Do any of you ladies know which country makes the Marcelle Hydra-C Set from Birchbox? I’m wanting to buy the set, but I may not depending on where it is made. Thank you in advance. 🙂

You know, I’ve been with birchbox for years… Anyone else remember the good old days when you could take something from the Bonus shop without a code, just add it to the bag – it used to be the difference between “Sample with purchase” and “Gift with purchase”. Then you could get all the extras, a sample pack and still use a coupon!

Yes! And now they are nickel and diming us to death. I wonder if the company is about to go public. Companies get really penny pinchy – before an offer…

I’m sorry but I can’t stand how BB always totes these amazing deals and bonuses, but they’re ALWAYS coupon codes and you can never use more than one on a purchase. So in essence if you’ve been saving up your points to make a purchase, I’d rather take one of the 20% off codes than use a bonus sample code (especially if I don’t know what the sample is going to be because it’s probably just going to be another hot pink Stila lipstick or Harvey Prince sample).
Just a rant, carry on.

I’ve actually been really happy with all my bonus samples! I think I’ve had more luck with them than my actual subscription boxes!
For example, my last order included a couple of the Cynthia Rowley eyeliner pencils, and one of the deluxe samples was a Cynthia Rowley eyeliner pen — which I’m generously attributing to thoughtfulness rather than pure chance.

Completely agree. I always use the percent-off coupon codes over the get-free-samples/get-free-whatever codes. I wish they’d let you stack coupon codes!

I don’t have any 20% codes I can use anymore, apparently I have cycled through all of them…
Good point about what the samples will probably be, though.

But even if you’ve cycled through the usual 20% coupons they still send out codes and stuff in boxes.
And actually, I think this really started griping on me last summer/fall when they had sent a code out to all subscribers for like $10 off or something then opened up this great discount shop of certain items (I recall the Jouer lip trio being one of the items) – but in order to get the item at the deep discount you had to enter a code, thus not being able to use the additional code they had just sent out. I feel like it’s purposeful timing (I mean I guess it is they probably don’t want you to get the items for FREE) – but annoying none the less.

I think I like their store more than I like their subscription boxes.

I think the only reason I put up with the subscription boxes (and the endless supply of Harvey Prince) is because of the points I can use in the store. Although my boxes have been a little better lately.
