Birchbox August 2013

We need a thread specifically for these mystery packs. Woah.

Just got the mail and my order showed up today! Yay! Here's my mystery pick 2: Shu Uemura Moisture Velvet shampoo and Nourishing treatment and a Redken Shine Flash Glistening mist. Not sure if I'll use the glistening mist, but I can't wait to try the shampoo!

Ohh ohh you have to tell me how that shu umebra velvet shampoo! Kinda disappointed that they paired it with Redkin?? Should be Amika or Nick Chavez or whatever that is.

Have we had any luck deciding if order amounts are in way relevant to the "Mystery" Pick Two Packs sent with individual orders?? I'm wondering if maybe they have several different categorized bins with varying values of "Mystery" Sample Packs ..(i.e. orders totaled $35-$50 are chosen from one bin relevant to a certain worth, $50-$75, a separate one, and so on... Thoughts??

Ugh.  I get paid on the 29th.  My 16-month anniversary code expires tomorrow, on the 28th.  I wonder if they'll honor it if I call on Monday.  I'm lusting after the set of 4 Mini Sumita Eye Pencils.  The one I got in my Birchbox (in May, I think) stays on my waterline.  None of the other 5 brands I've tried will stay more than 1/2 an hour.

That's a pretty interesting idea...that isn't too far gone.  It makes sense!

I placed a small order and will post back with the mystery samples when mine gets here.

I feel so out of the awesome loop here with not jumping in for a mystery pack! LOL

Everything looks so fabulous!

My mystery pack was L'Oreal Mythic Oil 3ml

alessandro Hand!Spa age complex cream rich hand cream 30ml

Will use both, but would have loved to get the Benefit pack. I was buying the CEW boxes and some other stuff, used 15% coupon and 10 points, so total was $45.00

I'm new to Birchbox (July was my first month) and I need a little help navigating the site. I'm having trouble leaving reviews with my iPad. The review box is a pop up and I can't seem to scroll down to complete it. I don't have another device I can use to leave reviews and I really want to start earning those juicy points! Any ideas? Thanks!

Welcome to Makeuptalk! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I had a similar issue, so I called BBCS and one of their reps informed me that their system is not compatible with IPads, or IPhones so, more than likely you'll not be able to leave your reviews using either of those devices...on occasion, I was able to successfully submit a review from my IPhone, but those have been few and far between ;(

Someone here suggested using the Puffin browser app to do it and its worked great for me! HTH

I'm off to see if they have Puffin for Android. Having to wait to do the reviews on a PC or my laptop has been a pain in the rear.

I hope the mystery pack sample variations don't cause flaming hatred on Birchbox's Instagram and Facebook like box envy/general disappointment does every month. I want to have more faith in Birchbox subscribers, but I can totally see people getting in an uproar over this kind of thing, even if it is just the luck of the draw.

Sadly this was my mystery pack. A busted vasanti and a lil vial of loreal hair oil /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Omg I'd email them for sure about the vasanti. That is too good of stuff to ignore.

This stuff is amazing, put the rest in a bottle or something, saaaave the Vasanti! And email.

I was disappointed in my Mystery pack, I got a Befine Lip Exfolitaor and Pangea Organics Facial Cream. The Befine STINKS! Like nasty expired.... I actually got this on my other account back in October 2011 and had to throw it away last fall because it smelled just like this. The dupe sample isn't a biggie, that's just a possibility.. But to have it unusable? Totally disappointing. I also didn't receive my bobbypins in my order - no email with a separate shipment or that it's out of stock.. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I emailed BB about that and the gross Befine.

Me too!  I'm saving my points til Christmas for a big purchase, so no mystery packs for me!

 

[jannie135]

I've had BB for one year and I haven't spent my points on anything. I'm trying to figure out what I want to spend 600 points on... lol

THIS IS TOO HARD!!!!

 

[nikkimouse]

Here was my mystery pick 2 the spray bottle is very glittery Kelly Van Gogh hair color protecting and illuminating tonic. And that small envelope is Mr. Natty Franks Beard Elixir. That's right birch box a sent me stuff for my lady beard. Sigh. This really made me upset. Oh I wanted to add there was no info with the beard elixir either no ingredients just a small poorly stamped envlope with an un marked brown bottle of smelly oil in it I had to look it up to even see what it was.

Benefit Set-Finding Mr. Bright & Stila Eyeshadow Card Set-In the Light

um that is amazing, i would love to get finding mr bright!

How much did you spend in your order? Just curious if that makes any difference.

Choose
Mystery Pack Jouer Mineral Powder Blush

Cherry   Love everything in this order!  The Flower Bowl is a bit littler than I had imagined, but really cute and a nice size.  BB points rock!!  Helps feed my makeup addiction lol

BB was really good to me this time!!  Usually I get alright regular BB boxes with a few dudes.  I was hoping for some type of makeup item in my mystery pack and really scored this time.  Hope to see some more fun mystery pack reveals /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
