Birchbox November 2012

[Brelki]

I, like a few of you, don't have a delivery confirmation number; however, I also don't have a preview of what's coming in my box. (it still shows October).   /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

You may have to pay a few dollars for shipping (can't remember if they charge this or not). I have Bananas & Baobabs, White Chocolate, and Marula (smells like sweet almond/pistachio pudding, yum!) and they all work and smell wonderfully!

Shea terra doesn't send out samples anymore, after they were overloaded with requests.  Recently they have been sending out coupon codes instead

*sigh*  The box for my second account won't be here until next week...seems it wants to travel the whole state of Kansas again.  My first account's tracking hasn't updated yet.  And I'm being so good and not peeking at what I'm getting.  I'm not sure how much longer I can hold out!

I don't like opalescent polishes (that's just me, i know). I tried the mascara, it's OK. I appreciate the hair spray and the hair tie, though!

So funny, I thought the same exact thing when I smelled the Shea Terra sample as well.  I really like the product but I hate the smell.  I really would rather not smell like bananas

Looks like I won't get my box until tomorrow. It's probably sitting in my mailbox right now but it's so dark out that I'll just be letting a bunch of bugs into the house and getting eaten alive by mosquitoes if I go check. I'll grab it first thing in the morning instead since I don't have class until the afternoon.

Hah, I guess the world was feeling sorry for me. My mail lady just dropped my box off at my front door!

Same thing happened to me. I was missing 2 items in my BB. I called customer service and they credited  my account 100 BB points for the missing items.

Anyone get the neroli or/and the rose body serums from OLO? If so, would you be willing to trade or sell them? If so please PM me!

On an unrelated November BBox note, I bought the Jouer crackers featured in their holiday store. I am not going to blog about them because they are Christmas gifts for some beloved sisters who read. But I am happy to post here. They were BIG! Much bigger than I thought.

Yeah I wasn't crazy about the perfume either but kuddos to them for the cute packaging!  Do you have any clue how to use the Oscar Blandi??  Is it like Big Sexy Hair Root Pump?  I got it in my Fall Allure Beauty Box and have yet to try it because I had heard it is like dry shampoo....I wash my hair everyday because it gets oily so I don't have a need for dry shampoo.  If someone can help me out that would be FANTASTIC

The Jouer crackers are sooooo cute!!

I got my box today... #2

The Masquelogy cleanser & moisturizer are considered the "extras" which is just as well since they are worth 2 uses at most. Those, plus the fragrance, are going into my reject box (which will be given to friends to dig through).

I'm keeping the Masquelogy eye thingies to try.

The Stila illuminator is pretty. I won't use it all that often but yay for a color product I would never buy for myself!

The standout for me is the OLO body serum in neroli. I LOVE OLO products so I was excited to try this. I put a spritz on my arm, and it rubbed in nicely with a lovely fragrance that dissipated once it absorbed. I don't like perfumes or anything with a scent that sticks. And that patch of my arm feels SO hydrated. I think it will go well with the Savvy Boheme Summer in Spain cocoa butter I got in my October Goodebox.

All in all, happy with this box!

I find the above so frustrating as I didn't even receive a BOX in October and all I was given was 50 points.  Seems pretty unfair to me.  How were other's missing Oct. boxes handled?  Just curious.

On the other hand- excited for November.  Box 14 I think.

someone on twitter told me she got 5 samples of the same perfume in one box. how does that happen?

Seeing everyone's perfect cupcakes is making me more and more sad, lol ): At well, we can't win them all. For $10 I can get something else since I don't usually take baths anyway.

Are you kidding?  That is an incredible box!

I agree. That's a freaking awesome box! I was hoping for that box!!

8 ml

It's a very generously sized sample.

There were cupcake "crumbs" everywhere in my box haha but mine is definitely in way better shape than yours was. It was so sad to see something so pretty crushed up! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

On the topic of the cupcakes, has anyone gotten one that wasn't the white ribbon candy one?

I can't wait to try the mascara but I'm probably not going to use the oscar blandi because I have so much hair already lol

You are not missing out as the cupcakes intact or crushed did nothing to my bathwater.
