Birchbox November 2012

[Jackieblue]

Not sure why I used a spoiler this late in the game, but there you have it. Overall I am very happy as I am a mascara junkie. The only product I wouldn't use is the hair powder, but looking through the boxes it was really mostly a good match for me. I don't care about the lifestyle extra when I could buy any of the food items at Wegmans. Those really are just extras. Not a lot of items but ones I very much want to try! Now update, shipping...

Nice job, Birchbox!

I'm getting box 11 as well.  It's hard to tell but the mascara is not full size, is it?

 

[astokes]

Yes! I'm getting (basically) my dream box.



ModelCo FIBRE LASHXTEND Lengthening Mascara (Looks to be full size in comparison to the box. Most mascaras aren't wider than a BB)
Chuao Chocolatier ChocoPod (Hope I get the flavor pictured! Potato chip)
Jouer Fragrance Cornucopia (Looks cute & I love Jouer so..)
Curly Hair Solutions Curl Keeper (Fits my profile, always looking for curl tamers)
stila all over shimmer liquid luminizer try-me-set (Yay! 2 makeup items!)

I hope I actually get this box and a box switching fiasco doesn't happen. >_<
Edit: This is Box#7.

I ended up with the following:

Archipelago Pomegranate Body Soap
Marula – The Leakey Collection Omega Rich Facial Oil
Oscar Blandi Pronto Texture & Volume Spray
ModelCo FIBRE LASHXTEND Lengthening Mascara
John Varvatos Artisan 2.5 oz

Overall, seems good to me, I am not picky. I will probably try to trade off the mascara, just because I am downing in it lately! The oil is not something I would normally try, but I said the same about the similar product in the last Ipsy and now I am totally down with it! Never have a clue as to what kind of fancy soap is good to buy, so I consider it a nice treat I would not normally get for myself.

The cologne extra, maybe I can get my husband to ditch his special occasion CK Obsession he has had for ages. It is literally still housed in a Kate Moss box from god knows when....

I'm getting box 4!!

So glad I get the texturizing spray! The gloss is full size but I feel like I have too many.
I dont like the hand soap samples cause Caldrea had already sent me free samples.  And why did I get the perfume! Ugh but I did get a serum from One Love Organics, and I also got no food items although this month I would have been fine with the chocolate.
Its an okay box I got one of the things I wanted so its okay.
And my tracking updated so it says I should get it the 15th but I always get it a few days earlier.

Box 7 for me though no tracking yet

 

[kewhicker]

My boxes updated! I am happy, it's a great way to start the weekend! I had hoped for the Jouer perfume, it's just so cute. I'll have to save for full size. But all in all, I shouldn't complain /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I am going to enjoy both! 

Box 20 on my first account: 

- lulu organics hair powder (I'm a dry shampoo fiend, this will be used) 

- modelco mascara (I love mascara) 

- miracle skin transformer vanish (I wanted to try this) 

- chuao chocolate (yum)

- atelier cologne rose anonyme petite (always happy to try something new) 

Box 3 on my second account: 

- oscar blandi texture & volume spray (I wanted to try this) 

- miracle skin transformer vanish (if i like it, now I have 2)

- chuao chocolate (double, yum) 

- atelier cologne rose anonyme petite (if i like it, now I have a spare) 

- stila shimmer (I can find a use for anything stila) 

 

[mellee]

I'm box 20 - hair powder, mascara, skin imperfection corrector, chocolate, and rose perfume.  I'm quite happy with that!  AND I'm happy they do repeats, so I can look forward to getting a few of the things I want to try but didn't get this month! 

 

[jannie135]

Box 7 for me!!

BOX TWINS!

I'm looking forward to everything in my box, I like the Masqueology products, and love Kiehl's.

  Same here! Kiehl's is wonderful, and I love getting skincare.

I can't wait to try that perfume, either.

Masqueology Revitalizing Eye Mask
One Love Organics® Aromatic Body Serum
MCMC Fragrance Phoenix Eau de Parfum
Masqueology 7D Moisture Cream
Masqueology Masque Cleanse
stila all over shimmer liquid luminizer try-me-set


Oscar Blandi Pronto Texture & Volume Spray
Caldrea Hand Soap
ModelCo FIBRE LASHXTEND Lengthening Mascara
SOYJOY Cranberry Snack Packs
Stella Cadente Miss Me Eau de Parfum 30ml
Feeling Smitten Bath Bomb

I am happy with both of my boxes this month I am glad I was able to avoid getting the men's cologne but the one item hair powder  I wanted to try I didn't get it. I was not a fan of the last Masqueology product I got but I will give these a try and see if I like them or not.

