Hm, maybe, but I feel like a lot of people here were extraordinarily unhappy with them too, whereas the last few months people on MUT have at least been defending BB/not entirely happy but at least not threatening to quit. I think a number of members did quit, and then picked their subscription back up.
This gives me hope that they will slowly roll out color products since this seems like a longterm thing. Now to go whine at Birchbox to see if they can get those pencils added to their store. They currently just have Marcelle BB cream, concealer, and mascara.
I love the build-a-sample box swap idea!
Haven't gotten anything....yet. Hopefully we will though!Originally Posted by kawaiimeows /img/forum/go_quote.gif

Passing on this one....MUST SAVE $$!Originally Posted by ydlr20 /img/forum/go_quote.gif

Birchbox Limited Edition Box Fit for a Superwoman...
Same, my real life friends who subscribe to birchbox and birchbox man LOVE IT. They are in it for the samples and new things to try, and don't feel "sampled out" because its the only one they have. I bought my sister a 3 month gift sub and she renewed for a year without even thinking about it. I don't think birchbox has any problem keeping its subscribers happy in a big picture way.
Agreed, I absolutely love the idea of Birchbox, and I have a subscription for Birchbox Man as well for my boyfriend. While I don't get everything I want each month, it's so much fun trying to find spoilers and figure out what I might receive that it just makes it worth it to me. Plus the points, I've saved a ton of money on the items I've purchased thus far by taking advantage of their point system.
I'm thinking about it. It is a bit annoying that these limited edition boxes are coming out at the same time. Glossybox came out with theirs yesterday. It would be nice if they timed it so that so at least a month or so would pass in between limted/special edition boxes.
The extreme couponing part made me LOL, but then when I thought about it, it's really true. Seeing people say that they got samples they didn't want or didn't like BUT then saying they didn't even try them just defeats the whole purpose of it. The purpose of the box shouldn't be the good deal you scored, I think that's what the points are for.
I agree here. If I don't get what I want, I just save my points up (getting my box and my man box really helps I get at least 100 points every month) so it's really easy to save up and get what I really wanted from them.
/emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Birchbox has been an amazing value! I used to keep track of the values of everything I got in sample boxes so I could easily compare them. I got my $110 worth of stuff within like the first 3 months and the rest of the year was all extra- plus I made a really great points order. I paid $13 for like $114 worth of stuff from their store. 
This. Sometimes I'm disappointed with a box but I just collect my points and try the product. So far I haven't ended up *Loving* any product I initially thought wasn't a good fit, but I've been pleasantly surprised by quite a few even if I wouldn't ultimately go out and buy them. I wouldn't go so far as to say the beauty boxes are 'entertainment' for me like someone else did (I am hoping to find products I love and want to purchase in full size) but I also don't take them seriously- if there isn't a product like that one month or two months or even three in a row I just try to be happy about the points and happy I get to save my money- falling in love with supergoop, for example, has been really expensive

I think they're super cute too! I saw them a few days ago on the urban outfitters website for $10 but I don't know what I'd use it for either!
/emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> In a recent interview, Katia and Haley said they have over 300,000 subscribers, and I know they have quite a bit of high profile venture capitalists backing them, in addition the the profits Birchbox earns. Even if all of the complainers on Facebook canceled, it wouldn't make a dent in 300,000+ total subscribers, and many more on the waitlist. 300,000+ subscribers also makes me understand why there are so many box variations.
