Reminder – Check Your Email for Birchbox Sample Selection!

The curated box looked lame and blah to me and all of the sample choices looked fine so I just ignored the email and will let Birchbox surprise me like I usually do.

I finally decided to go to for the Coola spray. The Supergoop! one that came in the Allure/Popsugar box left my daughter with a burnt face (albeit not too burnt), but I still want to give this type of product a try.

It was sold out by the time I got my link, but thanks to comments here I e-mailed Birchbox yesterday and they said they put me in the list.

It’s pretty outrageous that the Candidly Nicole box is sold out as a choice, but available for purchase. If I wanted the box I’d e-mail customer service and asked to get one. They obviously have them.

BTW, if you buy the box, you don’t get to review the samples for points.

I was going to go for the dry shampoo but read some not-so-great reviews online (not on Birchbox — on other sites) so I got the setting spray.

Also, re: reviews on the curated boxes. Yes, you can review for points BUT if you’ve received any of the items before, you can’t re-review (so won’t get points for that item). I didn’t realize this when I got a curated box — but I emailed them and complained a little bit that this info isn’t made apparent so they gave me the 10 points.

Finally, my annual is about to expire and not sure if I’ll re-sub. I’ve been doing BB for two years and really like it but just do not need any more samples. Thinking I can spend that $100 on something else (namely, my Sephora addiction . . . )

Curated is sold out! I am gonna cancel. Not enough value in these boxes for me.

boo!! The curated box is sold out! I chose the mousse. It was either that or face cream. I might buy the editor box. I really don’t NEED more product OR boxes. Sigh.

Question and apologize in advance is this is a silly one! But, are we able to do our reviews on the curated box for points or is it only non curated boxes? This is my first time that I’ve gone with curated vs. being surprised!
Thanks!

I had to go with the guest editor box, I usually prefer to be surprised but I love all the items.. and Nicole! So I couldn’t say no.

My annual is about to run out – are there any codes for another annual subscription?

I decided on the curated box this time. I too love the summer box, but I just couldn’t pass up the selection in the Nicole box. I thought about adding that one on to my order, but I already have so many boxes coming to me next month. Ah, it is definitely an addiction.

I got my email a few minutes ago, and I went with the guest editor box. It’s just that any of the other samples sparked my interests, besides I haven’t tried any of the products from the guest box. I’m excited 😀

Got the moisturizer. Was tempted by the dry shampoo though (the packaging is so pretty!). I would have gotten the Nicole box since I actually really wanted the nail polish, tanner, and cheek tint, BUT I loved the design of the regular BB box itself (the pool with the ladder and floaty ring). It’s so end-of-summer! I know it’s weird to choose a box based on the box packaging itself, but I love it.

I chose the moisturizer – but am pretty sure I’ll be purchasing the candidly Nicole box separately!

Went with the Coola Spray but really want to try the R+Co DEATH VALLEY Dry Shampoo – anyone willing to sell theirs?

I chose the Nicole box. I really liked the choices and I have been underwhelmed with my Birchboxes as of late.

I just went to select my sample choice, and found that my annual subscription had just run out. I was going to pick the curated box because it had nail polish and lipstick, but the other three items would have gone up for swap like most of my birchbox samples. Those two items aren’t worth $10 to me. I will not be renewing.

I didn’t get my email either so I emailed birchbox, told them which sample choice i wanted (i picked the Nicole box) and they replied to my email within 5 mins, reserved my choice for me and I got a confirmation email with my choice. I am an ACE member so maybe thats why the quick service but their customer service is usually quick to respond, so if you didn’t get your email yet I would recommend contacting them.

The Nicole box actually looked the best, but I have so many nail polishes and lip products that I went for the Coola setting spray instead. At least it’s something I’ve never tried before!

I also did not get the sample choice email. I did not want any of the samples, so I decided on the Nicole box. I did the online chat and she reserved it for me – quick and easy! I really want the darker colored polish, if I get one of the lighter shades, it will go on the swap board!

I hope I actually get one. Last month was the first time I’d never received an email with my choice in it.

thanks for the reminder!

I haven’t gotten my sample choice email yet, but I bought the Candidly Nicole box separately last night, as I knew I really want that one. I want to try all the choices this month, for the first time I haven’t actually decided ahead of time. I have one last month of two accounts, so I think I may go with a choice on the first and leave the second to chance. The setting spray and moisturizer get great reviews, but I could also use some mousse … the dry shampoo I would use too, but the reviews aren’t great. Oh decisions!

I’m actually going to leave it up to chance on both accounts this month! Not feeling any of the samples in particular and this way I usually get a better box anyway

When I opened my email, there’s no drop-down box to make a selection. I’ve been refreshing for several hours. Anyone else having this issue?
