Ppl take their cosmetics very seriously hahaha
I can't see any crazy comments on their page...I guess they removed them all.

What upsets me is I get charged tax now that they moved to TN.  So using the code was not free for me.  Yeah it was only 98 cents, but still, that was 98 cents I didn't think I was spending (since it'd offset with the 200 points).  I'm fine with them taking away the points, as long as they refund my $10.98 I paid to re-sub and cancel sending me a box.  I don't want a box for 98 cents, I don't need any more samples.  I only did it because it'd be free.

ETA:  Especially when the box is a dupe of what I already received dupes on my 1st and 2nd account.

That's a legit reason to be ticked off. Did ya email them?

 But of course, I already used my anniversary code & pick twos are not in stock..

Might just grab it anyway with my points, since I've been waiting so long!
You can always at least pick up a men's pick two.  I did that yesterday--they sometimes have some nice things and large sample sizes--I once received a great spice rub for meat and a microdermabrasion product--then again, you might get beard oil!

THANK YOU! I always forget about the men's ones! I know my boyfriend secretly enjoys the samples I pick up for him sometimes. 

 Plus, maybe he will be a little more forgiving of the MANY packages arriving this weekend if there's something for him haha

ETA: I should be able to get the men's pick two free, even if it's not men's products right? It's not coming up free even though I have $46 in my cart.

I got both of my boxes today, pretty happy with them, super happy for the green color club. I wish I had gotten different flavors of kind bars but oh well! Hopefully I can trade the eyeliner for a blue color club /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

My box photo on my first account hadn't loaded up, so I had no idea which Sumita eyeliner color I was getting or which ColorClub polish color I was getting. I ended up with the aquamarine polish and the plum eyeliner, both of which I will definitely wear!

I went on the site today to review my items and my box photo was finally loaded, but it shows in the picture that I received the Supergoop CC Cream when in fact I actually received the City Sunscreen Serum. Interesting... I have sampled both in the past so it doesn't matter to me either way, but I thought that it was odd for the photo to not match the items listed? Has this happened to anyone before?
My account also shows the CC Cream, although I haven't received  my box yet...it kind of confused me, as I have tried the CC Cream before (I guess in a mystery pack, because it doesn't show up in my box history? Weird...)

And this means that I'm (most likely) getting three black eyeliners in my three boxes, lol (2 sumita and 1 cynthia rowley). Though it is hard to tell if it's plum or black from the photo. In any case, the three boxes I'm getting are: #14, #37, and #42. Not a bad haul!I 
I also got box 14 and the eyeliner is plum.

 

[ScoutSays]

I am getting box 47 on my second account. Does anyone know what color the eyeliner is?

 

[bliss10977]

So, my box finally came today and didn't include my BKR water bottle. Ugh. Anyone who has done birchbox plus in the past, does the extra usually come with your box? I was under the impression that they'd ship together. Especially since it's already the 17th. Birchbox customer service must be working overtime right now. I've never seen so many issues at once, I hope they sort all of the problems out soon!

 

[hitchcockblonde]

I never understand who people think they are helping by doing this.

Agree. Also the people who write to customer service and complain that someone else got 100 points for referring themselves, or 200 points from the 100 point code, and why didn't they? No need to re-emphasize these little perks to the company, guys, just come here and someone will show you how to do it /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

The mystery sample pack is working for me now. I just kept refreshing... also emailed them, facebooked, them, and tweeted them! LOL

I went to read some of the comments on their FB page last night.  I haven't been on their Fb page since before I found MUT, but I specifically remember one girl being a huge BB evangelist...she would respond to everyone's customer service questions quicker than BB did and explain how the service worked better than BB did, etc.  But last night I saw a post from *her* that has since been removed...she posted her referral link to Ipsy and said something like "Do you want to sign up for a beauty service that WON'T take 100 points from you?? Click here!"  She was fired up, and I could understand where she was coming from...she said she had referred several friends and readers to BB using that promo and was embarrassed by how BB handled the situation.  I was really surprised to see her turning on BB though.

MUT readers knew it was a glitch, but I think a lot of bloggers were posting it as if it were supposed to give 200.  At least that is the impression I got from several of the posts.

Yup. I've seen some blog say that if you use SFBB100 that you would get 200 point and if you used BB100 you get 100.
