Birchbox - The March boxes

[NicoleRoyer]

I wish I would get my tracking already so I would at least know if I am getting two regular boxes or one of each.

AFAIK, I'm getting the regular box.

Your getting a TV box that you don't want? I don't know what I am getting on my second account yet, but if it is another regular box I will trade you for your TV box. I haven't gotten the shipping email though, so I don't know what it is yet. I will let you know when I find out...

she thought maybe i adjusted the other second account for an opt-out, but that showed an opt-in.

so i asked if i can return the box for a full refund, and she said yes as long as the box is not opened.

and i asked to cancel the second account.

and if there was any possibility of doing a swap for the correct box that i requested twice by the email and by phone and she said that once the boxes are shipped there is nothing she can do to get me my correct box. 

so a complete waste of my time creating the second account and calling, etc.

My box weighs .5390 but I did not get the teen vogue message on my shipping notice?  Hmm....a mystery.  I guess I will be very suprised when it arrives.

I still have not received a shipping notice on my regular account.

Is the second account the one you opened for the TV or your regular? If it is the TV account it is probably a welcome box with all sorts of past samples. I may just return it so that I can use the $10 towards a full-size product.

I opened it for the TV box, and if it's a welcome box I wouldn't blame you! haha!

This will be my first Birchbox ever, and I opted in for the Teen Vogue. I live on the West Coast, still have not received a tracking number...is this normal?

Didn't they say all new subscriptions for March would be the TV box anyway? Not a welcome box?!

 

[lilyelement]

They ship *by* the 10th. So yes it is normal /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

My boxes are generally shipped on the 10th or the 9th so don't be too worried.

Kinda off subject, but have any of you tried the Oscar Blondi dry shampoo?? Was it any good? I am looking for a dry shampoo and haven't had any luck yet. I tried the tresemme (sp?) one and it turned my hair a funky grey color.

I haven't used that one but I really like the Suave dry shampoo. 

 

[winkiepup]

I like the Suave too - the smell (lemony) is a little strong, but it works well!

I have seen that one and wondered if it would be good! It's super affordable too. I will have to go pick it up, thanks ladies!

I got the Freeman Beauty Psssst in the Beauty Army box and I like that one. 

My friend got the Oscar Blandi and loves it! But does it work better than the cheapo drug store type, no idea.

I have tried it. It doesnt leave a white residue like some do, and it works pretty good. It smells great too! Dry shampoo has never really worked great for me though (i have thin limp hair). So it should work fine for you if you dont have my hair type.

Looks like there was another new product added to the list of things in the teen vogue box!



Also I don't see the Essie polish listed anymore anywhere... /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  Hopefully they just took it down temporarily or something

I have seen mentions of the peter thomas roth brand, maybe there are actual product variations on the tv box!

I think Oscar Blandi works better than the drugstore brands but not better enough to justify the cost difference if that makes sense.

It sounds like you were spraying too close to your hair.  I get the grey sometimes if I am not paying attention.  It should brush out. I do think the suave is better than tresemme if you are comparing drug store brands.

If you have blonde hair, I tend to just use baby powder. I just take a poof or two in my hands and turn my head upside down and rub into my scalp and run it through my hair. I think it works better than dry shampoo. Even dry powder shampoos I've tried.

 

[pharmatwizz]

Awesome! I would love to try that out. And it looks like people are going to get some fashion tape and/or tea as their lifestyle extra?

I don't think it was too close, I have tried using it all different ways, close, farther away, just a tiny bit, using more... even after I brush my hair I can see an odd grey/dusty looking film on my hair. I just don't like it at all... I will try the suave before I spend the money on the OB one. The baby powder trick might work. I will give that a shot too! I have an 8 month old and I don't always get a chance to get in the shower, I need something to freshen up a bit.
