this is going to the litmus test of whether or not I stick with Julep...) so it's time to put the credit card away. With the number I have memorized. Gonna be hard.

Lmao thank goodness I don't have my CC number memorized, I would really be in some trouble!

For those ladies that got the Mirenesse Lip product in your box, was it the same color that showed in your box pic?   I've noticed all the products we've seen is red, orange, or coral.  My box pic shows a pink one which I'm really hoping I get.

Oh no!!! My box isn't supposed to come until Monday, but I will be SOOOO upset if I end up getting a different box.  Which one did you get?  I would definitely email Birchbox and see what they say!

I really want the pink, too. So far, my box pics have been accurate as far as color. The only exception was the ModelCo lip gloss. My pic showed pink, but I got the no-color.

My box in my second account is heavy! Never had a box that big! .8830 oz!

I got a pink display, but I got the red (??? I think -- quick kiss or starlet. I can't tell anymore sigh)

Yeah, I'm not sure which box it is and I don't know how to do spoilers from my phone but I will post a pic later. Just had my hopes up for that original box especially cuz its my birthday today and I knew it was coming today . what do you think bb could do?

My box picture only updated for one of my boxes, and the picture of the box/contents shows the correct lip color.  For the other box, my box picture (of contents) hasn't updated yet.  However, for both boxes, when it shows the list of what I'm getting, it shows a pretty pretty pink that I did NOT get (my other box I got the orange).

Here's my box:



I'm undecided if I like the box or not. The lipstick is a really bright red, but also works as a cheek stain. I just don't see myself using it as a lipstick. Hail Merry Macaroons were a lifestyle extra - those got gobbled up immediately. I'm looking forward to using the tiny sample of the oil. Rest of the box - Meh!

Hmmm I put myself on the waitlist on 3/2 for a second account and I'm still waiting! Hopefully this means I'll be off of it soon

Oh no! My box is still the same on the site, but I haven't received it yet. I got a tracking number a few days ago, but it still hasn't updated yet. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> That is seriously disappointing though! It seems like only the three of us are getting box 13, but maybe they ran out of some of the stuff? Let us know what you did end up getting when you have time! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

When they do these sales, they charge shipping for each item, but it's still less expensive than the items at full price. It's really a pretty good deal, especially when you think about how much it costs to buy from them when the items are full price, and then have to pay for shipping from Australia on top of it!

Is there anyone else who is getting or has already gotten box 24 yet? I don't think I've seen that anyone else is getting this box! Weird....
