It's AWESOME. I love it. It tasted exactly like apple pie.

I'm so disappointed with my Birchbox this month. My profile says classic.....so you send me purple eye liner? My skin says dry so you send my blotting papers? My skin is fair so you send me a golden sample of jour? My perfume had leaked....do sad. Customer service will be finding out! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

OK, I'm yet ANOTHER customer who should have received box 15, and instead got box 3. I've been following all of the conversation on here, so I was pretty sure this was going to happen, but I waited until I actually got my box today to make sure. I am BEYOND ticked off. I really, really wanted to try the hair mask I SHOULD have received, and I also wanted to try the mints and the Juliette perfume. Instead, I received the Jouer LMT, Oscar perfume, and Alterna spray. In the past 2 months, I have gotten all of these items from Sample Society. I know that's not BB's fault, but the fact that I waited 4 days, thinking I was going to get 3 products I was excited about, only to find that they were replaced with items I already had, just makes me ANGRY!!! And to add insult to injury, my Jouer is in bronzed. I'm so pale, I've been referred to as a ghost.

My question is - has anybody been offered ANYthing besides next month free? I'm sorry, but I don't care if they give me next month free! All my bills like this go on my mom's cc, and I give her one big check every month. What's $10, really, when you do it that way? I'm calling them Monday, and I'm going to ask if they can at least send me samples of the hair mask or the perfume. I understand maybe not having the whole box lying around to send everyone, but since they're so keen on recycling samples anyway (for months on end!) they should have individual ones that they could send out. TBH, it was THEIR mistake! I have always LOVED Birchbox. Even when other people were complaining, I never felt it worth my time to call them. I even got the mostly empty Dr. Jart the first month they sent it out. I was able to cover my face once, albeit sparingly, so I didn't feel that I needed to contact them for another sample. However, this time, I was just too excited for something that never came. Does anyone else feel this way? I feel like I'm complaining needlessly, but, to me, offering next month free is not enough.

Roasted nut wasn't yummy? /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

If I hadn't chowed down on it already, I would've traded you /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />))

That just seems like the prime example of profiles not matching boxes. I'd be interested to hear from bb on how they use our profiles to determine what we receive.

i ate mine too! can't trade now...haha. i don't really like things with no taste, so i think the apple turnover would be a better choice for me. :

what does the: amika Obliphica Nourishing Mask, smell like? i might get it if it smells nice. i want to try it...

i've been reading through these forums for a while and once say that someone said that if you want to stop recieving a certain product then to write down thats what you splurge on in the profiles. So i dont want to recieve nail polish ever, do i write that its what i splurge on? i wasnt sure if that person was joking or not. if someone could clarify this for me then i'd be really grateful /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Your not alone, I'm still waiting for my 2nd notice also. I'm stalking my email like crazy... /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

So I mentioned before that I was getting a repeat product, Jouer lipgloss, in my box. It is not technically the same product because it is a different color. However, when I went to leave feedback so I could get my points, it wouldn't let me. I said that I already gave feedback on this product and can only do it once per product. So, according to their feedback system it is the same product. I emailed them about it, hopefully they will give me my 10 points.

I have a little theory on the different sized samples of the Jouer LMT, and I'd be interested to know which boxes had the big and which had the small.

For example, I got Box #2 on one of my accounts with a small, 0.07 oz LMT. I also got a beauty blender and one of the lip glazes. Because I think the lip glaze is pretty big and the beautyblender is full-sized, I'm not complaining. If they only had so many big ones and so many small ones, I'd say that I deserved to get a smaller one.

I'm curious if this is the case, that the people who got the bigger ones had maybe smaller other samples and vice versa. After all, if the company only gives them so many bigger samples, it should go to people who maybe didn't get some of the other samples. Can't complain on that.

(Though I did get bronzed this time around, while last time on my main I got golden. I'm kind of unsure about how it's going to look.)

This is my first month with bb I am just wondering how do you guys get the number of what box your getting. Thank you

 

[pandoraspocks]

I got my box today. It was #6. You guys were totally right about the headphones and color club polish. I really love the blue ming color too, so I'm pretty bummed about it. If only it had been a Zoya. I was also excited about the Stila lip glaze, but I got it in camera. It's a beautiful color, but it's loaded with glitter and I hate glitter lip glosses. Are the other shades in the boxes glitter too, or are there cream ones? I tried to google, but apparently the set in the boxes is a BB exclusive. I also got the Teaforte mints in the one flavor I was apprehensive about (lemongrass) and I'm not loving them. I've had the chai ones and loved them, so if anyone is trying to get rid of theirs let me know.

I already posted in the trade thread, but I'll put it here too:

I'm looking to trade items from my July BB for the Eyeko Skinny Liner in Black. I'm willing to trade multiple items.

July BB:

Boscia BB Cream

Color Club polish in Blue Ming

Annick Goutal perfume

Stila Lip Glaze in Camera

PM me if you're interested.

I will trade you my black Eyeko liquid liner for your purple one.

Still no shipment email here but guess what?! I logged in to my 2nd bb account and my box has updated! There is also a tracking number, though it doesnt track anywhere yet so I'm guessing it'll go out monday. It wasnt updated earlier today, so try logging in if you haven't already. I'm getting the exact same box as my first acct, box 26, so I'm kinda disappointed. I was hoping for 25 or 27, so I could get a liner or stila bb cream. I've been hooked since dr. jart-gate. (they sent me 2 more samples since mine was empty, and one had enough to do my makeup twice.) I got a deluxe Jouer sample in bronzed from ss that is way too dark, and since theyre not sending me my color its going up for trade if anyone wants it.

Your not alone, I'm still waiting for my 2nd notice also. I'm stalking my email like crazy... /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 idk how true this is.  I have perfume as my splurge and i have received it in every birchbox--plus same one twice.  but i have read that others put it as their splurge and dont get it.  i think it is just hit or miss.

 good luck!!  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  i know i have been trying to get points for getting the same scent/brand of perfume.  They keep telling me i got a different scent... i didnt, but either way i cant leave feedback either :{  seems like lots of screw ups this month....

I didn't get the mail this afternoon and no one told me that my Birchbox has been here all day!  I was supposed to get box 3 and got it, leaving me out of the mix up group.  I guess I'll be digging into it tomorrow... 

 

[PeridotCricket]

Anybody looking to trade the Eyeko Skinny Liquid Eyeliner? I got it in Black. I want the one in Purple.

 

[glamourdolleyes]

If people with box 15 are getting box 3, does that mean people with box 3 are getting 15? I am supposed to get a box 3 and they're both good boxes so I don't mind either way. Just want to know what to expect lol
