So jealous of all you girls at these fun events tonight! I can't wait to hear the goodies you score and if you buy any fun Ann Taylor things.

Just left the DC event...crazy in there! How did I not see either of you!!! Was expecting (read: hoping) for FS makeup items, all juice beauty products in the box! And no idea how to upload pics on mobile!!!

 

[mariahk83]

And as evidence I'm on mobile it posted that a million times! Oops, sorry girls

I was at the DC event too and left already. Just me, or did that seem really unorganized? At the end of the day I'm happy because I got some new Juice Beauty goodies, but I didn't hear any announcements or whatever. My friend and I ended up leaving before the makeup touch ups started. We felt so bad for those two poor waiters! The one with champagne was getting rushed so much!

Guys - I'm in Ann Taylor and completely forgot my coupon from this month's box. Is it already valid? And if it is, what's the code? TIA!!! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Was at the NYC event just at 6.  There were a LOT of people there already.  There were lines for everything--the food/drink, the beauty touch-up line, and the Juice Beauty box line.  The box line was actually the fastest so I got on that line, chatted with the Bows and Sequins blogger, got my box and left.  I actually buy a lot of stuff from Ann Taylor, but this atmosphere was not conducive to browsing and shopping.  

Here's a pic of the goodies that came in the box.

 

CC cream
Green apple peel
Cleansing milk
Hydrating mist

Wow. Just got back from the NYC event. Very frustrated. I got there just fourteen minutes after 6 and they were already out. Shopping was impossible. I managed to snag a glass of sparkling wine from a very snarky waiter. Another one wouldn't give me any of the chocolate he was carrying. Terrible, terrible experience. I'm very irritated that I spent five dollars in subway rides to go. 

I realize that the BB were free. I get it. I know they said limited supply. But they should have closed off the RSVP way earlier if they were going to be gone in just 14 minutes.

Despite the chaos, I'm glad I got to meet some MUT ladies! Unfortunately I just missed out on the last cute scarf. But at least I was able to snag a box! Haven't opened it yet but I will after I get home!!! By the time the makeup artist came, most of the people already left but I was too tired to stay in the short line. Idk if I'd go to another..probably would but I'd get there earlier to finish my shopping ahead of time.

I decided to wear the Stila lipstick today and my husband got home, looked at me and said "whoa that's some red lipstick." Uh, thanks. I thought I looked pretty. : ( I think he is just not a fan of bright makeup. Oh well, I will just save it for shopping trips or girls days.

I think you rock it really well! If it makes you feel pretty, I think you should wear it.

I have the same box. Are they usually all the same?

I'm trying the green apple peel, makes my face burn a little when I first apply it...i don't think i like that feeling.

I went to the Miami event tonight. It was a bit unorganized. The only snacks I seen were fruit platters. I was a bit a bit miffed at first because after 6pm I asked an employee about when we could line up for a birch box, and was told it was only with full priced purchase. I told her the email said nothing about buying anything to get a box, but was shot down. Luckily before I left I asked another employee, and was told that they got confused at first, but the birchbox was in fact free, and you did not have to make a purchase. So I was able to snag one.

How does everyone find these Birchbox events?

 

[Momsgotmail]

I know, they are so lucky!  I wish  lived near a big city!  My nearest is 1 hour away...Syracuse.  Not exactly a fashion and beauty hub!

 

[Lolo22]

Wow the Minneapolis event will probably have extra birchboxes lol. Got there at 6:10 and there was no line and only about 20 people in the store.

thank you! I can always count on my MUT girls to cheer me up!

I was at the Boston event.  The boxes were only for people who made an ann taylor purchase - the first 150 people I think.  I wasn't thrilled with the clothes and then it got crazy busy so I left.  I felt like it was pretty nutty and basically a sh*t-show (sorry about the language).  I was kind of disappointed.  I had brought a work friend too and felt badly that it was so awful.
