Laura

Received my box today. NO Oil, it spilled all over the box. The entire box is ruined and has a terrible perfume smell. Also a broken eye pencil. Worthless $64 spent.

Liz Cadman

Oh no! Sorry to hear it. Make sure to let Birchbox customer care know – they are usually awesome about making it right.

Kristin

I got my box today with No Hair Oil in the Box!! Oil & 1 huge mess all over the place! I don’t know why they don’t seal that stuff nothing was useable!! I told them to send me return labels & they are plus they just sent me another box!! I hope they pack it safe this time!!

LLR

Me too! I was so excited when I got home to find my box here already but when I opened it the smell was overpowering. I poked at the contents but everything was covered in oil. I had to just close it up. Since I was exhausted I waited until this morning to deal with the mess. All but a few drops of the oil had spilled. Within a couple of hours I had a reply and a confirmation for a new box with sample pack shipping. This is the first time I’ve had a damaged order and it’s so wonderful to get such a quick resolution.

Kristin

I meant I did recieve my hair oil but nothing in the container! It spilled everywhere!! Anyone else have that??

Ragan

I have to hand it to Birchbox CS, they are pretty great.

My LE box came today and the Davines had dumped half its contents all over the box. I sent them a photo at 2:47 PM and by 2:50 PM they had already taken care of it (they are sending a replacement box).

Randi

Got my box today too! I just went through it real quick and am really happy with it. I think the oil must have leaked bc the bottle is barely half full

Kristin

I’m excited!! I got mine for 54.00 after my 10.00 off with my Birthday code & free shipping since I’m an ACE. I’m excited for everything in this one!!

Hollie

I’m an ACE and my birthday is Sunday. When and how do I receive a code?

Kristin

You should automatically get an email. Did you check Spam & All? My Code was BIRTHDAY2016 if that helps sweetie. You can give it a try. Otherwise email them & they will send you one. Good luck Hun! Don’t forget to add your free sample pack! Let me know if it works. Good Luck Hollie & Happy Birthday! xo??

Randi

Me too! Ace and bday on Sunday… I didn’t get anything either

Crystal

I just bought this one, I had 609 points saved up and some are expiring soon. So I was able to buy the box and Dr. Jart mask plus the mystery samples for a grand total of $2.21 out the door with tax and ACE shipping.

Kristin

Great Score!! ?

abbynholsinge

Wow! I didn’t realize the points could expire! How long are they good for??

Flubs

They expire a year after you get them.

mycatbutters

Wow, bought this earlier and already received a shipping notification.

Kristin

Me too!! I got my Shipping notification 2 hours after I bought it lol.

Sara

I bought something on Friday and it arrived yesterday (it shipped from the SE to the NW, and I’m not even an ACE on that account). I didn’t even get a shipping notice, it just arrived like magic.

Kristin

Sara don’t you just love it when you get a box before the tracking lol?! ?

Andrea

I have been coveting that tray for so long!! Almost made me buy it, but after reading everyone’s comments, I didn’t. I don’t need all the other stuff (or the tray for that matter BUT I love it soooooo). Probably will just buy the tray by itself with my (hopefully coming soon?) April birthday code & points.

Flubs

Yeah, I was thinking about that too since it’s only $15 on the site (http://www.umbra.com/usd/prisma-jewelry-t). Plus they have a lot of other cute organizer stuff so it actually works out in my favor.

Subie

This seems like a very uninteresting box to me…if the price point was more like $45 that would be better…seems like $64 is just too high. Too many sample sized products and a VOTIVE candle? Come on…

LillyZ

Not excited for this at all! These items are a bit of a snooze and repetitive (another mascara, face oil, blush from this month’s box, and the incredibly repetitive perfume-no thanks). With inflated values, overpriced items on their site, and samples that are less than half-full, I have grown weary on subscription boxes recently. I think they jumped the shark a few months back. I have gone from 4 boxes per month to 2 for these reasons. Don’t get me wrong, I do look forward to their monthly boxes because I get to try things I normally would not, but this box is a definite pass for me. Bring back a box like the summer box last year, that was great!

Ashley Odabashian

i agree, it should be around $45 for all those sample/travel sized products…

Angie

I agree with you! (Subie)

I got and liked the last LE box,(why stay in….) I do like the tray but I’ll pass, you all enjoy!?

