No makeup products, and one repeat.

I'm getting the EyeRock liner strips AGAIN, a perfume sample, Fashion tape, nail polish removal wipes, Juice Blemish clearing cleanser, and the orofluido elixir.

So disappointed. This is my first truly awful box, and I am very displeased. No makeup samples from a makeup sample subscription service? That's just not alright. And a repeat from LAST month that has still gone unused? C'mon Birchbox! 

And I never received an email to opt into the Teen Vogue box. Which sucks, because I am a nailpolish and lipstain junkie. Awesome.
That sucks! But I mean, I'm sure they WILL consider the liners to be a makeup item, since, liner is makeup.

I would reach out to them and let them know you're dissatisfied with getting the repeat...especially one from last month. I'm sure they will do what they can to make things right for you!

 
Good morning, Mdiest12!!!

Thank you, but I already use some of the products in box 9!!

Best of luck!

If you like box 9 I would be happy to do a trade :] That was my ideal box! Skin care, skin care and more skincare!

They aren't a "make up sample subscription service", though. And if you ask birchbox, they would qualify the eyerock as make up.

Yep, this is what I was going to say - it's a beauty sample service, NOT a makeup sample service!  And in my experience, none of the services consistently have makeup samples every month.  Makeup samples just aren't as easy to come by.  
 
Still no box. I do not understand for the life of  me why it has to go to MA. First... I sooner could have walked into the office and picked one up lol.

Anyway, The contents of my box are listed on the site. I am a bit confused..

It is allowing me to leave feedback for a 12 pack of hair ties as well as a 3 pack. Does this mean that I am getting 2 elastics? Obviously they wouldn't send out 15 of them in one box, that would be crazy. The only thing that I am looking forward to is the mattifying gel. There is a lipgloss by Tart, or something like that, not really interested as I am not much of a gloss user. Some frenchie sounding perfume which will most likely sit in my drawer. Am I upset? Nope! I think of it like Christmas every month. You can't expect every gift to be what you want :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

btw, this is the TV box.

 
At least one of my boxes will be delivered to me today, the other one hasnt updated since the 10th so there's a chance I will get that one as well. I am soo excited:)

 
Was this your first box or the first box on this account? The first box is sometimes a "welcome" box that is filled with an assortment of past items. If it's not the first box on that account then I would call customer service and tell them you got a repeat. If you created a second account, and this is the first box on that account, there really isn't much you can do, but keep in mind that you wont ever get the welcome box again.

This is my first time posting but I've stalked this group for a few months. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I received the Teen Vogue box 4 this month and am very happy! I got the Essie polish in gold, not the best for my skintone but it's ok. Also my Tarte lid was extremely hard to get off!! Mine was in the Matte shade "lucky". Does anyone who got the shade "amused" know if it's more moisturizing then the matte ones?

 
Hey guys I have a quick question...my box shipped on Saturday and today it is still saying there is no tracking information available.  Is this normal or do I need to call birchbox or ups?

Usually it takes 24 business hours, so its probably fine. 

 
My box was stated to be here Friday. Still not here and no update at all. Grrrr. Has it been confirmed that they changed their shipping procedures? Usually I get my box exactly when it says I will. 

I am getting TV box #2 Does anyone know if it looks like it is coming with the pink polish/bright pink tarte?? I want the vibrant pinks soooo bad.

Mine also said it'd be here Friday and no box yet. It finally updated yesterday tho and looks like I'll get it tomorrow
 
I always tell myself I'd swap at a store that carried something even if I didn't purchase it there.. but I haven't yet, I think it makes me feel bad too.

 
So I am out in Austin for #SXSW, and in Birchbox has done an amazing job dolling up the bathrooms

at some of the major parties! This was last night's at the Path party and Kenechi, and in addition to 

the products here, they had samples galore! shu emura hair oil, tatcha blotting papers jouer bb lipgloss 

and some others! It was totally super cute! They even did the mens restroom with "Birchbox Man" I didn't manage

to snap a pic of the decals on the mirrors, but they were super cute as well. Loved it.

That is so cute! 

 
OK, I opened it. I got the gold polish and the matte tarte...any tips on opening the tarte so as not to ruin it? The lid did NOT come off easily and I'm afraid to pull too hard. 

 
Check out what I got! Box 2 and I am keeping everything in it :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

The Tarte in color 'Peaceful' is more nude than orange, and sheer. I am wearing it now and I love how moisturizing it is.

I love the Essie in color A Cut Above. I like the perfume sample, am wearing that now as well. And I will even get use out of the Twistband, and I am glad it was not in a neon color.

 
I'm so jelly of your Tarte! I wanted that color and I haven't seen anyone else on here get it! I am getting the fresh lip balm in my TV box....figures since I am already getting it for my bday this month.....lol I'm not complaining though both of my boxes have amazing stuff in them this month. I just wish they would hurry up and get here already!
