Hi, ladies! Long-time lurker (I've been subbing for a year now!), first time poster here. I just got my box, and I haven't seen it posted, so I thought I'd share.  I got:  Beauty Protector | Protect & Detangle  Caudalie | Divine Oil (3 mL) LAFACE Laboratories | BEAUX YEUX Beautiful Eyes Concentrate Intensive (3 mL) Supergoop! | Daily Correct SPF 35 CC Cream (3 mL) Lifestyle Extra: Hail Merry | Chocolate Macaroons (bag of 2 macaroons) I already devoured the macaroons, and they were delicious!  Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with my box. I've read a lot of good things about the Protect & Detangle spray, so I'm excited to try that. I love BB creams, and have been wanting to try out a CC cream, and eye creams and face oils are always welcome in my book!  Besides, I'm going on a trip this weekend, so having sample sizes is always a plus! 

Is the weight .4400 ish?

0.52 It reminds me of those Nars satin lip pencils.  Look at me modeling it below, lol. (excuse my crazy curly fro, lol)

It's a beautiful color on you. I'm sad because I think I am getting it, but I don't wear bold colors. I would love one in a soft neutral pink or mauve. If its bright it goes up for trade, no matter how much I like the idea of it.

Oh, that is the WORST!  I'm very lucky to get along with my MIL, but so many of my friends have difficulties with theirs and I just don't understand why the moms act the way they do.  I have two little boys and I am DETERMINED to be a good MIL someday!  I hope that the situation gets better for you!  And we're always here for hugs! 

Congrats on your promotion!  At least you'll be in charge of the drama now!

I wish you luck with your boyfriend's mom. I hope she's not as bad as my MIL. Sometimes Mom's do things they think is in their son's best interest and don't realize it might hurt them and their significant others.
  Thanks guys /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I will definitely try to ignore the nastiness! ^^

Random side note: Thebalm.com is finally doing their 50% thing! I scored a gloss, shadow and blush for $29!

Ah, I knew I was forgetting something. Box weight was 0.5360

It was also supposed to arrive on the 11th, so it came three days early!

Thank you!  It's brighter and glossier in person.  I took it on my macbook with no flash but I just bought a lot of red lip products earlier, including my new red holy grail Ruby Woo by MAC.

Amen to this! My Mother-in-Law totally betrayed my trust once (before we married) and tried to get my husband (then boyfriend) to break up with me! She told him I was manipulative, crazy, demented, mean, you name it! Gah! He's an only child, so he's the center of her world. I just have to take a deep breath every time I see her and just smile, be kind and remember that she's my hubby's mom and to be respectful to her at all times...but booooy, she makes it hard lol

My issues is actually along those lines /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Glad you made it through that and he's now your hubby! ^^ I've been trying to chill, not to let her ruin my day and what not /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> But my subs will be in NY and I can't play with them till the bf visits :'(

Looks wonderful on you! MAC has awesome lip products.

That Totally Sucks. Now they're sending out full-sized products we can't review. What. The. Eff.

My box came in today. It was the box with the simple eye roller thingie (can't review this for points -_- /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />)

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

joie perfume (it sucks) mirenesse glossy kiss lipstick nexxus rejuvenating anti aging hair elixir laface purifying facial wash   this doesn't sound like it would match the profile of a rich 15 year old, kid, lol  

 

[tanya0949]

Yay! I have a clicky truck but no tracking yet.

Wordddddd.  I'm assuming it's not for review b/c it wasn't listed on the card they put in the box each month.  Did we review the razor back in August? I can't recall. 

 

[NicoleRoyer]

Has anyone else gotten a weight of .6267?? That's what my first account weighs and I am going it's not one of those "weighs a lot but is full of crap" boxes. Though I am honestly super easy to please, so bring it on Birchbox.

Yup, we got points for the razor. I would email them if you can't review it. That's bogus.

Finally got off the wait list. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> *happy dance*

Fabulous! Rock it guurl!

 

[kawaiimeows]

Wait, how would we know if we can or cannot review the product for points if our boxes haven't even been updated to the site yet? No reason to bombard birchbox about it yet, honestly. I don't remember if the razor was listed on the card or not, but I do remember it had its own packaging saying it was a birchbox find.

That's exactly what I thought. We'll find out whether it can be reviewed in a day and a half, and that's probably how long it would take to get a response, so I would just wait until boxes update before sending email.

Hey all, just got my box! It had a weight of .5455 lbs and I received:

(MALIN + GOETZ) cilantro hair conditioner

Caudalie SOS Morning Eye rescue

Herban Essentials lavender antibacterial towelettes

Mirenesse Glossy Kiss Lipstick

Hail Merry Chocolate Macaroons
Sorry I had to put it all in white text because I'm new and am still having trouble with figuring out spoiler formatting /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Edit: Added spoiler for you. To use it just highlight what you want included in it and click that little square that looks like a chat bubble.
