When someone show a picture of a kit and says that's what you get, then that's what I would expect to get! If your just sending me the tube then say it. Don't misrepresent your product or yourself. Yeah, that would make more sense, especially since they do sell the PNM as a standalone item in their store. But I think this is just a better way for them to promote that kit. I would say that you should let them know you found that misleading, as how will they know if no one tells them?

i think in the past when there have been kits shown they've given foil samples of the entire kit (this may have only happened a couple of times!)

The ones I can best recall are the nail rock - which was full size - but also like $8.

And then last year I received WEI to Go Sleep Over Kit which was all foils.

On a complete side note, I tried gifting myself $10 with points from one account to another and it is "under review".  Was wondering why I hadn't received the code and I am annoyed because I need the code to make a purchase.

Has anyone signed up for the USWeekly subscription? When I click the link in the email I get an error page.

I got the juice beauty "kit" a few months back and it was a foil of each. I'd rather have one deluxe sample than 3 one use samples.

Uh oh. I was wondering if they would catch on and put an end to that /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Hopefully they don't! Keep us updated on what happens.

From BB website:   Product Feedback: Smashbox Cosmetics Full Exposure Palette We would love to hear what you think about this product as well as your previous experience with this brand. Bonus: Birchbox members earn 10 Birchbox points for each product survey they complete for a product they sampled in a monthly box. At this time, individual product feedback does not significantly impact the samples Birchbox members will receive in future boxes.

ETA: never mind….I guess I never saw/read through this before when doing feedback

I am just super bummed with this sample...

I have a quick question.  I just got off the wait list and this is my first month with Birchbox. I see all of you know what you are getting, but when I look on my box page it says "Your first box is shipping soon".  I have a shipping notice, but am I missing somewhere to look to see what's coming?  Thanks!!

In my December box I received the Eslor skincare system & it was the full kit but all in foils.

If you are just off the waitlist it may take a few days for your box page to load.  Best wishes for an awesome first box!

What colors were in your CS quad?? (mine has been delivered but I'm at work and can't wait to get home to see for myself....)

I don't have the color names (sort of annoying!) but I received the black, a minky brown, gold and a neutral highlighting color...there are definitely variations of the quad, because so,e of the other comments when I reviewed the shadows mentioned purples. I loved the set that I got. And the shadows were really nicely pigmented and long lasting!

The oil I can't use on my hair as I need volume not to be conditioned or weighted down, the NOT Dr. Brandt Kit, the tini tiny bottle of OPI sheer stuff, 2 Benefit things of which I hate that company! And one a cardboard with nothing on it and the fake up has just enough to make a little line across and then ended scratching my face from trying to get the tiny bit of product on it. Really is a useless box!!! Again!!! Boohoo!!! : ). (The smiles for you Rachel!!!)

I'm surprised you were only able to get one use from the Fake Up.  I received it as a sample from Birchbox a few months ago and I was able to get almost 3 weeks worth of it (using it every day on both under my eye and my lids).

I guess I'll have to wait until tomorrow since I can't call customer service today.  Makes me nervous and annoyed.

/emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Mine came in today. It's a pretty good box. I definitely saw worse out there. I will for sure get good use of the eyeliner pen, looking forward to trying out the scent and polish. But a little leary about using the Beauty Protector oil and that lotion (is it even a lotion?). The oil is just an tube with cap so I guess I just stick my finger in and attempt to distribute it in my hair?

Nah. Pour a little into the palm of your hand, then rub your palms together. Once you've done that, rub what's on your palms on the ends of your hair.

I think someone already answered this but just in case... It's only b/c this is your first box. The same thing happened to me and it even took a few days after I actually received my first one in the mail for the site to update. But eventually when you go to your box page it will automatically display the contents of your current month's box with a list of the products underneath. It usually updates on the 10th of each month! Welcome to BB /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Got my birchbox today... but is it weird that there is NO mention of US weekly at all on the card?
