Man, I was hoping the LE box would be better. Normally LE means a great box. Like with the Glossybox Holiday LE... I love the heck out of my drugstore brands but I was hoping the LE would be some nice, high end stuff. Sorta disappointed it isn't.Oh well, looks like I'm gonna stick with Birchbox for awhile so there will be another one and maybe I'll have more points when that happens!

Quick question, whats with all these month anniversary codes? What months do you get them at? Just curious!

Birchbox *should* be emailing them to you when you've been with them for a certain amount of months.  The codes are the same for everyone, but they have to be activated on your account by Birchbox.  Sometimes there are glitches where you can use a former month's code (if you haven't before), and sometimes they forget to email you and/or only give you a very short amount of time to use your code.  So we're compiling a list for people to make sure everyone can use their code when they've gotten that specific # of months of boxes!

I've been with BB since June and just received an e-mail with a 9 month coupon. I know some people have gotten 3 and 6 month codes, but this is my first anniversary coupon I've received.

Also not interested in the drugstore box. I don't get many of my beauty products at the drugstore, and when I do, they aren't the ones I'm excited about. I like to get excited when I open my Birchbox, and it's hard to get excited at the CVS. Kinda bummed about this, because I absolutely LOVED the snow day box. It was adorable! Still thinking about those marshmallows.

How often does BB do LE boxes? Is it an every month thing, or...?


It's definitely not every month, but I'm not sure how often it is?

I'm relieved that this box isn't super exciting, cause I don't need to spend any more money and I used up all my points yesterday!! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Right?  I was sort of happy too.  My internal conversation with my husband about why I needed to spend money on an extra box wasn't going so well so having it be meh for me was a plus.  LOL.

I'm also going to skip this one. Consider me a marketing victim, but I rarely buy drugstore products anymore, unless it's a handful of brands that I know are amazing (Milani, Cetaphil, Burt's Bees etc).

 

[chelsealady]

Yep I passed too.  I had the points but nothing screamed at me. 

 

[jennm149]

Not for me, even though I could get it free.  I'd rather continue to hoard them.  With reviews for next month's boxes, I'll have about $110 between gift certs and points, which will buy some nice pretties.

Based on last year, I'd guess the next LE will be in April for Mother's Day.  But I suppose they could surprise us ...

I read a post a while back in this thread that someone rcv'd a code for their 25th month...I am holding out for that code.

The last Discovery Dash was January 9. We will probably have one soon!

Also, I just rcv'd my BB this morning. My account shows me getting Box 45 (half up, paula's choice, whish body butter, W3LL color stick & tea)...what I got was a completely different box. Anyone have that happen to them before?

I do not mind the box they sent me, but I already had a trade set up with some contents in my original box plus, I really wanted to try that W3LL color stick and the half up. I sent BB an email...guess we'll see what happens.

Hahahaha, I really need to try out my oil.  Didn't have time to blow dry this morning but I'm thinking Thursday might be the day.

i meant to blow dry but i was running late. my hair is still amaaaazing.

using the Yes To Carrots shampoo & conditioner wrecked my hair. now i'm using Trader Joe's tea tree shampoo, Head and Shoulders almond conditioner, and Bumble and Bumble Tonic spray on my hair line. Vast improvement. BUT my hair feels so nice and smells great! i'm in love.

So do you just rub in a small amount and comb through?

i poured a bit out, rubbed it between my hands, and then applied to my ends then combed through. Seriously, come touch my hair. Its nice. ...I know where my points are going to next!

Although didn't someone mention that this product is very similar in smell (and results??) to another, cheaper product? Can someone enlighten me?
