My thoughts exactly.  I'm super picky about food.  It even looks nasty.  Bring on the chocolate.  I wish the spoiler videos would also be more honest.

"We also have these nasty bars that we just can't get enough of! What flavors of nastiness will they think of next?"

Just noticed there's a two pack sample with purchase of Kiehl's items in the shop!

OMG--I just saw the Shea Terra whipped butters in the shop.  I've been wanting to purchase them directly from the company, but HATE paying shipping.  Now, I can use points and combine with another purchase for no shipping!!  YAY!  And I don't think BB previously sampled them, have they?  Maybe they'll be in some boxes this month....

November is going to be my third box. I'll be honest, I've been a little disappointed so far. I've heard stories about the great boxes in early 2012, and I feel like I joined excited about that and then got crappy boxes. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Here's hoping November is better.

BB said on their facebook page that the whole cologne in November's box ties in with the theme of giving.  I think it's more like " Get someone to give something out of their box to a dude so you can get more members at BB Man" smh. 

To me, that sounds more like, "We gave you something that we knew you didn't want, so you could whore yourself out for us." What if I am a lesbian? What if none of the men in my life wear cologne? I mean, I might not mind getting dog toys in my Birchbox, because I have a dog. But I have to admit it wouldn't be an appropriate thing for them to send, even if they partnered with the humane society that month. I love getting perfume. I will try any women's or unisex fragrance they send. I don't want to smell anything like a man, and my husband won't wear regular cologne, he is super picky. I just feel like my beauty box that I paid for should not include something that is specifically made for a man. I will complain if they send it to me, but in general I have liked my boxes so far.

The good news, is that my painting instructor loves Luna bars, so now I have someone to get rid of them for me.

Same here.  I'm hoping that means at least we'll get the chocolate as consolation. 

agreed...

I haven't seen anyone mention getting this box so I thought I would share. I saw this pic on instagram. 

EEK I can't figure out how to do the spoiler right so I took off the pic so I won't ruin it for people. If someone can tell me how I will add it again! It's a good box! Lol

maybe i'm stingy but i buy birchbox for MYSELF not to give to my boyfriend or my dad (and both hate stuff like that)

I agree 100%. I got a sample of Varvatos cologne in one of my boxes this summer. It was not welcomed then, and it won't be welcomed now.

So, there are some fun things in the BB shop..picked up two more Eyeko liners, a Shea Terra body butter in white chocolate, and a plus two pack.. total cost= $58.. but I only paid $8! Thank you BB points!

Individual ones are $12, so it's a bit of a deal. But a little bit of a grab bag, since the details say you might receive items A, B, or C. Packaging is super cute, though.

I'm seeing something completely different.  I'm seeing a cornucopia with a 2 ml Birchbox pink lipgloss and a 7 ml perfume rollerball.  Not one or the other but both of them, and it's $42.

Oops! I had two different pages open! Scratch my last comment, I was not paying attention and my comment was regarding the Jouer party pack thing. My bad lol. Thanks for catching that.

That was a very good box! The whiskey stones are cool, however not terribly effective. ETA: apparently I'm not so good at using the quotes yet

 

[beautynewbie]

Any ideas on when we will be able to see the November boxes on the site?

How can we find the box number? I got the bug to peek at Instagram for a minute and it seems there a few boxes that are very different from one another. . I'm dying for the box descriptions.
