Birchbox August 2013

[kawaiiwoofs]

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. 

I wanted that brush too! But I saw some on amazon and at Sally beauty supply for way cheaper than BB

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.

Well you can definitely purchase them for that price now!  The polish is in my cart for $10.

Have you tried Beauty Secrets from Sally Beauty Supply? I use Beauty Secrets pink with acetone and am intending to pick up a bottle of the non-acetone to try with crèmes. The pink with acetone works so well for me in taking off glitter that I never tried their straight up acetone either.

Thanks msbelle.  There is a Sally Beauty Supply nearby.  I will have to try it out.

We're trying to figure out if there might be a correlation between a high spend and a good mystery 2-pick...  would you mind sharing about how much your purchase was?  Thanks!!

Congradulations!  That's a pretty darn nice 2-pick!!

I just ordered a mystery pick 2.

And nothing else.

And I payed with points.

And I got free shipping.

I guess we're going to test this 'based on cost' theory, lol.

This is getting more and more difficult to NOT just jump in and get the mystery pack LOL...I adore mystery purchases!

If you don't want to make a $35 purchase to get them free you can just order them for $10.

I have made a deal with myself: next time an anniversary code comes up I can order enough for a pick two. But only then, if they're still doing them. I think I'm due for one pretty soon anyway.

How did you get free shipping? I might have to do this.

 

[Antidentite]

One of my orders was:

1- 3 month gift subscription

1 - Tibi bag (free with purchase)

1- Amika travel iron (free with code amikacustom)

2 - plus two mystery pack (one was free one i paid for)

Total came to $40 and I used $20 in points

  so my total out of pocket was $20 shipped

If anyone is thinking of gifting someone (or themselves) a subscription, this is a pretty good deal.

"BBSHOP"

Saw it in the promo thread https://www.makeuptalk.com/t/131515/birchbox-promo-codes#post_1992838

Couldnt resist placing an order after all these mystery pack posts.  My gift sub I got during the double points promo had a 20% off welcome code so I picked up the 100% Pure Coconut lotion (it's amazing!), Benefit Porefessional, Amika dry shampoo, free tibi bag and mystery pack for $52.  I also plan to pick up the Pixi and nail polish discovery dash deals on my main account so I can get another mystery pack lol.  Then I will be able to see if there's any difference between a $100 order (before discounts) and a $35 order.  I sort of think it's random but it's too hard to tell from all the posts, especially since we dont know most of the order totals.

HOLY CUSTOMER SERVICE BATMAN! Ok. So this probably belongs in the July thread but it seems abandoned. My first BB was supposed to arrive in July. I also ordered both CEW boxes & while others have theirs I still haven't even gotten a confirmation number. So, last night I checked my July BB tracking because it was overdue. It passed right thru where I live and has been going farther North every day. I e-mailed BB with the title "A very unhappy new customer" My issues were 1. No July BB 2. Even if it arrives at a later date I won't be able to try & review my samples for points. 3. Still no confirmation of both CEW box orders. 4. I'm getting close to being charged for the Aug BB for a total of $41 out for all 4 boxes with ZERO product to show for the money. I asked what they were going to do to make this right. I really have never complained to a company before & I'm new but I'm pretty sure you all can tell I'm not the grouchy complaining type. But dang the BB sitch was just awful! I got an email this morning from a very nice woman. She had me reconfirm my address and is sending me a new July box since mine appear to have gone AWOL, a response area to send her short reviews when my July box arrives so I can get my points, 100 BB points for the bad first impression AND the shipping & tracking info on my CEW boxes. Well done BirchBox. Well done.
