Yup!!! Home Goods is in that game plan

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.

I always joke the Home Goods is my Mecca.  The one by me is amazing!

It is so fun though to get an idea of what you are going to do with a new home! When I was looking for homes, I would totally sit with a notebook and jot down things I saw online that I might be interested to decorate my house with.  It totally was the type A in me.

I also did pretty good with Ashley furniture and JCPenny for some of the bigger  furniture purchases!  I am excited for you and this new part of your life!

I just used the SFBB100 to cancel and re-subscribe (I was at 199 points!)  And now I have 409! Thanks ladies!

It took me this long to realize I could get those bonus points with a monthly subscription! Reactivated #3 -- yay for $20 for shopping!

Is anyone having trouble with their UPS Mail Innovations tracking number. Every time I try and refresh the page it can't open. I've entered it through USPS and says that it was picked up by shipping partner on April 4th and thats it. Should I email Birchbox? Also on my other account my box was suppose to ship yesterday but still hasn't shipped, should I email them about that or wait it out. I don't want to annoy them too much.

Mine says the same thing. I have seen a bunch of other people say theirs is the same as well. I got my shipping email in the 9th at 5pm so I am giving it the 48 hours it says. I think they must have sent info to USPS about the shipment on the 4th but mail innovations is just slow.

Birchbox hates me today! The SFBB100 code isn't working for me and they pretty much called me a liar when I emailed about my smelly Anastasia brow gel, because no one else has mentioned an odor.  Rarrr.

 

[ashleylind]

Slightly off topic, but is there a big difference between the Clarisonic Mia and Clarisonic Mia 2? I've been eying the Mia 2, but Birchbox only has the original and the Aria. I didn't know if the Mia 2 was worth the extra money (and the fact that I won't have BB points to use). Or any love for the Aria?

Try using sfbb100 instead of SFBB100. It didn't like my capital letters, but when I used lower case it accepted the code.

I had the same dilema, I was saving for a Mia but then I realized it was not the Mia 2 so I was thinking about Aria. I believe the Mia two has two speeds and the Mia only has one. But than I was thinking that seems like a lot to spend on that so IDK if I want it at all now. . .

I even sent BB an email asking if they had plans of getting the Mia 2. The response was something like – don't know but we are always looking to add new products.

I ordered the Mia 2 off eBay and it's definitely a fake. So, I'm still in the process of duking it out with eBay and a seller who said they were from Oklahoma (yet the product shipped from China). So I want to legitimately purchase one this time. I'm hoping I'll get that money back at some point, but really, I should have known better. I was just too excited and antsy to save.

Yeah I try to always buy places like Ulta, Sephora, BB etc but it is soooo tempting off ebay or Amazon when you see the prices. Even though it's a fake does it work well?

I bought a fake phone case on amazon once, the rubber wore off like it was eraser material. I am so careful about my purchases on their now. I can get the same products at Marshall's for almost the same price. I have had my Mia for a few years now and love it. I don't see a knock off lasting as long.

I got my box the other day, and i'm really disappointed that I got a lotion and more food. Although, I did get an eyeliner so that's exciting.

I'm scared to use it, just in case using it will make me not able to return it. That said, I did read up on whether the Mia 2 fakes were worthwhile, and they just don't have the shelf life. I guess the 3 wires that attach the brush heads rust easily and the authentic brush heads don't fit in how they should.

I have my second box stuck in TN, too...but I didn't actually get my shipping email from BB until 8:30AM yesterday morning...so I'm going to wait until tomorrow morning after the "48 hour update" passes. Then I'll email BB to see whats going on...

For some reason when I click the link in my shipping email or my actual BB site account they can't find a record of anything, but when I copy/paste the tracking number into USPS.com it shows TN...I figure, it has to be somewhere!

(come to me, little BB....come to me...)

edit; forgot to mention that usps.com says that the box has been there since 4/4! Oops!

 

[MaryJane80]

Mine says in TN too but the status says "in transit" so hopefully its moving along and hasn't arrived to the next location yet.

 

[kawaiimeows]

My box has been hanging around in Atlanta longer than it would be if it were UPS MI. It still hasn't updated yet but I'd like to assume it's going to be in my town today. Not going to get my hopes up or anything though...

I have a Mia2 and I only use one speed. I feel the higher speed is too rough for my face.
