I am a mascara fiend as well, good description. If I don't get one in my box, I will certainly be looking for one on the trade threads. Anyone who won't use the mascara should have no problem trading it.

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.

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.

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.

World Market always has Chuao, and many grocery stores carry it in the natural/organic foods section instead of the candy section. I've seen the brand at H-E-B, but I know that's a regional store and may not be anywhere outside of Texas. I've definitely seen it at Whole Foods, too.

True! I've actually been eying that mascara in particular for several months now!

I checked World Market yesterday. They didn't have them. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Temporarily down for maintenance! 

I'm entirely too excited that they "could" be putting up box pictures even though there's no reason to think that b/c they normally don't go down to do that, lol.

(sigh) I have too much laundry to finish before I sleep. Please help me birchbox. Give me something to doooooooo.

I was hoping the same thing. They did add the November store link a bit ago, so maybe soon...but not yet. (mopey sad face)

 

[MissLindaJean]

Lol, no puppy lips! They update late in the evening and we will see soon..of course, I'd prefer to be like the lucky ladies with boxes already in their hands lol. There's a lot of interesting looking stuff this month!

 

[amidea]

ugh i'm very unhappy with myself for attaching my gift sub to my regular sub when i did... this month looks great to me but i'm missing out on everything because my "welcome" box took the place of my november box /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[MyriadVoices]

My box is supposed to arrive on Tuesday... I told myself JUST THIS ONCE I wouldn't peek at spoilers, since I wouldn't have many days to wait before receiving the box... but I don't think I'm going to make it, haha!

I have an equal sized stash at his place. I usually only like baths in the winter months, because where I grew up it was cold showers for me during the summer, hot baths and I would have had a heat stroke

yea i live in a new campus owned apartment building, it's my last year so I didn't want to deal with the hassle of finding an apartment around campus, its absurd here. I love our apartment its has a huge lofted living room and my bedroom windows faces this every night: Gorgeous sunsets over San Francisco /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 



can't complain. if the building we want to live in has an availability for a 3br in April then I know that our next place will have a huge tub, like gigantic /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I am the craigslist clairvoyant and have managed to find all our friends housing and office spaces, so I have this unit on our short list for next year. (us in master plus two other guys in each of the smaller rooms)

I received the same box.  My eye pencil had the lid on the bottom and there wasn't a point/tip to my pencil. I'm sure mine it dry too without a cap. I just wrote them about it. 

Hi all! I've been lurking the past 4 months, which is how long I've been a BB subscriber. Never posted bc I have received the crappiest box offered each month and didn't want to complain. It was getting a little depressing getting little sample packets, tan towels (really?), and band aids each month when I was seeing full sized products, but I figured I'd give it time. So this month I get the Sumita liner, and low and behold there's no cap and the pencil is all dried up and has what looks like a white powder growing on the dried up liner tip. I've seen this before on liners that Ive forgotten about for years and when I found them this funky white stuff had grown on the liner tip. There's no way I'm going to use this on my eyes! I emailed BB and am awaiting a reply. I guess the saddest part is that I'm in Jersey (username gives it away!) and have damage to my home and went 10 days without power after the hurricane and nor'easter so seeing this in my mailbox today really got me out of the funk I've been in trying to get my house in order. I open it and see two full sized items (liner and lip gloss - not my color tho so I won't use) and the liner is unusable, like many destroyed things in my home! On the upside, I LOVE THE rollerball perfume oil and will be looking to swap whatever I can for as many of these as I can /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Thanks for listening to my little rant and I'll be more vocal here from now on /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Anyway I already posted a review on my blog, link in the signature. Here is a spoiler photo.

That is a FANTASTIC box!!! Really really hoping to get this one!!

 I got the men's cologne that my fiance got in his November birchbox man :-( I seriously feel jipped out of a sample. Why would they put a men's sample to "gift" to someone in some boxes but not all of them? again birchbox is playing favorites. 

 

[ahkae]

Mine's only show October's box. Even has the October shipping info instead of the November one earlier. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Chocolate Stila all over shimmer Miracle Skin Transformer instant skin perfector (is this a good sized sample? Anyone tried this??) Atelier Rose Perfume (highly allergic to roses, ha) Oscar blandi texturizing spray. My hair is thick and long and curly. I really don't need texture. Maybe I can use it like hairspray for my daughter for dance?
