You're in luck. ULTA has a GWP with 3 Benefit items (porefessional, badgal lash & chacha tint) if you spend $25 on Benefit stuff.

Bahahahahahaha....SO ugly! Holy moly. I bet you could sell those things as scrap metal. 

For me, it's not so much that they're ugly--even if I got it in my box and want to try it, I have a bob where my hair is longest in the front and comes about 4 inches abover collarbone...this thing won't fit on my hair/wouldn't be able to use it cause my hair's too short.  Come on, birchbox!  Only people who can really even try this are ppl with longer hair.

Last week I was able to figure out what I might be receiving in the June box. However, the feedback option disappeared today when I tried to look up the products again. I wonder if they're temporarily taking it down? Maybe because we're being too snoopy!? 

  I can't wait to get my box!

This isn't directly relating to the June boxes but I emailed CS about not receiving a 3 month discount as I thought that it was standard to get a discount at 3,6 and 9 months. The CS rep (Whitney) told me that giving those coupons each 3 months isn't standard practice sooo if any forum lurkers or other new BB subscribers were planning/ saving for those discounts take this into account. I was disappointed to get the news but now I think I'm just going to save up my points for a big purchase!

 

[ddave]

She also said that BB can't control or verify what's said on the forums but I cannot even think of a reason for anyone to lie/misrepresent information about a discount code 

 

[yanelib27]

lol at their response they are so weird! I have gotten one every 3 months for all of my accounts (I have had 3)

 

[MissLindaJean]

Not standard??? Well...I think a lot of people like BB so much because of the point/coupon discounts! That's why people stay and don't go elsewhere...I've got two accounts, which means I'll have to stockpile points and make my smaller purchases elsewhere, like Sephora!

I am wondering if we will see some Benefit product in our boxes this month as we just had a BB/Benefit event here in Chicago last night. Unfortunately I was not able to attend. I can't attend tonight's event either with Kerastase. I'm not as sad about that b/c I'd rather have gone to the Benefit event. *sad face*

wow what liars! here is mine from my three month back in april:



(note: also got the same thing for my first month as a welcome gift or whatever, have the email for that too)

 

[MissLindaJean]

One can hope, especially if they just did an event with Benefit..also, they're hosting another event with Kerastese? We got that last month...so fingers crossed people!

[nelliebelle1197]

So this means they have changed the transfer points option and the anniversary options without informing customers? Zadi, can you check this with your favorite CSR?

 

[americanclassic]

is that a new feature? I subbed from september to december but never received any promotions or discounts

I never got a three-month discount; but I'm not likely to buy from BB except when I have points stocked up anyway, so....

So maybe the feedback option mishap wasn't totally off...? So many people were able to leave feedback for Benefit products. Hmmm. I have been wondering the same thing with all the posts about Benefit. I know there's no way to know but it would be cool to get Benefit in our boxes. Here's hoping...but as always I'll try not to get my hopes up! It's fun playing the guessing game.

Email sent.

Each of my daughters and myself have accounts with Birchbox and each of my girls have received a three month anniversary code from Birchbox. It seems odd that all of a sudden someone from Birchbox is saying it's not standard or common when I know it was in the past.

 

[MissLindaJean]

MUT Detective/Liason! Thanks!! LOL...nice to have someone who knows someone in the know haha.

Maybe, I subbed at the end of December for my first one, March 2012 for my second accound and last month May 2012 on my last account. And like I said, I have gotten a welcome discount, 3 month discounts on all of them. My 6th month on my first account is this month (june) and I will be pretty sad/upset if I dont get one.

 

[Linnake]

I got 3-6-9 month codes and so did both my co-workers that get boxes but we all signed up at the same time? Not sure if that matters.  I haven't hit my year yet, so we'll see if I get it or not!

 

[iugirl13]

That seems weird that they would say "it's not standard practice when I received one last month for 3 month and one for starting out with another account. Since then I have cancelled my 2nd account and I'm thinking I will cancel after July if I can get a Glossybox this month.

 

[ladygrey]

I don't know about you guys, but I'm getting a little fed up with all of these different and inconsistent answers that are coming from Birchbox.
