Birchbox: December 2012 - Page 60

« Back to Group Discussions

Katie - this is truly an awesome box.  I agree: This is what BB is meant to be like! While I actually love the lipgloss I got, I must admit that I have box envy! I loved the cookie as well - I e-mailed them gave them a review - still don't have points for my review.

Super excited for the hair treatment, the facial moisturizer (it has hyluronic (?) acid which is great for winter and my rosacea). The Fresh perfume smells divine (pinot noir, grapefruit, neroli, bitter Orange, lemongrass, jasmine, cedarwood, white sandalwood, birch tree leaves) and I will definitely re-purchase-but look at the great sample size! (It's a spray, not rollerball). Finally, I was listing for the Hot Mama, and the boyfran and I thought the fortune cookie was delish. Birchbox really knocked it out for me this month.
I also got my Ipsy! I'll post about that in the respective thread. So happy!

Please tell me that my Hot Mama is not the only one that came smudged and fingerprinted. Please say it's designed to look that way.

I really want to see what this mysterious fingerprint/magnet print looks like LOL

off topic. Does anyone own the One Love Organics Body Serum in Rose? I'm thinking about getting it w/some of my points although I have yet to smell it. I typically like any rose scented. I was hoping to get the BB sample in a trade or on ebay but I haven't been able to.

I got a sample in my box last month. It's pretty amazing.... honestly, if it wasn't so expensive I would definitely get more. I would say it's more of a pure rose smell, not at all powdery or "old lady-ish."

Thanks. I might have to splurge and cash in some points!!

I love it!  I bought the full-size with points and a 25% off coupon.  

I also got the duo body serum in lavender and neroli.  The rose is by far the best of the three scent-wise in my opinion, followed by lavender and then the neroli.

I haven't bought anything from the bb store in a while and I'm behind on the points system usage since it useeed to be different.  So say I spend $19 and I want to use my points (I have 380)  are they going to use all of them or just 200 ($20 worth).  Because the only option at checkout is to "use points 300"?  which seems silly to me.

It will just take 200

Thank you ladies!  I miss when you could just check a box next to the number of points you wanted to use (20, 30, 40, etc).

that's a good idea but if they implement it it would probably be just as long as they "create" the opt out of food/perfume feature

I just bought 7 boxes of chuao

I got a plus 2 pack for free, used 200 points, a 20% off code, and paid just under $25. 7 people off my checklist!

Second purchase from the BB store in 2 days. Going to make a third soon. Everyone's getting Birchbox gifts this year!

I got my second box today! I like it a lot but I am kind of disappointed in Miss Jessie's® Original Pillow Soft Curls because they came in these bulky packets. I guess I am going to have to try and use it and save it? All of my other Miss Jessie's samples have come in tubes or jars =(

Here's what I got!

Grrrr! BB switched my box. I was getting Box 27 but now I am getting Box 29. I would have preferred the first box. Did this happen to anyone else? Sorry if this has been mentioned, but I am way behind on the message board. I have only read up to page 45.  I guess I have an extra item to review for points...yeah...I will just look at it like that because I am just fuming about the TWO perfume samples! Not too excited about the foot cream either....(sigh).....

Oh thank god this box was so much better than November..ok except the RTR giftcard. Really? No. If anyone wants please let me know. I posted a review in my brand new, fledgling beauty blog if any one wants to check it out and give me feedback:) Btw was that CC cream uber yellow on anyone else?

I've sampled the Pink Guavas and Pomegranates, Bourbon Vanilla (not so sweet), Mango, Gingered Pumpkin and White Chocolate, and I like them in that order.  I tend to prefer more fruity scents though, so it just depends on what you normally like the best.  The white chocolate for me is really, really sweet smelling.  I kind of wanted to take a bite out of my feet after I put it on it smelled so authentic.  The Rooibos Berries I haven't tried, but it's probably pleasant like the Pink Guavas.

Hope it's ok to post this here, if not, I can get rid of it. I just made a Birchbox video and if any of you like those kinds of videos, it would mean the world if you took the time to watch it. I love watching everyone else show what they got in their boxes. I don't think I've ever gotten mine this early. :D Thanks guys.

Haha, wow I thought it only came in one scent and I knew I didn't like banana so I just moved on. Those scents sound amazing. I think I need to put this back on my radar. 

Argh, box 29, I wouldn't mind if

I am not amazed, and generally I am pretty happy-go-lucky about stuff like this.

I haven't tried staniac but I have a love-hate relationship with benetint- I feel like I'm go-go speedracer to blend it before I get weird blotches stuck to my face-it sinks in so quickly! But I do love having less makeup on top of my skin...
