They weren't showing up for me either, and now I just went back to check and they are... hmm

Caved, bought the dang box. lol

I really only wanted the bag and the bobby pins, but since the box ended up being 28, it made no sense to buy the two items, when the box is only a few dollars more.  Also snagged a mystery pick 2 pack, and the juice beauty oil free moisturizer.  Was going to wait a couple weeks, but noticed they have a promo for 50 extra points til the end of August if you buy any Juice product.

I love the points system so much. Just bought the Suki cleanser, It's a 10 leave in product, & 2 mystery packs for $12.65. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

  I'm on a no-buy until Christmas (exception Black Friday/Cyber Monday) so I'm glad this LE box didn't appeal to me.

Caved and bought the box for a younger sister of a BB subscriber for her birthday.  It works quite well for a nice box for someone that is definitely not wearing makeup out of the house.  Plus this will ease some of the younger sister envy.

OMG, this is so crazy.  I realize that I have the wrong zip code so I call BB customer service.  Guess what?  The box is picked and has been processed and is at the shippers.  In less than an hour?  So I guess BB CS lies like crazy or they have seriously upgraded their shipping process.  So now I have to call AmEx, tell them I am refusing the charge for late delivery and find something else as a gift.  Bummer.

Anyone else not excited about this limited edition box? After seeing the picture...nail polish and the colors are not great and a journal and some hair pins....oh well maybe next one

Me, I am not really that into nail art so to speak, so the nail glitter stuff totally not for me, I have super thin hair so I would never use the clips, the journal would end up being scribbled on by my toddler, and the bag would be the only thing I use. If there were more makeup, or heck even quality skin care products I would have gone for it. $28 for more color club, a pencil case and a notebook, not cutting it for me. JMO

I decided against it as well... I'm drowning in nail polish lately, I already have a million makeup bags & lipglosses, a journal would go unused, and I'm not buying it for some shiny nail jewels and some bobby pins!  However, the mystery Pick Two's are back in stock, so I was able to get one with a cart I already had ready to go!

I wanted a mystery pack so bad and JUST placed an order last night and now they're back in stock!????!?!?!!?

<----me right now!

Yay, I hope you like Fling if you get it! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I wasn't super excited about the LE box today. If it was only 20 dollars... maybe. But... meh. Nothing in there I really need right now.

Harvey Prince enabler alert! I just caved and ordered Flirt and Ageless. I looked at the other perfumes to see if there were others that sounded good to me. There were three--Coupling, Yogini, and Hello (though de Creme intrigues me as well). On a whim, I tried the code TRYHELLO to see if I could order it too, and it worked! So if Hello sounds good to anyone else (I love citrus! and thanks to Ipsy I now have Michael Todd skincare with a citrus scent) you can grab it too for free with $6.50 shipping. I did not try to make up codes for Coupling or Yogini. Frankly, I'm afraid to do so for fear it would work and I'd want them too, lol!

How cool!! I hope one of us receives a "special note"

Don't you find that interesting how BB and Julep are kinda copying each other's ideas lately?? That's what Julep does to include a surprise in their boxes.

Ruffian Hedge Fund from Birchbox's Instagram. It looks far more beautiful on than it does in the bottle photo IMO.

I need this!

I'm just hoping they are actually sending a 5 ml bottle to us, and haven't figured out some novel new way to send a one-time use manicure!  (haha, I can only imagine a foil packet of nail polish with a tiny brush stuck into it!  Oh, the horror!)

LOL!! I am sure they are working on it as we speak!

Congrats!

i'm about to get the notebook in the limited edition birchbox directly from poppin.com. it's only $6 and the code "bts" gives me free shipping /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
