Birchbox November 2012

[tinkerbll695]

I think this box is great! edit: so the pic only shows when I hit quote or edit....any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

My box is due to arrive to me soon so I'm hoping I get one of the boxes that include the modelco stuff! I wouldn't mind the mascara, but I'm kind of drowning in mascara so I'm hoping to get the modelco lipgloss!

Love the cute jouer mini roller ball! I think the polish is full size as well! (1 of the 3 from the etoile winter collection that's in the BB store)

Edit: I think I finally got the hang of this spoiler tag thing....

Cripes! And forgive me for :icon_lol: , I'm not a firestarter, honest. My box weighs .4970 and here are the contents:

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Annick Goutal Petite Cherie vial-I know people have gotten this before and I was curious. OK, a little flouncy for my tastes. Masqueology Advanced 7D Solution-a really big plastic hypodermic with vit. D anti-aging cream. Might be good to use for administering meds to animals when it's empty. Impressive looking, anyway .20 oz. stila all over shimmer liquid luminizer-I'm not crazy about this type of product, I have enough shine. Nice size sample with a brush .05 oz Oscar Blandi Pronto Texture and Volume Spray- Seems like I've been getting Blandi something in most of my boxes lately. Good purse-size 1 0z. Beauty Extras: Masque Cleanse-face wash foil .03 oz. and Masqueology Serum Actif-anti-inflammatory mushroom and licorice extracts .03 oz. Not bad, could be worse, no food but no makeup either  

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

You did get a makeup item... But you said you're already shiny enough without it lol. You could try using it under eye shadow maybe. Some of your items look interesting, but I'm a big fan of skincare, so I'm biased. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I just received my shipping confirmation, but I've had the number for about 4 days now.

Also, I think we might be box twins! My box is .7380 lbs.

Yeah, I guess I discounted it because I thought it was useless to me. If my profile says combination skin, why would I be interested? But thats a good suggestion about using it for eyeshadow base. Its a pretty color. At this point I think I'd rather get skincare too because I'm drowning in lippies, shadows and mascara.

Has anyone had a box weigh .4360? Or around that weigh?

Mine should be here tomorrow its in the next town from mine /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Got my shipping info just now!  Weight is .7510 and projected delivery date is Nov. 14.  Getting excited, the boxes look good so far.

FWIW, to those getting the dry shampoo, I've gotten it in the past and love it.

Did anyone notice that they have those sample packs for ten dollars again...and one of them features the per-fekt lip thing that is one tiny blob??

Don't get me wrong, I did like the product and used my points to buy but why the hell would anyone spend $10 (even if you're using points) to purchase 2 samples when one of them is the size of my pinky nail?  Wth BB.  No offense but why would anyone spend $10 for two samples when one of them is that small?  Bad enough some months we end up getting mostly small samples in our monthly box, but to know you're paying $10 for something so small.  I don't get it.

**Edit--I don't see why anyone would spend $10 on it, but apparently when I first saw it on their page I didn't notice you can also get it free with an order or a certain amount.  That I get.

I have one of the heavy .6880 boxes headed my way.  It is scheduled for the 13th but I see that it is in town.  I hope the weight isn't about a cute .5 paperweight.

I think the 2 packs (and the $10 price tag) are there more for encouraging us to buy stuff so you can get the 2 packs for free. I don't really think they expect people to buy it for $10.

Got my box today, my weight was approx. .750 lbs. and I got

The Cupcake bath bomb thingy
ModelCo Mascara
Oscar Blandi Deluxe size texturizing spray
Cladrea Hand Soap (2 paper packets samples)
SoyJoy Bar
The pillowy envelope for gifting
Coupon for $15 off  custom-made shoes website
Stella Cadente Miss Me Parfum spray sample
 
Overall I am happy. Prolly won't use the mascara and the bath bomb, but I love the hand soap, although I probably won't buy fancy hand soap. Excited to try the hairspray and perfume! Soyjoy is going to the boys. I am eyeing a few things from the shop, too bad most of the stuff I love have been out of stock forever! I've saved up so much points to get a few things for virtually free!

totally! I really want one of these!

I made a purchase and qualified to get the plus two pack free. Depending on the contents, it'd be worth it to some to just buy it rather than look on EBay or unsuccessfully try to find it on our trade threads. Edited* I agree that BB is hoping people will purchase enough to get it for free, like an incentive. So you buy a little more and they're making money and getting rid of surplus inventory. Works for me; finally got some more Vasanti!

Ohhh, the 10th is a Saturday, so the box previews may go live tonight. It seems like if the 10th is on a weekend they update it on the friday before.

I can't really see what's in it, the pic is a little dark. What'd you get and what was your weight, if you don't mind? There seems to be pretty good variations in the box weights, from .4 up to .7 almost..

This is a great box! And it seems like a couple more items than other boxes but I think that BB has been getting better with trying to even out box values which is nice.
