[MIKAGlam]

I got the January box today and I am so in love with it! I am looking forward to the next months with them If this keeps up I'll never cancel!!

Welp I just made myself look like a giddy goat on Birchbox. Ladies, NEVER drink and write reviews! You will write reviews for the wrong things!

I thought I was writing the review for the deodarant wipes. Instead I wrote a review for nail polish haha

I guess the 200 points isn't working anymore. I tried to do it for my sister and it only gave her 100pts. boo!

When I tried it, I only got the 100 points as well. Sent a message to CS on the off chance that they would honor it anyway, and they did. The rep said it was a glitch and had since been fixed.

For those that have gifted multiple $10 gift cards to their main account- can you use more than one gift card in a transaction when you use it on your main account?  Or is it limited like the promo codes?

I used 3 10 dollar ones this morning on my order.

Best customer service ever. I'm glad they honored it. I think I'll just let it go, though. My sister was still happy with the extra 100 anyway. Haha, she's not as cray cray and obsessed as I am though.

I'm s impressed with the CS pallette! I have a few pallettes and that's enough for me, but part of me wants the full size! I really can't believe the quality and how gorgeous the colors are.

I recently did a review on the Revealed palette and compared it to Naked and Naked 2 and honestly in the photos of the swatches it's hard to tell the difference. They're very close in pigmentation and lasting power. I have all the Naked palettes but I got Revealed as a gift and I love it and use it just as much!

 

[MissJexie]

Here's the swatches:

first photo is Naked palette compared to Revealed. (Naked palette is swatched on top, Revealed is on the bottom)

This is Naked 2 swatched on top, Revealed on bottom:

One shade didn't have a dupe in the Revealed palette.

Overall though, there isn't a big enough difference to really tell when they're applied to the eye. I think UD's shadows are a bit softer and ever so slightly more pigmented but Revealed is definitely worth the price if you need a good stock of neutrals!

On the Victoria's Secret topic FYI, I always read through my spam before I delete it, sometimes actually relevant emails end up in there.  Well, if everything in there was true, I would have gotten $100 in gift cards available for me from VS. Of course, I also would have a million ways to enlarge my penis, and many, many single females around wanting casual sex...(Yes, I'm a heterosexual female) & don't even get me started on the Senior, Christian, or Black dating sites I get emails from...none of the above apply to me.

I get all of the above plus lots of e-mail about how to become a certified nursing assistant.

Just joining this convo.. Is the 100 point bonus still going on for new subs?

Random Question about Birchbox Points Does anyone actually get point expiration notification emails? I recently had about 250 points expire and had no notification! Birchbox was really nice and gave me them back since their notification system glitched, but even though they say I'm subscribed for expiration notifications I definitely didn't receive them /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Just curious if it was just me or a system wide issue. Thanks!

They don't send them anymore. I specifically asked why I wasn't getting the notices a few months ago, and I was told that they no longer send them out even though that's listed as an option. I've lost a ton of points because of this, and they would only do a one-time restoration.

That's straight up not fair. That stinks that you lost your points! Why would they have it as an option if they don't do it? Also I spoke with two different CS people and both of them told me it was a glitch. I basically asked for my points back the first time I called, but the second time I just wanted to see why I wasn't getting the emails and she gave them back to me without me expecting her to. The first time the woman even said to me that in her system it says I got the email notification and it must have gone to spam, but I check and clear out my spam a few times a month and would have known!

It was working late last night. If it is not valid anymore, it should show you when you hit apply.

Yes, I just did my *cough*fourth*cough* sub a couple minutes ago and got 100pts.

I can't believe it is February already!

Does anyone have a billing error on their account? There's absolutely no reason for there to be one on mine and now I'm concerned.

I did! So weird. My card doesn't expire until April. But I just re-entered the exact same information I had in there before and it went through.

@goldenmeans @allistra44 Mine did that too! I don't know what was up with that, but I hope it doesn't affect anything /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
