I agree. I can't have gluten and I'm always a little bummed out if there's food that contains it in my box, but I get over it soon enough and someone in my family will eat it eventually, so it's not a waste. (I'd still rather not get food in my box, but it's not a cancellation point for me). I do think that BB should at least stop sending food products that have nuts in them though, but like you said, there's a chance of the cosmetics containing them as well so it's difficult to find where to draw the line. If I had severe allergies, I don't think I would risk getting a subscription service where I could potentially just open my package and end up in the hospital. It's just not worth it.

Thanks

Nope, just that there was a delay. I'm not too worried about it, as I expected this because of the Hurricane. I'm just glad that there's no issue. =)

I have box 20, and while my box page has updated, I've gotten no email and there's no shipping info.  Looks like 20 is a later one in general.  Edit to ad ~ the ones with the Miracle Skin Transformer didn't have pix of the box with contents until later (had the big pix at the bottom, but not the items by the box), so maybe that product was late getting to them.

Was this an Atelier cologne?  Because I had contacted them a few months ago about their women's perfumes.  They sent me 9 (!) different samples, and I've tried about 4 of them.  Some of the best scents I've ever smelled!  Except that I can pretty much dump them on my hair and clothes, and they're still gone before I leave the house.  =(  Breaks my heart.

No, it was the John Varvatos Artisan, although I have received an Atelier fragrance and had a similar "where did it go?" experience. So very sad!

If anyone has MOX or the spray oil and wants to do a trade; let me know.  I have lot of stuff from BB and IPSY.

Thanks

If you're interested in super moisturizing stuff, you may like Savvy Boheme's whipped cocoa butter. I got a sample in my Goodebox this month, and it moisturizes like nothing else. It takes about 30 seconds to soak into your skin before you stop looking especially shiny, but it feels sooooo goood all day long. The Shea Terra whipped body butters are great, too, but this one was more soothing than the Shea Terra, at least for me. I also enjoy the fragrance immensely, but it isn't so strong that it outlasts/overpowers your fragrance (like Palmer's Cocoa Butter). It smells like orange-infused dark chocolate.

Also, maybe someone pointed it out already, but I'm wondering why BB has 2013 listed in the box URLs?? Someone is ready for next year! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

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

Btw, a friend of mine also signed up NBTT on my recommendation this weekend. So I emailed customer service to confirm which tube she (and you) will be getting...do you want to know? Or want to be surprised?!

Does anyone else LOVE the lipgloss? 

At first, I was like what kind of basic ass, generic, dollar store packaging is this? It felt really flimsy and the mirror just looked off, but then I put it on and I was amazed at how much I liked it. It smells nice, and it went on so smooth! I now see why it is $18 on the BB site. So happy!

I agree - the packaging isn't luxurious, but the product itself is great (not sticky, smooth application, sheen lasts for a relatively long time)

I'm interested in trading for another lip gloss (preferably not used/swatched) if anyone sees something on my trade list that intrigues them!

Okay while I haven't got my box yet I did see what both my subs got.  I canceled my 2nd sub after only 3 months nothing was good and I replaced it with another.

I got box 3 and 9

 

[Loladevil]

Looks like I will get box #11, got an email from Birchbox on Friday but tracking number is still not active.

 

[prachisrk]

Still no clue on what I'm getting and no tracking info either. Also no mail today boo ;(

 

[heatwebb000]

I am signing up for test-tube does anyone want me to use them as my referral?

 

[BirchboxBabe]

First post!   I've been lurking for a long time.   What happened to the Birchbox Swap thread?   I can't find it, but I'd love to swap a couple things out from this box.

NM I found it.

 

[LisaLeah]

Please don't hesitate to contact us again with any other questions you may have.

Have a wonderful day!

Ditto...for both box # and no tracking update.

 

[jannie135]

I didn't get a shipping email, but I my tracking updated! (for box 7) The tracking NEVER updates for me... Woohoo~

 

[JackC]

Anyone else's information disappear this morning??  I had November box shipping info (though not updated) and information for my November box...  Both have now gone back to October info! So sad! :-(
