Birchbox April 2014 - SPOILERS

[AshJs3]

I'm totally considering buying the whole nail polish collection. I'm getting green and white in my boxes but I saw the blue on Instagram and I love it too! I also finally got to order my Vasanti Enzyme stuff last night and it's already shipped! Perhaps I won't have to go too long without it. That stuff is amazing!

Here's my first of three boxes.  I just cancelled this sub though.  The white polish was the only color I didn't really want, but I'm getting polish in my other two boxes too, so hopefully those will be different colors.  I actually liked the perfume, and I don't usually like perfumes.  It's a bit strong for my taste, but at least it's not floral-y.  I can't stand floral scents.  

I'm going to try out the shampoo and hair mask next time we go anywhere! 

Bonus terrible swatch of the eyeliner.  I broke it while drawing it on.  I've never done a swatch of eyeliner before, ha. 



Almost forgot to mention, this was originally a four-item box, plus the kind bar, but they threw in the eyeliner at the last minute I guess.

Here's my box, box 22:

Not a particularly memorable or interesting box for me but I'll live. Plus getting a 6 item box was nice. I think I'll save the shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel for when I travel next weekend.

Love the nail polish and excited to try the kind bar, since I'm all about finding gluten free snacks.

I'm getting box 14. I'm not super excited about this one. I just know that eyeliner will be black! And I just got a black eyeliner in my sample society. (It's fantastic though) I am super excited for the nail polish though... You win some and you lose some I guess.

I got 14 but my eyeliner was Plum! Woot Woot!

There is hope! Lucky you btw.

Does anyone know the colors of the Sumita in box 1 and the Cynthia Rowley and Color Club in box 47 yet?

Me too! I got my shipping notification Wednesday morning, yesterday it was just saying wait 24-48 hours for shipping info to update and now the link is broken! I'll wait until Monday to say anything just in case it is an error on the shipping website page and not a BB website error. Fingers crossed that the box is at home waiting for me?
Try copying the tracking # into the USPS website.  My boxes hadn't updated but it says on the USPS website that they were picked up by the shipping partner on 4/4 - 8 days ago!  I just emailed Birchbox and was told my boxes (2 of them!) must be lost, and they are going to send replacement boxes or if none available, refund me.

Which box # had the white/pearl polish?

I'm hoping my other two boxes have the Pearl and Gold polishes for the complete collection.

Off topic- there wouldn't happen to be a Mary from Seattle on MUT reading this? If so, I got your birchbox order today of perfume and the birchbox finds. Wonder if you got mine? Enjoy my BP spray and Toni & Guy texturizing spray! And you got a good pick two too!

This is like a MUT "Missed Connection"!

Can you pick how many points you use? For example, if I have 500 points but my order is $43, can I use 400 points and pay the remaining $3 with a card, or does it require me to use all 500 points?

=( I get getting my reputation-giving privileges provoked because I'm a happy thumbs up giver, lmao. 

I have a question for you dolls that I forgot to ask earlier when I posted my pictures. 

I sent my main account gift cards from my two secondary accounts.  Can I use those gift cards on the secondary accounts so that I can utilize the welcome discount when I make my purchases?  Or do they have to be used on the account/email address I emailed them to?

You should be able to use the codes on any account /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

You will be charged 500 points even if your total is $40.01. If you have enough points, you cannot split between points and cash. This is why I've started just converting points to gift cards: Different rules apply to those. You have to apply a full card, but the remaining balance will remain on your account for later use.

Thank you, doll!  I would have just given you reputation instead of clogging up the board with another post, but I'm still not allowed to... lmao

Nope, you can't split up points payment like this, so you'd be better off getting a $50 gift card, which would allow you to use the remaining $7 for another use.

Someone reported that they were able to use a gift card on account that wasn't the one the gift card was sent to. Makes sense, since gift cards aren't normally tied to an owner. Just FYI, though, I've been able to send a gift card from one account to the same account. Even though the same email address is entered, the order still goes through no problem.

Thank goodness it's not just me, haha.  I'm the same.  I'd rather thumbs up something to show the OP that I agreed, liked what they posted, or whatever, rather than making a whole new post and clogging up the forum! 

Give me my rights back, please!  =)
