Birchbox - The March boxes

[Animekitten]

I'm sad I just received my birchbox and my perfume was shattered. It also ruined my hair powder. I sent an email so hopefully they won't make the mistake of putting a glass perfume vile by a glass fingernail polish again. I also got the juicy beauty cleanser (very happy to try this), the stila eye card (kinda disappointed that it's a card), and some tea (reminds me of Eco-Emi lol).

Hi all - New poster / long-time lurker here.  I've been getting my BB since March of last year and, generally, have been pleased.  I did cancel in February to switch to MG, but quickly switched back after the craziness over there.  I have a question though.  The new shipping is confusing me.  Is this month's bag being delivered by UPS or USPS?  The tracking information says that it should have delivered yesterday?

Got my TV box yesterday. I got box #4.  Overall very happy with the box.  I got the Tarte in Lucky.  Trying to figure out how to work with the matte-"ness" of it.  Trying to put any kind of gloss over it changes the color and I don't like that.

I haven't seen many review for this yet - I hope my problem is just hormones or something!

 I used the Jouer tint last weekend.  I went to an outdoor festival and it was a little hot.  I used the Vichy day cream underneath.  My face has broken out like crazy.  Not just in little pimples but major whiteheads...(sorry...gross, I know).  I am not sure it if it was the Vichy or the Jouer.  I had been using the Vichy alone for 3-4 days daily prior.  I used a dermologica moisturizer a couple of years ago after their products were used in a facial I got and it did the same thing to my skin.  My skin is highly sensitive and the only thing that has ever worked on my skin is Prescriptives Comfort Cream.

I'm due to receive Box 8 in a few days.....but would like to trade this box (in its entirety or a few pieces) for a Teen Vogue Box w/the Tarte Lip Surgence.

PM if interested...thanks

 They Sent me 6 free samples!! 

So, I just emailed and asked if I could get samples and they said "Absolutely.  Like us on Facebook we do a contest every Wednesday".  So not sure if I am getting samples or if I have to try to win the contest on Facebook.

They're likely sending you samples as well.

The contests on wednesday is when they give away a full-sized product.  I won it 2 weeks ago and they sent me a gigantic bottle of toner.  It was pretty awesome!

I just did the same thing, the email I got back was:

Everything I've tried from them so far has been really nice!  I also have pretty sensitive skin and none of their products have irritated my skin so far either /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I have been using the skincare youth transformation age corrective serum with my befine night cream for 2 nights now and the combination makes my skin SO soft but one of them made me have a mini break out on my jaw area which is strange because I never break out ):

I have the full sized tube and love it and have had no problems with it.  BUT I'm 65 and have dry skin.

Hey guys I've been lurking around these threads for some time now and finally decided to join. I've been with birchbox for 5 months and decided to get both the TV box and regular BB. I got box 4 for the TV and had the same issue with the product being stuck to the lipsurgence cap! As far as the regular BB i got box 16 which i don't care for much at all since I'm not that into hair products i prefer makeup. This is the first time I'm actually a bit diasspointed with my BB box. Ill probably be making a list of items up for trade soon if anyone is interested, I'm interested in the kiehl's dark spot corrector, zoya nail polish, ahava, laura geller, philosophy, or december myglam bag if anyone wants to trade!

Welcome to MakeUpTalk! I've had the same problem with the Tarte LipSurgence caps, though I bought it directly from Sephora. I think it is a common problem unfortunately. You should make a list of what items you have that you want to trade and what items you are looking for on the BirchBox Trade Thread, hope you find something that you like.