Krista

This is a nice box! I feel like I should just buy the tray if I really want it that much because I sure as heck don’t need any of the “stuff” – but I still WANT it! 🙂

Biki

Lol! I was thinking the same thing!

Krista

I caved yesterday 🙂 After this month’s reviews of my normal box, I had 20 in points and a code for 10 off so I got it for 34 and a mystery sample pack.

For 34 I’m happy with the tray, the full sized blush, the full sized gloss, the full sized shadow liner (all of which I will use) and the rest of the goodies 🙂

Hopefully they have sorted out the issues with the hair oil spilling.

Miccarty

This box looks fantastic and I’ve tried several of these products before and like them. However I don’t need anything included. Hmm.

I am going to try to hold out. I will probably cave when the review is posted 😉

Marissa

This is a gorgeous gorgeous box but I’m going to have to pass. I only like the tray and the candle and those just arnt worth it…for now…I’m sure I will cave when the review is up lol.

Jennifer

I kept saving my points, had a feeling there would be another Mother’s Day/Spring box available. Purchased LE box, plus got sample pack and free gift of lip trio, free aces shipping, only $4.00 for everything!! So excited. Still had points left over, saving those for the Summer LE box (hopefully!)!!!

Annie

How do you keep them from using all your points? Whenever I try to buy something worth less than my points I can’t figure out how not to apply them all and lose money. (example – I have 200 points, the item I’m buying costs $14, Birchbox applies all 200 points, making my purchase free BUT I just lost $6 worth of points. I would rather apply 100 points and pay the $4)

Rena

You don’t get the option of choosing smaller point values, but you can just select to pay the full amount via credit card.

Nyx

Whew! I’m glad I don’t “need” this one! A couple nice items I’ll look for on the swap board.

May

I am glad that I don’t “need” this box as I have to purchase some refills of things I “need” like foundation.

Emily

Nice box, but nothing I need, thank goodness!

Dawn

I need this but I none of the codes work 🙁

Ragan

If you have been with Birchbox for awhile, like I have, you have probably used most of them before!

If you have been subscribing, your best bet for a discount is to try in the second half of the month using one of the anniversary codes (Google “Birchbox anniversary codes” for a list). You can use any code for a month you are at or have already passed. Most are 20+% off. But they are only active during the later part of the month. I am guessing this will be around for that long.

Ann

I have a 10 dollar off code they just sent me if anyone wants it. I know it’s not as good as 20% off, but it might help someone.

Ann

I just used TAKEOFF20 and it worked. I ended up typing it in to get it to work. Good luck.

Krista

I think you can only use them once though, so if Dawn used them previously for an order, they won’t go again.

Ragan

Well what do you know, there was a code in the list I hadn’t actually used yet. *This* is the kind of LE box I like to see from Birchbox.

Britt

Just ordered–the code WELCOMEOFFER20 worked.

Randi

Well despite my best efforts to “cut back” – I’ll of course be getting this one. I just love that tray! and I’ll use most of the products too 🙂

Mary

TAKEALEAP20 code worked for 20% off. Used my points plus free shipping for Aces = total cost of $1.20!!!! Yay! Love that tray!

Sara

I broke down and bought it 🙁 I LOVE Laura Geller and the tray is soooo cute. I got a coupon to work and had $10 on my old account.

Ann

I just realized you get the tray with it. *SIGH* Sometimes I really hate this place. 😀

Liz Cadman

I know – that tray looks great!!

Ann

You made me do it. 😀 I convinced myself I needed the tray because my other one is getting “full”. I could have bought just the tray, but I might as well get the whole thing. I’m saving money, right?! That’s what I told myself, anyway. HAHA

Lee

300+ points and a birthday coupon…. This is mine.
Happy Birthday to me.

Randi

I was wondering about a birthday coupon… my birthday is in April, but I don’t remember seeing anything yet – when do they usually send them?

Lee

They sent me an email with a promo code.

Liz Cadman

Sara

Oh crap I’ve been avoiding the last SE Birchbox, but this one looks great! Unfortunately I have points saved up 🙁

Ann

Sooo tempting! I just received the Laura Geller blush though. Hmmm, decisions, decisions. I blame you and this site for this new obsession I have! 🙂 It’s so bad, I was actually looking at the tampon post from the other day, thinking about what a good deal it was and who I knew that could use them, since I no longer have a need for them. Yeah, it’s that bad. I think I need Sub Box Anon.
