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.

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!!!!

I just went through this!  I wanted too much and had to keep deleting things out of my cart lol.

Happy points shopping to you /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

WHAT?!

That's terrible! I think you should definitely email them. I think that's just plain ridiculous and horrid. ::hug::

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

Thanks so much for getting back to me!

Sorry there is no spoiler alert. whenever I try to post a photo under a spoiler it never shows. It seems everyone is getting something different anyway so I don't even know if a spoiler alert is needed but just wanted to apologize in case someone did not want to see

That's an amazing mystery pack!

I've been tempted to buy one of those ModelCo lipstick trios but I was searching for a dark lipstick to wear to the Black Sabbath concert I'm going to tonight and realised that I have so many lipsticks already in very similar shades.. I found 3 grape coloured lipsticks that are exact dupes and they're from different brands (MAC, Topshop, and UD) and now I'm trying to decide which one to wear just based on which one smells best LOL. I actually dropped a lipstick when I was rooting through my collection and couldn't even remember when I'd even bought it, much less if I'd ever actually worn it!

I feel the same way I just want to keep placing orders lol, smart move BB.

That's a nice one, let me know how the oil is I never tied a dry oil either and I love anything from Kerastase.

So, this is kind of off topic, but I thought maybe someone out there can help me. I LOVE the smell of Kerastase Elixir Ultime...and that general hair salon smell. Does anyone know of a perfume fragrance that smells similar? 

Thank you very much for any 

I love that scent too!

 

[Superfish19]

Me too!  I'm saving my points til Christmas for a big purchase, so no mystery packs for me! [/qu] Same here it will be a bday present.

I barely keep up with these threads now that I do not get BB, so I can't recall which month it was that people received the Instain blushes. I discovered tonight a neat little trick with them I know I have a wee bit of an issue with them blending nicely. I used the ELF small stippling brush to apply Lace to my cheeks tonight and wow did it turn out amazing.



Just thought I'd share my helpful tip.

Wow you look great!

Here's what BB sent me as my Mystery Gift duo.  My first thoughts when I opened my box, because this was sitting on top, was I didn't order this.  Then it occurred to me this was my mystery pack.  So shocked it a great way!!

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

 I would really love that mystery pack!

Oh no! you should email them they will probably send you something or give you points maybe both.

Holy moly mystery pack!! Full size le métier! I died a little bit from joy this morning. My total order was $109 but paid $15 with points codes and freebie tibi pouch which is the perfect iPad case size.

That's great! so many good mystery packs.

i LOVE etoile. i wonder if this means they'll be sending it out this month! the shades are always neutrals which i love and the diamond dust is wonderfully subtle for people who like a little sparkle but hate dealing with removing glitter.

Nice sleuthing! I'm irritated though, because I placed a large order on Friday and used all my points and I was specifically looking for that brush. I tried searching for it by name and nothing came up. And now there it is.

you know what this means right? you'll just have to place another order and get a mystery sample pack while you're at it

I read the fine print. It said August not in July. But I get where you're saying because we're on BB August forum. I just copied/pasted this fine print: Note: This offer is only valid between Tuesday, August 6, 5 a.m. ET and Wednesday, August 7, 5 a.m I'm glad that you brought this up so I could put my money aside for that etoile.
