I am so bummed. i got my 3 month anniversary code but i just spent pretty much all my points on a gift sub cos i couldn't bear to live without my BB. lol. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> sad-laugh.

i could get um. nothing much.

*edit -- boo wtf. i called to see if i would be getting a welcome box on this sub (2nd account, but gift sub code) and she said it is automatically a welcome box with those, no choice.  i wanted it activated now because of this month's products, not repeat "favorites".  boo boo boo. i really hope they send 27 then and not 28.  /hormonal cry rant

I called and while they couldn't replace the box (i was bummed because I really wanted it!), they comped my august box so you get a free  box from it. Make sure you call!

Also, the stila gloss is actually a pretty shade and the larabar is YUMMY! Good luck!

Called bb this morning and she comped my August box and said they are checking their inventory and may also send us the boxes we were supposed to get, in addition to the free August box. Yay!

Yay that's so great! When I called she said they were out of stock but I'm beginning to think it was a fluke because I'm not the only person it happened to. Here's to hoping they send the box!!

 Just got my 3 month code too!  There isn't really anything I'm dying to get though..

Also for those of you who like beauty blenders, what's so special about them?  Is there a certain way to use them?  I tried using it with my BB cream and it doesn't seem to look as good as just using my finger, but I was just kind of dabbing/pressing it on my face so maybe I'm missing something about the technique...

I Love birchbox! I have experienced excellent customer service and sampled some great products. I cancelled all three accounts I had with them to help me make the switch over to more natural/organic products. Ugh I feel like this is a break up! lol

 I guess now I will just have to oogle over everyone eles's goodies each month!

 

[tina88]

thats so weird i never got a 3 month code or a 6month code =(

Yeah she said they informed all of the customer service people about it this morning, so they must've got a lot of calls. I really hope they do have them in stock too- 3 boxes for $10 definitely isn't a bad deal

You run some water on it, wring out the excess water, then put the foundation/primer/bbcream on it and stiple it on your face. There are many videos of how to use it on youtube, once you figure it out you will love it

Anyone else try out their earbuds? I was really excited for them cuz I love the colors but I tried the, and heard no bass coming through in the music at all, only the treble! I'm pretty sure they're busted cuz even cheap headphones sound decent! I emailed BB about it, we will see!

 Thanks!  I completely missed the water part.  I'll try that tomorrow /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I got my boxxxxx!!! Projected delivery date was 7/16 which bummed me out since I live so close to where BB ships from but I got it today!

My husband threw away the carton but I got:

Spoiler

The headphones, lemongrass mints, Annick Goutal Eau de H'adrien perfume sample, Bosica BB cream deluxe sample, full-sized Stila Lip Glaze in "Action", and a color club nail polish in "Blue-Ming"

I like everything honestly! I'm not sure if the nail polish is fs or not, it doesn't have info in how much is in the bottle but I believe it's not fs which is alright. I was happy got get the BB sample, unfortunately it's about 3 shades too dark

Anyone hab a rec for a super super pale BB cream? I tried most at Sephora but nothing is light enough for me. I want to order from Skin79 or Leolie but I don't know which one would be a possible match. The perfume smell really, really good, I'll def use the sample. The fs lip glaze is nice, not my color per se but maybe I'll swap it or give it away! Overall I'm very very pleased this month! Last month was okay but this box is great!

Question: did you check your shipping info before you got it and did it update?  I have the same projected delivery date and I', only an hour or two from where it's shipping, but my info on ups/usps has not updated.  Curious cause it's my birthday and I'm desperately hoping to get my box today.

Love the Amika mask.  Got the sample and then bought the big yellow tub with points and discount.  It works like a dream and leaves my hair soft and shiny.  It smells "warm" to me--faintly of vanilla and berries.

LOVE the Nourishing mask, I too bought the large tub with a discount and points! I use a generous amount once a week and it leaves my very dry and color damaged hair feeling amazing and the smell is great too!

I really like the Skin79 bb cream. I have the gold version (I have dry skin) but I think it would work for normal skin as well. It looks really natural! And it's pretty cheap.

General question: does everyone get an intro box or only yearly members?

When I got my first box in april, it was an intro box. I wasnt thrilled with it, actually it was my worst box. the best part was the kerestase sample.

I subscribed for yearly and I didn't get an intro box.

 

[arendish]

Got the wrong box. I was supposed to get #3 but got #15 instead. Honestly, I'm happier with 15, so it was a better deal for me. I was wanting to try those mints and the Boscia blotting papers. The Stila gloss is prettier than I thought it would be, but I don't know if I should open it or trade it (I got Lights). I gave BB a call, but I just got voicemail. Hopefully they'll respond to me. Also, I gifted myself another subscription with my points! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Lol, that's actually really funny because a few of us were supposed to get 15 and got 3. Must have mixed it up in the system somehow. If you call them they'll comp you your august box!

What kind of mints did you get? /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
