I was wondering about the us weekly sub that was supposed to be a 12 week subscription... Has anyone started to recieve their magazines yet? All I've recieved are those annoying emails, but not actual magazine yet...

I've received two already

 
I'm really annoyed I can't get Birchbox to get them to send my 1st email to sign up for the US Weekly Subscription and I am a new customer. I sent than another email today, last week they told me it could take up to two weeks for them to send me the email just to sign up. To read many are already getting magazines is disheartening. I'm not sure why they can't send an email out to me right away. :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I'm re-emailing them to get a code, I went back to my original email and it said I could do that, I'm surprised they did not give me that option before. :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
Has anyone ordered a full size of the 100% pure coffee bean caffeine eye cream? I got it in the mail today and I've been trying to pump some out and it just won't come out at all. I ended up having to uncrew the lid and put a little on my finger to try it out (it smells amazing, btw).

 
I ordered it and it's lost in the postal service purgatory. I hope they find my box by tomorrow. If they do, I will let you know if I mine works.

Thanks! I really don't want to bug them about it because I can squeeze product out and I'd rather keep it and use it than deal with doing an exchange or something, but it's kind of annoying!

I got it on Saturday... I unscrewed the top and squeezed out the air... Then it pumped out just fine.
 
Only two products in the mass market box piqued my interest, so I will probably cherry pick at the drugstore instead, BUT if anyone received the box I'd love to hear what you guys think of the Nivea tinted balm and the Biore mask!

Actually, I was super psyched that Allure had 3 generous foil product samples in it this month, and rushed into the bathroom to put on the Biore....waited...waited...this isn't heating. Then I realize I have a sample of the Biore Charcoal Cleanser, not the self-heating mask, lol. For the record, the other Allure samples this month are Lancome Genifique and L'Oreal YouthCode Pore Vanisher. 

I would be so happy if Allure kept sending nice big foils of new products every month!

I ordered this for my mom and as someone else said, she had pump issues until she squeezed some of the air out. Now it works fine! Also, she really likes it. She said she would definitely order more. In the am, she has puffy/swollen eyes for several hours after getting up. This doesn't take it away completely, but it goes away much faster and she said she doesn't feel so much like she's always squinting in the am. I can tell she looks better and more awake too!

The Biore and the Nivea are the two reasons I bought the box! I loved the Biore, but I felt like my face was a little dryer than I thought it would be after. A little moisturizer and I was fine though. I received the shade sheer crimson for the Nivea and it's my current favorite lip balm! It has the perfect hint of color to it, and lasts a few hours before having to reapply. The only other product I've been pleasently surprised at is the Covergirl mascara. I use the 1st step as my first coat, then put on my smashbox mascara for the 2nd coat and it works really well together!

The sally hansen is ok. Gave away the Rimmel. Haven't used the John Frieda stuff or the covergirl shadow yet.

For the 15 bucks I got it for with my 20% off code, and free shipping since I bought some other things, it was worth it.

I tried the john Frieda it was just ok. After using the bp oil it's hard to be happy with anything else. I will use it when I run out of the bp. I went to cvs and exchanged the Sally Hansen for a pretty purple color so I'm excited to try the 3 in 1 formula
 
Heads up, just got an email for the BB plus items for March - a choice between Laqa and co nailpolish or a necklace.  The price is $20 again, you can choose one to reserve.  The necklace is actually something you assemble yourself.

Pics from email included.

Unless if those are the pens, LAQA nail polish generally sells for $11/bottle.... so $22 value for $20. yay *jazz hands* Alternatively, beauty.com has laqa polish on sale for $7.70 (http://www.beauty.com/laqa-and-co-nail-polish-squid-ink/qxp486117?catid=298359&N=0) The colours might be new/exclusive though :p /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
Has anyone received their replacement box for the shattered BP Oil? My mom is still waiting on hers & she's wondering if she should contact them. ETA: Never mind, she says the UPS guy just dropped off her replacement box. They sent her box #1 instead of #51

I received mine about a week ago, it was the identical box, still packed terribly...but in tact this time.

The Laqa & Co polishes are only $11 each on their website - granted, these colors aren't available on their site - but it's still not some grand amazing deal.  I mean, my boyfriend is getting a $50 tie in his march bb man.  And the whole price of that box is $20.  Why are they trying to squeeze us for $20 for a $22 add on?
