Birchbox June 2014 - Spoilers!

[Laurenv78]

I had the 8 item  box last month with the candle...I'm due for wipes, perfume and tea for sure this month.

Yay fellow AZer <3 We should have a meet up! Each time I get a makeup shipment, I am praying *please don't let anything melt* 

We should!! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Me too. I got my first (and last for the next few months at least) box from Treatsie today and I was just hoping it was in the apartment office instead of the metal mailbox haha.

I got a purple LAQA last month and I am really hoping for another in my second box but then I feel guilty for all the ladies that haven't even gotten ONE yet when it's SOOO gorgeous and I'm lucky to have gotten it.  Watch me end up with nothing but haircare this month for greedily dreaming haha

This is very random and OT but can anyone tell me about the summer swap thing I have been reading about? I tried to search the site for something about it but had no luck. Thanks in advance! =]

I keep going back and forth on reopening my normal old account to try and get the Laqa. I guess I should look through box variations and see how good my odds are.

i noticed in the review section on birchbox.com, most of the profiles that sampled the laqa say "adventurous" or "trendy" with fair to light complexions.  Do you have any of those features checked off in your profile?

I have a LAQA lip lube to put for trade still -- mostly I'm holding off because I'd love to see if I can get one of the polishes traded for it, but also because I'm so damn busy right now I haven't updated my trades in months.

AGHH BIRCHBOX.

Here is a play-by-play of my most recent bang my head against the wall issue:

1. I place an order.

2. I receive no tracking information about the order, so I email CS and request info about the order status. I suggest that perhaps something has been backordered and maybe that's why I haven't gotten tracking yet.

3. I get a reply with a tracking number. My question asking if any of my items are backordered is ignored, so I assume everything is a-okay.

4. 13 days after I place my order, I get the actual tracking email. This email shows that my pick two shipped, but the big item in my order did not.

5. I email them asking what is going on and they explain that the item is actually out of stock, even though it still appears in stock on the site, allowing others to make the same mistake of ordering. They assure me that they are refunding my points and giving me 100 sorry points for my trouble.

6. Today: I go into my account to find that they shorted me 450 points!!  :angry:   :angry:   :angry:

Birchbox, GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER. Please. Don't turn me into a hater. I am so sick of emailing CS about this one order.

I feel you. At first, it was all fun and like "It's worth it to wait longer since I'm getting free points" but now it's like I'd like to get just one order without needing to contact CS. I feel like they're going to have me marked down as a "difficult customer", but each time I've waited at least a week past the ship date to start bugging them about orders. And I'm not paying for a full size 118ml of product and then being okay with a 12ml bottle or paying for the Caudalie Favorites set and being okay with one product being missing. Every time I have to be annoying and email them, it's their own fault. /rant

Did you ever get your Clarisonic??? I hope they figure out your order asap!!

Wow good find! I have fair complexion marked but only "classic" style. I kept it like that for a while just because it got me boxes I liked like a year ago. But I think I might need to change it to adventurous and trendy.

 

[natashaia]

I can't believe it is June already. My fave boxes have always been summer ones. Fingers crosses that it continues! I'm moving to Asia for a year in November, so I am going to miss my monthly bb surprise!

I hope I don't get the They're Real Mascara! I just tested it for Loreal and I like the Voluminous we tested better since it does not clump. I was loving it(Had a mini They're Real I had just thrown out) until I did the comparison. I was planning on buying it despite all the unused tubes of mascara I own. Now I have to open a different version of voluminous from my stash next!

They're Real is awesome just a pain to remove and sometimes there are little clump balls but overall it is awesome. 

Agreed. The They're Real clumped like crazy on me. I ended up giving it to a friend.

I would love to try this product!  http://www.birchbox.com/shop/featured/new/perlier-cream-bath  Hopefully they will send me a sample--honey bath products are a huge weakness of mine!

 

[rachelshine]

@@KayEss, at this point, I vote you call their CS line. I know some people loathe talking to people on the phone, but they've screwed the pooch hard on this one and you'd get answers/points/TO THE POINT much faster talking to a human vs via email. So sorry dear /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Ooh I really want that now! I loved their body cream they sent out last month. I didn't get it any boxes, but I got 3 in a trade and I'm totally fine with hoarding it.

 

[button6004]

I really wanted the shawl but it was a bit more than I would want to pay for it this month. Whomp whomp.

 

[kawaiimeows]

I think I need to be a responsible adult and skip this month since I need to order save the dates next week...ugh.

But I think I will reward myself with a full size Laqa lip lube from the BB shop once I get everything ordered and mailed out and my fiance's mom is finally over the trauma of our guest list not being exactly what she wanted. I think BB is going to be making a lot of money off of stress shopping from me in the future...

I had those checked off too and I got four pixi colors but not one laqa. I'm still looking for a purple one.
