Alright y'all, this is going to sound derp-ish but anyway, how do I review the products in my box. So I just click on the links directly from my box page?

Box > womens box > click item > "write a review" > prompt to survey! you don't even have to write anything -- just the radio buttons and drop downs will get you your 10 points

 
yay! my box with the bp oil (haha - that makes me laugh when it's like that) came and it's not broken or leaky! i was worried after seeing everyone elses.  i agree that it wasn't packed well. my perfume and opi were in the pillow pack.

Yep! All you have to do is click the product and when it takes you to the product page, click "write a review" or whatever it says. That will take you to the "survey" type thing. If you didn't receive an item in your box, the review page will look different and you won't get points for reviewing it. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

hahaha. this Christmas I put a lot of gifts in Birchboxes that i saved up over the year. It kinda broke my heart to see them get thrown out in the Wrapping-Paper-Pile-Throw-Out-of-2013. I wanted to be like "no! i'll take back my boxes! i can use them again!" but then my status as crazy person in the family would be confirmed.
haha I love the BB boxes too... I used a lot of them for storing Christmas ornaments, etc.  But I have so many sitting around unused...I finally tossed a few in my recycle bin yesterday! :X I feel bad, but I have so much packing stuff and no room for any of it!

Are there rules or restrictions for posting in the swap thread? For some reason it is not letting me post a message in that thread (I did subscribe to the thread, but not sure if there is something else I need to do). I'm new to swapping, so any advice is appreciated! Thanks!

I know you have to have a certain number of posts, but you should have that. Maybe it was a computer glitch???

I have such a huge stash of assorted boxes -- popsugar, sephora, whatever -- that my neighbor mistook it for a stack that needed to go out for recycling. This was three months ago. It has only grown. I need to see if there's any room in the recycling bins this week and just purge that stash!
 
I saved all of my flower seeds this summer/fall in old BB's.  They were great for drying them and now for storing them!  I also have my smaller samples organized in them.  I love my boxes!  (They also make excellent dog food scoops when the puppy runs away with and hides the plastic one---not that anyone around here would do that!)

I had saved 30 birchboxes for my son's Lego birthday party. I was going to wrap them in primary colors and then put "dots" on the top. My son changed his mind about the Lego theme and my husband came at the boxes with the big old recycling bin..Seriously, my heart stopped...It's a lot of work to save that many boxes....

 
It's here!!! All safe and intact! The BP Oil was rattling around, but the cap was on tight and there was no leakage. OPI and Hello perfume were in the bubble pack. I'm so in love with this box! Making myself the Paris tea right now!

I can't remember the last time I bought a gift bag or anything, I just reuse the ones I get from other people. and it's not like a Birchbox is a flimsy thing, I have had a few rip at the corner but it's mostly pretty sturdy & therefore good for giving gifts!

I would have asked my mom to give me the pillow packs back, & I'm sure she would have just been like "yeah whatever" because she knows how I keep this stuff. But I didn't even think of it until a couple days later
We have a famous (or infamous) Christmas gift bag that has been making the rounds for about 6 years now. LOL.  It is so sturdy we can't bear to throw it away.

 
Can someone please explain this idiocy to me? I live in Ohio not too far from cincinnati and I'm not sure why it's been to cincinnati twice, warren pa twice, and now lansing michigan.

The tracking is totally off for a couple of people from what I've seen. My package (per tracking) said it was delivered on Tuesday, which is wasn't due to snow...it was delivered today, but if I look at my tracking it says it's 5 hours away from my house! Go figure... I wish you the best of luck with your package though!

 
My Birchbox was delivered much better than most people that received the BP Oil (or judging by the Instagram pictures that I've seen)...my BP Oil was leaking on my items, but at least it didn't break in the box! The only item it damaged was the Smashbox eyeshadow, everything else was either nail polish, sunscreen, or mascara. Yay for the little things!

I currently use the origins charcoal mask. I love it! Really gets my face smooth. I put it on for about 10 minutes and then shower and after using it, the dry skin on my face all rolls off. Kinda gross, but my skin feels awesome after using it.
Oooh, now I want to try that one! Thanks for the recommendation!

 
For those of you that got the Big Easy, I was able to do my whole face with it by using my fingertips. I have combo skin so for my drier areas, I mixed a teeny, tiny amount of hope in a jar with the sample and it spread really well.

This is the exact reason why I don't use them for gifts! It would make me so sad for someone to through they away! Which is crazy, since I have like over 30 of them at this point ... haha.

 
I signed up for a second account for the February US Weekly box so I could gift it to a friend.  She has a P.O. box so it was easier for her to just get it from me since we live so close.  I just got my box today, and it had been shipped via UPS MI from NY.  The shipping notification for the second box was has it coming from Newgistics from NJ.  Is this because it's a new subscription?  I'm just curious if they are shipping everything from the same warehouse, just using different shipping partners.  Both boxes are coming to the same address.
