Try copying and pasting the tracking number into the USPS website.  Mine stopped on the UPS MI site and picked up where it left off on the USPS site when I copied and pasted.

Thanks for the tip! Sadly the USPS doesn't have any info on it yet, so it is still in the hands of those scoundrels! I will check with that method later today and hopefully it will at least be in my state!  Thank you again!

That's not supposed to happen either, it is supposed to be a scrub. I now when i use mine I'm scrubing my face the entire time. and I take my time washing my face too

At first when I used mine it was fairly scratchy and I thought the sugar might be too abrasive for my skin, because I was using it solely as a scrub too. But then I realized on the Suki website it says to wet your palms, and "massage between palms to activate foaming action."

So I started doing that, and when you rub it between your hands for several seconds before applying to your face, it really does foam up and become a cleanser rather than an abrasive scrub! I was surprised how well it dissolved. I found the same thing even when mine dried out a little, I added a little bit of water and spent 5 to 10 seconds rubbing it between my palms and it still foamed correctly.

Clicky truck! clicky truck! clicky truck! clicky truck! clicky truck! clicky truck! clicky truck! clicky truck! clicky truck! clicky truck!

My box has a weight of 0.5850 and should be here on Tuesday.  I wonder what it could be!  I've already received the Model Co lipstick (the palest nude shade last month) and I've received Juice Beauty moisturizer before.....wouldn't be mad a hair product or the foot wipes (seriously, Chicago has been a rainy, damp mess this year and walking around in flip flops when it is raining is not a tidy thing)......

Agreed!

I love Birchbox for their luxury brand samples.

I agree, I'm kind of surprised to see that in there.

Yeah really.... I realize that birchbox does have some "drug store" brand finds, like the Simple eye roller. But I've always appreciated that they were able to find cheaper brands that are *awesome* (another example, yesto). As cool as it was to see an eyeshadow quad in that box, I don't think coastal scents meets birchbox's calibre.

Woot! I think this is the box I'll be getting too, and I like the look of it. It's funny how they keep sending me full size products, which are a total bargain to be getting, and I'm usually lukewarm about it, because I'm so picky. But when something is right, it's awesome.

I feel the same way! I've received the full size Model Co, Mirenesse, LAQA and some other eyeliner and have only loved the Model Co.  The full size in this month's box though is on point!

That's a good box. The good items make up for the meh items.

You are totally right!

I would love to see a swatch, Im hoping I get that in one of my accounts.

I'll work on it getting one up tonight when I get home.  Crossing my fingers you get one too /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

My box twin! You got THAT item we wanted! I'm so happy for you...and for me because it is looking more likely that I will be getting it too. I hope I get the same color!!! Oh hurry up and get here BB!!!!

Yay, box twin! I'm so glad I got the desired item; it was funny, when I opened my box I was so not surprised that I got that variation, I just KNEW it was coming to me /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I'm hoping the same for you as well!! The color is gorgeous, I'll be putting up a swatch up tonight.  Here's hoping your BB gets there quick!!

Yup. Apparently the eyeliner retails for $21, if I'm not mistaken, BUT I don't know anything about its quality.
