haven't seen this yet, but I entered my email anyways! i wonder if this is their Limited Edition box or another subscription service with more lifestyle goods?

[nelliebelle1197]

No. It means they screwed up the pics and posted the Blandi twice.

And someone answered you honestly. You can't complain yet because the shipping cycle hasn't ended. I don't know how long you have been subscribed, but just because you are in a certain wave for a few months doesn't mean your box will always be in that shipping wave. If your account hasn't updated, then it is way too early to complain.

That is why I like to punctuate posts with

completely irrelevant emoticons.

Easy..everyone has thoughts, opinions, and feelings. Plus, we aren't face to face, only reading words and context can be misinterpreted. Sometimes a direct response and one you didn't expect may inflame you. We're people...fallible and hormonal lol. Add in beauty junkie, hoarder, subber, consumer, mascara fiend, glitter farts, occasional lippie overdoses and it can get Cray Cray... O_O

I loveeeeee that bal color, like LOVE LOVE. I have so many "neutral" bags, seriously they are all brown or black. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />



I really want to spice up my collection with something colorful this christmas, but then I talk myself out of it by convincing myself I'll never use any bag in a bright color. I am seriously lusting after the Velo in Lagon  

as for what to put in those little purse bags, I stumbled upon this youtuber, OrganizedlikeJen when I was looking up packing tips, and she has really thorough videos for what she calls her "walking pharmacies" tons of helpful information and ideas /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

If anyone has a swatch of the etoile polish I would love to see it. I'm thinking of buying one with my points.

 

[bluemustang]

Can I complain to them for points since my box hasn't shipped yet? Or do I let it go? It sounds like my Ipsy will be here tomorrow and usually they come AFTER my birchbox. I want to be understanding of shipping problems etc. caused by the hurricane but my account hasn't even updated. I'm just trying to not get mad and stomp my feet like an impatient ungrateful little...you-know...brat...

I get ya, I am really annoyed that my October box is still showing. I know they have until the 15th to give me a tracking number (it's blank right now) and I can deal with that.. But I am dying to know what I am getting and that they didn't forget about me lol.

2008 makeup clutch in bubblegum. I think it was around $400 - I would never spend that much on a makeup bag now but back when I had no kid, mortgage or care for saving I had a few. Most have been sold on ebay except for this and a 2010? Ruby.

*bows* It's gorgeous.

If your November box isn't showing up, you should probably email them. That's different than if they haven't shipped out your boxes.

I still haven't heard back when I emailed them on Friday about my (full size) Mary Lou Manizer that arrived totally shattered. Sigh I'm a BB fan but this is all getting me frustrated.. I'll give them a call tomorrow.

It's probably because they're off on weekends and today is a holiday.

My account is also stuck on October's box.

Same thing with me and I emailed them - no reply yet

They worked today.

I emailed them yesterday and was comped points for my damaged item today.

They've been saying there's a 2 work day response time to answering emails... if it's really a concern, I'd say call. I've almost always gotten to talk to someone the same day, even if I did have to wait for 4, 5 minutes sometimes or call 5-6 times.

I emailed them about it yesterday and they changed my page to November's box today.

I carry:

• $20
• feminine products
• flat pack of baby wipes/moist towlettes
• hand sanitizer
• foils of soap, lotion, creams, etc.
• Safety pins, 1 weenie, 1 medium, 1 gigantor
• Dental floss (so I can McGyver my way out of a situation)
• Gum
• small cardboard nail file
• bandaids
• single packs of tylenol, benadryl, stomach medicine (found these in a first aid kit)
• lip balm
• list of emergency numbers
• SD flash card
• superglue (a weenie little bottle)
• a teeny little zipper bag for jewelry that might get broken that you don't want floating around your bag
• tweezers

Everything fits oh so nicely in my Target beauty bag or an ipsy bag (just changed it over to my Target bag that I got the other day.  

 

[queenofperil]

Most days, I do not possess $20, let alone a spare $20 to keep in an emergency bag. Broke girl problems. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
