Birchbox April 2014 - SPOILERS

[tacehtpuekam]

I HAVE SO MANY POINTS! Well, 1000. That's a lot for me. I usually spend them as soon as I got 100. 

Seriously contemplating doing this on my other two accounts so I have 1400... hello, shopping spree!

I officially have 1500! If I wait until next month, I'll have a 20% off code to use too and even MORE points LOL...oh goodness Birchbox shopping spree is totally on!

I see that too but...right now my cart is $100 ($0 after points) and it lets me pick UPS 2nd Day Air for free!

I have two accounts. One has shipped but the other has not updated with April's products yet even though my subscription shows as active. I emailed Birchbox but haven't heard back from them yet. Anybody else have this happen to them or have an idea what might begoing on?

 

[CharstarWishes]

Mine has shipped, but my page never updated, not sure what I'm getting yet. I hope that code works later this month.

So I am definitely going to get some BeautyBlenders with points when pick twos come back in stock. Has anyone tried the black Pro kind? What's the difference?

I just opened Birchbox account #4 using the code SFBB100 and was awarded 200 points, plus 50 points in the account I used to refer myself.  Going to spend my points now...

The shipping date for this box is 4/24.

Has anyone purchased the Miracle Skin Transformer Miracle Revival Mud somewhat recently? I wanted to add it to my next big order, but I feel like it's been out of stock for a super long time & I'm beginning to wonder if it will ever come back! E-mailed CS to see if they had any idea but I haven't heard anything back from them.

Awesome! What are you going to buy?

I think they figured out the glitch... I just cancelled and resubbed and only got 100 points with the SFBB100 code.

Oh no!  I opened my 4th account at 6:00 this morning (EST) and got the 200 points.  It was a brand new account though, so I don't know if that makes a difference.

It's alright, I'd rather get 110 points for resubbing than nothing.

I just used the 200 points for an Eyeko Black Magic Mascara.  That's all.  I'm supposed to be on beauty no-buy until I use up some of the stuff I have been obsessively purchasing the past few months - ha!  I couldn't pass up using the 200 points and really needed a new mascara anyway.

For the life of me, I cannot understand how some of the ladies here can save up their Birchbox points.  As soon as I acquire enough points I HAVE to spend them! 

 

[SOSRedAlertSOS]

How weird!!! My main account got the 200 points but the other account only got 100. Whatever! I'll take it! Like I said, if I'm going to sub every month, I'd rather keep canceling and resubscribing to get an extra bit of points on top of review points. I now have over 1000 between my two accounts! I'm gonna keep saving because I think it'll be fun to make a huge splurge in a couple months since I'm going on a no buy.

 

[kawaiiwoofs]

I keep telling myself that I'm going to save my points (I'm at ... 1200? I did a 400-500 point haul last month) so I can go on a shopping spree to stock up my new apartment with cute home goods from BB once I finally move in August. But, another part of me feels like I can find the same home things at outlets or TJ Maxx or something and this part of me is telling me to BUY ALL THE PRETTIES!

Just got 200 points! YAY!

While I don't mind Kind Bar, I do wonder if they will be the new Luna Bar.

I sub, cancel and resub a lot,  not so much for the points, but because I'm away a lot and there's no one to pick up my packages.  The points are like an added bonus.  I did just open my 4th account because I saw others had opened accounts and got the 200 points with the SFBB100 code and figured I might as well get another box, and there are a few things I had in previous Birchboxes that I would like again, so a new account might work. 

I opened my 3rd account this earlier month, and am getting the Beauty Protector spray that I received in my 1st 2 accounts a few months ago. At the time I didn't think it was something I would use so gave them away, but now I want it!   I'm excited to get another one!

1000 points is a lot of points!

If you have Home Goods - go there (they are a part of the TJ Maxx/Marshalls chain).  When I moved - I would go to Home Goods a couple times a month to see what was new. I have art work, dishes, lamps, knick-knaxs, kitchenware, etc from there. I even bought a really cool red chair that my parents fight over on who gets to sit there when they come over!  

Wow 1200 points! And here I think I am doing amazing at 800.

Yup!!! Home Goods is in that game plan /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> you can tell that I have a shopping problem when I'm already planning out my purchases after I move in August even though I have yet to know my assignment and even though my contract is not yet finalized. Oopsies.
