Birchbox: December 2012 - Page 33

The bourbon vanilla sounds nice, i'll have to go to Shea Terra's website.  Also, wouldn't mind the rooibos and berries since you say the scent isn't too strong.  Thank you :)

I sampled the bourbon vanilla and loved the scent. I'm working my way through a full size of the white chocolate now and really like that one, too. Lol, I think they're probably all pretty nice and you can't go wrong with any choice.

I'm really excited to get my box because its shipped so early for me this month!

Sorry, I thought you meant in general!  They definitely should refund the 200 then.  Although, to be honest, I feel like they are pretty clear about about only being able to use points in increments of 100, and don't feel that much sympathy for this mistake.  (Otherwise, people would just be able to apply every ten points for a $1 off a purchase).  It would be different if they didn't state it plainly on the points page.

 

But it still is lame for bb to make you to basically lose out twice.

I always end up paying $1-$10 on BB orders because they deduct on a 100 point basis. So I'd rather pay a few dollars out of pocket than lose up to X amount of points lol. Usually what takes me the longest is determining how to spend and get the most bang for my buck between two accounts and get some free shipping tossed in. I just depleted points on both accounts though, so I probably won't make any more orders til March or April.. April's my Bday month, so maybe I'll wait til then and go nuts lol.

Still no shipping/tracking info for me yet :( Hopefully all of us that haven't had our boxes shipped out yet will get the info soon! I'm really curious what the December boxes are going to have.

I got a notice on my main account and the weight is .554 with a delivery date of 12/11. This account has been getting delivered 1-3 days later than estimated for the last three months, though. But, by tomorrow my page should update and the contents revealed! Hope I get one of the boxes some of you ladies are already revealing. Nothing to report on account #2 yet.

So, I just went on the Shea Terra website.  I was not prepared for all of the amazing things they have.    I just added like 6 things to my cart.  

It does blend nicely, but yep, it's super pale.  Kinda along the lines of Mary Lou-maizer.  Definitely not an illuminating blush.  It's strictly a highlighter.

If you haven't already and didn't know, sign up for notification of sales and wait a week or so.  A few weeks at the mid-to-end of each month they have 30% off everything.  =)  ( <- Edit to add smiley so I sound helpful rather than bossy!  )

 

The sale is already on this month! The code is dec2012.

 

I ordered the little body whippers for all my female co-workers. Super excited to hear what they think :)

Oh, wow!  They're early this month!  Huh!

Me neither! Every time I see that someone else got their shipping info, I check my email... then go check the BB website... JUST IN CASE.  This staggered shipment thing is killin' me!  It's my first box, so I'm trying to be patient.  It's not working 

Surprisingly, I found them at Walmart in my area for $3.98..they only had Spicy Maya and Firecraker though, so sad for me..I can't handle peppers well.

i did the same with loose mineral foundation, i think it worked well actually!

My shipping JUST updated...no tracking info though

thanks for everyones help! i have both pressed and loose so i'll try it with both.  

 

How much do you have to spend for the 30% discount? 

anyone know where i can find a list of this month's boxes?

 

Thanks for the tip and code  :)  The little whippers make a cute gift!

Thanks! I might pass on that, even though it's a good deal because I already have a paler one I'm using up and I really loved that rose one! i'm gonna have to save up and get it with points!

This is slightly off topic, but is there a way to make a "wish list" sort of thing in Birchbox? I have fun looking around and flagging things the next shampoo I might wanna try when I run out, ect. ect. and I know I will never remember by the time I'm ready to purchase but I hate leaving everything in my shopping cart..

I got my Chuao firecracker bar from my walmart. Google chuao (I think it only works for the firecracker one) firecracker at walmart and it will pull up the link. You cant order it online but you type in your zipcode to search for the closest walmart near you that carries chuao! At my location they had firecracker and the spicy one. Hope that works for you :)

There's no minimum. You do have to spend $75 for free shipping though, otherwise it's like $6 or $7.

 

I found that when I used the code the free shipping didn't apply until I hit over $150 before the discount. But I was actually planning on spending that much anyway... so it didn't really matter. It just surprised me because it wasn't entirely clear why that was the case..

I was just doing a bit of Christmas shopping on the website and it went down for maintenance. Box updates perhaps? 

I sure hope so!! I can't wait to see the boxes and try to figure out which could be mine :)

 

 

For those of y'all who have tried the Chuao, what flavours did you like best? I'm thinking of popping by to the nearest HEB to grab some as stocking stuffers for my family.

That weight is exactly the weight of mine (.5070).  I hope I get at least one good thing!

I have .5070 as the weight of my  package.

That's the same weight of my box!  Due on the 13th!!
