Kansas City right here and we don't get anything either. We luck out with H&M since the next closest one is in... St. Louis (?), so we get a lot of the special collections that they run. But that's it. Nothing else. No one does stuff out here and I'm fairly certain it's because we're in the midwest. Basically, it usually seems like if you're not on the coasts or Chicago, you're kind of SOL for anything cool.

I'm near St. Louis and haven't heard of them doing any events here.  I would definitely go!  I feel your pain, fellow Midwester /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I'm getting box 53!

https://www.birchbox.com/shop/birchbox-1/august-2013/august-2013-bb53

I'm excited for everything except the tan towels.  Uggh, those are of no use to me. Now I won't see my box for over a week since I am leaving for vacation tomorrow morning.  It's funny, I was kinda hoping for the feet wipes since I'm going to the beach.  Oh, well.  

dang. i would've loved that box. i don't know why they don't ever give me curly girl samples when i have curly hair marked off. i always end up getting my miss jessie's stuff at cvs anyway.

I know what you mean... NOT cool (any companies out there here me?)

Oh and I loooove H&M, but somehow I thought the closest one was the one in Chicago! I'll definitely visit Kansas City one of these days!!!!!!!

 I wish companies would remember that Birmingham AL fricking exists!!  Atlanta, Orlando and Miami get events from various companies, but never Birmingham.


YES. THIS!!!

Yeah! There's one on the Plaza in KCMO and there's one going into the Oak Park Mall in Overland Park, KS. Both sides (as in Kansas and Missouri) are trying really hard to make KC and the surrounding areas a destination in the midwest. It's a far cry from being a tourist destination, but I'll give them props for trying as hard as they are.

That's an awesome box! Pretty much my ideal box, I wouldn't use that item either but the rest of it looks amazing. Wish I was getting that :/ Makeup is the only item I have marked as "couldn't get enough of" and I don't get any color cosmetics, only a BB cream sample :/

Yep...never anything in Ohio either, lol.

I love Kansas City! My husband and I go up there a few times a year. I live in Arkansas. We get NOTHING in the way of events like these. Most people think there's just nothing here. I was even once asked if we rose horses everywhere. Uh...NO! So yeah, I feel you!

I think there needs to be a mid-west support group. Milwaukee is a great place but it isn't a high profile city. Many Chicago peeps have weekend places here for a get away from the city.

I love being in Chicago!  It would be nice to get out of the city every once in a while.. but the lack of cars makes that difficult.  I moved here from TN and I like the city much much more!

Another birmigham girl?!! Yippe! I just moved to the area and was seriously hoping a bb event would happen here.

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!

I'm outside of Pittsburgh...no big events near me either. Super sad face.

I have curly hair and I've never used miss jessie's stuff so I'm excited about them.

Hey, at least KC (or KC area) is getting an Ikea.

I'm in St Louis and we are still waiting for one of those!

hahahaha I'm about to win it all and say I live in Caldwell, Idaho. Talk about having NOTHING! Lol

Iowa here! I would agree with this. The only place there is ever anything in the Midwest seems to be Chicago and that's 3.5 hours to drive... no thanks.

PSA TO THE LADIES WHO ARE WAITING ON THEIR ANNIVERSARY GIFT OR ARE ABOUT TO REACH 13 MONTHS:

I just got an email that says "We're actually working on a new gift for our anniversary recipients, so while I know you will receive something it may be delayed a month or so."
