October was my first month and those were the items I got. I saw in some pictures that I googled that people got welcome items? But I wasn't sure if those pictures are old or not. Anyways, since that was my first box, I don't even know if it is considered a good box or not. I mean, I DO like the Mox and Mary-Lou, but that was about it. So it would help a lot if you guys can tell me in your opinion if this box is a good box or not :wassatt:
I would have loved that box!

whether or not it is a good box is totally subjective. do you like the products? would you use them? would you buy them? that's basically how i judge getting a box. what i might think is an awesome product someone else might totally hate.

 


i gifted my self a gift subscription & this was my welcome box for october. i have two accounts other than this one & this has by far been my favorite box.

Ive used the Mary-Lou and Mox and love them both. My mom liked the perfume. Hair tye was a bit pointless to me, and the bag IMO is a ziplock bag with a print on it. Overall, I think it's alright.

Woah that's a good welcome box. Much much better than mine. ^^; But mine was better than my goop box so I should've waited to complain.

 
i got a gift subscription as well and just got my welcome box (i've been subbed for 6 months already) and it's much better than some of the other ones i've seen in previous months!  i got the mox botanicals lip balm, eyeko skinny liquid liner in navy blue, mary-lou manizer, and viva la juicy la fleur.  also a heart shaped nail file as the extra.  i'm excited to try the lip balm and eyeliner!  

but does anyone know how we review welcome boxes from gift subs?  this is coming in between my october and november boxes so not sure how that works...

They're out of that sample though, so she comped me 100 points, which is really nice, but I'm still super sad sad because it was the boscia Cleansing Gel: http://www.birchbox.com/shop/boscia-purfiying-cleansing-gel I'm always up for trying new trying new facial wash things because my skin is so sensitive and gets aggravated at random things... I'd just shell out to try the full-size but the last time I purchased a full-sized boscia product, it irritated my skin too much and then I got stuck with it because I wasn't familiar with Sephora's return policy then. I wanted to try the sample first to see if it'd be worth it.
I traded for this sample and my stupid sensitive skin loves it so much. Glowy skin, smaller pores, the shebang. It doesn't dry and works really well with my Clarisonic. I definitely recommend trying it. I know I'm buying a full size when I run out! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> (OK now this almost sounds like a commercial haha!)

 
Im sorry but that box is just a bunch of left overs like the hair ties are wayy small ...the bags are kinda blahhh if you think about it...the perfume and the other things are pretty good thought :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />...im acutally thinking of cancelling birchbox... because i just rather buy makeup i acutally want then getting snacks that i dont want to eat or petty little things.

ahaha now you and everyone else is making me even more sad this got lost. I actually really would've preferred getting the sample to the $10 credit! Maybe someday UPS MI will find it again and it will just magically show up in my mailbox. ): I'm pretty sure people whose BBs were lost last month feel exactly the same way.

I'm definitely going to sephora and asking them. I'll ask for the other gel CaWo was talking about as well. Haha, poor sephora. Well, not considering how much money is going out of my pockets and into theirs right now...

 
So do first time bb subscribers get the welcome box or is it just the gift subscriptions?

 
I think it's just the gift subscriptions. I gave a gift sub to a friend for her birthday and she got a welcome box. My other friend who just wanted a sub had just gotten off the waitlist and subbed and she did not get a welcome box for her first box.

i didn't get one when i first joined but i just got one now when i got a gift sub, and it wasn't really connected with a particular month (i got mine today and they easily could have waited until the november box).

Ipsy is a great subscription if you prefer makeup products. Last month's bag was ridiculously awesome and this month's looks like it will be a close match!

It looks like my box shipped already! It shows it being processed yesterday and transferred to my MI facility today! Check your tracking pages!!!

 
My box has already shipped too! It weighs .4410 and should be here by the 13th, but hopefully I get it before then. 

 
Mine is showing my information as well, with a weight of .4370. It is set to arrive on the 13th as well. The sizes seemed sort of decent in the spoiler video, so I'm trying not to be judgmental about this low-ish box weight lol.
