Hey everyone, I've been lurking for a few months (since I subscribed to Birchbox... and now Beauty Army & Beauty Fix!), and I have to say it is pure torture not peeking at the different boxes. Bu that's what makes BB fun, the surprise. Thanks for posting the spoiler alert warning and not ruining it for all of us. =) Hope I don't regret getting the Teen Vogue box this month (at 27 I'm def not a teen!, but hoped it would give me some good variety).

I'm drinking the honey yuzu right now. Also quite yummy! I'm a tea drinker, too. I don't like coffee so I have several cups of tea every day, like you. Tea is also full of antioxidants, so it's great for the body and the skin! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />   It's not just a beverage - it's a beauty treatment!

This is the Essie 'A Cut Above' pink glitter polish over OPI 'Kiss Me On My Tulips". (Hot pink.)  Sorry about the glare, but the glitter is so twinkly! LOL!   I already had this in my stash.  The one I got in my March BB is a light pink Colour Club.

I do not if I can put the trade in this forum, or do yo have a specific forum???

Anyway, I would like to trade My Venus Razor (from Love VoxBox) for a Tarte LipSurgenceâ„¢ lip tint!  Thank you very much!!!!

I got a reply to my email from Paulina, and I'm happy to say it wasn't the standard "your regular March box is so awesome" reply I got first. She apologized and credited me with 100 points. At this point, I've decided to stay around one more month. I really want a Clarisonic Mia, so I will probably order with the Birchbox Sample Closet promo, but I have to be an active member to do so. I'll do that, pick a few samples, and score a few more points. If my April box disappoints, at least I'll have a hefty point balance to cash in when I do cancel.

I have noticed that the people who seem to get the sucky boxes have a yearly subscription. It makes me not want to update to a yearly.

They sent out an email to some people to get the chance to "shop" the samples at bb if you placed an order of 125 or higher and entered the right code. The promotion will only work for those who received the email.

For those interested in the BabbleBar + Birchbox promo, the additional item is just 15 percent off any purchase of $25 or more in the store. Lame... I wanted neon polish.

 

[yanelib27]

what store? Birchbox or Bauble?

omg I didn't even email them and they are sending me another teen vogue bb. Apparently I was supposed to have two, one on each account. Well I cannot complain. Did anyone else get this email? Must've been a lot of complaints going on...

 

[Tulipp]

I just got an e-mail saying they are going to send me a Teen Vogue box free of charge since I signed up for it /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Hahah, that's awesome. Two boxes

Did anyone else get this e-mail too?

 

[Steffi]

My box is FINALLY out for delivery today.

 

[lovepink]

Just got an email back from Birchbox because I had expressed disppointment in not receiving the Teen Vogue box and in my box that did not seem suited to me. Got a standardized email from Paulina that I replie back to about duplicate samples. Just got an email today stating they are crediting my account 100 points. Good customer sevice almost makes up for my meh box and the fact I did not get to review 2 items from last months box!

I hope not! I signed up for the yearly. =( 

My first box is sucky because it's that "welcome one" but I'm hoping that the rest are good. To be honest though, even a crappy birchbox is still better than the MyGlam bags I've gotten so far.

hahaha. Well, if I lived in a house it would be okay! But right now I only have one room and so it's getting a little crowded with all my stuff in here! It's basically like a living room & bedroom in one and then my bathroom is TINY. Once I move out of here and into a regular sized house, it would be fine because then I can have room to organize everything.

I was actually growing disappointed in BB & almost cancelled until I got the email about the Teen Vogue boxes & decided to stick around. Boy was I blown away this month! They've really renewed my confidence and desire to receive their product. In the past my one BB was lost because of the Philly mail system (which I didn't find out til after I contacted BB) & they sent me a new one immediately. I have to say I am super pleased with the company, even if the boxes do sometimes leave something to be desired.
