(SPOILERS) July Birchbox partners with Glamour Magazine

[cheetahchirps]

Does anyone have the green eyeliner who wants a purple? I got two purples, so it would be nice to have another color to have. Even black would be okay too.

That's the one that seems to be scarce. I can't even find it for trade. Good luck.

But I can't pass this up for the same reason as you

Hahha, yesterday and today you got me! But its been a while since I binged on beauty products, so it feels kind of good, lol. Some of the stuff will be going on e-bay, though.

I wore the Juliette has a Gun Lady Vengeance out tonight, and I was shocked that my boyfriend LOVES it. I've been trying to find something he likes on me that isn't really fruity and young. I tend to like florals. He told me it smells like dirty roses, in a good way. It's a sexy smell, but not like come-hither flirty sexy, but like filthy explicit sexy. I think I might have to get that $10 sampler to see if they are all so interesting.

Yes I'm kind of obsessed.

Well, you definitely sold me on trying this brand. Ordered the sampler from France this morning!

Someone in an older post said they hadn't received it yet and were worried it was lost. Please let us know when you receive it. I wish it had tracking and I'm too chicken to order.

The Finding Mr Bright kit currently retails on Benefit's site for $28 (normally $38). With points, I managed to get the cost of the entire box down to 8.40....I kinda had to do it at that point.....even though it violates my low buy for the month, since the CEW box took me to my "limit"

Good, it's starting to sound like a better deal now.

Julep Recycles their colors too. I got a new shade for summer in this months Maven box, and it's the same as last years Miranda, which was in their Summer Set for 2011.

It does bother me a little bit when they do that because it sucks to get the same exact color you already own, and it would be nice for people who loved the color the first time around to know so they could have a chance to restock if they wanted to.

I saw the Color Club polishes at our local Rite Aid, and there wasn't that big of a display. I think there were 10 different colors, some were neons and some pastels.

I guess its standard practice then. I just hope it has nothing to do with some of the polishes seeming thick with streaky application. When I saw they sent out Coral Cascade as Clambake Coral, that kinda bothered me. Maybe they thought it would sell better under a new name.

A question for the BB experts out there..... I just received my 9 month discount coupon and wanted to order a few things. I called to place the order and I think it must have been the CS' rep first day because I totally confused her. My question is this, when it comes to redeeming points, is it possible to only use some of the points you've saved or do you have to use them all at once? I have a 500 points balance and I wanted to put 200 of them towards this order and pay for the rest via credit card. If you guys tell me that it is possible, I'll call back and hopefully get a more experienced rep.

Will do. I am not expecting it very soon as it has to come from France. The payment method is PayPal so if something were to happen I think it would be pretty easy to get your money back.

Haha well I hope you like some of it so I don't feel bad about the 11 dollars!  

 

[sweetiegirlll]

You all put me over the edge!  I did it.  8.90 Euros = $11.23 today.  How convenient that I can skip Beauty Army today, that totally justifies it in my head.  Funny how that works.  It's pretty strange though that if I got 6 perfumes from Beauty Army, I'd be annoyed but I'm ordering 8 vials from France . . . 

Okay, not a perfume?  Does that mean that it's oils?  The descriptions sound amazing.  And I'm sure if there are any that I sniff and that I don't love, someone else would love on the trade boards.  Cool.  I might be leaning more toward the inclusion on perfumes with Birchbox, because weirdly enough, I'm enjoying it.  I say weirdly, because my Mom has an extreme perfume allergy and I've not worn perfumes for her and my Grandmother, who also has it.  Even though I live in a different country.  Yes.  I guess I'm afraid that if both have it, I might get it too, in the future.  It's a symptom of extreme senses, in their case, smell, due to fibromyalgia.  I have light triggers that trigger migraines but their trigger is scent.  So even if it's not a true "allergy", it lays them out in bed for days with a migraine if they get overwhelmed by perfume.  So I do think Birchbox could/should maybe? have a perfume free option, but if I hadn't gotten/heard about Juliette with a Gun and others like Harvey Prince, etc, I'd be missing out, so I guess I'm on team perfume.  Who'd a thought?

I really do miss a good perfume and my sweetie loves it on me.  So we'll see how these ones work for my chemistry.  High hopes!

 

[Jackieblue]

There are EIGHT samples. Chances are very good that there will be something I like. I figure the cost is similar to a Birchbox but I already know I want to at least try everything in it!

Weird because I thought it was $10.89 earlier today

Yup, we're holding you solely responsible.  You temptress.

Strange!  Could be it fluctuates so much during the day . . .  it was 7.89 + 1 Euro for shipping = 8.89 or something similar, right?  Maybe they're calculating it differently from where I'm sending it from, my computer in Belize, they can see my IP address, but my Paypal is in the States . . . probably just fluctuation.  Did you notice there was no place to put your State?  I just put it in under my address, it just said, Address, Town and then Country.  I don't think there are two West Palm Beaches, lol, but there are two of other towns/cities.  I hope it'll get there before I do, which is about a month.  Should be fine.  Looking forward to it!

Doesn't Essie use the name Clambake Coral? Wondering if that's the reason for the change? To make the name more recognizable possibly, but not cool to copy.

If you are paying with points, you have to either exhaust your points or pay for the whole order with points, so no, you can't have a remaining points balance and pay with your credit card.

I'm so thankful for you guys for saying something about this. I've been saving up my points and I would have been really disappointed had a I lost a bunch of points because they don't really tell you about it. You guys have saved me some major grief (and now I have less of a reason to save up points for a long time, as soon as I have points for something I want, I'll spend it!)

What Jenna posted.

Say your order came to $20.95 and you have 500 points you would have to use the whole 300 points ($30) towards the payment which means you essentially lose $9.05 worth of points. Either bring your total down to below the amount you have or more than the amount you have. So say your order ended up as $19.95 then they'll apply the 200 points meaning you've only "lost" 5 cents worth OR order $50.01 and pay the penny more out of pocket. Make sense?

It's still pretty nice to save up points though. I know I don't usually wait to long because I like to splurge sooner rather than later, but this week I basically got $65 of number 4 hair products for $16. I had 400 points, plus a 20% off coupon. I had 407 points and waited till after using the points to review the rest of my items so that I didn't waste those extra points for nothing (since they use points by increments of 100)

 

[cheetahchirps]

MMMMM, BB  has Larabar Ubers back in stock. I still think it's a little expensive for what you get. I think someone mentioned a while back that they had them at Costco, will have to check.

Oh really? Now I learned something too. Has it always been this way?

When I called CS before they told me the only option was to used all the points, or none. So if my order came to $20 and I had 500 points, they would all be gone. If that's not the case, than that's pretty good!
