Birchbox - The March boxes

[iPretty949]

I did that too! They are so awesome they even included instructions on how to use each product.

I received mine two weeks ago but havent used them yet.

I lost the instructions :/ I will just check their website. It was funny though coz Hautelook but up a sale of Mario Badescu the next day with awesome prices!

They should send you an email in the next couple of days with a link to click if you are interested in the samples.  You don't have to buy anything to get the samples.  Sorry I didn't explain the process, it is not obvious.

Thanks! I just filled it out. How were your samples packaged? Foil packets?

I might be able to help u, sleepykat!

I also requested for samples and received small pots of creams and mask and small bottles of cleanser. They weren't wrapped individually but they came in okay in a bubble mailer. Would you want to see em? I have to look for them though because I traveled and brought some stuff and kept some away

I have used it 3 times now and I really like it! I am considering buying the full size. I have worn it under my make up while taking my daughter for walks, it's about 80 degrees here right now, and pretty humid, and I stayed matte the whole time.... which would never have happened without it. So far I haven't had a single pimple either, so I don't think it is going to make me break out.

Can someone review the Peter Thomas Roth Max Anti Shine Mattifying Gel? Would any of you who got the sample consider buying the full size?

Woohoo got my ship notice for my teen vogue replacement box or w/e it was.

 

[Kristlkrost]

I just did the form but don't see how you get the samples??? It just told me what to order full size???

My box came today.  The tracking info still says it is in Jersey!

My Harvey Prince perfume was broken.  Total bummer since it is my current favorite.  It was a duplicate from Dec and they already have given me 100 points for sending it so I am not going to complain.  At least if all my other stuff has a perfume smell it is one I like!

FYI they are doing a buried bauble tomorrow (Sunday) as well, according to an email I got from them. I guess they're adding a few extra days.

Does anyone know if Wal Mart carries Essie? I really want to try some more of those colors. I got Set In Stones, but like the gold and pink as well. Sadly I need to go to Wal Mart today, but I may stop off at Target as well, and I think I read a few of you saying the have it there.

 

[zadidoll]

I have not seen Essie at Walmart but I have at Target, RiteAid and Walgreens.

 

[yanelib27]

Kool, is there any way for you to know whats in it?

I got the pink one at my super walmart yesterday. I already have one, but picked up an extra just in case it's limited edition. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Thanks zadidoll and pinktergal! I am probably going to both. OT, is is unbelievably hot in the midwest this week and all my summer clothes are in storage until I move so I'm going a dress/skirt/leggings spree today so I'm not boiling in my jeans and long sleeved shirts! Wal Mart has cheap leggings but I'm not big on their dresses, etc. Hopefully Target has some cute stuff for cheap since I don't really NEED new clothes I am trying not to overspend

what!? They told me they were sold out as why they couldn't replace my broken one! such bull!

It's so strange that there are so many different responses to the same problem.  Kudos to Birchbox for sending out free Teen Vogue Boxes.  I'm not one of the affected subscribers but it seems like a great thing to do, I know many people were really disappointed.  But some who seemed the most disappointed and emailed Birchbox about it aren't getting the option to get a box?  I would have loved to get the sample closet email, but alas, it wasn't sent to me on any of my boxes.  Probably for the best, as I have a zillion unused samples and shouldn't spend $150 right now . . . but samples are so addicting!  I know you ladies understand, and that my friends, makes me feel much better.  

 

[sweetiegirlll]

That's what I'm talking about!  Different people get different answers . . . Maybe if you write back again in view of the new info?  But that's a pain in the butt, you shouldn't have to do that to have a company do what's right.  Did they offer you the 100 points?  That would help, I suppose, but it's not the same as a working, non-broken $24 Tarte LipSurgence.  

Love your blog, btw.  Hope things work out for you, sorry it's such a bummer!

Just got my box. Looking to swap Essie luxe effects in A Cut Above (pink glitter) and mini Fresh Sugar Rose balm because I already have both. I'll trade the polish for the silver glitter one or trade both for a full size Tarte lip pencil if I like the shade. Send me a PM!

Yeah I don't know why...because they told me they were out of them, and then it just showed up in the mail.
