ANYONE GET THE 1000 POINTS???

 

[flynt]

what was the sample? they usually give you 100pts... but they also usually catch it themselves pretty quickly. Hrm. Sometimes with things that are different colours, they'll justify it as being "different". I'd email them in case.

I noticed with the Coola sample I received that it's almost the exact same as one I received a couple months ago except this month it says matte finish. I'm betting that they would count that as being different enough to count similar to the color situation you mentioned. As long as I can still review it for points I'm good.

I got three of those boxes. I'm betting there is a golden ticket in one of them, because I am lucky enough to get THREE of the same dang boxes!! lol

yes, the matte is a different formulation - and counts as a different sample

oh man, i just bought a little purse size one from sephora for $25. dang it.

i've been to their flagship store in NoHo, and the sales assistant recommended layering Orange Sanguine with Vanille Insensée. They call it the "creamsicle" scent. It's sooooo good, I get compliments on it every time I wear them together.

How can the Beauty Protector spray not be in the favorites shop /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> bummed because I was gonna use some points to pick it up and a code would have made it even better!

I'm getting box 50. Excited for 4 out of the 5 samples:

Ruffian Nail Lacquer (of course)
Dr. Lipp Original Nipple Balm for Lips (heard good things about this, everyone needs some lip balm)
Davines This Is a Sea Salt Spray (lol what a weird name??? I have wavy hair, so looks like I should get around to organizing my samples and starting a trade list)
Mally Beauty Volumizing Mascara (it's my goal to never buy mascara again. I have so many samples, and as long as I don't open them I should be fine lol)
Malin + Goetz vitamin e face moisturizer (looks like it's fragrance free and doesn't have a ton of fragrant essential oils, so I might be able to actually use this!!)
So there's one product I'm really not interested in at all. Not too bad.

I felt the same way. That beauty protector spray is super awesome. Who picked these favorites I wonder???

It was the curly hair solutions curl keeper. I'll try emailing them to see what they say, but I might wait to see if I got a golden ticket this month!

Where can I find "the favorites shop"? I'm not seeing it anywhere on the website.

No Suki scrub either. I call bullshit on their favorites list!

  I got one of my boxes! ... the one I never received a shipping notif for (yet) and didn't load the weight until yesterday. I also received a coupon. it's 3YEAR30 for everything at http://birchbox.com/favorites, no expiration date on the card also, the mereadesso cream is actually the full travel size $28 for 12mL. but the full size is $120 for 50mL so that's actually more expensive ($28.80 for 12mL). the back has a latch so it's not a real foil and you can actually use it multiple times. despite not being super happy with the products, this is a pretty high value box (worth $40+)

Thanks for this! I'm already eyeing the Folle de Joie, Atelier, and Vasanti.

I love Orange Sanguine.

Either I'm on something or they sent me the wrong box. None of the contents match up with what I was supposed to get.

Why isn't the Beauty Blender in the customer favorites shop?

Thank you, thank you! I was searching for the link too.

Well, at least that means the Beauty Protector Spray will ship free this month. I don't know if I'll like the shampoo, but I definitely want the spray. I wish it was in the favorites list. :/
