I just got my box today. I thought it was pretty good, until it got here. Now, I am really impressed. The shampoo is travel size. The firming serum is quite a bit, too. And I already had a little Mary-Louminizer, but that's not their fault. I love using it for eyeshadow, so I am actually happy to get an extra. They sent me two La Fresh face cloths, so that's something. The Juicy Couture fragrance really does smell like hairspray. lol I mean, there is some hair spray that smells exactly like it. Good to know. Anyway, I really do love my Birchbox for being so consistently good every month for only $10.

I can never figure out if you're supposed to put concealer on under eye circles first....of after your foundation/BB cream? No matter how I do it, it always looks bad :/ I need the secrets girls!

It can be done either way! It's all personal preference. I see most people using their fingers to help warm up the product and blend it better

I was like "why did they send you the top part of a carrot stalk?" and then I realized it was the brush. Email them!

I always put in on after because then you don't need to use as much- I put 3 small dots where it is the darkest then pat it in with my ring finger until blended. Then I layer until I'm happy with it. I've seen contouring tutorials though where they put it on first and have it look almost white then put foundation on top to bring the color back down...I don't have time to spend 1 hour just on my face contouring in the morning though so I do primer, foundation, concealer and it generally works...

 
I placed an order on the 10th and then on the 11th the tracking updated to the "Electronic Shipping Info Received" and nothing has changed since then. Should I give it a few more days, or should I contact someone and should it be BB or USPS? Sorry for the questions, I'm just a little lost.

You should absolutely contact someone. I placed an order on the 12th that I got on the 15th.

 
Wow, so. My boxes are scheduled to be delivered today, in Caldwell, ID...They were in Boise on Tuesday, which is the main stop before Caldwell, usually I get it the next day. BOTH tracking numbers are now showing that they are in Denver, CO. I tracked thru USPS site to confirm. WTF is going on?! I'm hoping my boxes will be in my mailbox today, if not, I'll be calling to find out why my boxes came into the state, then left again to go to CO. I actually thought I would have them for christmas. I'm so livid right now, I'm just hoping its a mistake.

I used 200 points and the RTR code so I only paid $9, and I got a +2 sample pack too. Woohoo!

 
This is so silly. I placed an order with them on Tuesday. It's here already. My birchbox? Still nowhere to be found!

Can I leave feedback on welcome box items? I didn't see it anywhere on my account.

Yup, go to the item in the shop (click the item on your 'box' page), then click the 'write a review' button that is located under the price of the item, next to the social media sharing buttons.

Nothing shows up on my box page...It just shows "Your first box is shipping soon" etc. Does that mean it will eventually update?

Having lived in West Valley, UT with a former postal worker, I can confirm that the mail system is actually pretty good there. I have no idea what the heck is up with your packages, but I'd definitely contact someone soon.

Possibly, since you have already received your box...I would call the BB office and ask them to manually update your box contents. This also happened to my friend for whom I purchased a gift subscription. They updated it when she called.

Side note: When they did update her box contents, it showed different items than what they had sent her. So she called them back and they sent her another box with the contents that they updated her page with. Just an FYI, if that happens, call them back :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Lucky!  I placed an order on Tuesday and it's still hanging out in Jersey.  That + snowpocalypse in WI just may = no Naked Princess Lipgloss in my stocking this year.
