Birchbox Plus Review + Coupon – April 2015

Has anyone noticed that customer service has gone down hill lately. I have yet to receive my April box. I’ve called several times and they either say they will reship or to wait. Finally today May 5th the customer service said I guess we’re out of April sample boxes. She told me she would send me a complimentary June box since I missed the cut off time for May. I had to explain to her over a dozen times it’s technically not complimentary because I’ve already paid for it and have to wait 3 months. After that she still wouldn’t offer me any compensation for the 3 month wait!

I actually used the Beaver shampoo and it just ripped the color out of my hair. The water was actually dark. I was shocked. I have used LOTS of shampoos and that had never happened to me before. That product is total crap. Beware!

This was my first Birchbox and I loved my box. I don’t plan to participate in the chose your sample thing so I can’t comment on that. My box had Cynthia Rowley illuminator wich I’m excited to try,Super Goop eye cream with spf. I’m especially happy about this because most eye cream with spf burns my eyes but Super Goop doesn’t. One of my favorite products. I also got the Wish shave cream in blueberry. Love the scent and how close of a shave it gives. Beauty Protector hair oil. I have really thick hair that is really long-past my butt-and hair oil is always appreciated in sub boxes. Last product was Temple Spa body lotion. Smells amazing,leaves my skin super soft. A fabulous box.

This is my second box. My first box I ordered late in the month and they gave me so-so products, but I thought hey, they are probably giving me left overs. But my second box, I tried MANY MANY MANY times to choose a sample, I wanted the eye shadows because they were so pretty, but the website wouldn’t let me submit my choice for whatever reason. And out of the only 2 boxes I got, I’ve received shampoo and conditioner. I only got one thing I’m really excited to use which is a serum to reduce redness. And I got even a jumbo lip pencil, I’m sort of excited to use. Otherwise I got shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, all that smells bad to me.

I got my Birchbox today – first time with the $30 beta box. I noticed something funny and not sure if this was an error or done on purpose, but my shipping label reads “Ship To: The Bubbly Michelle (insert last name)”… I smiled when I saw this as I’ve not had a good day and whether a mistake or not, I was amused 🙂

Just got my box today and my eye shadow palette was completely smashed. I emailed customer service. Does anyone know if they replace damaged items?

I got my Box today and the tote add on as well. The tote is beautiful and I’ll start carrying it right away, however I’m disappointed that it doesn’t have any pockets! I would like at least a cell phone pocket, but a zippered pocket would have been nice too. Oh well. I got the Jane ireda,e chosen sample and it’s tiny but very cute. I didn’t try it yet. Also got the eye shadow palette, whish shave cream in blueberry, a hair see rum and a facial peel

Very disappointed with this month’s box. I hate getting shampoo and conditioner! I feel that they bring down the value of the box. There is nothing in the box that I will use this month. Having said that, I love the box and am usually happy with BB.

I just got my April box and liked it, but it’s a little frustrating to get items that I know I’d like but in the wrong shade. For example, I got the Jouer lip/cheek tint and I like the texture and the cute little packaging, but I got the orangey one instead of the pink one. I know that’s the way of subscription boxes, so I’ll just suck it up. 🙂 I will say the gorgeous floral box it came in was almost worth the $10 itself — soooo pretty! I can see why many of you also bought the floral tote. I never get emails from BB offering me options like that or offering the chance to get certain samples or special edition boxes (like Mad Men). They don’t even email to say my box has shipped. I wonder why?

I just received my mad men box (love it) and that adorable tote bag. They shipped both together. The tote is very well made and will last I’m sure. I originally purchased this as a gift but I’m keeping it, it will make a great spring/summer tote for sure.

I’ve been subscribing to BB for 9 months now and I have really been trying to happy or even satisfied with what I recieve, however, for the last 3 months I am not feelin the love =(. Honestly, I never receive anything in the sneak peeks and have received both perfume and body care items in my last few boxes. The only 2 items I don’t use. I have taken my quiz over twice and no changes. Does anyone have suggestions? I appreciate all samples and I don’t wish to complain and bring everyone down.

I’m so excited I got the tote! It’s more money I didn’t want to spend BUT I really need a nice pretty spring/summer bag. Everything I own right now is dark. It will be perfect for the pool this summer. 🙂 can’t wait to see what I get in my box…I requested the eye shadow pallette too.

Liz or anyone that can help, Do the plus items, and your box come together? Or do they ship separate? Thanks for the help.

I’m pretty disappointed. Long story short — I used to weigh over 300 lbs, didn’t care what I looked like. Gave up makeup 20 years ago. Recently lost a bunch of weight, started caring again. Figured sample boxes were a good way to “get back into it”. Really want makeup. Birchbox this month was the shaving cream, shampoo, conditioner, a body butter, and LAQA & Co. Sheer Lip Lube Pencil. I’ll use them all, but . . .

I received my tote too! I like it a lot. My box is due to arrive this week. I am receiving:

1. Beaver Shampoo
2. Beaver Conditioner
3. LA Fresh Instant Body Soother
4. Jane Iredale PYS
5. Harvey Prince Hello Body Butter

I feel like I’ve been emailing BirchBox often in the past few weeks. I am unhappy to see a Made in China shampoo and conditioner in my box. Google it. My concerns are the environmental factors. I can’t use it anyway because sulfate agitates my rosacea.

I think a more accurate price estimate for the eyeshadows is $7. I found this palette for $24 with 10 eyeshadows that seem to be the size of the ones that came in your box: http://www.dermstore.com/product_Bright+Up+Your+Life+Palette+-+Naturally+Bare_53972.htm

So each shade would be valued at around $2.4.

I love this box tho, and the tote is SO cute, I wish I added it to mine!

That tote is awesome – I am sooooo jealous right now 🙂

I also got the tote and it surpassed my expectations with the amazing quality of it. It’s cute, but not my style I bought it for a gift for my mom. I think she’ll love it.

I don’t care about the products honestly, I just want that box! It’s sooo cute.

That tote looks really pretty, nicer than it originally looked! I don’t see it anywhere on the website either.
I got the Jane iredale lip (my choice- I’m so glad it’s in the shop now b/c I’ve wanted it since getting it in a different sub), supergoop eye cream, ojin hair oil vial, Harvey prince lotion, and Not soap Radio body wash. Overall I’m happy with my box.

Do you just make another account with a different e-mail if you want multiple boxes?

I am not sure if this works for everyone, but I saw the Rifle paper tote in the shop on the app. I ordered it on April 1 and got it last week itself. The picture says Sold Out,but you will be able to add it to the cart.

I received both of my curated boxes last week and just now got shipping for my upgraded account. Also I couldn’t even see what I was getting till yesterday, & I’m not sure if what I’m getting is really worth the extra money or time it takes to get to me. I think everyone with the upgraded accounts are getting the same thing which include the Beaver shampoo and conditioner, a nail polish, two of the sample choices, and a set with a mascara and eyeliner I believe. I guess I’ll wait till I have it to see if I actually think its worth it. Also I love that Cynthia Rowley highlighter, it’s beautiful!

This coupon code doesn’t seem to work either.

I have two subscriptions because I always like getting one special box and one regular currated box. My regular box had the beaver conditioner and shampoo (which quite frankly I’m tired of getting shampoo and conditioner samples), the bee venom mask which I am stoked to try, the blueberry whish shaving cream (super nice for traveling) and the jouer tint in petal (which is cute but not something ill use much). Between both boxes, i feel like i got a pretty good deal this month. Loved the madmen box though!
