Birchbox November 2012

[Beautybabe090]

My sisters box shipped on the 6th, she didnt get it yet but no shipping for me 

. I really honestly just would be happy with the bath bomb, mascara, stilla, or mox. I've always loved all my boxes so hopefully my luck will continue... unlike my sister who enjoys calling her birchboxes her witchboxes because of how terrible they are!

I'm so flippin' happy. This month's box is way better than last month! and it arrived way earlier than expected.

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.

 

That is quite an impressive lot of Lush products - the next time you move, remember to tell the real estate agent that a 'big tub' is a must!

They have the chocolate at Market Of Choice if they have those where you live /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> they are amazing. Oh and I'm also curious what your box weighs I would freaking LOVE this box. Mascara and nail polish are my 2 fave items.

I don’t believe we have those here, but thanks for the suggestion. My box weighed 0.5247. I hope you get the same box or at least another one you love. If not, I have a feeling some/most of my box will end up on my trade list. I got a mascara from Ipsy (I hate that name!) last month with a 50/50 chance of getting another one this month. That's a lot of mascara to use up before they dry out, so we'll see.

I got the hair powder a few months ago, and I love it. It works nicely and the scent is subtle and disappears quickly. I can't stand smelly products! Also, because I hated the packaging, I dumped the packet into a sifter jar so it stays clean and dry.

That's good to hear, I've been dying to find one that works for me. So's my mother, so I told her I'd divide it between two coastal scents sifter jars I bought and give her one.

Have you looked for Chuao at Walmart? I have seen it at our local Walmart before! The Honeycomb one just might be my favorite.  

I've looked everywhere, in stores and online and have had horrible luck so far. Hopefully this month will be my chance since Birchbox carries everything they send out that month.

Grocery 13

CIBO Express

Whole Foods

Crate & Barrel

Target

Wegmans

Fresh Market

Are all in the Philly area and all carry them. Maybe not every location does, but the store locator on the chuao site brought up multiple locations.

I got my box a whole 3 days earlier than projected. Amazing- they've stepped it up apparently.

I got the Jouer fragrance cornucopia (notes of gardenia,jasmine, and honeysuckle- quite possibly my favorite scent of anything bb has given me), the lulu organics dry shampoo, the modelco lip gloss, the sumita eye liner (the cap was on and totally fine luckily) and the soyjoy (given to the mister). However, totally thrilled that I got TWO FULL SIZED MAKEUP items, totally surprised. Maybe they're responding to the competition they've got from ipsy/myglam? Pic's  a bit blurry, sorry.

Anyone want  a code to join birchbox? Not a referal code, the one to get off the waitlist and get your first box... I have one and I already signed up, so no need for  it. Let me know asap!

I do, please!   /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I went though all of the images I could find on the cloudfront site, and I noticed that every box had stila, Modelco (mascara or lipgloss), or both.  So I'm going to play pick-your-box now.  It looks like this month's standard formula is one makeup item, one body/hair item, one face/nail item, one fragrance item, and one lifestyle item, so based on those preview pictures, I would pick:

• Modelco lip gloss
• the blue etoile nail polish (I will always go for a blue nail polish whenever that's an option!)
• one love organics body serum
• jouer roll-on perfume oil (if I have to have a fragrance, I'll always pick the oil because I can't wear alcohol-based stuff)
• chuao chocolate 

And this pretty much guarantees I will never get any of these things!

I think I would pick your exact (fake) box!   /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

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!

If you don't think you'll use the mascara, I'd love to trade something for it! I haven't even gotten my box yet, but I'm a mascara fiend, haha!

Here!  Boxes aren't up yet, though, or they're not up using the same URL pattern as October.

Thanks, I tried that earlier and must've spelled it wrong or something? lol

ETA - oh I didn't take the -1 off the end, maybe.
