[Tiffany27la]

Thanks so much, ladies!! I'm gonna give them a call rather than email so hopefully it can get handled a little sooner! Will report back with the details! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

They should give you the points -- it's in their FAQ!

I made a purchase just before a promotion was released! Can the promotion still be applied to my order?
We will honor any orders placed 3 days prior to the promotion release date. Please contact us at 877-487-7272 so we may manually apply the promotion.

Just got off the phone with Kara from BB customer service, and she said she was happy to retroactively add the 50 points to my account! Woot!

One birthday candle (melts during shipping and has no wick), paper crown/hat that says "Birchbox Birthday Babe!" (or some equally lame slogan), a "pin the 'OMG LOVING THIS PRODUCT RITE NOW'" products from the spoiler video on Katia and Hayley game, birthday cake flavored lip gloss with a "frosting" frost finish that comes in a birthday cake shaped version of the Perfekt Lip Gel flower sample, and a Luna Bar that has sugar-free pieces of various pinata candies in it. You ladies can thank me when they actually adopt this idea.

Seriously, I go on vacation to the Central Coast of California every Labor Day weekend, so I hope I get some nice travel goodies for August's box.

tardy to this party but can i just say...i love you?

This is something I don't understand about BB... if they are actively promoting an item in the boxes, then they should really try a bit harder to make sure it actually stays in the shop, when there is interest for it. It kinda seems like they must keep small amounts of things or something, because things sell out rather often, and quickly.

I have it in my favorites and it's still there & still lets me click through to the page.... I wonder if they just took it out of the search results while it's out of stock?

Yay to all the birthday twins on here. I didn't know my birthday was so popular.

How long does it normally take for an order to process? I placed my subscription order on Friday & it still says "processing." Is that just what it says each month until it reaches packing stage?

I'd heard such great things about it but I didn't expect to like it as much as I do. It smells so good and it lathers up a lot. It reminds me of benefits new face wash. I started using it the the shower as well. You should try it!

 I got some black soap from Coastal Scents in a mystery box a few months ago........wow.  That stuff made such a mess anywhere I set it down lol.  Also, everyone in the family thought it was some sort of old meat.  "Mommy, why did you put meatloaf in the bathtub?!!?"  Yeah....lol.

Oh and also, I got the DDF Acne treatment in last months box and WOW.  That stuff is amazing!  I don't get a lot of pimples, but when I do they tend to be doozies.  I was getting one on the end of my nose yesterday so I put the DDF on it ONE TIME and it's gone!  I wish the full-size wasn't so darn expensive!

I believe it will say "processing" as long as you're subscribed. I don't recall it ever changing -- not even when it reaches packing/shipping time.

I came across this  http://www.birchbox.com/shop/featured/top-rated-1/sarabeth-s-legendary-spreadable-fruit

while browsing the BB shop tonight..... The video near the bottom says something about the test kitchen....  Sorry I tried to do a spoiler but couldn't get it to work. lol.

Although not sure how that would fit into one of their boxes....

Lucky you. I got the DDF Acne Face Wash stuff in one of my Birchboxes a while ago. It makes absolutely zero difference in the way my skin looks. I swear, it'll be a cold day when I find something "holy grail" for my face washing routine.

Have you tried shea terra black soap? I keep trying other various things to see how they work on my acne, but I still don't think anything works like black soap does. But I haven't tried any other brands...I use the rose hips liquid soap, but i am thinking about trying the bar version next, as it is cheaper.

As far as DDF goes, I got the brightening face wash a while back and I really liked that - it really did brighten things up, but I also got the acne treatment a couple of months ago and it is just okay. I was hoping it would work better for me!

I have both. The bar soap is very coarse; the texture reminds me of coffee grounds. The liquid soap is smooth better for the face than the bar soap which is better for the body. If you use the bar soap for the face lather it up well with the hands and apply the lather to the face.

I traded for the DDF last week and I've used it a couple times on some... pesky areas. DEFINITELY made a difference for me! The full size is stupid expensive but at least the sample size is very good. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

See the DDF Acne treatment isn't doing much for me either! At first it was good, but long-term I'm not impressed. I actually just started a new routine with a different brand that I'm LOOOOVING for my cystic acne!
