I got that too!  I ordered some stuff this morning (the Malin + Goetz offer got me)- shower gel, some body lotion, and a Tigi dry shampoo, and of course a mystery sample pack.  I just checked my tracking and saw that I got the insurance.  Hmmmm......you'll have to let us know what is in the mystery sample pack when you get it!!!

Ordering today to take advantage of the Mystery Pick 2 Packs.  Purchasing it instead getting stuff that adds up to $35.00 so I can get the Pick 2 free.  Since when does BBSHOP for free shipping not stack with the anniversary code?  I got the nail polish because it qualifies for free shipping.  I'm seriously ticked that the Sumita 4-pack of mini eyeliners is a Suits Pick, but it's not in the July Boxes so it doesn't get free shipping.

I am so close to buying something to get one of the mystery plus two packs but there is nothing I need! Between Ipsy, the loreal testing panel, Birchbox and a few Sephora visits I have way too much stuff!!!! I have unopened lipsticks, lip glosses, nail polishes, face creams... I guess I should just save points up until I see something I have to have.

This month feels like a such long month like May. I'm anxious to find out about spoilers to keep me occupied to gossip around LOL

So my 2nd BB store order shipped and I got the confirmation email this morning (though it hasn't updated tracking on USPS yet). Where does it say if it is insured? Is it on the shipping email from BB or on the USPS tracking page?

USPS tracking page.  Seems like they are insuring them all now.

Thanks! My first order that I got a couple days ago didn't have anything about insurance on the USPS page so I wasn't sure where to look for it /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I haven't had huge orders though (both were $46ish before my discounts/points though)

When are the box urls usually up? I can't wait to see what boxes they have this month and narrow down to the ones I think I might get!

Just got my 2nd BB order this week! I purchased a "romantic kiss" mirenesse and a small tube of "Amika nourishing mask". My mystery pack contained 2 packets of "Jouer luminizing moisture tint" and a 1 fl oz. bottle of "Kelly Van Gogh Wonderlust". I haven't tried either of these sample products. Yay!

I have wanted to ask this question for a while now, but I keep forgetting: would someone be kind enough to explain to me how trading your samples works on this website? I have several dozen that I'm "hoarding". I'd rather send them on their way to someone that could benefit from them. Thanks!!

Hi, MissRoe!

Here's a link to get you started, it'll take you to the Subscription Box Swaps section of the Buy/Sell/Trade forum, and it's a great place to learn the ins and outs of how trading works.

https://www.makeuptalk.com/f/23798/subscription-box-swaps

Also, if you're thinking about trading items from upcoming boxes (like the Aug Birchbox), we've recently started doing swap threads just for items from one box!  Just keep an eye on this thread, and Zadidoll (or another staff member) will post the link to the swap thread once it's created.  If you have any questions after reading the how-to's and rules, feel free to send a message to myself or any mod, and we'll be happy to help you!

Have fun!

Here's another mystery pick two. I ordered this and the $5 teasing brush. Not the best I've seen, but at least it's not juicy perfume!

So get this....I got a message from Birchbox on my YouTube channel today. I hope I can talk about this....I'm not putting any info to check me out....just curious! Anywho, it was a message from their social media girl telling me how much they loved my November Unboxing video. She then proceeded to tell me that they'd like to use it in their 3rd Anniversary video to be aired on their YouTube channel and to run in Times Square. I guess they did this last year. Some sort of video mash up or something. I'm new to all this stuff and thought that it was kinda cool but I'm a bit leary. I mean, it IS Birchbox but there's a waiver. What do you guys think? Anyone do this last year? Oh, and oddly enough, I do rave about Birchbox but it was right after Sandy and they left out a sample and I slammed them on it?! Lol.

I wouldn't worry about the last part, they've featured videos on their website before where the reviewers weren't totally in love with all the products, but were happy overall.
