they are supposed to be sending me a new box but I havent received my ship notice. If I dont have it by Monday I will email them back and ask about it. I dont think they would say they were sending me one if they werent going to.

I got my ship notice today for my replacement, but the tracking number isn't working yet.

They told me the same thing. 

 I would have preferred a box replacement.

[ladybritt]

My lip stain was bad as well and I sent two e mails (a second because I replied to my "your box has shipped" e mail and wasn't sure if that was the right address to send it to) and still no reply /emoticons/sad@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I really wanted to try it!

 

[MyriadVoices]

I got the neon pink shade, "Jackie Oh!". I was planning to give it to my little sister, but I'd be thrilled to trade for the green.

But if anyone would like to SWAP 

  the color club polish I got for another color, that would be awesome.

I received  Age of Aquarius:

I would be interested in any other color but the blue or yellow... 

 

[ladybritt]

I found the Gold Essie at Wal Mart (last one of the luxeffects they had, I was happy!) and then the pink at Target. I can't wait to use them both. I used the set in stones I got in my box last night and really like it. I'm a glitter girl

 

[AnnieXO]

@Ladybritt -- I used it over Zoya's Faye and it was so pretty... blinged out rose-gold nails! I find using these hex glitter polishes over a color that's a similar shade but somewhat duo chrome (with some dimension, just not solid color/matte) is really gorgeous.
 

 

[SetToStunning]

My box is finally in WA! Looks like I will probably get it Tuesday.

 

[kweenah]

I just got my BB today =] They never updated my tracking info, so I was surprised when I saw it. I got box #9. I was kind of sad because when I opened my box, I saw that perfume was broken....o wells. =[ I'm excited to try the blemish clearing cleanser. ^__^

 

[sweetiegirlll]

AnnieXO - that sounds pretty!  I'll have to try it.  Thanks for sharing, I love it when people suggest great combos.

Ladybritt - Isn't it cool how Birchbox gets us all excited about a brand and so we end up going out and buying extra of it because we love it so much?  I guess it proves that brands being included in Birchboxes works as far as advertising.  That's great because it makes it a great appeal to all sorts of different brands to want to get their products in the boxes which equals better choices for us!  I don't understand exactly the business plan used, but I haven't researched it much yet.  It seems fascinating to me.  Katia and some of the other heads of Birchbox have impressive resumes and bring a lot to the table.  They are consistently interesting and different and I've found so many different products that I wouldn't have had a chance to use otherwise.  Yay Birchbox!  This month was a winner for a lot of people, many are saying it's the best box they've received.

I got a replacement tarte for the teen vogue box I did receive on one account, since mine was broken but I'm still not sure why they sent me one and no one else, I haven't received the second replacement tv box yet, on my real account. /emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" />

i got my email from Mario Badescu for the free samples!  cool!  cant wait!  the MAD serum gave me a rash! or it could be i am trying too many different face products..........

 

[yousoldtheworld]

I got the email for the Mario Badescu samples, too, and ordered them...then read the ingredients on the products and kind of regretted it. (Nothing alarming...I mean, no blood from a virgin or anything...just parabens, sulfates, and some pore clogging ingredients that I'm slowly but surely trying to eliminate from my life, or at least as much as possible.)  Oh well, I'll give 'em to my mom!

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

 





Thanks! Don't worry about photos, since I'm not paying for the samples. I am mostly curious if they are one-time use or more. I haven't received an e-mail from them yet, but it hasn't been a long time. My skin is still pretty good, so I thought I should do preventative maintenance on it now.

I can say 3-5 days worth of samples. Not bad!

Thanks!  it's hard, especially since I LOVE trying products.  Some of it's easy - cleansers, moisturizers.  But then there are the things I never even thought about containing parabens, like eyeshadows.  I'm using up the rest of what I have, but one of my new year's resolutions was to not purchase items with these ingredients except in rare cases, so that site will help a lot. /emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" />

They told me they couldn't replace mine, as well.

 

 

One of the ladies in another thread contacted Tarte instead of Birchbox, and they were going to replace it for her. I think it was zadidoll.
