I sent them an email and attached the pictures




*mourns the poor cupcake*

I just feel bad contacting CS so much because I was sent the wrong in last month's box too, and they sent a replacement...which then got lost so they had to give me credit. @_@ Now this. I don't want to be a whiner, but having to contact them about these things is also an inconvenience to me... *sigh*

i've seen a couple on blogs that were fine.  I'm sure that they would be willing to send you another one, especially since they are encouraging giving this month!

I have 2 subscriptions and both are still showing the October box.   I'm starting to get a little mad, since it seems that a lot of people already have thier boxes and I can't even see what I'm getting.  I understand that some boxes are shipping late due to the big storm, and I'm ok with that.  I just want my boxes to update on the Birchbox website.  I'm beginning to wonder if they forgot me!

Right?? I even pulled up my credit card online to make sure it had been charged (it was). I can wait.. But I want to know what I am getting!

): *sigh* I hope so or else I'm going to have to photograph this and put it on my blog. I was super excited to get my box because I thought I could write about it, but now I have to wait for the new one to be sent to me... unless if they want me to put this bloody cupcake up lol.

This cupcake still makes me so sad... Y_Y

I have some birchbox points I want to use. I wanted to get some hair products and haven't had that many hair samples I've liked (except Miss Jessie's quick curls, which I'm getting). I have fine curly dry hair. I was looking at the orofluido.....but then I saw sedu and the amika one and am now terribly indecisive. (I loved Kerastase elixir, but even with points I cannot bring myself to pay the $54). Any help would be HUGELY appreciated!

Are you looking for an oil or styling cream/gel? I'm thinking I want to try the new stuff coming in boxes this month, but I didn't receive any /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Although, it's pretty reasonable in the store, so I may just buy one.

I haven't got my box yet, but I am getting curly hair rules curl keeper (which is even have decent I will buy, because it is fairly cheap). I'm looking at oils, but I am a sucker for hair products--anything...i keep thinking there is some product that will magically transform my curls into anna lynne mccord's AMAZING curls

I've made cupcake bath bombs at home...they're REALLY cute and fairly easy if you can source your materials (I use Brambleberry but there are other places and even Michael's carries soap making stuff.)  

Here's the tutorial that I used. They turned out so cute!  <3

I'm looking at the oils, but honestly I am a sucker for hair products. I keep thinking there is some product out there that will transform my hair into anna lynne mccord's AMAZING big curls. I am getting the curly hair rules curl keeper this month, which is even half way decent I will likely get too, because it is fairly cheap. I have 500 points and a 20% off coupon...which is great (but bad, because I will buy more)

I have naturally curly hair, relaxed two+ years ago and curling like crazy again..I have never found one HG product. I did start the no poo method and feel like my hair is better and softer. I usually use a serum/oil on wet hair(mostly the ends and back of my hair, then a quick gloss over when dry), then mix any curl/thickening cream with a cream gel and distribute through my hair. Can't speak for the Orofluido, haven't tried it yet..but happy to share I'm getting some soon! Sorry.. guess I'm not so helpful lol. I did like the Miss Jessie's, but one or two of their products smelled funny.

Maybe one or both of our boxes on the site are wrong?  I can only hope. hah.  I'm not wowed by that box at all.  Maybe I'll like the stuff when it comes.

I got the lavender scented OLO oil.  I have a friend who is super sensitive to scented products, so I can't imagine slathering it all over, but I'm thinking I will use it as aromatherapy on my pressure points before bed... I'm going to try it tonight!  Seems like the sample will go a long way like that!  

 

[MissLindaJean]

My cupcake was in perfect condition. Looked good enough to eat. HOWEVER I took a bath dropped it in when it was 2/3 full and nothing happened. No bubbles, color water change, no different scent in the air, no skin softer than usual. It dissolved into absolutely nothing. What a dud and I am so glad I did not add this to my shopping cart when the holiday store opened up.

Thank you for that! I put those in my cart ever since I first spotted them.. if they serve no purpose than looking cute, I'll just stick to my usual bombs and salts lol.

Hello, November will be my second month with BB. I really wish they wouldn't put food in the boxes

. I really want beauty samples. Haven't received November box yet,so I will be letting you guys know how it goes. Last month it had Tea?Diet-bar?

...A full size cleanser, sample of a great lip gloss color,( I did purchase however),under eye concealer and some olive oil samples.

the thing with birchbox is that they've geared themselves more towards "beauty & lifestyle" now, so you might as well just expect a lifestyle item each month. counting this month i will have gotten 3 food items out of my past 9 boxes, but they've also put in different items as well for their lifestyle picks.

 

[daisyheadmaisy]

Mine is:

• Style or Beauty Blogs
• Semi-proficient
• Face cream
• Experiment & Change beauty routine, how-tos and tips
• Classic
• normal, fine hair
• Brown hair
• caucasian 
• light complexion
• normal skin
• concern aging
• 40 
• 86, 000-110,999
• friend
• mother of 0-10 & active

I dunno how else I could switch it around.

It's funny my profile is almost exactly the same as yours except I wrote medium skin.. And I was getting all skin care items, so I changed my splurge to makeup... And I still got box 13 which isn't too bad, but I think I might change my concern of aging skin next. But I do really like some of the creams I've received.

Thanks for sharing! I can't wait to try and make them.  They would be cute for gifts as well .

Bahaha, I wonder if I'm the only one excited about the food item? It doesn't bother me since it's a lifestyle extra, and I really, really want the potato chip one. I love salt and chocolate. Yummy.

...now if only I knew what my second box contained! Oh well. I'm pleased with the box on my main account - it's box three. The stila item is interesting, even though I have high beam and never use it. I don't know if I'll use the texturizing spray, but I do like that it's something new. I'll experiment! After all, BB is about trying new things, so even if it doesn't work out, I'll know never to buy something like it. (Or, I might adore it!) I have a favorite perfume, but I'll still try the one I'm getting, or I'll give it to my sister. The primer/corrector will be nice to try, too! I have a sample of Smashbox's primer, and I like it. I'm always up for trying new things.

So yes. Overall, nothing that I am beating down the door to get, per se, but I like that all my items are new things for me to test out. I'm looking forward to getting this box! Maybe my second account will have some of the other cool items, like the mascara or bath bomb! =)

Think i'm going to cancel. Been hoping since May to get a good box. Was excited to see the pics on instagram with the mascara and stuff, then realized I'm getting  a bunch of anti-aging products. wtf? 

 

[arendish]

What color of the luminzer is everyone getting?
