Thanks for nothing, Birchbox. Did you even READ my beauty profile? Definitely thinking of switching to Look Bag or Ipsy. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

You got my dream box!!

Yay! Boscia BB cream is finally back in stock.. I need my box so I can review and get an even # of points.. although, I should be getting another coupon code next month, nine months already! I should wait..buuuut.. lol

My box: 

It's not an awful box and I'm open to trying everything, but this was definitely one of the boxes I wasn't interested in at all. Hoping to fall in love with the highlighter and body cream, and the foil packs should be fun to play with. So jelly of anyone that got chocolate, cupcake bath bombs, polish, or texturizing spray! 

 

[daisyheadmaisy]

It was in two foil packets, I got about 4 uses of it. I was impressed enough from that many uses to put it on my to buy list!

Is it just me or are the chocolates not new to BB? I have most deff tried one before (the spicy one), and I could have sworn it was in a Birchbox. This was maybe a year ago if not more.

They're not new.  I think a couple of the flavors are new, and the packaging (at least on the ChocoPod size) is new, but this is a brand they've had around for a while.

Just checked and i got the same box. I'm actually not excited about anything in it... Yikes 

 I think at the end of 2012 I might let go of BB, which is hard to do.. But if IPSY keeps it up, I'll be fine /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Maybe even add a second sub from IPSY if they start to get a larger array and selection of colors.

My local Burke's Outlet has a set of Color Club nail polishes for $9.99, seems like it was a pack of 10 (full size). I was tempted to get a set, but I have so much polish and I rarely use it. I have less than 10 bottles and it is a lifetime supply. Wish I had a local TJM, Marshall's or Ross instead.

Looks like I am getting box 9, and one of the items is for men?!

That's a great deal! I picked up a 7 pack earlier this year at Ross for $8, so pretty close. Those stores are great, but can be hit and miss. Stuff will be tampered with, everything's disorganized. But I'm patient and am happy to wade through the crap to find some good bargains lol!

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

I'm from Jersey too! We just got power back for the first day.  I'm in Monmouth County near the beach. Email them about the pencil.  I did and they gave me 100 points.

Has anyones shipping for box 21 updated yet?

Thanks!!! I've been trying to figure out where and how to look at the Nov BB boxes!

 

[goldenmeans]

Finally have power back after 12 days. The only bright spot in this nightmare was getting my two boxes. I got:

Perfect timing on the hair powder, since I had no running water. Love the nail polish, mascaras, and perfume. I'm still waiting for it to get warm enough in my bathroom to take a shower, bit as soon as it does I'm going to give the One Love Organics serum a try. I got the Lavender scent and it smells great. Then I think I'll give myself a manicure- I got the Berry color. I even like the cologne, which I will use for myself. I think it smells a little too girly for a man, anyway. Overall, great boxes!

If any of you ladies doesn't want your Modelco lipgloss in the reddish color or Sumita eyeliner please please pretty please PM me and I'll send an updated trade list! Thanks in advance!

My local Marshall's and Ross has had Color Club the last few weeks as well. Picked up a 2 bottle set from the holiday 2012 collection (ho ho holly and snowflakes) for $2.99 last weekend!
