I have a question about anniversary codes... my two year was in January. Don't they usually email you a coupon code sometime after your (3, 6, 9, 12, 18) anniversary? Does anyone remember when? I am going to on a BB break after this month's box but will hold off doing so if a code is coming my way...

Yeah, that's along the lines of what I was thinking. It would've been great if they'd sent 1 nice sample and foils of the rest though, to really let you know if buying the whole kit would be worth it.

This is my 6th month and I haven't gotten any codes yet, but someone mentioned several pages back about a "3-month bonus" so I guess it does exist!
Just not sure exactly what it's all about..

if its the same color it *should* count as a dupe and you could email them and get 100 points. if it's a different color it won't count though. i just got box #9 in the mail today and mine had the pink to red polish.

Ahhhhh I was wondering what the 100% Pure Coffee Bean eye cream was like! I'm glad someone who is a worry wort and night owl like me likes it. I may have to check out the trade threads and see if anyone is still trying to get rid of it.
Just so you know, I traded for the foil packet, and it was full enough to last maybe a couple of weeks. I just cut a tiny triangle off one corner up top. You can't reseal it, but I just pushed up what I needed and left the bulk in the bottom. I had no issues using it this way. So, with this particular sample, trading for the foil packet isn't necessarily a bad deal.

Ok. Thanks for letting me know. I'll be patient. And then the mystery packs will be sold out again.

Btw the Beauty Protector oil smells AMAZING! I was kind of upset about it before, but really like it now. Depending on how it looks once I've straightened it, I might actually purchase the full size!

Just depends on how much hair you have/how thick it is. I have super fine hair, and I don't have a whole heck of a lot of it. The ends are also reasonably healthy, and oil just kind of weighs it down. If you have thicker hair it's kinda easier to work with. But I'd definitely start out with less and add more if you feel like you need more moisture. Hope that helps. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I know how it sucks when you get a craptastic sample but people need to calm down. Whenever I get crappy samples for a long period of time I e-mail them and they always try to help as much as they can to get my profile in a place that will get me the things I want.
I just think people expect way too much out of Birchbox. I LOVE the points system and will gladly pay $10 for a $5 credit and a box of samples shipped (for free) to me every month!
Yeah. I mean, I hated BB when I first tried them. But once I learned to work the points, and noticed the quality brands they send out, I changed my mind and resubbed. It is funny how you see so many videos on Youtube comparing BB with Ipsy. Ipsy almost always wins. But with the points and better brands, I'm starting to think BB is better for me. Although, to be honest, chocolate would've been welcomed with openarms er, uh, mouths. Hehe!

It really does smell amazing. Something about it is even better than the spray & protect. But even weirder, I HATED the smell of the shampoo and conditioner.

Ipsy, in my opinion, is better if you want makeup, cheaper brands, full size products. But I personally gravitate towards birchbox always because I just *fit* in their demographic. I want higher end, I want skin care, hell I even like seeing their lifestyle stuff.

I've had Ipsy since August, and I swore I would never get BB because of all the awful comments they get on Facebook. But I went ahead and decided to try it anyway and I already know I like it better /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> The best thing is that when I try a sample and wind up really liking it I will be able to use points to purchase it. This way I try new stuff and find HGs!

It's more luxurious I think. Something about rubbing the sweet smelling oil in your palms and distributing it in your hair is just more luxurious. Plus it leaves your hands soft after.

That's such a good way to describe it. I don't even plan on straightening my hair tomorrow but I kind of want to rub some oil in it now bahahha.

And I think I've changed in that. At first, I wanted all makeup and as many full sizes as I could get. But now that I see myself not using those samples/full sizes months later, I'm kind of changing my mind. Heck, I end up trading more stuff from Ipsy than BB because, even if I get something I want, it is often the wrong color. Looks like that's happening this month with the blush and tini shadow. Of course, for $10 I got a Zoya polish, which is nice as I swore off doing business with them thanks to them cancelling orders without warning. So it is hard for me to break up with Ipsy, but I appreciate BB more. Funny you mentioned lifestyle stuff. I'm probably the only one who goes "Yippee!" when I see tea in my box, lol.

Oh crap...I just had a thought when I was looking at those pictures of the full size Fakeups that were posted...have they been sending out different colors? I'm very fair, anything labeled "Medium" looks like I got into a self tanning accident. PLEASE Birchbox, go ahead and take the initiative to send everyone samples that match their skin tones!!

The picture of the sample I posted a few pages back was definitely "light" but I have no clue if they've been sending out any other colors besides that one.

Blah. I actually bough Fake Up when it first came out, then I decided it wasn't worth my money or something & returned it. But maybe using a sample up will change my mind.

Does anyone who has had a sub for months still not have an update showing their box? And no shipping? I have a regular sub I've gotten for 8 months minus September. So I didn't unsub/resub and the sub is not new. I don't think I've ever had to wait on box pages to update after the 10th on a regular sub like this. Frustrating. Is anyone else in the same boat?

Here is the box on my main. I am pretty satisfied with my products this month. Hair oil is my favorite product ever so I'm happy to try the Beauty Protector. I'm glad I got the ElevenSkin Eye Cream because I already have a Benefit sample that I bought in the face care sampler pack. Its just ok and I am looking forward to compare this brand. I love Juicy and I am excited to try Malibu this month.