Just checked my account, and was shocked to see that my box has actually shipped! I'm getting the first box in this spoiler, and it has the 2 products I was really really hoping for, which is another shocker for me. Nice job, Birchbox. 

 

[Adrigirl81]

I am getting Box 11 and Box 7!!  Two mascaras, Stila shimmer liquid, and a BUNCH of other stuff I am excited to try!  Box 11 should be here today, but Box 7's tracking hasn't updated yet...

 

[lilsxkitten]

So I get to see what will be coming in my second sub!  It looks like a couple items are the same as the one that came yesterday..

sub 1: Box #9

Sub 2: Box #20

• 
  Atelier Cologne Rose Anonyme Petite Cologne Absolue$75.00
   
  
• 
  Chuao Chocolatier Assorted ChocoPod
  $7.95
  
• 
  Lulu Organics® Lavender + Clary Sage Hair Powder
  $30.00
  
• 
  Miracle Skin Transformerâ„¢ Vanish Instant Imperfection Corrector  $58.00
   
  
• 
  ModelCo FIBRE LASHXTEND Lengthening Mascara

I'm happy over all, more so with my second subscription.  Usually it's the other way around and my main subscription has the great stuff in it!

I have box 5! LOL am I the only person excited for the giant cupcake? There's like literally a 2% chance I'm going to use it since taking a bath vs. shower is inconvenient for me, but I think it's cute and charming. I'm trying to look on the bright side. I mean it's definitely not my #1 choice for a box, but based on the sizes this time, it looks like a reasonably good and it shipped in a timely manner. That's definitely a step up from last month ^__^ I have so much mascara though lol I'll not be needing more for another year... I really do want to try that new nail polish brand they have in the box. It's only in one box though. I wonder how they're justifying giving away so much colour club in so many other boxes. I guess they got a whole bunch of new subscribers last month from the goop thing who've never gotten it.

is the welcome box different from the monthly boxes?

 

[messjess18]

I'm trying very hard not to look at what box I'm getting. Haha I'm not cheating for once in my Birchox life haha!

 

[amidea]

so i got a gift sub that i tacked onto my regular account, so i got a welcome box this month instead of a november box.  the welcome box was sent immediately, before i redeemed the gift sub on my normal account.  sadly it only has 4 reviewable items (the lifestyle extra is a birchbox heart-shaped nail file that isn't even listed online).  but worse is that one of the products is a perfume i had already gotten in one of my boxes, so i can only leave a review for three items. i know it's not their fault for sending me a repeat since it wasn't technically part of my account yet, and i know there's no guarantee to be able to get a decent number of review points, but do you guys think there's any chance they'll take pity on me?

i'm guessing probably not, it just sucks to only be able to review three things this month

yup, my welcome box is not one of the november boxes. seems like they just send one out as soon as you buy a gift sub for someone.  mine had the eyeko skinny liner, mox lip butter, mary lou manizer, juicy perfume and a nail file.  it's a pretty good box so i'm not complaining, i just wish i had waited a little longer to active the gift sub and then i could have gotten a november box too! i'm so greedy...

I'm getting box 16, and I'm ok with that. The only thing that I really wanted to try was the MCMC Maine fragrance and I don't think they are sampling that. I have the full size of the Oscar B, thanks to Allure's Beauty Box, and I really like it.It is not powdery at all, no white cast in my brown hair. My hair is wimpy and can use all the texture I can find. I don't mind the bars last month I used some of my points to buy Luna bars, of all things. The gloss looks pretty, and the oil, being expensive, I'm hoping it does something AHMAZING.    

EDIT: My spoilers didn't work! Just the one.

Box twins!! I find the giant cupcake ADORABLE but I'm in the same boat as you haha. I'm definitely going to try to use it though because the little girl in me has always wanted to try a bath bomb!

Out of the entire box the only thing I probably won't be using is the Oscar Blandi, which is kind of sad since it's a very nice size, but I already have a crazy amount of curly hair that I don't think I'd need a spray like that.
