Birchbox October 2012

[meetcutecrystal]

I am in for the Cali box. I made my own sample box today. I went to Sephora to get a Well Rested Eye by Bare Minerals. I checked the mail before I left and got a card for a deluxe sample of the Nars Orgasm illuminator. So I got my eye brightener and decided I needed an OPI nail polish in Ocean Love Potion. I go to check out and I got a free Blasted OPI nail polish in black (perfect for Halloween). They were having a promotion I didn't know about. Then I pulled out my free sample card and I got the Nars sample PLUS a Nars tinted moisturizer deluxe sample and a card for a deluxe size Smashbox BB cream next time I come. I also left with a Coach Poppy perfume sample (for my purse). I know retail therapy is costly but if I am having a truely crap day...I am going to Sephora.

I couldn't get mine open...it kind of squirted out instead of the back peeling off. I used a tiny bit and it was sorta gritty

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.

Possibly this is a response to all the complaints and they're now implementing this? Lol, either way, there's going to be complaints.

I got the bonus 100 points and box 32. I have a shipping number but it doesn't have any shipping info.

I unsubscribed this month and even thought I have been stalking this page, I am happy my run with birchbox is over

Did you e-mail them?

I received my e-mail on Monday morning and still no update even when I put my number in the USPS tracking info.

I'm really wanting to know what the sample size of the Naked Princess Naked Shine Luscious Lip Gloss. I saw someone posted a picture of the ones that were in the Look Bag, but for some reason I have a feeling that we're going to get a tiny capsule full of gloss or just a card with a tiny sample.

I'm getting box number three by the way. Are any of you getting that box? What are y'alls opinions on it. I personally don't like anything about it really.

If the lip gloss turns out to be a good size, the box will be worth it, but if not, I'm just one of the dud boxes in the sea of amazing boxes.

I have not emailed them because the email that I got said it would ship by the 13th, so I will wait until Monday.

For sure, don't stop sending in your opinions..that's what fuels change, but complaining over a FULL size Essie nail polish is just spoiled brattiness in my opinion. So yes, I agree with you 100%! 

Damn muscle woman!

 j/k I have had mine for over 5 months now and it has held up pretty good. I got mine directly from Sephora though on discount... I like the finish it gives to my face so I will keep buying them until I find something better. That's so cool that BB sent you one, I'd kill for a new one! 

hahahaaa. i must be! or maybe i washed it too rough??.. i got the cleanser for it in a box a few months after it had already split..  its still usable, but if i would have paid $25, i would have been very mad.. i used a face wash mild enough for my skin to wash it but too harsh for the blender i guess....

 

[Dena Fletcher]

my shipping info still hasnt updated and i got my email on monday..  its never not updated with in a day.. this is odd.... i see others are having this issue too? i wonder if the box didnt ship yet? is this the issue that is getting some the extra points?> any advice would be helpful....

 

[iPretty949]

Getting box 23 with these stuff. I forgot about that email so they automatically put me in the TRansformation box. Anybody have the same box as mine? I saw the luminizer from other pages in this forum. It is somewhat the size of the theBalm blushes that I have, I think this is okay with me.

 

[kawaiisquawks]

My box (9) came in a day early:

The Caudalie and Orofluido are both smaller than I thought they'd be but that's okay. since of course the Perfekt wins in the tiny department.

I just wonder how big the serum/oil samples are.  I see they no longer post pictures of the box with the samples and now they just show a picture of a box. I am guessing they did this so people cannot complain when their sample doesn't match the sample in the picture.  I think overall it makes it a lot less fun, but I get their reasoning. I just hope my samples aren't going to be packets, because if I am spending $85 on a serum, I need more than a packet sample to decide if it's worth it.

I am also getting this box!  Same with the shipping, I've had mine for >1 week without updates /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I'm getting box three too! I've been looking to see if anyone else got the naked princess lip gloss but haven't found anything yet. Not super stoked about the box, but I'm not exactly bummed. I usually end up liking most if the products in my bb. I'm hoping the lip gloss is a good size since that's the one thing I'm most excited about. I'd love to know when the box is coming. Had tracking for bout a week, just got the shipping email yesterday but no updates yet. I'm too impatient for this! Lol

BOX TWINS!!!! 

 

[LAtPoly]

Anyone with box 2?  What are your thoughts about it, if so?

I'm...okay with it.  Not going to stalk the tracking and rush to get it on day #1 but the serum and oil are interesting to me.  I just hope the samples of those products are decent sizes you can really try it out... And I'm happy with the full-size Essie.  I hope it's a darker shade as I dig those.

Editted: Nevermind.  There is a post about box 2 like five above mine, lol.  And no, my tracking hasn't updated yet either.  Sounds like everyone else feels the same way as me so far.  Intrigued but not uber-excited.

Something that's really bugging me is seeing a lot of posts (not necessarily here) complaining about not getting full sized products. I mean, really? We were never promised full sized products. It's so greedy to complain about that.
