Mine's finally out for delivery, too. I will be very frustrated if the same thing happens with my regular BB as it did with this one (the "expected delivery" being a lot earlier than the reality)

That's what happened to me too. I wonder if they'd change shippers if enough people complain.

Both of mine are being delivered today, one to work and one at home. I also got my Sample Society box at work today. Its definitely a good Monday now  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[yanelib27]

I was just saying on another thread that my Sample Society box was delivered 2 days ahead of schedule. Both of my BBs will be delivered 2 days AFTER the projected delivery date. However, the Sample Society box is 15.00 a month with true DELUXE samples.
I believe the retail value for March's box is around $50. The full size eye pen alone is 20.00 and the Dermalogica is 8.50.. plus the rest of the stuff in there.

So I legitimately CANNOT open my tarte lip stuff. :

My box showed the lighter pink shade of Tarte and a Pinkish looking shade of Essie. I received my box today and actually got the Tarte in Amused which is the hotter pink shade and the Essie was silver! So my box page on the size was not what I received. Hope this helps. I will say I am waaaaaay more pleases this month than I have been in months!

This is my first Birchbox and it came damaged! What do I do? 

 

[yanelib27]

Check out what I got! Box 2 and I am keeping everything in it /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

The Tarte in color 'Peaceful' is more nude than orange, and sheer. I am wearing it now and I love how moisturizing it is.

I love the Essie in color A Cut Above. I like the perfume sample, am wearing that now as well. And I will even get use out of the Twistband, and I am glad it was not in a neon color.

the cap is stuck? mine came off with just a little force, but be careful because the bottom is a twist knob that will turn the product up, so you may end up ruining the product if you twist it into the cap.

thats terrible, call or email them and let them know!

I heard that one is also a nice, sheer shade, have you tried it?

Someone on Sephora in the reviews said its a known issue, so I'm either going to email birchbox or take it to sephora to trade...probably opt for the bb route since I feel bad taking the product to wear I didn't get it from.

My box is in CALIFORNIA!? it was supposed to be delivered on Friday and now its in another state. I live in NEVADA. It passed me up on its way, wtf!

I hope I don't get that color Tarte. I don't think I can pull off the nude lip look at all!

But that has a lot to do with the fact that I suck at makeup.

I hope I get that pink Essie though!

If you tell BB about it I doubt they will send you another one, they most likely will offer you 100 points, not even the full value of the lip tint..

I have been lucky that they always match the colors they give me to my complexion. They did it with this box and also with the Exude lipstick I got last month. I know some people havent been as lucky, but thankfully they seem to coordinate what they send me to my profile very well.

I've been 100% happy with BB. This is my second month of the subscription, but the first month was awesome too. I waited almost a year to get a subscription (I gifted my SIL a 3 month for her 30th bday last year), lurking beauty review blogs before I finally bit. I wish I had joined for January, that month looked way awesome. When I can afford the $110 all at once, I'm going to upgrade to a yearly subscription,  I think.

Has anyone posted pictures of what the Essie polishes look like on?

 

[SmokeyEye22]

Got my box today! I got the Tarte LipSurgence in Joy which is orange. I am a fair toned red head so I'm not so sure this will match my skintone. Also got the polish in the pink sparkle. I did receive a twist band in orange but I've already received those before and dont' they say we won't get the same product twice? Also got the 10 pack of blotting sheets and a wonderful french perfume!

 

[yanelib27]

Do you like the perfume? It smells like a mix of flowers and soap to me. Nice sweet smelling soap.
