Birchbox September 2013

[Sashatiara]

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!

When I used promo codes in the past they did not appear on the invoice but I still received the item.

Thanks.  I wish they would be a little more consistent with their practices.  I have had a gift with purchase listed in the invoice before, in the Discounts line, so not seeing it there this time had me a little concerned.

my thoughts:

I was excited about the nail polish, but I'm trying to get rid of this damned periungual wart (gross, I know) and can't do my nails until my dermatologist gets rid of them. Wish me luck that it only takes a few more treatments and that my nail does not get messed up waaaaah

But I'll give it a try once I'm better.

The only hair product I want is the dry shampoo. Love them. Sea salt sprays are so unnecessary for me. I already have textured, wavy hair -- adding salt to my hair will just f it up. And I like my waves, so I have no need for a blowout product. And I'm not a big fan of hair spray in general, especially since I have wavy hair and only wash my hair twice a week. I don't need to add too much product to my hair. Maybe I can trade if I don't get the dry shampoo!

Not interested in the moisturizer. I have sensitive skin and it has fragrance, fragrant essential oils/extracts, and witch hazel. No thank you. I don't need my face to turn redder than a baboon's ass.

Oh well!

this sneak peak is great! awesome variety of stuff that is newish to BB.

I liked the sneak peek, but had to remind myself that I didn't get any of the items that were featured in August's sneak peak except for the discount card for Anne Taylor. I'm not crazy about the Theme "heritage" either. It doesn't sound like a word I would use when describing beauty products.

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.

Those were actually "new to the shop" items, not sneak peeks. They have changed up the format of their sneak peek videos. They are new to shop stuff, new promos, and then the box spoilers. Jouer lipsticks are new to the shop, as well as the Juice beauty, elizabeth arden and benefit they're real.

CC Cream and Benefit's They're Real Mascara are two "please don't put these in my Birchbox" items. That mascara runs like crazy on me, and I hate getting samples of things like cc cream because they never match my skin. Can they just send me a box of all the hair products instead? I'll gladly take the salt spray and the dry shampoo.
My thoughts.

My thoughts. Just so everybody knows, Benefit They're Real is a "new to shop" preview, it was not included in the box spoilers. The jumping back and forth in the video is a little awkward, but it was right before the last group of spoilers.

I would be totally happy with an all hair care box. Especially if it had a golden ticket. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[barbyechick]

i just realized, the only problem with the 100 golden tickets is that I know the chance of getting it is so minuscule I haven't even considered the thought that I'd actually get one 

I really hope at least one person on this forum gets one though!

like i said earlier, there's a higher chance of getting struck by lightning than getting one of those 1000 point cards, lol

 

[OpheliaDiFranco]

wow i think this month's box looks AMAZING!   There is SOOOOO much I want!  This is the best box since the women's health box!!!

 

[Kristine Walker]

 Humph, the stuff I was most excited about are new in shop items, had my hopes up for an Elizabeth Arden lipstick in my box

 

[PeridotCricket]

I have a feeling there's a crap ton of stuff like all the lip sticks from August Twistbands from ages ago that are going to show up in the September boxes. I wouldn't mind a Model Co lip stick, but I do not need a Twistband in my Birchbox again. On the theme of Heritage ... how old is the Ruffian fashion label anyway? The first thing that comes to mind for me when I see "Ruffian" is the racehorse. I know the brand is older, I think, but I sort of follow horse racing and when Barbaro broke his leg during the Preakness in 2006, people at first were saying "It's like Ruffian all over again," and then there's the movie.

I never get anything they feature in the sneak peek videos so I honestly still have no clue what to expect, lol.

Every box will have a bottle of the Ruffian nail polish in it.  So you at least have that to look forward to!  

 

[Xiang]

I hope they are still sending out the top and base coat they sent out last month. I'm out of top coat and my current base coat seems to be reacting badly to my recent polishes and I'm at a lost as to why. (it's causing a bunch of little air bubbles to rise from the polish) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Sorry if this has already been posted, but the colors of the Ruffian that they are sending out, are they only going to be the ones that we voted on?
