Birchbox April 2013

[beautynewbie]

If you gift yourself a sub, I believe the first one you get is the welcome box, and you run the risk of getting things you've gotten before. I just signed up with a second email and I was only on the waitlist for two weeks, so you *might* get lucky!

I can verify this since I have an extra account that i get gift subs for every few months. I got a repeat of the vasanti in a welcome box (which I didn't mind at all ) and to my surprise they sent an email apologizing and letting me know they had credited me 100 points for the repeat!

See this is what I am wondering.  Considering Birchbox doesn't actually list a bright red, is the color that we think is red (Quick Kiss) actually orange?  It shows really red on me.  Not a fire engine red.. but def. more red than orange.

I think she was referring to opening a second account.

Love it!  The color looks great on you.

Picture below -- but don't judge my kissy face.  My fiancee and I like to joke about how the Kardashians never take pictures without the kissy face, so I took this to send to him last night.  This is not my normal picture face, I swear.

Does anyone know if they shipped out any color of lipstain other than the orange?  I'm getting box #2 and I never get any color cosmetics unless they're so sheer they don't show up.  I was looking forward to finally getting something with some pigment in it, but orange looks horrible on me.

This has been addressed several times at this point, but we know for sure they have at least sent out a red and a coral as well.

If anyone has gotten the coral can you please post a pic of a swatch and/or you wearing it?  I can't find a swatch of it online, and it sounds perfect for spring! 

ETA:  MissMonica, the red looks beautiful on you!

I'm so bummed. I just got my box and I didn't get any of the Yes to Cucumbers wipes, even though according to my online page I should have. Ok I may sound lame, but I love those things and I was so excited about them. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Thank you.  I read back several pages but didn't see it addressed other than a few people saying what they got.

Thank you.  I saw where people posted the color they got but not whether there were other colors coming.

Call or send them an email.. Email can take a few days.. If they have more, they will send it to you. If not, they will give you some points. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

my quick kiss is definitely more orange on me then red.   i am still trying to like it lol... 

and i think we seen three colors so far: my mirenesse is quick kiss. It is on the orange-ish side (to me anyway) also i also seen a color in perfect kiss: coral and flirty kiss: red color so three colors so far...

From memory I'm getting the super goop cc cream, Kiehls line serum, nexxus hair stuff, a body wash, and something else I can't remember but I will use everything!

Was the last item the Simple eye roller? If so, we're box twins! I used that CC cream yesterday...  it is AMAZEBALLS!

I got tired of the FB complainers about the Mirenesse (seriously FB ppl?  Clown makeup?) that I posted my pic wearing the Quick Kiss on their page.

(This is in no way a slam on anyone here posting about it... we say things like "I'm not sure, but I'll try it!".... they say things like "Fire the editor that picked that color"... because OF COURSE the fact that this chick didn't like one sample means that someone should lose their job...

I had a box weight of .887 and my box was awesome! Loved it! I'm not sure if anyone else posted with that box weight? I'm not sure how to do a spoiler on a mobile phone so I won't post what I got until I can figure that out.

^^;; that comment was probably a little harsh, but there's actually a search option at the top of the page (above post a reply, and third option in the row unread posts / (un)subscribe / search this post.)

As far as we can tell, there are supposedly two colours being passed around, but because of the weird packaging of the product, we can't figure out if there's actually one colour that looks different on people or if there are two colours.

Yeah most of those FB people need to go stick it where the sun don't shine.  People who think MUT is negative should just look there.  I LOVE the Mirenesse, personally.

Also some of them are so entitled that they seriously think that BB should send them a new color instead to 'keep their business'.  Are you serious????  They don't guarantee you'll love the color, give me a break.

Ok done now.

It's actually a very good deal if you're genuinely interested in trying their products, because any other time their products are really expensive and the shipping from australia is pricey too. If you're just trying to hoard a bunch of products for the hell of it...yes not so much worth it.

In all my years on the internet I've never seen a company just give away 6 full sized makeup products with paying a dime, it's always going to cost something somewhere. They made it pretty clear on their site that you pay S&H for each item.

I agree! Thank you SO MUCH for letting us know about it.

I just purchased 5 "free" items...- 4 lipglosses and the heated eyelash curler, then I paid $26 for the Mystery Gift with 5 surprise products inside!

Again, thank you. Do you know if we can place more than one order?

hmmmmm i've had my tracking since the 9th and it still hasn't updated. and i swore i got an email saying it shipped yesterday but when i went through my email to find it, i couldn't. i haven't seen anyone with box 28 post that they've received it yet so maybe it hasn't actually shipped yet.

Same for me - have had a tracking number for quite a while, but it never updated and still hasn't.  It's box 38, but it does have the Youngblood in it.  

I wouldnt mind if they had to switch it as long as they switch it to one with an eyeshadow pencil, lol.

people on BB's FB wall are super dumb. I dont' mean it meanly (Except I do) but how can you read the Women's Health card and think that they're charging you? Clearly you have to not be able to read to do that :|||
