Just had my first consultation! Ami is really friendly. I told her I wasn't interested in skincare (since I've already found great stuff), but I told her I was interested in:

-something to moisturize my hair and fight frizzies since it's gotten so dry

-a bright pink blush

-nail polish, preferably neon or yellow

I had just told her those few things, and she said that she had enough for my first box, so...we'll see! I'm excited about this. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Wow, 3 lip balms/glosses is a little overkill :/

I had my consultation on 2/28 and have yet to get a notice. It looks like it's pretty random

People who actually got shipping notices, how long after your consultation thing did you get it?

Wow!  The disparity between the boxes is amazing, some have been knock it out of the park and others absolutely opposite of what subscribers specifically said they wanted or didn't want.  I'm wondering what mine will be.  Maybe I'll have my Grandparents open it over Skype since I won't be back to the States until May, lol!  It's almost like wondering if you won the lottery or get the consolation prize.  The good news is, what's a consultation prize for some tends to be a keeper for others.  I'm not sure what to think of the Youngblood line, but the good reviews on the primer and hd powder intrigue me, although I have the MakeUp Forever HD Powder and it's pretty big, I think it'll take me a year or two to run out of it and when we were at Sephora the demo of HD powders impressed my Grandma so much that I bought her a $36 one (can't remember the brand, it was a bigger container than the MUFE) so she's good for awhile too.  I said - NO SKINCARE, definitely want makeup and polish and she said something like, "Wow, you really know what you want".  We discussed nail polish strips, eye makeup and foundation (which I haven't seen one box with foundation in, but that's not a big surprise since foundation is hard to match, although I told her my specific MUFE HD foundation number and she thanked me for it . . .)  Unless you count the orange mineral "warmth" as foundation for our fair skinned ladies, :/  I really don't expect a $12 box to send me an amazing foundation, I just thought it'd help them know my coloring if they sent me a sample of concealer or something.  Oh!  I'm now remember someone seemed to get a Stila something like foundation . . . wow, it really *is* a crap shoot!  Sorry for the terminology but I can't think of a better way to describe it, lol.  I'm really surprised that the ladies who got nail polish got higher end brands, I'd think that they'd be sticking a bunch of Pixie or no name brand polishes in the boxes.  

I really enjoy the sharing of the contents of the boxes, thanks so much for posting them for us all to see.  I also like the element of surprise.  I'm one of the ones that doesn't mind the disparity of the Birchboxes as much, because to me, some months I win and some months I get a not so great box.  I'd rather that there be a coveted product like a Beauty Blender in some of the boxes and not get one than not have a chance at all.  Then there are lots of reviews out there and if I decide it's a must have product I can use some of the generous BB points and coupons to get one at a more affordable price.

Is there a trade forum for Sindulge and/or random beauty box things other than just Birchbox?  I'd love to trade things but I'd rather send a bit of money via Paypal for samples so that the original poster can use it to buy what they really wanted.  Is that a no no?  Please correct me if I'm wrong, don't wanna make a newbie mistake!

Well, I sent Sindulge an email about shipping my box to my billing address instead of my shipping address, because I should not have to pay extra to have my box shipped to me after they sent it to the wrong address. I will have to see if they respond and what they are going to do about it.

 

[Playedinloops]

Well, I decided to give sindulge one more try since it is free. Granted this was the third try I gave them, and nothing went wrong with the consultation for the first time. Of course I'm receiving eyeliner and a mineral primer, lol. BIG SURPRISE THERE. 

 

[amberlamps]

Their website says they take paypal.. but I can't figure out how to make paypal my payment. Has anyone used paypal for this sub?

 

[livelifeeasy]

Ugh, they sent my box to my billing address instead of my shipping address. I emailed them, we'll see what happens.

 

[NicoleRoyer]

Same thing happened to me! So annoying!

I still haven't heard anything from them.

 

[NicoleRoyer]

I got a response and all they said was that they will confirm my shipping address so that it doesn't happen again....

Seriously? They didn't even send you another box?

 

[amberlamps]

I caved since it's only a penny. I don't consider this breaking my no-buy. Unless it is super awesome (on par with BB) I will probably cancel after I get my box.

I thought my consultation was today at 12:30 but it's actually the 29th. Hopefully I remember to do it.

 

[javagirl87]

This is getting ridiculous. I still haven't gotten my tracking number and they said they were going to ship it yesterday...

I'm getting frustrated because it's seriously been almost a month since I had my consultation. I may cancel even though they are giving me 2 free boxes. This is getting super shady IMO.

Well Jaivin finally got back to me. Said they'd send out another box to me next week.

 

[snllama]

I think they ALL went to the LA Makeup Show or some incompetent intern must be holding up shop while they are gone. They just posted all the images on their facebook. 

But either way, if they dont fix their CS Ill be canceling after the next free box.

And java that is absolutely ridiculous that they haven't sent your box!

 

[NicoleRoyer]

Nope! Nothing.... great customer service huh?
