Birchbox Limited Edition Under The Sun Box Review + Coupon

I emailed Birchbox about the tape and they gave me 50 points. It was a bummer because I liked the box a lot. Oh well.

Just received mine. Love it except the bronzer and blush sticks were stuck in the tops of the packaging. Not cool. 🙁 I emailed Birchbox so I hope they can send me new ones. I’m afraid to open them again and it completely dropping out on the floor.
Love that I got the striped navy bag. I’m all about stripes!

I just got my box and it did not have tape on it ! I got the combination I wanted, the elephant bag and light eye shadow. I already gobbled up the gummies, after wards I realized how much sugar they have ! Gulp. I really enjoyed this box

Hi Liz,

What did you think about your mystery samples? I especially curious about the item in the red bottle with the spray top. Any information you can provide would be great!

Thanks
Diane

Does anyone know if those sunglasses are polarized?

I got the same box as you, which I’m so glad about because I really wanted the elephant Baggu! It is so cute!

I got the same box as Liz’s – and mine was taped too (bummer). Despite the box being messed up, I really like the contents – such a fun collection!

Don’t know where this goes, but June Sample Choice emails are starting to go out. And there’s some kind of wedding box available for new subscribers? Not exactly sure of all the details.

I love this box so much but I got the Striped bag and chocolate eye shadow and really wanted both of the other variations, so that was a minus. My box didn’t come taped, though, it’s in great shape, so that’s a plus!

I LOVED this box. The only thing that I wasn’t crazy about was the nail polish (I prefer dark and bold colors), but I know of plenty of people that I can gift it to. Everything was of good quality and the value was great. I got the navy striped tote, and I love it. My box wasn’t taped, and I’m so sorry yours was! I absolutely love up cycling pretty birchboxes and I have a ton of ideas for this one.

Mine has been crisscrossing across my state for days. Can’t wait to get it, hopefully without the tape.

I received the exact box as Liz with tape too. It’s a heavy duty ribbed packing type of tape, so cutting it and leaving it in place looks about as ugly as having a tear in the box print! Overall this is a great box!

By the way, I’m not a bronzer type of gal, but I looked at the BB description of the Cynthia Rowley duo and they show a nice descriptive photo of layering the blush and bronzer together and blending it. I tried it and it was a really nice final effect, so both blush and bronzer are keepers for me.

The cameo baked shadow is a perfect neutral base shadow. For anyone who received the Pop peach parfait shadow trio in April, the darker peach shade blends perfectly with it.

The necklace is cute, but not for me. Unfortunately I’m still on the wait list for the MSA swap site :(, so I’ll probably be gifting it.

This box looks great! Your review makes it seem so much better than i thought it was. I wish that I could get the 70 points that BB is offering with purchase and the 25% off but unless they have changed, they won’t let me use two codes.
BTW, next time that you get a box that is taped up, use scissors or a knife to cut the tape instead of ruining the box. It won’t be perfect, but it won’t be torn.

Your review just sold me on this! With the discounts and my points, it will only cost me $4. 🙂 I was saving my points for a full-size Harvey Prince Hello perfume, but found Alfred Sung’s Sung perfume on a TJ Maxx clearance end-cap for $10 this weekend! Over 8 hours later, I can still smell it on me after one spritz. I haven’t used it since my aunt bought it for me for a birthday gift 10+ years ago, so it was a pleasant surprise… and I was immediately thinking about this box when I saw it. Thank you for making my choice for me! I’m just waiting for the sample pack to come back in stock to purchase. 🙂

Great box and I LOVE LOVE that neckless!!! If anyone plans to swap or sell theirs let me know! So cute! I die for it!

Semi-unrelated but I just went shopping on Birchbox.com and they are out of stock on the Mystery Sampler Pack. what the heck man not cool 🙁 The reason this upsets me the most is because their -‘GWP’ items always require coupon codes- which I think is crap. Considering they had the sampler pack I forgave it- but now its out of stock- hope its very temporary!!

My favorite things in the box are the bronzer, the eye shadow, and the sunglasses. My least favorite thing is a tie between the nail polish (just not a good color for my skin tone) and the necklace (it looks cheap to me). Am generally happy with this box over all.

Use the tips of scissors or an exacto knife to cut the tape (where the gap is between the box and lid).

The tape will still be on the box but the print won’t be ripped and the box still looks nice.

My box is due tomorrow. I am most upset about the possibility of the box being taped/getting ruined- I know its about the products inside but like Liz I was really looking forward to repurposing it. What a bummer on the eyeshadow being so low in pigment- I really like Laura Mercier. I too am mostly excited about the non-beauty items in this box

I got the exact same box as Liz and mine was taped too. I actually laughed that she ripped hers because I did the exact same thing!

Great box though, I am happy with all of my items! Especially the sunglasses- they are already in my beachbag!!

I got the same variations as Liz and am really happy with this box! The only thing I don’t love is the blush bronzer combo, I’m just not a bronzer person. I tried it anyway and it just looked weird on me.

I had the same issue with the taped box, which was super annoying. Such a pretty box to ruin with tape. And I got a bummer mystery sample pack – a half full Hello shampoo and a foil packet of body scrub (one time use). But I’m happy with the box itself. Love the gummies and I’m wearing the sunglasses right now! Much “cooler” than anything I would have picked out on my own. 🙂

I entered BEAUTYMAVEN in promo code and it came back not available….has anyone else tried it? Thanks.

Can’t wait for mine!

This review made me buy this box! The BEAUTYMAVEN code didn’t work but I got the TAKEOFF20 code to work. I’m so excited for my box to come!

Hi Liz thanks for another great review! I ordered my box on Saturday and can’t wait for it to arrive!
I tried to use code “BEAUTYMAVEN” when I ordered but it said code was invalid.
I used “COMEBACK20” and it worked fine 🙂
