Here is a work around until they get it fixed:

Add something to your cart, then click "checkout". It will let you log in from there.

Miss Trix, You are soooo smart! I'll try that. And thanks Nikkimouse for confirming that at least some people are able to get in. Strange that Miss Trix and I are both having the same issue though.


I don't deserve any credit. I found it in a comment on Birchbox's fb wall. We are definitely not the only 2 people having issues!

Looks like it will be a good month, good luck to everyone in winning the $100.

So excited after seeing the sneak peek video!

Spoiler

I love Amika and Davines. All hair products over here please! My hair is naturally curly but I often straighten it too, so I would love the blow out spray or really any of it. Dry shampoo is great for days I straighten and don't wash for 2 or 3 days. I know it's crazy but I've never tried anything from "yes to". I love the natural stuff from "juice beauty". I'm super happy I have 2 BBs to double my chances on great boxes. Oh and the $100 for the BB shop....I could def use that!!! More excited than I've been in a while. Happy anniversary BB!!!

 I was all like "oooh, Jouer lippies!" and then I realized it was a shop item.  Womp womp.  Oh well, a lot of the items look good, and I know I'm getting 2 Ruffian polishes (I'm getting 2 boxes this month, then I'll cancel one, I SWEAR, lol).  Hoping for some great items, now that I've doubled my chances!

So much stuff I would love to get, I love when that happens! Although here's hoping I don't get another lip product - I'm just not a lip person! No spoiler bc everyone knows we're getting it anyway at this point but I think the Ruffian is the only thing I'm not excited about, I don't really care much for the colors and my chances of getting the one I'd be interested in aren't very high. I mean yay for a nail polish, but they don't blow me away color wise.

I'd love live to get the green.

 

[jkfinl]

No more red lipstick please. No foundation , no lotion, no grapefruit stuff. Yes to hairspray, nail polish, 100$.

 

[meaganola]

My every-month wishes: No hairspray over here unless it's spray-in conditioner. I love red lipstick, but I should stop collecting them until I use what I have more than a few times each (I know they're not sending it, but I felt like tossing it in). No foundation/cc cream/concealer/etc. because they have yet to be able to send out anything that my pasty-cool self can wear. Specifically for this month, I didn't really see *anything* (other than the polish, which is a given) in that preview I liked aside from the packaging of the Elizabeth Arden lipsticks. Not the lipsticks themselves. Just the tubes. And those aren't going out anyway.

I got excited until i realized that most of what i want to try are shop items, not sneak peeks. But hopefully there will be lots of fun items that didn't make it into the video in this month's boxes! I'm ok with bb/cc cream since I'm still looking for THE ONE but i think those will be shop items, not box items.

7 days away till our pages upload! I am am excited for this month's products! Happy 3 years Birchbox!!

So I need some advice... I am moving from Japan back to Amercia YAY, and need ideas how to get all my beauty products back, advice for plane travel and advice for my items that will be in my packout going to America , all my stuff will be in storage for 2 months, And I guess any ideas cause with 9 beauty sub I have a lot......Not sure if any one has done a move like this and can help with advice on my stuff not getting ruined in transit.....

 

[Sashatiara]

I also moved back from Japan last year. I brought my daily skincare and make up in my suitcase and sent the rest in my express pack out. The products were fine.

Okay so, kinda bummed about the They're Real, since I JUST ordered it through BB and literally got the shipping email this morning, but that just means that since I KNOW I won't get it, at least I'll already have it. And if by some crazy twist of fate BB decides to actually give me something I have marked as being interested in, I'd have a travel size. I'm also kinda worried about the lipsticks cuz  there seems to be a lot and I don't wear lipstick at all, but I got one last month, and I'm sure I'll get one again seeing how that's the only thing I DON'T have marked that I wear. lol sigh, I'm just waiting. The rest seems cool, secretly hoping that somehow stars will align and I'll get an awesome couple of boxes since it IS my birthday month.

 

[Moonittude]

That's hilarious! 

LMBO @ "penis heritage" I also have trouble understanding them sometimes. This month I am excited for all of the hair products. I changed my profile in the hopes of scoring some, but I realize it is probably too late.

Why Heritage? why not origin stories? ugh. Heritage is a pretty loaded word.

Also, after seeing the super cute / actually informative and not fake enthusiasm Julep video on their cleansing oil, I'm really tired of the fake upbeatness of the BB girls. And I haven't even gotten to the part about the products yet

Katia and Hayley met at Harvard Business School before creating Birchbox.  Not quite the place where I'd expect to find upbeat, makeup pushers, hahaha.

Yeah my initial reaction was "ICK. NO" too. Meh... at least I can just scroll down and get the list of products instead of suffering through the whole thing.

Anyone else think that SNL should do a parody of birchbox videos?  That would be hilarious.

I was more excited about the new shop items, too. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

OMG yessss. They are a parody themselves sometimes, haha.

I've got my fingers crossed for that $100 Credit! I'd buy the Juliette Has a Gun Not a Perfume that I can't justify spending $80 on! Plus the Gorjana necklace. I have a feeling those will go fast!

Oh my god I would DIE! The girls they have in the cast now would be GREAT for this. I have this mental picture of how this would go down and it's cracking me up!

Posting here because BB's Customer Service response time is 3 days and I can't call at the moment, so maybe someone here might know... I placed an order this morning after they announced the Gorjana necklace GWP ($50+). I used the promo code and I got the green banner saying it was added, but... it's nowhere to be found in my invoice.  In the past, I thought the GWP was listed on there? Or at least the use of the promo code.  I'm concerned because I only placed the order to receive the necklace (I even ordered the hoop earrings to match).  Just wondering if any of you have any insight.  Thanks!

Edit: Never mind!  I am reading the fine print on the email itself, for future reference (for anyone else that may end up confused like me), it says:  "Please note that the necklace will not appear in your shopping cart, but you will receive it in the shipment of the product(s) you ordered. One gift per order; offer cannot be combined with any other discounts or promotions. Offer available while supplies last. In order to return any other item in your order, you must also return the Gorjana Aurora Large Necklace."
