My box 5 was 0.75+ lb
I wonder why the discrepency
Thanks! I'll have to check out their website.

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.
bb's pic shows it as https://d2yookngm6r3u8.cloudfront.net/Box/1480.jpg
I love the modelco lipgloss because it's not sticky at all and gives such a pretty sheen! I just checked my birchbox account and it looks like I'm lucky enough to receive one as well (I was thinking about buying it last night, so I'm glad I waited to check my box contents)

I'm from Jersey too. Where in Jersey are you from? have you heard back from BB regarding the eyeliner?Originally Posted by Joiseygirl /img/forum/go_quote.gif
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
Thanks for listening to my little rant and I'll be more vocal here from now on
Actually, I would just change your profile. I have one with the following info (not my real info. This one was set up as an experiment to see what it would get) that gets a whole lot of skincare (this month, it's box 13: three skincare products, a fragrance, a hair product, and a highlighter):
that is a fantastic welcome box! I'd be all over that!

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
All in all, pretty happy with this box. I think this is my favorite box to date.
Box twins! I am super psyched, for this box.
I really wanted the mascara (Full Size!) and hair texture spray most of all, so the Marula oil was the icing on the cake. I already use argan oil, and am running low, so I am really looking forward to trying it.
The soap I am probably allergic to, and the men's cologne is a terrible thing for them to put into our boxes. I was going to complain about the latter, but I think since they gave me a full size mascara, I will let it slide.
