Birchbox October 2012

I didn't get this email. Can anyone link me to it to opt-in please? Thanks!

I absolutely hated my Teen Vogue box, and it was my intro box as well so it left a bad taste in my mouth. I gave away every single item in my box besides the hair tie. I'm opting out of this one.

Wait a minute... the NOT-Goop option (the regular October box) has a "Transformation" theme, according to the email. Speculation on the kinds of products that might be? I am pretty sure all items in BB would fall under the category of "Transformation," but I wondered if it brought to mind anything specific for other people.

considering buying a gift account for myself with the 200 points my aunt has on her account she doesn't use anymore, so that way i could have my cake and eat it too.

can people review the products received in the boxes for gift accounts?

My boyfriend was able to review all of the products he received in his Birchbox Man from the 3 month gift subscription I bought him.

I have two accounts and signed up for the goop box on one of them. I'm curious to see what the differences will be...

Here's to hoping it's not going to be a GOOP-y hot mess October!

and just my own two cents..may be the goop box will contain more lifestyle products? i.e. some gourmet food bits? or some uber fancy mink hair scrunchie that gwynnie <3s....she always talk like all of us are bazillionaires like her, oh yeah...and how much she loves rap music...ugh *side eye*

but I am still opting in...teehee, perhaps all that fancy schmancy-ness will translate into some cool products to try out, i don't so much care to buy anything full size from Birchbox, since i am subbed to so many boxes, I am flooded with samples and I have yet to use all of them. Plus, I find that when I am ready to buy a full size product from Birchbox, it is almost always out of stock, so I always just scoot over to Sephora.com instead (always with my 4% EBates cash back, thankyouverymuch). As for Gwyneth and her Goop, bless her heart. Hey, if you have benjamins lying around to keep you warm at night, why not blog about it right?

i think that's pretty spot-on! something new & kinda obscure would tickle my fancy...although i really hope my face will love it as much too (i flare up from time to time...result of trying too many things).

I opted in for the goop box. I had forgotten about the nailpolishes in the October spoilers. Now I wish I had said No. Too late, though, but I'm stull looking forward to the goop box because I'm hoping there's less chance of getting eyeliner stickers or a granola bar.

Maybe the Goop box will provide nail polishes too?

I still need the link to opt-in. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

When I logged into my Birchbox account today, the option to choose the goopbox or the regular box popped up. I chose the goopbox. The October 2012 Birchbox thread is going wild over this. Maybe we should move the discussion over there.

I'm going to do one Goop box and one regular box. I like obscure beauty products, which is what I'd imagine Fishstick and her website peddle, but I'd also like to get one of the Essie nail polishes. I'm assuming they'll be in the regular box, because Essie doesn't seem highfalutin enough for Goop.

Not sure if mentioning other boards is allowed, but if you Google Goop and ONTD you'll find some delightful snark on Gwyneth's ridiculous site...

I opted in! I'm excited!

 

[iugirl13]

I decided to opt in on my main account and will opt out on the other. I'd opt in for both but I'm really wanting an Essie polish and since Essie seems like it would be way too cheap for Goop, I'm hoping it's in the regular box. It's my new obsession.

I definitely want to try something new with Birchbox, I've gotten somewhat bored lately, and Goop seems like a perfect way to do this.

I got the opt in email for my other account. Should I stay with one goop and one normal or two goop?

 

[soccerkidtlk]

Still waiting for my email to opt in.. It's kind of hard to decide whether i should or not. I was not too pleased with my Gossip Girl themed box, but might as well give it a shot!
