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



I'm getting 3 white ones

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!

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!

Eeek, their CS is seriously lacking lately. Which is a bummer, because they're usually so great! But like you said, at least it finally got there!

I placed another order today & it's shipped already + includes everything I ordered on the shipping notice, so I'm hoping this one goes better!

 
  

ooooh, I hope I get the nail pen in black. (and the eyeliners look to be different colors, which is good i was only able to choose the color for the account with black.) 

exciting boxes!

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


 

I got that body butter a few months ago - it was the first thing I ever purchased with my Birchbox Points, I love it so much!

The box on the right is the box I got, and the nail pen is black and eyeliner silver! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
 
All I can say is I'm glad I didn't follow suit and try to use the free points code, because it just seems to be causing a lot of headaches. The code was meant to entice people to come back, not to give existing customers free boxes and $10 in points, most of us knew that. I don't think they anticipated quite so many people taking advantage of it, on all their multiple subs, or encouraging their 1000 friends on MUT to do the same. They must have lost a lot of money to have to start taking them back like this. I just hope that they don't stop with these promos because of a bad experience like this. 

 
The box I got for my brother arrived at the main post office! And if it's like my ipst bag than I will be recieving the box today!! Now I just need my box -_- /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I'm hoping its here to bit just never updated.

 
Glad to see so many of you are over the 200/point/glitch discussion as well.  

Mooooooovinnnn on....My main account box is FINALLY out for delivery!! Know what that means???  I get to complete my collection of the color club nail polishes, I'm supposed to get is the pearls shade today, then I'll have them all!  Whoohoo~!

Since I'm crazy and have five boxes, I had a dupe of Breakfast At, but I'm giving to my sister. I can't believe I managed to get only one dupe, crazy, eh?

 
I tried to paint my nails with the Pearl color club last night. I liked it, but I felt like I couldn't get it to look "professional" enough. It was kinda streaky and no matter how thin I applied it, it accumulated in lumps at the end of my nails. So I scrapped it and went with the old standby "Peace Love and OPI." Perhaps with a different base it might work better. I got my Vasanti Face Rejuvenator and was so excited because it was so big. Then I saw that it was only half full. Boo! The weight is 4oz so I'm sure it's right, but why waste all that space?

 
I wasn't aware other members were allowed to tell us what issues this month we should and shouldn't be able to continue talking about. I actually came to talk about how stinky the number 4 shampoo and mask are and how the shampoo has the consistency of glue. Also how the white Color Club looks completely different on then in the bottle. After the limited edition box goes on sale, I'm cashing out all my points and gift cards and getting the hell away from Birchbo, other than my yearly, which I seriously regret purchasing. No point in sitting on the points when nothing is ever in stock anyway. Not really worth the hassle of listening to/experiencing shipping crud every month either.

 
Painted my nails with Gold Struck this morning...

LOVE the color and that it's completely a 1-coat coverage...

But HOLY STREAKS AND BUBBLES BATMAN, the formula is awful!  The streaks got slightly better (or maybe just blurred) under a topcoat, but it's definitely not easy to work with.  

Still, from more than 1-2 feet away (and really, how close do people really get to my nails?) they look amazing.  So... success?

Sigh....no one is telling anyone what's allowed to be discussed. Only asked permission if we could move on since the discussion about the same topic are going on in two threads, it should maybe be in it's own thread at this point since it's had overtaken both the Birchbox promo thread AND this one.  

It's pretty clear I'm not the only one who feels this way.

Crap. I also found the formula of Breakfast at to be goopy too.

YESSS. same. ugh. it KILLS me. and its so thick and goopy. i haven't tried the blue/aquamarine/whatever one yet.  BUT, people really do get close to my nails. i get super self conscious if i'm holding something and my nails show in instagram. my sister also likes to look at my nails up close...i guess this is what we get for having a mom who was a fancy pants manicurist in san francisco back in the day. I just *can't* with the gold color club.

if anyone knows a good dupe, help a lady out. this was the kinda shade i've been waiting for all my life. but i am also too lazy/cheap to buy a thinner or something to save its formula.
