ya a balance would be nice!! it makes me mad. especially if it's continious bad boxes!! the past 4 or 5 boxes from them I've always had the least desirable ones. There's probably like a few boxes that don't include the mascara and of course i got stuck with it. I am thinking of closing this account and starting a new one because even when i changed my profile i haven't had anything awesome. Like even the welcome boxes are getting awesome things.....

But anyways mine was in town and then I guess USPS shipped it off a few hours away...so the suspense is killing me.

Anyone suggest any must have products under $30 from the BB shop? I want to use up my points!

Yeah, I don't know what system BB uses, but this sounds like total BS.  If it shipped, you know what day it shipped.  If it didn't, you stumble over your words and offer no information.  They should have either something that auto-enters tracking information for each customer (how else would it update on the website?  There's no way they don't have something like this.) and/or a ship manifest that details what went out, who it went to, and when.

That's what enrages me about BB.  They treat us like we're idiots and can't figure out that they're full of it.  JUST BE HONEST.  I understand if things are running behind, there was a hurricane FFS.  Why do they feel the need to constantly lie to us?  It's sh*t.

A super nice, sweet girl named Crystal "helped" me.  She said at first she couldn't see anything and then "looked at what kind of box (you) have". Ok.  Maybe she meant Men's v Women's but whatever.  "(long pause) Um....(more silence)....uh it looks like your box shipped very, very recently and your tracking number hasn't activated yet."  Now, bear in mind, I told her I've had a tracking number since a week ago Tuesday.   She said I should see my shipping email very, very soon.  Now, maybe its me, but when I worked in customer service back in the late to mid 90's, I could tell people when their check was cut and mailed no problem.  She did not even offer  to give me a date when the box was shipped, just that Hurricane Sandy has messed up shipping which, again, I can totally understand and sympathize with.  

Oh!  An email from Birchbox!  Oh, no wait- its just an email from Crystal thanking me for reaching out, hoping she answered all my questions (not really, but that's between us), and that I should see an email from them shortly.  With Thanksgiving next week, I am not expecting the box until December at this point.

Sorry to be a crab ass about this.

I love the Debra Lippmann nail polish "Let's Go Crazy"

The Balm mascara

Alima pure lip balms are nice,

Zoya nail polishes

 Eyeko eyeliner are awesome

I like my Jurlique Love balm (nice to have in the purse, and if your skin around your lips and under nose is really really dry - it helped me to heal faster!)

I like my Stila custom color blush

If you are a nail polish person - I thought the Beauty Fixation nail polish touch up was awesome.

My box appears to be stuck in someplace called "Urbancrest, Ohio." According to tracking, my local post office (in central NY!) "received info" 3 days ago. This is the first time I didn't get my box on the 16th. It always comes on the 16th. Boo.

BTW, I went searching for a thumb-twiddling emoticon (which I didn't find) and this site has some wild and twisted emoticons.

WTH is this??  ----> 

Seriously? What do *you* think it is?

And I am guessing more people would use the "ditto" one if it wasn't spelled "dito."

I second the earlier "LMAO".  haha

Never received a shipping email, and the tracking info listed on my account is still blank. I'll chock it up to the hurricane this time, but they've done this in the past without crazy weather to attribute delays. Though, at the very least I usually get the 'your box has shipped!' email at this point. My BB's are always late since I'm on the west coast.

Don't you need an arm to scratch your head? I mean the arm is attached to your hand so you can scratch it. Yeah I'm so bored that I'm analyzing smiley faces on mut lol

But I don't want to use it on the rest of my body so I just apply it to the parts with KP - which is just the back of my arms. My KP is a lot worse in the summer so this stuff allowed me to wear tank tops without feeling like the whole world was staring at the back of my arms. I can get away with not using it everyday in the winter though, so I'll usually switch between the SA lotion and whatever body lotion I have on hand.

Salicylic acid is the naturally occurring substance from which aspirin is derived, so if you're worried about safety because of substance, you should be okay! Basically, like aspirin, SA helps reduce inflamation and relieve pain which is why it helps with your skin. I don't know a lot about KP so I'm not going to advise you one way or another (especially since I'm not a doctor), but a lot of facial products also have SA so it's very safe and gentle to use and is supposed to help.

I can't recommend the model co mascara enough!! My eyelashes are crazy long today. After it dries you can easily build up the fibers more to get your lashes really long. I normally wear 2-3 mascaras at once but all I needed was this one today. If you are thinking about getting it you should.

 

[msdollfaced]

Nothing for me as of yet. I'm definitely giving BB a call
