Birchbox - The March boxes

[marybbryant]

I finally rec'd both my shipping notices today.  I'm getting the TV box for my first subscription (hooray!), but for my 2nd subscription I opted out on my new account, and recieved an email that says "Welcome to Birchbox! Your first box has shipped and is making its way to your front door. We've included a mix of all-time favorites and new discoveries that we think you'll love"   I opted in for TV on my old account, and opted out on my new account.  I should probably have done it the other way around.  I'm probably going to get Box # 23 with the stick on eyeliners, and products I've already tried in my old account.

3. Kérastase Elixir Ultime
4. kate spade new york Twirl
5. Twistband Hair Tie- a blue one

I like everything, yay! I'm glad I opted in for the TV box, but I'm kind of jealous of the people who got the I Coloniali Tibetan Shower Cream just because I'm a sucker for trying random brands I've never heard of. I'm also glad that the Jouer Moisturizing Tint is in the boxes again this month, since I'm assuming it'll still ship free. When I review the stuff in this box, I'll have enough points for $20 off the tint and then free shipping.

I got my shipping confirmation days ago, on both accounts, was supposed to get both boxes yesterday, but, of course, didn't. The last time my shipment link (both of them) updated was the 6th in MA (sent the 5th). AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

ohhhhh thats the Essie I want!!! 

When I first got it I put it over Mac's Breezy Blue and it looked great, like the night sky. Of course, after that I remembered that I had a big meeting yesterday morning, but the half hour that I had it on was fun.

 

[HelloLeilani]

When will the box links go live? Anxious to see which two TV boxes I'm getting. What I get will still be a surprise, as I won't know the actual color of what I'm getting is, anyway!

Okay I finally got shipment notification, but there is no weight to check.

I want to do that manicure now! Thanks!

Update on my boxes

TV box: The weight is 5490, so I'm thinking it'll be box #4 from what I've read. 

Regular box: I just got the shipping confirmation. It claims it'll be here by the 12th, but what with my TV box not coming yesterday, I'm thinking It'll arrive on the 13th (2 days until I go to Hawaii! :/) It says it weighs 4990, which is not too much, but I hope it's good anyways. Did anyone else get this weight?

I think because mine is being shipped by UPS it will be one of the boxes without polish.  #11 or #12.

And mine also says - Your March box has shipped. This month, we're out to whip your regimen into shape—just in time for spring—with products to conquer all your major and minor beauty dilemmas.

I did it the other way around and it didn't work.  I had made a new account for the TV box and emailed them asking about my opt in/out status of both accounts just to be clear about it.  I'm getting a regular box with my regular account, and got the email that says "We've included a mix of all-time favorites and new discoveries that we think you'll love" for my new account that was supposed to be a TV box!  So frustrating.  I really don't want more stick on eyeliner.

They are all being shipped using UPS.  They have UPS bring it closer to you, and then UPS hands it off to USPS who finishes the delivery

I got my box today - I got the Essie in "As Gold As It Gets"...it's actually really pretty, but I never paint my nails so I'd rather trade it for something I'd use. So let me know, when you get your box. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I might trade the lip balm for Yousoldtheworld's nail polish if she gets a different color than I do, but if that doesn't work out I would trade it with you for a different color Essie or the Tarte if you want? Otherwise it's going up on the trade forum because while it is an awesome lip balm I literally just got it from Sephora for my birthday a week ago, and I don't need two.

I would prefer the lip balm!  lol.

Have fun, what island? The weather has been HORRIBLE on O'ahu (my native isle) and Kaua'i. My family and friends said it was really scary yesterday with hail the size of baseballs pouring down.

Ya, I don't think I'm getting a "regular" march box with my main account. Both of my accounts I made are new ones, but one of them got the TV box, which I'm super excited about, and then this one has the "random mix of products" thing happening. lol. 

So Hopefully I get something good, but I'm not super worried about it. I don't think it's going to match up to the march box list if it's the intro box and they're just kind of giving me an assortment. 

 

[Tamala Nails]

I get that...but how are people seeing what the weight is?  I assumed that they were still getting the older notification.  There is no weight in my email like there has been in the past.

I got my box today, and it was the box I wanted!  Box 4.  Unfortunately, the Tarte was damaged in transit and was all stuck in the cap, but BB is usually pretty good about fixing stuff.

I got:  Tarte in Lucky (the light pink shade), Essie in "As Gold As It Gets", The Kerastase Elixer, A twist band in coral (I want more of these!), and Kate Spade Twirl, and of course the ModCloth coupon  I'm happy with it.

 

[freyabecca]

I got box#4 with the nailpolish color called gold as it gets and the hair tie is a bluish/purplish.
