Birchbox September 2013

I really wanted the etoile and I still kick myself for not getting it /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> oh well

I've noticed from following them on Facebook that sometimes they have promos on their site and others, if that helps!

Haha I was actually being kind of sarcastic about moisturizing your imaginary hair and how the BB lady is full of shit. But damn, you are way more motivated than I am!

oh i didn't know you were being sarcastic. yeah, i'm big on moisturizing my hair and all of that good stuff. i just don't need any hairspray. i hope that my box gets lost in transit and they have to replace it with a completely different but more useful box with a $100 gift card. #wishfulthinking

Yeah, I reread it and I was like...oh no! I sound like a terrible BB CS clone! My sarcasm was not very apparent. I needed one of these 

 or something. I do not for the life of me see why you would need hairspray, that's just silliness, and I can't believe she still tried to act like it would be useful even when you had just told her it wasn't.

I will hope for you that your box gets lost and will be replaced by a golden ticket and five items you can actually use. While we're dreaming here, make that seven items--an extra pick two for the inconvenience! The sad thing is that I would love and could use hair stuff and got none this month, and you end up with a box full of it! Birchbox, are you drunk?

I found someone on instagram that got a golden ticket.

I found one other one so far... I'm bored it is kinda fun trying to figure out what people might tag the pic with.  One was tagged #1000point one was #birchboxwinner

I have a silly question... I cancelled my account for various reasons, before realizing I didn't have to/want to. If I re-sign up now, will I get another September box, or will I just be charged in October for that box? Thank you!

It depends on how long the wait list is. If you ask on their FB page they will sometimes give you an idea esp if this months boxes are gone already. Good luck!!

I think I read somewhere that signing up now would get you a september box until the 14th? I'd just wait until the 15th to reactivate. Since you canceled you wont' have to be on the wait list.

The only one I thought was even remotely okay was Skinny Chic. Even then, I wound up not caring for it too much after I wore it. I've tried the Rose and Orange Atelier Colognes, and both of them made me gag. I've gotten most of the Juicy fragrances from Birchbox, and the only one I liked (and bought) was Couture La La. That one actually smelled like Clinique's Happy perfume, and it didn't smell as young and sweet. I've really been enjoying Chloe lately, but even that had to kinda grow on me. 

You are not alone, I did not like any of the Harvey Prince scents either

I traded away or gave away all of them that I received in my boxes.

It's kind of funny to see people on the BB threads raving about the scents and I don't like them at all. I do love perfume and own about 20 fragrances but the Harvey Prince, Atelier, and Juicy scents did not appeal to me at all.

Sorry if this was answered, but how do I find the customer favorites that are 30% off with the code?

What's the new name? I actually liked that scent and might be interested in picking it up one of these days.

that's funny - i hate the Harvey Prince scents, but LOVE the Orange and Vanille Atelier and a couple (La La and Fleur) of Juicy!  I'm with you though, I own probably 20 or so different ones!!!

I thought new subs would go through this month? I decided to get another box for one of my girls and it wait listed me. Boo,

I just came back from the Birchbox Local pop-up shop. It wasn't as busy as I thought it would be, but I did go early to avoid the crowd. Was hoping to get the Davines shampoo and conditioner and Benefit mascara, but they were all out. Good news is that they're giving out Beauty Blenders! Here's the rest of my picks. You're allowed five, but the staffer let me choose an extra sample. Happy with the sizes and loved that I was able to customize my own box. They should make it permanent. I'd go there more often than I should.

Beauty Blender

Marcelle BB Cream Golden Glow

DDF Protective Eye Cream

Benefit Gimme Brow

Malin + Goetz Vitamin B5 Body Moisturizer

Jouer Lip Gloss
