I think our box theory is wrong then, because I'm also getting box one, but I'm not getting the same things you are. I like my box, but I really wanted to get the nail polish :-( I have shipping info, but no updates yet.

I think the confusion with the box numbers comes from the fact that they all say Box 1 until you click below on the link for your box with the content listed next to it under "Box History".

I really love BB. I don't know what people expect for $10. Do they think about what it costs to run a business? BB has to pay to ship, and the packaging not to mention staff. With the points system it is a steal IMO. I have def gotten crap boxes some months but awesome ones too to make up for it.

I don't get how people take the wrong shades as a personal attack on them or claim fraud. I am not thrilled at the idea that I might get a red or orange lippy, I am so cool toned that I can't pull or orange/peach or reds.. I really do look like a clown. My kids laugh hysterically when I try (we laugh a lot and I don't take myself too seriously lol). But I'm sure just as often as I get one that i cant wear, a pink or berry shade is sent out that others can't wear.. Is not the end of the world! Gift it and write your review for points and move on! I'm getting twin boxes and one is still sitting in NY apparently and the other might be delivered today or Monday. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

My box came today and it was missing the Kiehls. I was really looking forward to that item so I emailed them. Hopefully they'll have a replacement. I'm LOVING the Simple Eye roller! It's so cooling and refreshing!!! It will be GREAT for the summer time in Florida when it's hot as hell.

Yup, this, totally.  Some months, I barely get $5 worth of use out of the contents (my February 2012 box was *horrible*), but other months, I get far more than my $10 worth, like the time I got that (almost neon fuchsia!  My kind of lip color!) Pixi lip stain.  And then there's the part where it's not even costing $10:  One sub is an annual sub, so after points (at 50 per month), it works out to LESS THAN TWELVE CENTS PER DAY.  Even if you pay monthly, after accounting for points, that's still less than seventeen cents per day.

Hmm.  I think I need to get myself a piggy bank -- an actual piggy bank and not just a savings account or ledger -- and put however much I spend on subs *each day* in that bank and see just how much it ends up being at the end of the month.  It will probably seem like hardly anything -- spare change floating around in the bottom of my pocket! -- each day when I drop the money in and then WHOA NELLY *HOW* MUCH DID I SPEND? when I see the physical pile of money at the end of the month.  Or maybe not.  It will be an experiment.  Writing down amounts just seems kind of imaginary to me.

I just went through all the orders I've placed with Birchbox in the last year and counted up how much they were vs how much I paid, because I'm one of those people who can't make it past like 300-500 points without caving and spending.

I've gotten about $300 worth of stuff for $70 since last March!

the weight of my box is 0.4460 and I have box #1 also included is the nexxus elixir, weleda body lotion, caudalie divine oil (which I had also hoping for!), and the strivectin SD eye concentrate.

I decided to gift myself a second box since I cancelled my popsugar sub so I will update my box #2 info once it's received :-D

So excited!

My box just updated. The projected delivery date is the 18th. My box weight is 0.4440 but i'm getting the same products as you.

I think I saw last month someone post that she takes all her extra samples to her underprivileged students and lets them choose things for their moms around the holidays. I would like to donate some samples to her since Mother's day is coming up. Anyone know who this is or how I can contact her? Thanks!

Possibly a school?

 

[nicepenguins]

I think she posted in the worst thing you've ever gotten thread. I totally want to help her out too.

 

[sparklegirl]

Oh is that where it was? I couldn't remember but the birchbox thread is the one I follow most. Ok, I'll investigate there! Yeah, I have all these samples that I could trade or I can donate them and feel better about myself. If I find her, I'll let you know. Thanks!

Off topic, but in case anyone here is interested:  Tatcha (the Japanese blotting paper company) has skincare samples available on their website.  It's a deluxe sample of a camellia cleansing oil, that they say is a 2 week supply, plus a choice of 3 packets.  I chose an anti-aging moisturizer, eye cream and serum.  It's 1.95 for shipping.

Tatcha's products remind me of Amore Pacific, but a little more expensive.  Someone gave me some travel sizes of all the products when they first came out with the line, and they are really nice products.  A little on the pricey side though.

Nice find! Would you mind posting a link to the sample? I can't seem to find it (I searched 'oil' and 'sample' in the search field).

I'm so bummed. I just got my box and I didn't get any of the Yes to Cucumbers wipes, even though according to my online page I should have. Ok I may sound lame, but I love those things and I was so excited about them. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I got my box today (13) and I was expecting them as well but i got a dark circle serum instead. I'm okay with that though because i got 3 yes to products!

 

[Dena Fletcher]

Anyone get and try the color changing polish yet????

You can try to find out of there are any women's shelters in your area. I know they are always accepting donations like that /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I have it! Put it on this morning 

 I think someone posted pictures a while back, but it's HOT pink & turns purple in the sunlight. It turns colors right away when you step in the sun (even though there is not much sun here in Wisconsin right now!)
