Birchbox June 2014 - Spoilers!

[kawaiisofoxy]

I got my husband an Art of Shaving starter kit when it was $10 for Black Friday.... It's still in his closet... unopened  :bringiton:

Hmmm... may have to tell him how EVERYONE ELSE'S husband/boyfriend/fiance has opened/loved theirs!  :blabla:

 

[trekkersangel]

My husband makes a note to tell me EVERY morning how amazing the art of shaving stuff is.  I also got him the $10 set for Black Friday/Christmas & it's lasted him quite a long time.  He's hinting he wants more of the after shave oil. . . in a BIG BIG BIG size.  That stuff is SO stinkin expensive.  Maybe for Father's Day.  I also occasionally get him men samples from Sephora/Nordstroms/etc. & he's also in love with the Men's Clinique exfoliator.  He's so funny.  He tells me now that he finally understands why I have all these samples strung all over my bathroom sink.  He says without the samples he would have never known how amazing some things can be.  I let him know that we here at Makeup Talk call those "HOLY GRAIL" items.  He thinks we're weird.   /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Just wanted to chime in my two cents about Art of Shaving.  My husband bought the big kit from them and he really likes the pre shave oil and still uses that to this date but he was meh on the shaving cream (it comes in this huge tub and the tub has big sides/divots so you don't get as much product.  If anyone is rich and wants to spoil a man in their life I have a $25 off the full size kit (least expensive one on their website is $115).  I think the $25 starter kits are a great value and really last a long time

He shaves with a safety razor and now swears by Jack Black beard lube.  He used to use the bager bristle brush, the shave cream disk and a ceramic cup to mix his shaving cream in but he loves the Jack Black.  I always get him little 100 point perks from Sephora of it for travel when available.

And to be on topic.  My BB has a non clicky truck.  Hopefully because they are preparing me a box of awesome!

 

[kawaiiwoofs]

@@lovepink YES. my boyfriend feels the same way! preshave oil is nice but as for actual shaving with the safety razor, all about the Jack Black.

I use the Jack Black Supreme Cream to shave my legs. No other shave cream/foam/gel/etc has ever come close to being as amazing as that stuff, and I swear the tiniest pinch (think dime sized) will do an entire leg w absolutely zero razor burn. I'll never use shaving stuff for women again. Nevar!

I think as of late april the number was 800,000 subscribers so the chances are very slim /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> plus for this giveaway you didn't have to be a subscriber to win.

whoops, you're right, i was mixing up BB and Ipsy, but 800,000 only makes my original statement stronger. I bet at least 1 MUT member will win!! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Has anyone actually gotten their Kate Spade necklace from the Facebook promo yet?

Still waiting. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> The CS rep said four weeks from the day you ordered (when I called a while back)... and in four days, it'll be a month but I haven't received tracking or any indication that it'll ship, so I wrote an email to them today.

Check out the May thread. I think some one mentioned today they got it but I can't remember if it was an add on or promo code

I do not have the time to go through, like, 800 pages, lol, but thank you =)

I emailed earlier today and the girl said the same thing, four weeks from the date you placed the order.  So in three days it's been a month.  

I just barely noticed on the BB Facebook page how HUGE it is, though.  I honestly probably wouldn't even wear it, as I usually don't even wear necklaces, and I haven't ever worn gold as I used to HATE gold with a passion, but I may give it a go. 

If I actually do receive it, and hate it, it'll make a nice gift though!

The person posted today so it's on the last page. Nobody posts there anymore unless it's about the current situation with the necklace lol

Oh, doh.  I thought you meant like go read through the 800 pages.  I was like... I would rather pull off my fingernails one by one?  Haha, thanks.  Heading there now. 

 

[elizabethrose]

I haven't gotten mine- I should look at the exact date I ordered :/

I know that this Friday is the deadline for the return of my paid Kate Spade necklace and another product I returned :/

 

[mandithomas89]

3 of my boxes are already on their way to me! And the fourth I had canceled and then decided to resub with the Kate Spade 100 point code. Funnily enough, one of the three is going to my mom's house. Since I'll be there in two weeks and then I won't be home for a month, I thought I'd send half the boxes there since after last month, I figured they wouldn't make it before I left!

 

[biancardi]

Re: the kate spade necklace promo - I called yesterday..blah blah blah...you will get it....the four weeks is approximate..blah blah blah  - I did get confirmation that if I cancel my sub I will STILL GET it.  I hope so.  And we are supposed to get a email on shipping as well.

 

[JC327]

Every dollar counts! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  I got irritated my free necklace has yet to show up, no ace gift, and had/have a bunch of full size order issues going on.  I only left my 3rd account open to ensure it doesn't mess up getting my necklace or something.  

Im still waiting on my necklace and ace gift.

My early ship box has been turned over to USPS, and I hope to get it tomorrow or Saturday.  Still no truck on my other account.

My husband is in agreement with the husbands/boyfriends/dads who find the pre-shave oil the best part of the AoS pack.  I'll have to get him some Jack Black shave cream to try next time there's one on Sephora.  He's using Philosophy Razor Sharp right now and is kind of "meh" on it.  He does like Clinique shaving cream, though.

 

[ScoutSays]

Well... my early ship box is still just sitting there, so who knows. Probably no early box for me after all! 

 

[jennm149]

Holy crap!!  Just put my package number into USPS and ...

Good grief, the shipping gods have apparently decided to make up to me in one month for all the "let's send this package through Kearny just once more, to make sure we've got it right."  Will post pics when I get home -- yay that mobile pictures are working again!

 

[katiecoll]
