I'm getting the Stila luminizer whenever my box ships plus I can throw in a masquelogy (sp) sample.  My box hasn't shipped yet nor is the tracking working /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I'm enjoying the Caldrea hand soap samples I received. I was able to get 7 or 8 uses out of one pod, the Vanilla Quince flavor, and it's very pleasing. I'll try the Neroli pod next. Hand soap samples might sound lame, but I've been enjoying mine quite a lot /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Still waiting for my second BB to arrive...

Really loving the mascara! Finally got my box today and tried out the mascara within 10 min lol. I'm set on mascara for awhile... got the balm one last month (Ispy), and have added a second Ipsy this month in hopes of getting the benefit mascara because I had been wanting to try it out.. figured I would probably end up with at least one mascara that way but ended up with mascara in BOTH and then 5 days later I randomly received a 3rd Ipsy bag (that I did not order) and that had the mascara in it as well! Mascara is one of my favorite things though so I'm thrilled.

Great idea! Every now and then, I'll come by something like it but I keep putting off buying it. Maybe Sneakpeeq still has the shop with the little spray bottles...

I think these are sold in CVS or walmart. I'm sure you could find something similar on ebay or amazon too http://www.travalo.com/

My local CVS has Travalos. They are the old style ones where the bottom is clear. So cute, but I won 3 via the Travalo Facebook page, so I didn't buy any.

I don think they're lame. I didn't get the handsoap samples a few months ago when Birchbox sent them out, so I e-mailed Caldrea (do not mention Birchbox) and they sent me 5 different scents of handsoap and a packet of stain remover. Now I just have to decide which one I like best so I can buy it.

I called Birchbox because my OLO serum was open and leaked out all into the bag.  I wanted a replacement and the customer service rep told me the reason they put the sample in bags was so if they leaked out into it we could still use the product.  I guess I kind of understand where they are coming from but it was super messy and part of the reason I get Birchbox in the first place is the presentation.  I like getting a nicely packaged little box with cute little samples that aren't open and spewing out product. 

Pardon me if this sounds rude, but ... Still use the product? WTF do they want you to do? They think it's possible to pour it back into the container? Or just leave it in the little bag and stick your finger in the product and then smear it where you want it to go? How are you supposed to store a little bag full of scented oil? Come on. They can't be serious. Did they not know the product is prone to leaking? Wait. They put it in a bag, which means they not only knew, but they expected it to leak. Bad Birchbox. Bad Bad Bad. (In my best scolding the dog who knocked over the plant voice)

Haha, you should do a "birchbox shame" like there's a such thing as dog shame.  I find dog shame to be hilarious but I feel for the owner at the same time.

looking to trade my Stila liquid luminizer for the ModelCo FIBRE mascara, please pm me, thanks!

Still waiting on my box, suppose to be here tomorrow. But we'll see first I have to find my mailbox key. I haven't even looked to see what I am getting and hopefully won't be as disappointed this month. If it is another disappointing month, I am done with BB.

The mascara I got just got sent out to its new owner today. Hopefully she'll get more use out of it than I will. Though, that attached mirror was pretty cool. I literally have four mini mascaras in one of my drawers, and two of them are completely unopened so far. I don't go through products quickly. Tried the hair powder today. It certainly smells nice, but I'll have to give it another couple of tries to see if it does anything of value.

I have no tracking updates as well! I emailed BB and she said it JUST shipped, I think that means they forgot about me and literally shipped it after  answering my email (I live in NY, it usually takes 1-2 days to get to me)... just sayin'

 

[soccerkidtlk]

For those of you whose tracking never updated even after Birchbox said it "shipped" may be going through what happened to my box last month. BIRCHBOX FORGOT TO GIVE THE MI MY TRACKING NUMBER therefore it never got into the system so you can't see any updates. My box just appeared one day since I had no way of knowing where it was. Birchbox was not apologetic about this at all I might add!

Has anyone bought the Dr Jart+ Water Fuse Beauty Balm? How did you like it? I was contemplating buying it. If you could let me know if you're fair skinned or are oily in the T-zone, that would be my type of skin.

I love it. I'm not fair, and it's a little light on me. I highly recommend it. It smooths things out! I mix it with my LMT from Jouer because it's too light, but I really like the finish that it gives.

I've still have not received any 20% coupon and I purchased a one-year back in May.    

I get BB's other emails announcing my box, the Bauble & Birchbox offer coupon code, but no 20% off coupons...either the 3 or the 6 month.  Nothing in my spam either.

I've left a couple of VM, one email and phoned half a dozen times.  The BB CS has yet to pick up nor respond.  Really not good behavior when holiday shopping is on the way.  They need to increase staff for the holidays...

There's money on the table, where are you guys?!!?!?!!?!?!!!

Really very very very unhappy Birchbox....  You forgot our anniversary.

Ahhhh... I love the rose perfume, do you have a trade list?

I never got a shipping email but box 1 is coming to me with a weight of.6200. I'm still debating whether or not to refuse it when it arrives.
