I actually received my October Welcome box from a gift subscription a few days ago & mine had the navy Eyeko liner! so they are definitely in stock now!

OOO...I'm jelly!! I have the olive and purple liners already, but would gladly take any and all other colors whenever they become available lol. I like them a lot and am hoping they make a return in more colors!

Hopefully! do they have brown? Im getting a black through trade... Purple or olive sounds pretty though. I got the turquoise and didnt really care for the color. o

Dunno, but do know for sure there is the olive, purple, turquoise, navy and black. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a brown, too.

Companies generally reach out to publications to have articles written about them, including providing free product for "consideration". Press like that is totally biased. I have a friends who are constantly doing favors to get press written, and a friend who was editor at a huge tech blog, they get sent free shit in the hopes of an article, doesn't mean they didn't like birchbox, it means birchbox didn't request they write an article about them.

Eyeko has brown on their website, but every time I try to buy it, it's out of stock.

Olive is really pretty! It's more of a dark olive on me.

Agreed, I sometimes layer a lighter olive color on top of it, but even alone it's gorg!

I think your missing the pump you should be able to take the top off and just pump and it comes out in small pea size amounts

Thank you! I totally didn't realize there was a top that came off separate from the screw top.

i bought the dinair airbrush last year and it comes with .25 oz bottles of color that you unscrew and drip it into the airbrush and i had ordered a larger size and unscrewed it and there was no dropper, i was so upset!!! i called the company only to find out that you unscrew just the tip and it opens up

so i feel your embarrassment for this hahahahahahaha

Well, we are a few days away from November.....anyone have any ideas for our November BB?  I'm going with some sort of Election theme?  Or maybe getting ready for the holidays?  I think I'm ready to hear everyone start complaining about what they are or are not getting.  I mean, what's the fun without some complaints???

Never heard of the mitt before, but I looked it up based on your suggestion.  Dermstore had it, with free 1-3 day shipping for my $15 order (plus free gift!) so I figured I'd try one.  I'd be needing more makeup remover cloths shortly anyway, so this works.  (Especially since I recently used a toner after my current cloths,, only to find the cotton came away with a bunch of leftover makeup!)  Hope this thing works as well as all the reviews seem to indicate it does!  =)

Around the 5th or 6th, not sure how everything is going to work this month with the storm though.

Yeah, I think everyone should prepare themselves for serious delays that are not Birchbox's fault... between power outages & most major transportation coming to a halt it'll be a little while before things are back up to speed, and even longer for everyone to get caught up.

I swear if anyone complains about late shipments this month. Every other month, I understand, but this month there is a storm KILLING people. I know there will be people that complain about it. Ughh those people..

I agree! I really hope everyone keeps this in perspective. A Birchbox coming a little late is NOTHING to stress about when so many people are in such chaos and destruction /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

The United States Post Office has issued a statement in regards to the numerous post offices and hubs closed.

http://about.usps.com/news/service-alerts/welcome.htm

http://about.usps.com/news/service-alerts/msureport_082812.htm

Also on the USPS site is this:

FedEx Transportation: Preparation for Hurricane Sandy has resulted in cancelation of FedEx transportation to the following locations for Monday, Oct. 29:
Baltimore, MD
Boston, MA
Bradley, CT
Dulles, VA
Harrisburg, PA
Lehigh Valley, PA
Philadelphia, PA
Providence, RI
Newark, NJ
New York, NY
Stewart Airport, NY
Washington, DC

UPS has also issued a statement - http://www.ups.com/content/us/en/about/news/ct1_abo_new_20121029_sandy.html & http://ltl.upsfreight.com/news/service_updates/index.aspx?p=update

And FedEx's actual statement: http://www.fedex.com/us/servicealerts/index.html

Needless to say with power outages, roads flooded mail and package transit will be delayed a while. IF Birchbox's warehouse was flooded then any products they have maybe damaged. It's also possible that if the warehouse wasn't damaged that any product they were waiting for the November boxes maybe delayed in receiving which in turn will cause delays in the boxes being put together and shipped. It's the same with any company out on the East Coast so hopefully when it comes time in November for us to get our boxes we all remember that this time Birchbox and other companies delays are not their fault.

That is an important point.  Also, this is on their blog:

"As many of you know, Birchbox HQ is based in Manhattan. Last night, as Hurricane Sandy barreled over us, record-breaking floods and power outages took over much of the city, leaving all of lower Manhattan and parts of the outer boroughs without electricity. This morning, we’re still taking stock of the damage. Currently, our office is closed and many of our staffers are without power. We’ll be updating our Facebook and Twitter with service updates, but in the meantime we all appreciate your thoughts and patience."

Also, isn't the warehouse in New Jersey?  This could be an interesting month.
