in other great news, my balm jovi palette from hautelook should be here on monday!  hope it arrives in good shape since i know others have had problems.

come on september!

I ordered the Mary Lou Manizer from Hautelook and it arrived in perfect condition.

I totally feel like I just won the Birchbox game. I placed 3 orders (2 on my account, one on my husband's defunct BB Man account). I got the free Gloss Moderne shampoo on all three orders. I spent a total of 400 points (300 of mine, 100 of my husbands). My grand total worth of merchandise came to $200 -- I paid $28. I love points, I love promos! I have $102 worth of Gloss Moderne shampoo coming my way for FREE, not to mention tons of samples!

oh man so this is such a great idea. so when they say $50 purchase, they really mean $50 WITH the $34 shampoo already on there. I did some cart tetris and got:



I'm still on the fence since I'm on a low-buy this month (and have bought enough enough), but I do actually need the pencil sharpener... T.T I'd just buy it at Target without the $44 of extra things then.

It's too bad my state has tax or else I'd use 100 points and grab something for $10. But the tax makes it weird. I haven't been too impressed with the mystery pick two's but I mean, for $6.........

eta: what the hell I went ahead with it.

PS the tibi bag doesn't work with this promo, I tried it and it shows up but it's not taking the extra $28 off :

Hahaha not that I know of lol, the rapper is Soulja Boy btw. I don't know why I thought I should keep that a secret /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> He used to be so big on twitter lol, this was Summer of 2009 /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

hahaha, that's cool though!  i have vivid memories of doing the crank that dance with my friends.  lawd have mercy.

Riiight?! Youuuuuuuu crank that! That song still gets played on heavy rotation by every party ever, we were at Kylie Jenner''s sweet 16 last weekend and they played every one of his popular songs looololol I was like really? Throwbackkkkk He kind of on a producer kick now, and produces for some great people, but his rap career has fizzled. He is a computer nerd at heart though, which is why he and my boyfriend get along so well.

THIS IS SO SMART. I'm gonna follow suit and order the same exact things...I am on a low/almost no buy this month and haven't bought anything. I do need shampoo and a sharpener though... This is perfect. 

 I also need 12 points to bring my points to a perfectly round number so I'm going to make another $6 purchase.

one more tip for anyone getting a second sub for september! 



$10 + a free you pick two plus shampoo. this is even better than the yearly gift XD

Thanks for figuring out this deal combo! I cancelled Birchbox after my July box, but now I'm thinking about signing back up for the September box...

Why not /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> my second BB account is only occassionally active. Next month you're guaranteed a $10 nail polish, so it's worth it. Plus, with this deal you're essentially paying for one $34 shampoo, 6 mystery samples, and one $10 nail polish for $4 (you get 10 points for the purchase and 50 points for future samples). LOL someone needs to take away my credit card!!

You might be able to add the Tibi bag too... check it out

I tried, it really doesn't work. I had more than $65 of stuff in the cart even without the Tibi bag. It showed it as taking it off for the discount, but it only took off $44 still. If anyone could prove me wrong, I'd be delighted though

Lameee, I didn't try it, I just know last month I did a similar deal except with the free Amika Iron instead of the shampoo and maybe 2 plus 2 packs instead of the one free one and it gave me the free tibi also. 

Edit:  I'm a dummy, didn't read five posts ahead where you already said that you tried the Tibi and it didn't work!   

Edit again:  I was able to get the Tibi bag in if my cart for free if total was $22 and I added the Tibi bag to the cart before the Gloss Moderne

Cart looks like - 1 subscription ($10),

                       1 miss jessie's comb ($6),

                       1 pixi sharpener ($6)

                       1 Pick two sample pack (free),

                       1 Tibi bag (free)

                       1 Gloss moderne (free)

                       total $22 shipped

 

[casualconcern]

Noob question - is there an option to gift a sub for less than 3 months? That's the smallest length of time I see for a gift box sub.

Thanks for this tip. I was considering re-subscribing to my 2nd sub again because of the nail polish next month and this deal was too good to pass up.

Ahaahahha, yeah it's fun, i'm sure everybody says this, but they are just normal people with exciting lives /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Kylie is super into makeup, so we have a lot of fun talking about different products. She was the one who finally got me to order the Lorac Pro palette, its what she uses every day!

 

[Jeaniney]

Too good to pass up!  I wanted to try the tea anyway, so the extra stuff is so cool.  Thanks for the heads up!

Does the "welcome box" count as the first "month" of the gift subscription? And does the person you are gifting to have to wait on the wait list?

 

[kawaiimeows]

holy cow, this might be the best deal i've ever gotten WITHOUT points. plus it's pretty convenient because i was wanting some more face towelettes anyway. and i got my points back to an even number SCORE. (the ocd in me is relieved).

yes the welcome box is the first of however many months you purchased. also there shouldn't be a wait list for the giftee, they just get them starting with the month you selected.
