Birchbox Limited Edition Under The Sun Box Available Now!

I finally broke down and bought it and I really hope I get the light beige eye shadow instead of the chocolate one.

Did everyone get the cameo eye shade?

Got my box last night with a green baggu and a light brown shadow that looks not far off from Park Ave Princess bronzer that I use on my cheeks so no complaints here! Also I was one of the first to buy this and got the extra 100 points with purchase even though I only bought one. I saw that people were getting theirs removed for not buying two (best site ever!) and I immediately bought a candle for free with the points! It arrived yesterday as well! Couldn’t be happier! Except maybe if I had the stripe bag but that I can swap/buy!

Got my box yesterday(fastest box ever!). Everything is really nice. I received the striped baggu too. The eye colour is Hot Chocolate. I believe everything else is the same in our boxes.

My box arrived today and I was surprised to see that the necklace looks tarnished. Is it supposed to look old, or do I have a dud?
Also, a plea – if anyone would like to swap their elephant Baggu for a smart navy striped one, I’m your girl!

My box came in today, LOVE IT! Every item will be used, the necklace is super-cute, and worth the price alone, IMO.

Even though I didn’t purchase 2 LE boxes as they wanted us to for the 100 bonus points, I am not happy that they removed them after the fact and I have been emailing with them about that. I didn’t know I was getting the 100 bonus points in error, and that is what induced me to actually pull the trigger on the purchase. I will often put things in my cart and not actually buy them, but once it was in my cart and I saw the 100 bonus points, that incentive influenced me to make the decision to purchase. Then once I purchase they take that incentive away from me? From a legal standpoint it is not permitted. It was their mistake evidently, and they should honor it. I’m not happy with how BB is handling this one, and in fact they are not handling it legally.

On a side note to anyone who’s been sent the Birchbox branded pink leather tassel:
I’m not keen on attaching something with a logo to my bag, but I painted over the strip that says ‘Birchbox’ with gold paint and it now looks pretty classy and fabulous.
I wish I could upload a photo, it turned out better than I imagined.

I have never purchased a LE Birchbox but this thread has intrigued me beyond control! (I typically buy full size products) I had hoarded $90 in points- so I decided to take the plunge and get the summer and Lovely Day box so I could get the 100 point bonus. I used a 20% off code and my total came to $3.60!!! Super excited to try these LE Boxes. Liz your reviews have convinced me to get boxes I didn’t think I was interested it (especially in reference to the Lovely Day box) Birchbox owes you some commission 😉
Regarding the Summer box I am most intrigued by the neckless, bag and sunglasses. I am sick of all the nail polishes from subs tho. Oh well! Also Maura Mercier is always a win

Woohoo! Used my points AND the BEAUTYMAVEN code! Did not cost me one penny! Looking forward to getting this one.

I also got my bonus points taken away, even though I *DID* purchase two LE boxes. Annoying.

I’m sure they’ll fix it for me, but it’s annoying to have to email them and explain it, and wait for their reply, double check and make sure it gets fixed… and I actually earned the points! 😛

Alas, my points were taken away, too. Siiigh.

I’m a bit confused. Don’t understand why sponge papa are saying the sunscreen is only around 12$. I asked BB on their Facebook page and they said the size was 2.4 ounces which the Bb store says costs 28.00..”

I used the code ONEYEAR that was emailed to me for 13 th month anniversary. 25% off, got the 100 points but were later taken away.

I just ordered mine! I’ve considered ordering the Home Sweet Homespun LE because I liked how it looked but I’m so much more excited for this one! I’m new to Birchbox and loving it so far! I LOVE the necklace so that plus the baggu make it worth the money I spent. The rest could be seen as a bonus but I’m pretty sure I’ll use all of it. yeah!

So I’m a bit irritated that I purchased this LE box and another LE box together just to get the extra (promo) 100 points. They were credited after I checked out. And then someone took them back and noted “didn’t purchase promotional items required.” Um, yes, yes I did. In fact the only reason I bought another one was to get the 100 points. I contacted CS so we shall see whether they’ll honor their promo as advertised. Otherwise the second promo box is going back for a full refund. I mean really, they have someone auditing points to snatch them back 4 hours after they’re credited? Not happy.

I bought this LE box earlier today, my first since becoming a subscriber in 2013. The be lovely one was intriguing but this box is even better. Everything looks to be something I’ll use. I love the glasses, necklace, nail polish, and candy for sure. I have a lot of neutral shadows but Laura mercier is a good brand so I’ll use it instead. Doesn’t look too shimmery which is good. The creamy bronzer and blush are a maybe, I usually use powder but those colors look nice. I like supergoop so looking forward to trying another product. I can always use another tote. Both prints are cute but I like the sailor stripe a little better. I’m so excited and feel the $34 I paid with the code and bb points is worth it. Gosh, I will always subscribe and love bb. I got my mom, who never pampers herself, hooked too!

I got mine today for $14 using 300 points and 20% off! I knew I was hoarding points for a reason. Just a note for everyone, it does say on BB that the baggu bag prints will vary, and the eyeshadow will vary. However, it does not say that the sunglasses will vary (there is a tortoise version also) and the nail color is listed as Bikinis and Martinis (soft pink) so no variation there. Whoever has been curating these LE boxes in 2015 has been doing a bang up job!

Oh shoot! They took away my extra 100 points too. Too good to be true I suppose as I only bought one box and nothing else.

Just checked my account and they took away the 100 points. Kind of annoying since it was their mistake to begin with, but since I didn’t actually buy two limited edition boxes, I understand.

I just used BEAUTYMAVEN, added the sample pack and a small Marvis toothpaste so I wouldn’t lose any points and with tax it came to $49.75 so with 500 points… Whoohoo! Free 🙂

I just tried the beautymaven code but I got a message saying the coupon code is invalid. Do you think they removed the code so it can’t be used on this purchase?

I’m not able to process my order! I’ve tried on 2 separate devices and I keep getting an error message. Is anyone else having trouble ordering? It happens when I’m finished and I hit submit to complete the order…any advice, ladies?

How fast were the 100 points added to your account? I just ordered and nothing’s been added to my account yet. Really hoping I still get those points

Update for those about to buy! BEAUTYMAVEN takes 25% off down to $44 (CA tax is included in my totals ) BUT the 100 bonus points will not be given. Only with the 20% off codes which is only about a $3 difference and brings it up to $47 but 100 points are added to the account after purchase!! Just a heads up
