I've had good luck emailing them, they usually respond within 3 days. However, if you don't want to wait you can call their customer service number. Either way you should get the same response. ETA: Birchbox contact info Here's their number (877) 487 7272 email: [email protected]

 For me, it's a matter of necessity.  If I tried to wear pants in the NC super-humidity, I'd pass out!  Cookie, I don't know how you get through a Texas summer without shorts, but I'm sure it's all part of your super-powers!  (Maybe the cape creates a breeze?) 

(We're supposed to get a super-cell of storms passing through for the next few days that will take the highs from the mid-90s to the low 70s.  I'm unreasonably excited about this)

Hahahaha, well, I'm not saying pale people CAN'T wear shorts....just Cookie can't wear shorts. Believe me, I would LOVE to! I'm a bad combination of REALLY LONG legs, plus their thicker from ballet training/teaching AND I'm overweight so their curvy! All in all, it makes a whole lotta whiteness being shown! I'm actually that weird girl who will still wear light sweaters and 3/4 sleeves with full jeans in the summer. Mainly because I spend all my time indoors anyhow. The sun is not my friend.

<------- he looks friendly, don't let it fool you! LOL Ya'll do me proud and wear those shorts though!

I'm uber pale and received Kitty ... and I LOVE it.

What does Kitty look like? and is it sad I really want it because of the name?

No, that's the same reason I want it!

Aha! We picked 3 of the 5 colors in an online vote. (I don't know if they ever announced the winners.  I remember picking Hedge Fund, Fox Hunt, and Delirium)

Same ones I picked, I was wondering when they would come out.

Lipstick in Kitty (from Birchbox) with Urban Decay lipliner in Naked (from HauteLook Beauty Bag).  Really excited to pair these two colors together!

Those two look good on you, I might just need both.

Those of you who got box #43 (bobby pins, Juice Beauty moisturizer, Violet Oasis argan oil, Miss Jessie's Rapid Recovery and Super Sweetback, and ModelCo lipstick), what color lipstick did you get? My box was scheduled to arrive on the 10th, but USPS doesn't even think it has it yet.
I got Dusk 'til Dawn in box 43

Thanks for posting I am waiting on the same box.

I just got my box today!!! It was box 14 and the lip color was, speak of the devil, it's a red color!! Lol I got it in Red Velvet. I had wanted to try Disco Fever bc Cookie made it look amazing haha I'm going to try it out later, I'm planning a lips post on my blog, and so far I have the colors Get Naked and Peony as well.  Woohoo!

Ah man, I'm getting 2 of these boxes. I was hoping for another color because I don't wear red lipstick. Birchbox and Ipsy always send me bright lippies. I have my profiles set to as low key and natural as possible but it doesn't matter.

uuhhh, so has anyone ever had birchbox show you one box online and then ship you a completely different box??  Online it shows me getting:

Eyeko Skinny Liquid Eyeliner
TanTowel® Classic Formula Self-Tan Towelettes Half Body
ModelCo Party Proof Lipstick Trio
Miss Jessie's® Original Rapid Recovery Treatment
Miss Jessie's® Original Super Sweetback Treatment
Coastal Scents® Neutral Mirage Palette Set
 
What I got today- not even close!  I got a whish exfoliating body wash, deodorant swipe, derma e hydrating mist, Evolvh conditioner, stila beso liquid lipstick... WTH???

 

[jbird1175]

My box picture will not update so I did some instagram investigating to see what color Stila I'm getting. I'm impatient. For anyone who is getting Box 19....

yup. i do it all the time if i'm broke around the 1st. i wish that my job paid me on the 1st and 15th instead of every other wednesday /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

But by being every other Wednesday instead of on the 1st and the 15th, you get 26 paychecks a year instead of 24. I call that a win.

At this point I can wait for the box...just give me a peak!!!! Between BB and Ipsy I am getting a lesson in patience this month...meanwhile Julep is sending things without telling me they are....can't win...good thing someone was home.

i didn't think of it like that. also, my rent is always due on the 5th and if it's a non pay-day week it throws me off a little. my fiance and i get paid within 2 days of each other and complain about that and the other bills due on random days all the time, lol

That's the same color I received.  Yikers!  It was way too dark and bright for me.  I toned it down by blotting a bunch and then adding a neutral gloss over the top.  I'm  going to play with it some more this weekend since I like the staying  power.

Yup, that happened to me last year, although the (wrong) box I received was also missing an item. Just drop them an email! They might send the correct box (and then you will most likely end up with two boxes since they will probably tell you to keep the one you received), or they might give you 100 points and fix your profile to reflect the box you received.
