No biggie, though.  I like the silver liner, and I got the blue Color Club and it's a super cute color. The kind bar was good.

Has anyone tried the Keims shampoo? I hate trying shampoos without coordinating conditioners, but I'm curious if this one is worth it!
I got the shampoo this month and I really like it! I recently dyed my hair and my hair has been looking sorta dead and it made my hair not only super soft, but it was also super shiny and nice looking. I'd totally buy a full size if I ever run out of my shampoo supply.

Speaking of shampoo!  Who's tried the Davines Oi? I like how my hair looks but the smell is really bad.  It totally reminds me of how my hair smells after I get it colored.  Really overpowering!  Does anyone know if all of the formulas smell the same? I wanted to try the products for color treated hair.

I got a sample of this in a pick 2 recently... I used it once and it's been sitting in my shower ever since for the same reason. It smells like very strong ammonia to me. Super unpleasant!

So...I placed an order two weeks ago for the Arcona Cranberry Gommage, Rosanna Medium Vessel, Rosanna Tray, & a pick two. Got my shipping notice for the order and only the Arcona was on it. I e-mailed CS & it took them a while to get back to me, but I was told the rest of my order was out of stock indefinitely and they'd refund my points. 

Well, my order showed up yesterday with everything except the pick two (which was free anyway, so that's not a huge deal). The problem is..I already spent the points they refunded and now I ended up getting my entire first order. 

Has anyone ever had something similar happen? I want to let them know about it, but I'm kind of curious how they'll handle it since I already basically spent the points twice.

Honestly I just wouldn't mention it to them...their mistake, your lucky day!

For any other techy inclined mut users:

Birchbox announced its B round of funding today! 60mil, bringing the total to 71.9mil with a valuation of 465mil! craycray

they also released updated subscriber numbers, over 800,000!! 

no wonder they have so many variations now.

it's definitely getting very mainstream, there are at least 4 other girls who get boxes in my building, at the mail desk I used to know the pink box was mine, now its practically always somebody else's with a different apt. # scribbled on the side. the desk guy said that lots of people have asked about my boxes over the past year, so they are like real life referrals minus referral points :/ for graze too. lol helps that the boxes are bright pink and say  BIRCHBOX all over.

New LE box is available! http://www.birchbox.com/shop/limited-edition-in-full-bloom

I know there was some discussion on whether or not this box was a good deal when the news first leaked because of all the deluxe/travel sizes- but I am at a $90 before even trying to calculate in the products you can't buy in the size included.

My guess is that with summer coming soon it el be hit and it might melt.

This is my first time with Birchbox, so I'm not sure if they usually have this during the hot seasons.

got the full bloom box and sumita mascara for my mom today for 40 cents!!!!

i was going to save up my points for a big haul but she deserves a nice present and she really enjoyed the mother's day box last year too (more so than her gift sub, i think).

but, i was annoyed that pick 2's weren't in stock when i ordered, for men or women. i know they have to package and restock them but it seems like it's been a big trend lately.

I was thinking about getting it, but I used my 25% off on an order this month already (so I gotta wait til next month until it's active again). My mother's in China right now and prefers Estee Lauder anyway, and while I like the contents, a few of the items are dupe for me personally... even though it is a great set and great value, I feel like I'd get more out of buying things I specifically need and have been putting off... like a foundation (Jouer MMT ;_; )

But we'll see how I feel in a few days. The difference between 20% off coupon and 25% is like $3 XD If I like it that much, I can hopefully grab it before it runs out.

Are the men's pick twos out of stock too?

Just called to see about my full sized order from the 16th that has still not shipped and got another--things are running late because of the move reply.  The same thing they have been saying for two months--no offer of points or apologies, just "I am sure it will go out soon, and they will send you an e-mail when it ships".  Great--thanks.  :angry:

Unfortunately, I highly doubt it will still be in stock this time next month.

I just ordered the new LE box. Some of it is going to my mom, some to myself because there are a few things I know she won't like: anything rose scented, specifically. Can't say I'm thrilled about the pick 2's being out of stock, though. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I used my points to get it, but I really want to start hoarding points to save up for the Clarisonic. I told myself I didn't want one for the past year but I keep coming back to the idea of getting one. If I'm going to bite the bullet it might as well be using BB points!

I was hoping to get the LE In Full Bloom box with the mobile 20, Mom50 and Diamond Tray codes...  =_=

When I tried, the website told me one promo code per order...  

My understanding was that with Birchbox you can stack their promo codes..   did they take it away or am I doing my order wrong?

You definitely cannot stack promo codes on their site.
