If you are referring to the extra points I received it's because my box isn't even shipping until the 13th.  I'm probably not going to actually get it until the 20th

wait, wait, wait,waitaminute. why are people getting 100pts for shipping now and we get zippo for last month? Not really complaining just trying to understand the logic.



But then again it's Birchbox, there is no logic......

I have had a tracking number since last week, got the email from Birchbox 3 days ago and I still have no updates. I remember reading that myglam/ipsy shipped out in the middle of the month, but I got an email today that it shipped and it's already in my state! This is my first month with ipsy and I certainly wasn't expecting to get that before my Birchbox. WTH? My Birchbox didn't come until like the 24th last month either. So much for the shipping by the 10th thing they go with.

I should also add that last month mine shipped late because, and this is just my assumption but I'm pretty sure I'm right, one of the products I was supposed to receive (Boscia cleansing oil) was replaced at last minute with something else. I also think that might be why they aren't putting box photos up now. My box photo last month didn't represent the box accurately. I hope that isn't the case for those of us who seemingly don't have shipped boxes yet.

yeah, I've got no updates on mine either. Hopefully they update soon!

Those who are saying their account has been credited 100 pts for late shipping...what box number do you have?

I just received my Birchbox. I am canceling. 

Tea--not a beauty product

Luna Bar-not a beauty product
DDF Brightening Cleanser
Caudalie Radiance Serum
Lip perfection gel--I don't think enough lip gloss for ONE application is "deluxe sized"
Skin Transformer Face Foil packets--I kid you not the product inside is the size of a Tic-Tac





I'm emailing Gwyneth....she should not allow her good name to be sullied by Birchbox

Aw, it was about time Birch box sent me a Peanut Butter bar (allergic)... I accidentally peeked at my Transformation box when I thought I was logging into my other account. Good thing my boyfriend loovvvves peanut butter.

P.S. it is box # 23 per BB, but looks like 24 per Zadi's list:

• 
  BENTA BERRY G-1 Moisturizing Face Cream
  Ships Free
• 
  theBalm® cosmetics Mary-Lou Manizer
  Ships Free
• 
  Mox Botanicals Lip Butter
  Ships Free
• 
  Harvey Prince Hello - 50 ml
  Ships Free
• 
  LUNA Protein Chocolate Peanut Butter
  Ships Free
  
  Excited for everything but the Asphyxiation bar, obviously..but glad my boyfriend can benefit because I normally gobble these things up. I've been needing a new moisturizer to use at night so the G1 will go to good use. Plus, we just bought my boyfriend the male version, so we know it's good. I've been LUSTING after the Mary Lou-Manizer for a long time so I know I will use that! I love pomegranate and it's been a while since BB sent me a lip product (for a while it was overkill) so another goodie; and finally, Harvey Prince Ageless is my HG perfume, so I've been wanting to try Hello since they last sampled it. I've heard great things. Coupled with my meh-Goop box, this turned out to be a pretty good month after all. Still pissed about the Perfekt pill though. No response from BB yet, they must still be digging themselves out of the angry email mountain.
  

So I received my Transformation box! (described above). Birchbox says it's #23, while Zadi's list says 24. I love it!:


And here are two pictures of the Mary Lou-Manizer by itself. Adorable perfect-sized sample:




happy! sans Perfekt-gate.

Last month my box shipped on the 14th, and not only did I not get points, I didn't even get a reply to my email asking why it shipped so late.

I put it on here last night, but it might have not been seen by many because it was late...but, 

If anyone is wanting a goop box, I got an invitation link that I can send...I'm not going to sign up for another sub for BB.

I'm still just REALLY disappointed about my box.  I'd be over the moon over some of these other boxes.  But face vitamins, luna bar, perfume vial, the chintzy lip enhancer in my box does not get me excited.  I will use the Mary Lou-Manizer, but the rest will just get tossed out (I'll probably use the one-time use perfume, too but I have already gotten two of these months ago at the makeup counter so I'm not all WOO HOO over that one.)

But anyway, if someone wants the signup link to get a goop box, I have one.

That candle's really cute! I actually would have loved getting one... I'm curious about the scent.

Totally agree with this! Let's just open one ourselves - there are enough San Diegans on here! 

Let's do it! I have a degree in computer networking and LOTS of free time! It appears BB gets samples from companies for free, so why can't we? I also know someone who works at Philosophy, so we have an IN! LOL 
When I started getting Birchbox my husband was like why don't you start your own. He was serious. We used to run an online community and hosted events here in San Diego. People would come from Los Angeles for parties or we would drive up for photo shoots. It was a lot of fun and we met a lot of interesting people. I think he misses that.

I'm just confused as to why people are getting 100 points. I get that your box hasn't shipped, but I've had tracking for about 8 days now (finally got an email yesterday) and mine still hasn't updated. I just don't see how it's fair that boxes that won't be moving until Saturday get the points, when there's plenty of us who have been waiting already that won't get points. I mean, for all I know my box hasn't actually left anywhere. I'm just a bit confused about the reasonings there...?

I'm getting this box too. URHGK!! I'm not excited. 

 

[queenofperil]

Has anyone tried the Caudalie Vinoperfect Complexion Correcting Serum (damn, that's a long ass name) on a pimple, or on an area where one was and had started to fade? Did you like it?

Possibly this is their response to people being upset last month?

Box 29 for me.
