I grew up at the shore and my parents are still there, 3 miles inland. Every single image on the news is so sad and devastating. I'm glad you and your family are safe.

That's horrible. Hopefully things can return to normal as quickly as possible.

Just received from BB: Dear Birchbox Customer, Monday night, Hurricane Sandy landed on the Eastern seaboard. If you or your family live in the area, we hope you are safe and sound. Due to the storm, Birchbox’s New York office will be closed until further notice. Many Birchbox staffers are without power but those who are able are working from home. Our New Jersey warehouse is also closed, and UPS and USPS have suspended service in many areas. We wanted to update you about potential delays in your Birchbox service. Due to the state of emergency, full-size orders placed on or after Friday, 10/26 will be delayed. Unfortunately, the November Women's Birchbox shipments may be delayed up to a week and many will ship after the 10th. Our customer service staff is working from home to answer emails but response times will be slower than usual. We will keep you updated as we learn more. We are so thankful to have you as a customer and look forward to getting back up and running so we can deliver on our service promise to you. Thank you, Team Birchbox

I'm from Jersey too. Things are pretty bad all around. Northern Jersey (where i'm from) didn't get hit as hard as south jersey but there are thousands w/o power. Long gas lines due to power outages across the state, down trees and power lines everywhere. So sad to see all the devastation caused by a storm.

On a somewhat lighter note, did everyone receive the email from Birchbox regarding delays in shipments for full size orders as well as the November boxes due to the storm. Not surprising. I was actually surprised that they said the boxes would only be delayed. I assumed they might need to skip the month of November.

Thankfully our neighborhood in camden county was lucky. There is a ton of trees down and power outages but not much property damage. My heart really goes out to the communities that were destroyed.

They were VERY fortunate - no damage or flooding (big river next block over from them, but the water never reached their lawn). As of last night they were still without power, but they were extremely prepared. Lots of trees down in the neighborhood, but nothing even close to what the shoreline experienced.

As long as I never get another twistie thing that does NOT work on my hair I will be ok. Been thinking of cancelling since I get BB and Myglam and myglam has been straight up blowing it out but I cannot bring myself to since it is ONLY ten. Are there any other ten dollar box/bags worth checking out?

ok ladies, i know i saw a few of you post that you wanted to try the new color club fall line especially the color editorial

i was intrigued by the color also and i happened to be at tj maxx looking for the ddf cleanser and found it in a 2 pack with a purplish/navy color (looks darker than in the picture) for $3.99!!!!!!!

i normally dont care for color club i dont like the quality... but this one seems really good!!! 2 days (with orly bonder basecoat) and no chips (and usually cc polish chips the first day on me even with orly bonder) it also isnt as streaky or goopy as some of the other colors i have tried

these pics do not do it justice (crappy cell phone camera)









i have had more compliments on this color than any nailpolish color EVER!!! go to tj maxx see if you can find it, its a great deal!!! $3.99 for 2 of them!!!

and i have not tried the bluish/purple one yet

(and there is no name on the package or bottle)

Arg! TJ Maxx never has this sort of awesomeness in the big city!

Did you find the cleanser? I could only find the kind for sensitive skin. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> My TJ maxx had tons of nail polish.... color club, orly, opi, essie.... I can't wear nail polish anymore because of work and school, so I didn't buy any.

Ugh. I was in TJ Maxx yesterday and they had Korres/Bliss gift sets, Body Shop products, and Tokyo Milk perfumes. Why do I have to be broke?

Haha, I saw the same stuff at my TJ Maxx.  However, I'm weak and bought the Korres Pomegranate set and a Tokyo Milk solid perfume.  It took all my strength to not buy the Color Club sets too.

I just bought a $3.99 2 pack of the Fall Collection and one of the Winter Collection at TJ Maxx! The Fall Collection had Muse-ical (creamy gray) and Style Icon (dark blood red). I really liked the red which I'm still wearing now three days later with minimal chipping. I bought a ton of other stuff there because I saw a bunch of brands I recognized and wanted to try. They had the Karuna face masks for just $12 which was pretty cool. Posted pictures of everything I got on my blog, but here's a photo of a 2 day old manicure with Style Icon. It's impressive for me since I work at a computer and typing chips the tips of my nails quickly.

It looks like I was charged for November's box yesterday. Has anyone else been charged for November yet?
