Well birchbox got a very angry email from me. There is not reason to say my box shipped last monday when it really didn't and still hasn't..

Got my Box # 3. It should definitely be nominated for the worst birchbox box ever. 




No a single decent size product.



This naked princess gloss sample is equivalent to that flower sample. The amount of actual gloss in the sample is 1/4 the size of the case - 0.008 oz. Most of the case is the brush.  I do not have giant hands btw lol.



Another look.

wow i'm really looking forward to this box... :|| I've tried calling them twice today and both times I ended up at the VM so let's so how angry I have to be.

LoL I know what you mean!!!! I work at Godiva... overpriced chocolate. You should hear people complain about our prices. I have to smile and put up with it, when I just wanna say, "SORRY BUT I DON'T CARE! I'M NOT MAKING YOU BUY IT! IF IT'S SO MUCH CHEAPER TO MAKE IT YOURSELF I'M NOT GOING TO STOP YOU!!!!!!"

I hate retail /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

i work at payless and we now have shoes designed by Christian Siriano and the short boots are $60

i cant tell you how many times i hear $60 payless isnt pay-less anymore.. and i try to explain who the designer is and ahe has $3,000 dresses so $60 boots is super cheap and its in one ear and out the other

i bought a pair of Danskos which are $120 they were a mary jane style with patent leather the color looked like an oil slick (mostly dark blue with pinks greens and black swirled in it) and the first day i wore them the strap broke...... i exhanged for the same shoes thinking it was a random defect and it happened again in an hour

then i exchanged for their regular clog style with a patent green snake skin print and within 2 days of wear the leather peeled off the toes

i emailed the company they sent me a $20 gift certificate so i got a nother pair this time the plain black kind thats supposed to be sturdier ive had them a year but i dont wear them alot and they have sooooo many scuffs cracks and the inside of the right shoe under the toe cap has bent all jagged like and rubs my toe raw even with socks

never have any of my payless shoes done that for 10x less cost!!!

more expensive doesnt always mean better!!!

especially the customers that you try to talk to to tell them about your sale or try to compliment them and they pretend as if you are not another human being... people treat you like you are beneath them!!

Birchbox is driving me crazy!  Ok, so the lip gloss pill thing was a very small size, and they were all "ohh let's send this to people and they'll love it and come to our online store and buy it since the small size is clearly only big enough to use once."  Ok, so that's a great idea and all, but then maybe, just maybe, they should actually have the color they sent it out in available to buy! 

I actually really like it and in the color they sent (still hate the size though) and I have points but the color isn't in stock!  And they sent me my 9 month code that for some reason you can only use for 5 FREAKIN DAYS and now it's probably expired and I can't purchase what I want anyway.

WTF BB!!

I just cancelled also. Where they asked what should they do to make it better, I told them give your customers what you advertise and stop changing rules to your benefit.

Yay,my box(#12) finally arrived today!  I wanted to update my list but it wont let me so I was going to post another list of trades but its locked,so where do we post now?

 

[kawaiimeows]

picture of what i believe is box #1 that i found on instagram, wtf at the naked princess sample??

edit: i take that back about the naked princess sample, the owner of the photo commented on it saying it's a small tube so i guess there's just a lot of extra packaging.



i'm also not in to the essie shade.

 

[prachisrk]

I got the naked princess sample - it is only a one use sample.

HAHAHAHAHAHA at least they don't advertise themselves as "4-5 deluxe samples" anymore /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />. I got the below samples, plus a fiber bar, some tea packets, the DDF cleanser:



The cleanser is 4 oz, but I'm reallly hesitant to try it because the only other DDF product I tried (from Sample Society) gave me the worst allergic reaction I've had in years. There aren't any ingredients listed, so I'll have to look that up somewhere.

I'm actually not too bummed by the box, but only because I like tea /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />. the couple tea packets are literally the only thing I'm excited about.

Here's hoping.  :

 

[petitamour]

Woo! Glad to see I'm not the only one who cancelled. Switched to Myglam!

My box included;

Two foil packets, that count as TWO SEPERATE SAMPLES, (liqud silk and the perfect wave). The lip butter which I was okay with although for delux it should be bigger, but I'll use it. (Mox botanicals). I also got the Mary loumanizer and holy is it tiny! I didn't expect it to be so tiny.

Oh and tea.

yeah.

I cancelled. 

 

[prachisrk]

The more I think about my box, the more annoyed I get. There is not a single decent thing in it and whoever distributes their stuff needs to rethink their strategy. 

 

[prachisrk]

Yeah its teeny tiny - 0.008oz
