Just received by box today!!! Here's what I got:

Archipleago Pomegranate Body Soap - smells really nice but I don't usually use bar soap in the shower.

Marula Omega Rich Pure Marula Oil - small sample but will definitely try to use it. Glad to have a face oil instead of a hair oil for a change (although I love those also!)
ModelCo Fibre Lashxtend Mascara - FULL SIZE! Pretty sure this is full size, first time I've ever received something full sized in my BB, so even if I end up hating it, I am excited!
Oscar Blandi Pronto Texture & Volume Spray - excited to try to use this, although I am thinking that it will take some practice to figure out how to really get it to work.
John Varvatos Arisan cologne for men - obviously, least excited about this, but I'm sure I will find some nice boy to give it to :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
 
All in all, pretty happy with this box. I think this is my favorite box to date.

 
I can honestly say, I'd be pretty excited to have at least one thing in each of those boxes. I can't wait to see what I'll get. I'm kinda hoping for the Mox just because I love lip things and well, I was supposed to get it in my box last month but got a completely different box than the one thats on my account. :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> haha.

 
yay! thank you! and i was also wondering if anyone who has a po box could tell me if its going to go in the actual po box? or do i go up to the lady and ask for it?

Should be in your PO Box, depending on the size you have. Or else a slip to pick up at the counter will be in there.
 
BB looks like they are stepping up this month.  From what I allowed myself to see - these all look like pretty decent boxes.  

I thought my Ulta purchase would help me wait longer....but nope. I still can't wait to see what box I'm gonna get!

As much as I love soap - Bar soap doesn't suds up to well with my extremely hard water.  My fiance found that one out when I first moved here.  

BUT how does it smell? (the pomegranate stuff) 

Keep sharing ladies - I feel like I'm living through you!

 
My tracking number hasn't updated. Boo-urns. But man, there's a lot of stuff I'm seeing that I wouldn't mind trying. The Oscar Blandi stuff...I need dis. I don't take baths (only showers), but that bath bomb would be nice. I'm going to New Jersey in January, and that seems like a luxurious treat to take with me and use in the hotel. I don't really want the mascara just because I'm up to my eyeballs in mascara samples, or the nail polish

OMG the CUPCAKE IS FREAKING CUTE!!!
Seriously!! I really, really hope I get one. Bath stuff is one of my favorite things. But most items for this month's box seem pretty awesome. Quite varied - hopefully just about everyone will have SOMETHING that they really like.

I'm also glad because I gave my sister a 3 month subscription for her birthday, and last month wasn't great (she didn't know it though, she's new to this whole thing) because it was her welcome box, but I hope something blows her away.

 
Did you guys see the potato chip chocolate bar? Hello, stoner special! lol I think that would be interesting to try...I'm not above it!

 
I'd take one of each chocolate sample thankyouverymuch....god...i'm so hormonal right now.  I got chocolate rage early today (meaning: I was willing to kill for a piece)

I really hope I get that one too! Trader Joe's sold something similar which I tried and it was delish!

The pomegranate soap smells really good. Just don't really use that type very much. I'm a body wash kinda gal. Maybe I can use it for hands in my bathroom, though.

If I get it I'll probably put it in my underwear drawer.

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!
This will probably be my box! I'm excited even though I was kind of hoping for the nail polish, as usual.

The cupcake is SO CUTE, I will be taking my first bath (instead of shower) in a LONG time just to try it out! My mum is a mascara nut so I'm going to give it to her since I still have to make my way through about 8 different mascaras. I'll probably also give her the perfume because I'm picky with them. I've always heard great things about the Caldrea soap so I'm excited to try that too. The only thing I'm not sure I'll use is the texturizing spray because I already have curly and thick hair that has no volume/texture problems, but I'll definitely try it out. It looks like the SoyJoy is gluten free so I'll even be able to try a bite of that.
 
Of course now I am obsessing over the cupcake. I have a Lush hoarding problem, and the only drawback to my new apartment is that it doesn't have a bath tub. 

I have these boxes just sitting around making my room smell awesome. I hava a whole nother box at my boyfriends apartment, thankfully there is a tub there (albeit not exactly big enough for a lush bath, but I make due) I am not buying any Lush this holiday season I swear.

Does anyone know when the box images will be updated to our accounts?  

Just wondering since tomorrow is the 10th and it's a Saturday.

Thanks,

I'm getting antsy. I loved the spoilers, even though I had more time to complain. My shipping hasn't updated and I so want a good box to make up for last month's which was worth about $13.
