Oh, I love it! And I just got an iPhone 5! BUT you can't use GWP codes and discount codes in the same order, can you? /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I'm too cheap to pass up the discount in favor of the GWP I'm afraid. Also does anyone remember last year's April fools when Birchbox announced they were unrolling a subscription box where they just sent out boxes?? I wonder if they will do anything this year.

Nope. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I even called them last month asked if you could use both and they said no, which I think is kind of dumb, but no big deal I guess. I just wait for a month where I don't have a code and then get the GWP and a Pick 2. This is a good time to do that because last month's GWP was with a $50 or $55 purchase (forgot which) and this one is only $35.

I NEED some boring lol here in the Midwest we get freezing one day and 70 degrees the next. It's awful!!

No joke. I cannot keep track of this weather and it makes picking out clothes for my daughter in the morning confusing. I just hope Kansas doesn't have another May snow shower again.

If I put that on my phone, I would crack my screen within a day. My iPhone will forever have the ugly Lifeproof case on it.   /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Amen. My phone is so terribly abused on a daily basis. Thank goodness for my Otter Box! It's even flow off the top of my car and into a concrete highway barrier. Dusted it off. Still fine.

Wait... You mean I CAN'T take a picture of my friend and find out what wrinkle cream she is using!? Now I am angry. Not funny BB. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I have no idea if other people are like that. Maybe I'm just weird. That said, I'd love to have a damn "rainy day" here. The rainy weather makes me sooooooooo happy.
My friend moved from VA to CA for a few years, she also missed the rainy, crap weather days living in CA because those days give you an excuse to stay home, sit on the couch, watch movies, do nothing, etc. and it's perfectly reasonable. While living in CA, she felt the stress of nice weather, like she had to be outside enjoying the beautiful Cali sunshine everyday because it was beautiful ALL the time.  

I, on the other hand, would be perfectly content with year round warm temps.  A rainy day here and there is a nice change though.

Galaxy here too /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> That is SUCH A CUTE CASE!!! Bummer.

So I just got this "Birchbox Aces" email. Is this a new thing? Heck yes to free shipping on every order and an extra 50 points when I spend $100!?! Too bad I rarely ever spend that much money in one sitting. But still a pretty cool way to reward members.. As if the points alone aren't rewarding enough!

A couple weeks ago we had a severe thunderstorm and then I looked out the winter and it was snowing it's butt off!! I said only in Missouri/Kansas!! Lol

they already did with an iPhone app XD apparently it lets you shave and identifies ANY makeup! I have a nexus so I can't get it, but if it's any consolation, most cute and high quality cases sell for at least $10. 20% off $35 is only $7 so it's more worth it to get the case since you can't even buy another quality case with what you save. that's how I do the cost / benefit calculations in my head when it comes with gwp

That's a pretty silly offer, though. 50 points is worth about $5, but if you wait for a 20% off code, that would be $20 off.

Yeah, $20 off is better for sure but if you're already spending the money and/or don't want to wait for a 20% promo then it's still a nice incentive.

I got the Aces e-mail on my new gift sub that I started in March, but not on the account I've had for 2 years. Kinda weird. It will probably show up later on my older account. I'm not sure the Aces program will benefit me because I usually try to make my orders just a few dollars above $35 so I can get a Mystery Pick-2. If there's a lot of stuff I want, I divide it into 2 orders so I can get 2 Pick-2's, like I did around Christmas when they had a promo code for extra points. If I had $100 of stuff in my cart that I absolutely had to have, an extra 50 points is definitely not an incentive for me to spend the $100 in 1 purchase. I think Birchbox is trying to encourage larger purchases, but $5 in points is a crappy incentive. I get 50 points almost every month for reviewing the products in my Birchbox. Also, the promo code BBSHIP for free shipping on any order was still working last time I checked. I don't think you can use another promo code at the same time, but if you don't have a %off code and just want free shipping, it's a good enough deal. I guess if you look at it like $100 = 100 points, but now $100 = 150 points, it looks like a better deal, but Birchbox ran Spend $35/get 35 extra points several times last year.

those were my thoughts exactly! i hate point bonus codes. i think they're *so* useless compared to a % off when i'm actually making a purchase. of course, i do love when i can cancel and resub for extra points but then i feel a little guilty /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I do tend to lust after products that automatically come with an extra 35 points but since those offers usually pop up before the item itself is actually available, i dont tend to pull the trigger since i like reading reviews before i buy.
