Still no box page update, still no clicky truck.  I'm an Ace and have never had it take this long.  I sent a message and they sent me the usual canned response.  So annoyed...

 
I got 2 boxes today. One was perfectly assembled, and the other had no pillow pack, no info card, and the tissue paper wasn't even folded, just kind of crunched in there. I wouldn't be impressed at all if I was a new subscriber.

 
Here is what birchbox had to say.

Hi Cynthia,
Thanks so much for taking the time to write in with such thoughtful feedback!
The Birchbox Women’s $30 Subscription is a brand new offering, and we are so appreciative that you have shared your thoughts with us. Please know that I will be passing your message along to the team here to take into consideration for updates to this program.
I am so sorry that you did not receive a shade of the Laura Mercier Rouge Nouveau Weightless Lip Color that we carry. That is certainly not in line with our standard of service, and I will be passing that along immediately!
The Yukon Cargo Eyeshadow that you received is accurate, however, your Box Preview does not accurately reflect that. Rest assured, you were not supposed to receive the Cargo Summer in the City Eye Shadow Palette and I apologize for the confusion and for any disappointment.
I do understand your concerns with the pricing of the items you received this month. On behalf of the trouble, I have added 100 points into your account. This is good for $10 in our shop (removed link)
Again, thank you so much for being in touch with us, and please don’t hesitate to let me know if I can assist with anything else from here! I'm happy to help. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
Have a great day!
Best,

My amika dry shampoo had some sort of incontinence problem yesterday. Like an over-excited puppy, it emptied itself on my vanity. I might have put the cap on crooked or something.  Thought others should know in case they carry theirs in a gym bag/ purse/suitcase.

I got two boxes this month with no pillow packs.  I didn't really see the value of them at first but they kinda prevent the samples from rolling all over the box and possibly leaking.

My box came today and I got the same upgrades. When I opened the eye shadow it crumbled and fell out of the pan. Also the same thing with the lipstick. When I opened it, the lipstick flew out of the container. It was really weird. I've never had this happened before. The Mod color is not a color I would wear. The eye shadow color is pretty though. I put the part of the shadow that didn't break back in the pan and will try the shade later.

My cargo eyeshadow was smashed too.   It wasn't in a pillow pack or anything - just rattling around in  the box loose. I am going to try to do the rubbing alcohol thing to fix it.  

 
My box for May finally arrived.

I gifted myself a subscription this month and box has not shown up yet. I'm also waiting on my HP Sea salt spray replacement, which should arrive today (I hope) and a BS box replacement which hasn't moved from the shipping facility in TN either.

I'm not having a winning Birchbox month.

I got that exact box!  What did you think?  It is my first (and last) Birchbox.  The samples are so, so,so tiny.  And the Dr. Jart was medium/deep and I am pretty sure I indicated I am fair on the profile.  I have tired Yu-be for free before.  I only paid $5 for the box and am pretty disappointed.  I would have flipped if I would have paid full price.

My box was "delivered" last Thursday I contacted Birchbox since I never received it and they said they'd send out a replacement. Meanwhile yesterday I got a mystery Birchbox in the mail with samples I've received a few times before, I was mad. This was the first month I didn't pick a sample and let BB pick for me. The samples I was supposed to get I was looking forward to, instead I  got a box of crap. I emailed BB again, and she didn't know what the box was and it wasn't the BB I was supposed to get. My replacement just mailed out yesterday, so it's not even the replacement box. It seems they had a lot of things going wrong in their shipping dept this month or something. 

PS-I'm still waiting on my Lip Monthly Tracking email that allegedly was sent out a week and 1/2 ago.

I actually like it. I have fair/medium skin, but the Dr. Jart's worked out well for me. I wasn't impressed with the Yu-Be size or smell.

 
I've found that Dr. Jart works for me as well. It looks dark in the package but doesn't show so dark on my fair skin.

Yeah, the Yu-be smells pretty horrible. It works fine as a moisturizer - nothing special - but that smell! :wacko:
