Birchbox October 2012

[Fluttershy]

If anyone wants to trade their Naked Lip gloss for a Mary Luminizer (I'm getting them in both of my boxes) let me know!!  I absolutely freaking LOVE Naked Princess lip glosses.. I got a sample set in the Look Bag and they are some of the most moisturizing and pretty looking lip glosses I have ever tried... they are super expensive though!!

Hahaha. Katie, that was my thought as well. Maybe they meant goop customer service?

Found a pic on Instagram of the size of the candle:

After I saw that the Kiehl's Rosa Artica eye cream was added, I was super excited about getting this box. I love the Jouer Lip Enhancer so another one won't be a problem. I use sunscreen every day when I walk my dog and go out, so the Supergoop serum will get used. The candle in my room is almost out so it's good timing with the Illume sample. And I get to munch on a Luna bar. Not bad. On a side note, the Smashbox full exposure mascara that I snagged from their Facebook giveaway arrived today! That was a nice surprise!

I'm suppose to be getting 2 of the naked princess lip glosses so if they aren't different colors, I'd love to trade! 

(FYI, I got my email yesterday and there are zero updates on it so I don't know when I'll be getting my boxes)

I'm just confused as to why people are getting 100 points. I get that your box hasn't shipped, but I've had tracking for about 8 days now (finally got an email yesterday) and mine still hasn't updated. I just don't see how it's fair that boxes that won't be moving until Saturday get the points, when there's plenty of us who have been waiting already that won't get points. I mean, for all I know my box hasn't actually left anywhere. I'm just a bit confused about the reasonings there...?

Possibly this is their response to people being upset last month?

I'm thinking they should have definitely done that last month, as well as this month, as opposed to just this month.

I hope they considered the possible backlash from the people livid about shipping who didn't get a response or any points to hear that people who got things shipped out a few days later than normal this month are now getting 100pts.

Oh,   I can only imagine what their facebook wall will look like then.

Well I called about my return that wasn't credited to my account and they fixed that for me and then asked if my items were shipped out and I never mentioned the 100 points or anything.  She asked me when I got my email and then said that the UPS site takes days to update and they've spoken to UPS about it and to check again next week.  She then told me that some people did get an email and are being credited 100 points because their boxes are being shipped out later.  I don't know why she brought it up as I only asked if my boxes were shipped or not.  I'm guessing that they've already started getting complaints and was cutting through the chase before I could complain about it.

I just received my Birchbox. I am canceling. 

Tea--not a beauty product

Luna Bar-not a beauty product
DDF Brightening Cleanser
Caudalie Radiance Serum
Lip perfection gel--I don't think enough lip gloss for ONE application is "deluxe sized"
Skin Transformer Face Foil packets--I kid you not the product inside is the size of a Tic-Tac





I'm emailing Gwyneth....she should not allow her good name to be sullied by Birchbox

My bf saw this and said "what's the point of samples that small... make your finger tips look younger?" LOL

I say we do it! 

I agree! I mean how hard can it be? Maybe we could just start out in CA, you know call it like "West Side Beauty Box" or "Cali Love Box" ...oohhh that one sounded bad. woops. 

I know ours would be amazing and no one would ever complain 

Who wants to sub with us?? Any takers?

Sweet! We'll already have a base market and everything! Yeah Cali Love Box would probably not be the best name choice... bahahaa

I received my box 21 today. Pic below with the muslin cloth unfurled.



I thought my box was fine. Not jumping for joy on the lip thingie but at the end of the day, not too shabby. The mascara is great! If I had not just bought the Mary-Louminizer a week ago I would have been super sadfaced about not getting one a box, because I was jonesing it bad. I think you guys will love it, and honestly, that sample will last a LONG time.

I was one of the people who complained on facebook, in particular about the paper flower sample. I just got off the phone with birchbox who told me people are loving the sample and size and are rushing to their site to buy the product, they also, for some reason, felt the need to tell me that full size lip glosses don't have that much product in them, so the small sample should not matter. Like that makes a difference when they're giving a sample the size of a baby aspirin

I got that sample in my Birchbox, too. And how the Hell am I supposed to apply it? I do not use the stick-my-finger-in-it kind of lipgloss because it's disgusting.
