I'm going to start hijacking my friends boxes as well as keeping all of mine. They are perfect for organizing my art supplies for school. I'm always carrying little BB boxes into class with me.

The Joan Vass L’eau de Opale smelled like Michael Kors. XD And ironically, it was in its own pillow pack but it leaked anyway. Thankfully the pillow pack was the only thing affected. 


This was my box too, but it was 0.3800lbs. And my perfume leaked as well. But I was fine with it because the smell was definitely not for me. The half up was a flop on my thick layered hair. It was more like a quarter-up, and my layers wouldn't stay in it. A disappointing birchbox doesn't bother me as much as a disappointing ipsy bag, though, because bb makes up for it in points! Love their points system. 

 
The boxes are the perfect size to stack inside the rectangular fabric makeup train cases for organizing. I have this one from the now-defunct Beautyfix (but these bags are available everywhere) and it holds two boxes, with lids, and has just enough room around the sides for thin foils. I cut up the cardboard Birchbox mailer and assembled dividers to keep eyeshadows, brushes, and foundations from sliding around.

The Birchboxes are so useful. Very hard to get rid of them!

 
My apartment doesn't have a pantry so I have one of those big free-standing three shelf wire racks.  Works great for storing boxes and cans but smaller items like sauces and spice tend to slip through the cracks.  Repurposed Birchboxes have saved the day.  An extra plus is that if there's an oil leak, I know I have a new box coming next month to replace it.

Mine went to Oakland, then Berkeley, then back to Oakland. I live in Richmond, so it's not even in the right county, LOL. This doesn't normally happen, I don't know what is up with USPS this month!

Ugh! My box has been sitting in North Carolina for 3 days now. Estimated delivery was 2 days ago. I want my box of goodies! I think today is the day it's going to move north to my direction. Wishful thinking. . . .

Mine's been sitting in Cincinnati for 3 days! Which is only about 30 min. from my house. We did get hit with a bunch of snow last night, but that doesn't explain why it wasn't on my doorstep yesterday afternoon like I was expecting :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

So my box said it was delivered 3 days ago! 3!!! Should I contact the post office and find out if it was lost?


Absolutely. You have more patience than I do, I would've already gone to my post office 2 days ago and asked about it, if I were you!
 
My husband had a usps issue once, so now we have the direct number to the supervisor of carriers. You can get it by calling the 800 number. Obviously, we saved it, because our mail carriers play all the tricks when not delivering our mail.in fact, I got to call my carrier thi morning, which will hopefully finally get my packages delivered.

 
I ordered a welcome box with the chuao bar promo for valentines day. This is the box I received:
400
Very pleased that it came with the dry conditioner I wanted another one, and I feel like I'm the last person to try the Dr. Lipp, glad I got to try it finally. Tea is meh already tried these but I drink tea at work usually so it'll get consumed. This is also my third Hello perfume this month and I've tried it in previous boxes. No biggie I like the scent. The best part is the INIKA eyeliner in green lagoon, reminds me of my starlooks fancy eyeliner but without the glitter! It'll be perfect for the St. Pat's day parade and party next month! Oh and I haven't tried this chuao flavor yet. Nicely done Birchbox!

 
slightly off topic, but the potato chip chuao is on sale for $4 at target right now. i finally caved and bought one. omg - love it. it would be better if it was dark chocolate (i am a chocolate snob, i can admit this), but i do really enjoy it in milk chocolate.

I love that one too!  I ordered it from BB around Christmas time.

Turns out, my box was delivered while I was at work today! Even though the tracking still shows it in Cincinnati. Confusing.. But I was pumped to see it in the mailbox when I got home! I'm going to be trying out my new shampoo here shortly. It smells delish!
