Birchbox Points: What did or will you buy?

[mellee]

Hubby had ordered me a Christmas gift that needed to be cancelled (6 months of Natural Beauty Box.  When they decided not to send January, we asked for our $ back), so I was owed a gift.  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  My 6 month code came in Wednesday and even though we only had $10 in points, I asked for the Clarisonic Mia.  It came in today.  Yay!  Used it for the first time tonight.  I have rosacea so my skin's pretty sensitive and I'm nervous, but hopefully it'll work its magic without too much horrible adjustment time.

In the past, I got the Talika Lash Conditioning Cleanser, which made my lids bright red and itchy and sensitive and swollen (took almost a month to realize it was from that and not a random allergy) and Stila In The Light palette. The palette came with a Smudge Stick and I found I LOVE it for tightlining, so I plan to buy more of those with future points.  Black and brown, at least.

I got the Vasanti Enzymatic Face Cleanser, Malin+Goetz Peppermint Shampoo, and Zoya Polish Remove+ for 3.99. Free Shipping. I had 600 points that I used. O already have 150 points again, and when I get to 200 I'm going to get the 3 Zoya Blogger Polishes.

My last purchase was theBalm Tall, Dark, and Handsome mascara, Sprout makeup remover, and a box of Chuao chocopods.

I want to try to save my points up all year and buy myself something pretty for Christmas, though...maybe a palette, or a Clarisonic, or a new perfume...ugh so many things I want.

Here's what I ended up using my points and discounts to buy. I have been wanting to try the Alicia Silverstone for Juice Beauty products for a long time. I haven't tried the CC cream, so I am hoping it works for me. I love the Kusmi tea so was happy to see them in the Pick Two sample packs. I've heard the eye masks are really good.

I completely spaced the fact that this is the 9-month anniversary for my secondary accounts!  And one of them had a little over 300 points, so...

• stila smudge stock waterproof eye liner in Blue Ribbon
• Caudalie Shower Gel in The des Vignes (this triggered the free shipping)
• Tweezerman Filemate
• Pick Two:  Gloss Moderne Masque & Dr. Jart Waterfuse  BB Cream

Before discounts:  $47.  After anniversary code and Pick Two discount:  $29.60.  After points:  Nada.  I really just wanted the liner, but I have a little over 300 points on this account and a discount code, so I decided I might as well order these items.  I can always use another file, and I've been coveting this shower gel for a while despite the fact that I have literally a dozen bottles from the last time I had a good coupon at B&BW at the same time they were having a big sale (plus I was having a hard time figuring out what else to get in order to get free shipping).

I waited for theBalm Bon Jovi Rockstar palette that they discounted for $25.00. I had 500 points -- therefore it was free /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Just ordered this today. Haven't ever tried the Benefit High Brow so I hope I like it. Received a sample of the HP Skinny Chic in my Jan BB and loved it! Now I only have 5 points and have to start saving again.

I'm holding out for the Clark's Smoothing Marine Cream. 498 points that will be good until July!  Come on points!

For the future, I want to get the Wei Golden Root Mud Mask and the Amika Hair Mask.

I bought the Wei Mask a long time ago with my points, and I use it once a week.  I've still got so much left too!  I only use a little.  I think I also got the Amika mask with that order too come to think about it.  It smells so good!

I used 400 points and the anniversary code and ordered the Juice Beauty Stem Cellular Repair Eye Treatment and got the free pick-two with the Kusmi Tea & Masqueology Eye Mask. I am not sure about those of you who don't live in NY but I have to factor in the tax. (boo hoo!) Next month after I review a few more things I will be back above 300 points and can start figuring out what to splurge on/save for next.

If Birchbox started carrying Tokyomilk, though, I would run through those points *very* quickly. 

From your keyboard to Birchbox's brand partnership people I hope!! Just wore my first Tokyomilk fragrance today (from a trade) and I want to try others. Would love mini rollerballs.

yeah, I was reading the reviews on it and pretty much everyone said you can get two to three masks out of each pod, plus I love that it comes with a brush. I am totally looking forward to trying the Amika, seems like the fragrance would be nice for summertime. I am still waiting for my order to arrive, but am down to 20 points now. I wonder if they will run another upgrade to a year points promo later in the year. I heard the code still works but I need to wait about a month to do that.

I didn't realize Birchbox sold it!  I was going to buy it from Sephora so I could get points, but I think I'll save up my Birchbox points instead.  Thank you!

When I placed my last order, I chose the eye mask and Kusmi tea as my pick-two. I was not really eager about either...the eye mask sounded interesting and I like tea, although each I've received from a beauty box has not been for me. Basically I picked this because I really didn't want the others or had tried them.

The Kusmi Tea is SO good! I drank the Euphoria and enjoyed it so much I made the Detox too. I can't believe this but I am considering spending some of my hoarded points...on tea. The Wellness Pack. Crazy.

I got the tea in my December box..and fell in love!  I had planned to buy it next month with my 9 month anniversary code and points.  I saw it as the pick 2 and I think I'm going to place my order tonight to get my double points for spending $35 and get the tea as my pick 2 to satisfy me until Feb!

 

[Jackieblue]

Yeah, there went my points. I had to use the free ship code so I couldn't use the 15% off. Probably a good time to buy because since I was shy of 300 points I could pay the tax and the few extra bucks out of pocket instead of being stuck using the 300 points. I have been drinking more tea since I stopped sweetening my coffee, so this delicious stuff is worth it. I also look forward to trying the other wellness teas.

 

[audiophilekate]

I caved and used the points (plus the 15% off code) on one of my accounts for the 30ml Embryolisse cream.  It's a shame it comes in such tiny containers.  I ordered the Benta Berry moisturizer (which comes in a 30ml tube) in November because I loved the scent.  I really should have done the math before placing the order - 30ml is pretty small.  At least it's bigger than the sample.  

 

[kawaiiwoofs]

I just used 300 points on a jigger (part of a birthday present for my boyfriend) and the Kusmi essentials pack! There was a 15% off code? /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I also would've used the lovebbman code but i forgot. I wonder if they'll let me redo it...probably not. oh well!
