A bit off topic but I wanted to share that during the order placement to get mystery pack frenzy I got me the beauty blender and OH MY WORD! I am a believer!

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

thank you !! I just placed am order for a mystery pack. used up the $10 in points on the third account that I had ended, so I don't have those just sitting there anymore. even if they just send me two foil packets at least I didn't waste the points!

Dang...shouldn't have waited. The link doesn't work anymore. 

 I guess I'll have to wait and be patient.

I figured that was going to happen once people started placing orders.

I have a couple questions for savvy BB purchasers.

How often do anniversary codes roll in after your first year? Are these stackable (16, 21 months, etc)?

I'm trying figure out the best time to splurge for either a Clarisonic or a subscription (and maybe even grab the Amika mini-iron as well).

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.

 good luck!

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.

That's great, so far I have nothing but positive things  to say about their customer service.

You guys are killing me with the mystery packs. I'm so close to ordering. I need 4 points to have $30 though... so I have been holding off until the next box.

Jumping in on this experiment too since I just canceled my account and had 106 points left, plus I've been dying to get a mystery pack after seeing all these variations so I took that as a sign to go ahead and order one

THat looks like the clear face moisturizer I got a while back!  If so, it's pretty nice but veeeery light, so great for summer.

Clear Face Moisturizer..I was really excited until I checked and saw that the full size retails for only $11.50 in the BB shop, but, if I love it, then that's actually a good thing lol
