Oh my gosh, good thinking!

Three boxes and not a single Paula's Choice! Hmph. I'll happily trade anyone for any of the products, I want to try it aaallllllllll!

Have you tried e-mailing Paula's Choice? They sent me a whole kit for acne-prone skin when I asked where I could purchase samples.

I got this box and it was waiting for me when I got home! =) I won't be using the masque (it has silicones I can't use) and I can't use perfumes, but I'm decently happy with the rest. I'm actually super impressed with the Sumita so far. I've always had the worst luck with pencils, but after a couple of hours and no smudging. Heck, it's even sticking around in my waterline and that's like unheard of!
I'm getting this box too! What color nail polish/eyeliner did you get?

Polish is the Pearl one. Heirloom Pearl, I think? The Sumita is the plum color. It's fairly dark, but a nice change from black. The Kind Bar was Maple Pumpkin.

So I got my 2nd account's box: BP spray, Kind bar, green CC, Supergoop, and brow gel, not too shabby. Wasn't planning to keep this one for next month so I cancelled, but changed my mind when I remembered the SFBB100 code, so I used it not only did it work, but it gave me 200 extra points instead of 100!


Thank you for this!  I resubbed on my second account and got 200 points right away!

So I've already used sfbb100 and got 100 points, but I'm super tempted to use it again. My box hasn't shipped or updated yet, though. Can I cancel before my page updates and resub to prepay for May? Will I still be able to review my April items when my page updates? And will I still be able to use sfbb100 on the same account? Sorry for all the questions. I just need one more resub on this account to even out my points and finally (hopefully) go back to only getting one box/month!

I just tried to use it on an account I had already used it on, and it didn't work. I think it's one-use-per-customer because I turned around and successfully used it on a different account that I have never used any codes (except for things like anniversary codes) on.

Aw bummer. Grr. So tempted but I don't want to reactivate my third account! Not again! But a free $10!!! Why, birchbox?! I knew I should have waited before using that code! The temptation was distracting me from my studies, though! I had to pull the trigger so I could get stuff done! Omg, I sound like a nutcase! Haha, this is what birchbox has turned me into. Ps thanks for the response! So I guess I won't cancel just yet.

Please let the nail art pen be in black or white. (not that it matters for my nails, I started getting Calgel manicures to help my nails grow out.) but I use the nail art brushes for crafting iphone cases and other things with polish beyond manicures.



8 items! 

i already left feedback for the three pack, in case they decided to make it so you can only leave feedback for the group later on. (they have before) 

interesting to note, my Birchbox Ace account got to pick which eyeliner I received, that would be a nice perk to add to the ace program. (cough, bb, I know you are reading this)

What if you sign up after the shipping date??

 

[onelilspark]

My box arrived today!

 

Verdict: Love the silver eyeliner!  ...and that's about it?

The "Color Care" shampoo has sulfates. Not happy. 

The Color Club is ivory.  It's a decent polish, but I will probably never wear it.

The Balm is cute, but I like lip color to have more pigment. 

On the plus side, these are exactly the kinds of products I want to see in my box, so I'm happy overall with the curation. Just not with the products themselves.

For those of you that do month to month subs- i want to cancel my month to month., but i can't find the cancel button...it only says upgrade to annual subscription. Will the cancel button be missing until my april box is delivered? 

I just wanted to cancel before i forget in the chaos of moving.

That's so weird...

My cancel link is right about my truck / tracking number and right below the upgrade to the annual. My box got delivered yesterday, so I don't know if that makes a difference.

I took a picture of the ingredients. The second ingredient is Sodium Laureth Sulfate.

Well that's a huge bummer! I was looking forward to getting the Fekkai in my 2nd box /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Madness!

And good idea about the picture. I need to take a picture of the ingredients for the No. 4 Hair Masque. Unfortunately, they clarifying shampoo didn't spell out its ingredients, but it claims to be sulfate free. =

They have the ingredients on the Birchbox site.  I didn't think to check the ingredients prior to getting my box because it says it's for color care.

They don't have the ingredients up on the site for the masque, though. I may give the cleanser a try as it's sulfate free, but I can't use the masque due to the silicones.
