I just looked in the shop, and your right!  The Jamun in the mini set is listed as plum but in the full size single pencil in Mansha is plum.   I think my card says the one in my box is a dark purple (didn't say plum) and I know there used to be a full size pencil in Jamun that was dark purple.  

Maybe the blue and gray will appear in future boxes?  I wouldn't mind getting either shade! 


Oh! That's confusing. Or maybe it's not confusing and my fried brain is just confused.

I'm sorta kinda over this 200 points glitch discussion. Can we move on? I'm still waiting for my last birchbox, it's my main account box too! Anyone else still waiting?

I'm waiting on two -- and one doesn't seem to have moved out of NJ! But I'm not stressing about them because I should have a nail polish swap box *and* Sephora Sunmerstash order sitting on my stairs right this very minute. I'm just eight blocks away! Bus, hurry up!

ME!!!! Granted mine has updated on the 14th compared others who haven't gotten any update lol

The women's was updated on the 15th saying it left the Fishers IN facility so I'm guess and hoping that it is currently on it's way to California. *crosses fingers*

While my men's box was updated on the 14th saying it left the Fishers IN facility and it now has an estimated delivery date of 4/17-4/21.

Still waiting on my box as well.  It amazes me that it shows it shipped from a state directly connected to the state that I'm in and yet it's been in transit for almost 5 days.

*edit*  For some reason I thought it shipped from Tennessee, but it actually came from NJ as usual.  Still, it'll sit in Conley for the next 3 days.

What I'm wondering is how did you know about the 200 points at all if not for MUT? The promo from BB stated 100 points, it was SFBB100 after all. And as far as I know the only reason we knew about the 200 was b/c someone discovered it accidentally and shared it. I cancelled my subscription and re-subscribed to get the 200 points with the promo code and I know I am not the only one. That is a lot of points to be thrown away and I don't blame BB one bit for taking those points back from me or anyone else who mistakenly was given double points. I get what you are saying, sort of, but I think it's greedy to feel entitled to the extra points when it was a glitch and also to call out @easybreezy  for a truly innocent comment kind of rubs me wrong. I'm not trying to start a fight by any means, this is just my opinion on the matter.

Mine's still stuck on the 14th. It's the same on both the Newgistics tracker and USPS. This kinda sucks.

I got one of my alt account boxes, not my favorite, but not bad either. This one went from TN-NJ then straight to California without being scanned elsewhere. My other two were scanned in Indiana on the way as well, so I assume that's why they weren't here today.

The same reason you feel it rub wrong for me to "call out" somebody, is the same feeling I had to even make the comment in the first place.  It is a double edged sword, and nobody is wrong to think, feel, or say what they did/do.  I already said in my original post that I didn't think she, or any other person, meant comments in a negative or bad way.

I knew about it from here, but that doesn't mean everybody was posting "hey, look, a glitch, go get your 200 points now!" etc.  I saw the code, I saw it might give 200 points, I signed up for a new second account for the first time.  They gave me 200 points.  That does not make me greedy or entitled.

I don't feel entitled.  If they want to take them away, fine, but they need to do it in a proper manner.  I have a problem with how it went down, not that it went down.

Geesh it's nearly time for May spoilers thread where does time go?!

Same box came to me today in San Diego. I got the gold polish. The tracking had not updated since the 14tj.

Torn between saving for this bag or just getting a less expensive one. I have 246 & 10 points on my two accounts after a cheeky splurge on Oribe products. Hmmmm with 25% off it would be $43

Just gotta say that for some reason I love the color scheme of this box!!

How strange, the box contents photo shows the blue. I hope my other boxes are the same as the photo, I already set up a swap because I'm supposed to get two greens.

I'm awaiting my one & only box, I won't see it before Saturday based on its current status.

I'm not too far off San Diego so it makes me feel hopeful with you two mentioning your tracking didn't update but you two received your boxes! My brother's box for sure is coming the end of this week or Monday and mine didn't update so I'm hoping it arrives within the same time frame as his.

I got box 46 in the mail today and it's an okay box. I used my real profile info on this one.

I also got box 32 on my original account, and I have literally checked everything off in the profile quiz. I have been very happy with this account for the past three months.

 

[tacehtpuekam]

8 days, 3 e-mails, and one Twitter message later...finally got a response from CS about my order!

Apparently, everything is out of stock. So they're refunding my points + 100 points for the trouble. Which is nice and all but..why did it take that long to tell me that?! 

Also kind of annoyed that I used my anniversary code on a BIG order and only got one item, but I think I'll try to flip them over to another account & use mobile20 or something. 

Just glad they finally responded!

Actually there are two versions of this box. Box 8 My picture shows the gold color. I wish I would have gotten blue though.

That's too bad, but at least you get the sorry points so you can make a bigger order now /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I finally heard back about mine as well, it supposedly shipped on the 10th but said nothing except "Electronic Shipping Info Received." I first emailed about this issue on the 16th. Today it finally showed as picked up, and the response I just got was, "Your order has already shipped. Here is the tracking info: " with no mention or apology about how it took over a week to ship :/ But at least some of my boxes finally got here!
