20% off code for Birchbox?  Tell me more! (please)

I used "TAKEOFF20" to receive 20% off.  I also added on a free mystery sample pack.  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> This is my first BB order, so I don't know if their discount codes also work on subs.

Oh, I'm in the Bay Area. I paid $272 with sales taxes. However, I would pay the sales tax if I were to walk into NM and buy these things. The ridiculous sales tax isn't their fault though. Thanks, Jerry Brown.

I'm in the Bay Area too! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I agree!  No body was forced to purchase this box.

and you bought it and are super happy?  paid $275 with taxes?

I have a jewelry box by the same company, It is really pretty + well made!! mine is lacquered instead of glass which is what the NM/PS one is....they have nice trays + boxes too!

I think everyone will like the items better in person, I don't love Missoni but the candle is so pretty - Had it been priced same as Diptque I would have def bought it! The Claire V clutch is really well made, nothing like the one from resort box - To buy this clutch even on sale, I have seen them go to $150 so then all the other 7 items would come to $100 - I have kids and still use clutches, I will grab out of bigger bag or just grab clutch to do errands.....

thanks. it's nice to hear.  it will be good to see these in person.

I did not purchase it because I knew there was a chance(like with any sub. box) that I might now be happy with everything in it. I was waiting for a spoiler to make my decision.  I think it looks like a lovely box though.

You can get that glass storage box on Amazon right now in a different color for as little as $12.

Thanks for the tip. Got the large one in black for $20 incl CA tax. I'm thrilled as I thought the box would be really nice if it wasn't white. Black works wonderful for me!

I think if I had bought the box, I'd try to sell the clutch and if that would truly go for $150, then the remainder is totally fine for $125. For me, I love the Aloha clutch .. I use it a lot in our diaper bag or on the beach .. I can even wash it if necessary. But, I'm not a NM person /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I received my box today. Each item could easily be gifted as each item came in its own individual and original packaging. And the hot chocolate is a substantial size, ditto for the Lancer cream. The box is very pretty and will look great on my nightstand or bathroom counter. It's still feels like a random curation but each item is very clearly high quality and would make for very nice gifts.

Is it bad that I'm most excited for the hot chocolate?! I'm a hot chocolate junkie! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

You sound like the popsugar canned responses /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  Good to hear it from someone that received it too /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Finally got my shipment info from Popsugar. should be getting my box 11/12... at least they kept their end of the bargain on the fact that we would receive in mid-November. I am definitely not wowed on the luxury aspect of this box but at least many of the items will make great Christmas gifts. The $100 picture frame is probably my biggest disappointment, it would be better if they broke up the value between 2 $50 items. As much as the negative comments the $88 candle is getting, I have to say that the Missoni brand at least makes it an impressive present for somebody. I personally would not get something like this for myself but if someone gifted it to me I would be happy. I might be the odd woman out but I was hoping to get less beauty items, there were 3 in this box!

I'm kind of amazed that I got my box today because it seems I'm always one of the last to get boxes. Everything is just beautiful! I'm so happy I received the Monterosa candle that I really wanted! It is so much more stunning & substantial than I thought it would be. I'm definitely reusing the container after it burns out. I want one of these for every room in my home. The frame is simple and lovely like the glass box. Not wowed by either item, but they also too beautiful to me for gifting. I want to keep them both! The chocolate will make a lovely gift if I manage not to break into it before Christmas haha. I didn't realize the lipgloss & mascara were in a boxed set together, this makes them so nice to gift as well. The only thing I'm not jazzed about is the Lancer cream. I could have done with another home item or fashion item instead. Lastly, the clutch- I adore Clare Vivier and can't get enough of her classic foldover. I was hoping for some variation in the clutches and a metallic would have been perfect for the holidays, but I love it. It is flawless & timeless & I will enjoy the heck out of it! I do agree that the box all together lacks the wow factor & I feel bad for the people who really hate the box. But each item is lovely, useful & special by itself & I feel personally that my money was well spent! I'm sorry- I might be easy to please & have a tendency to blow good money on ridiculously overpriced pretty things, but I just can't hide my glee : )

If anyone wants to see closeup photos, let me know. I'm happy to take some.

Here they are. Everything came in really nice boxes/packaging.

 

[makeuptalks]

^ Thank you for sharing pictures! I personally really love this box and think the curation is wonderful!

 

[I'm so addicted]

What does the candle smell like.. I think that is the balsm and fir?? I wonder if there are verations... I soooo don't want the patchouli

 

[AshJs3]

Great pictures! That candle...so gorgeous! I hate the scent of pine though so hopefully I don't get that one. I'd have to completely scrape out the candle! Everything looks great!

My box came today and I think it is very nice.  I have lots of gifts for people now which is a good thing !!  I got the candle that is in the front of the picture on the website.  The one that smells like Arizona dirt or something.   I  like it.   I am a makeup  lover and love to have lots of makeup.  I feel that this box is way to heavy on makeup items.   3 high end items.   That's to much. I think that they should have had one makeup item and  a jewelry  and clothing type item ( nice neutral cashmere piece).   The frame is smaller than I thought it would be but its very beautiful as is everything in the box.
