There was a small holiday gift catelog in my box.  One of the items was a deluxe subscription for $200 a year.  I wasn't aware there was a deluxe and I don't see it on the website and it is not a choice for upgrading my current subscription.  Does anyone know what is different, obviously better, with a deluxe?

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. 
I got the spicy one in my very first BB, in January.

Oh awesome! I sent them an email...so we will see what happens! Fingers crossed!
Yeah its the Sumita brand. I know they are only giving me $10 in points when its worth 11. Instead of arguing it'll take the points and santizer the pencil and hope its not as dry towards the middle.

That is odd....hmmm. I can see a small difference but that seems kind of big. I guess we'll see when I get my box. Probably stuffed with extra paper! lol

 
I'm getting box #3. I luv doing trades, but ...ugh... 3 items I won't use? Still, I'm excited about the chocolate and I am gonna see about getting it on Amazon cheap. And I know someone will want to trade a perfume sample or a lipgloss for the volumizer or the highlighter. On a brighter note, I am thrilled I did not get SoyJoy or a twistband hair tie. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I was disappointed that I did not get a perfume sample in my October Birchbox, so I asked for 2 at Ulta today. They were out of Aqua di Gioia and Clinique Happy, so when I asked for something similar to Aqua di Gioia, the lady gave me BGBG Max Azaria Bon Chic, which smells really nice, but very different from A di G, and Calvin Klein Euphoria, which is musky and horrible. Clearly she had not smelled them all herself. I am hoping to trade the Euphoria sample for one of the perfume samples from the November box. I am waiting until I actually get my box before I add anything to my trade list. I do not have a shipping notice. My November box contents are showing up on my Birchbox account, but I want to have everything in my hands before I actually start trying to arrange trades.

I hope Birchbox isn't offering this.  The current subscribers should be getting these "deluxe" samples.  People will be ANGRY and I bet a lot more people will be cancelling their subs.

What's it smell like? I'm getting the same box on one acct and I'm not familiar with it. Ladies keep saying good things, but I don't think I've ever used the brand at all.
Mine is chamomile scented. Not sure how to described it...kinda reminds me of a mans cologne. Kinda musky and woodsy but fresh at the same time. I am not really into oils but this actually didn't leave a residue or stickiness. I didn't know what

Yes.  This will cause hate and discontent.  Wow.

could you take a picture of the part of the small catalogue that mentioned the deluxe subscription and post it??

I agree 100%!

I signed up...not sure if I'll get this one or the next (either way, it'll be exciting...LOL!)  This one looks great though, so I'm kinda hoping but I won't be disappointed if it isn't.  Thanks for the recommend!  

Back to BB, I have $60 to spend...but I can't decide on what to get.  Everything looks so good but then I think...good enough?  Geez.

  I need to get off the computer for today I think.  LOL
I'm very excited for you! It's a really good sub! I even like the New Beauty magazine it comes with. It's perfect mind candy to browse through while your facial mask is drying. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Also on many occasions they throw in extra's that aren't listed on the site or in the booklet of contents.

In the past some of the extra's I received (all full size) were....a gorgeous lucite toothbrush, a big bottle of Elnet hairspray (before it was available in the states), a jar of energy+ B12 adult gummy vitamins, ( but don't worry they don't send food!),...etc... Anyway I should probably go to the New Beauty Test Tube message board and stop typing on here. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

As far as your BB shopping spree, I just saw a promo on the site, that if you spend $60 you can get two Baggu reusable totes. I think the totes are $25 if you buy them, but free if you are making a purchase over $60.

Enjoy! Happy Hauling!

My guess is that the sample sizes will be the same.  Birchbox can only send out what they get from the beauty companies and have no control over the size of samples.  I'm betting the "deluxe" is that there will be non-sample items, like there is in the Birchbox Man subscriptions.  The mens boxes have contained t-shirts, boxers, whiskey stones, etc. in addition to the samples.

 
Has anyone gotten the Atelier Cologne?  The picture of my box show what looks like a card.  Please tell me that they are not sending me a card with the scent on it (like the ones in catalogs).

Everyone seems disappointed in box 3 -- I'm actually looking forward to mine.  I have only used the powder type of luminizer so I will be interested to see how the liquid type will work.

Hmmm...good thinking.  More "lifestyle" stuff...

see when i thought "deluxe" i was thinking more along the lines of glossybox quality samples.

 
There is a bit about adding Birchbox Home but so far it seems to be all Jonathan Adler.  I find nothing on the site about this deluxe subscription.

I'm getting box 3, and I'm fine with it also.  The only thing I won't use is the luminizer.  I'm wondering the same thing about the cologne.  That would stink if it was a card only.  At least the Miracle Skin sample appears to be a tube instead of foil packet.

 
Hey Everyone! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> First time poster. Just wanted to share that I just was laughing the other day about how I had wasted so many points to buy the Oscar Blandi stuff, because it ended up smelling like Pledge furniture polish to me.  And what am I getting in this months box???

Just my luck. The same thing happened to me the previous month with the Amika sample. The difference is I actually liked that product. On another note...does anyone know if the miracle skin transformer product this month is clear or tinted? Thanks.
