I am!  I am really excited about it.  I haven't tried the Jouer Lip Enhancer and I love Essie, of course!  I think the two MALIN+GOETZ products and the Supergoop are foil packets, though.  
Yeah, it's not a bad box! I think one of the M&G products might be a bottle, I know one is a packet though (the grapefruit cleanser) because I got a sample of it by emailing the company and asking for it, but it's still good stuff. Is your tracking info updated? I've had my number since last week but it still says the info is unavailable. I got the shipping email on Wed. night but I'm not necessarily convinced it has actually shipped...

Yup, you can, you just can't use 2 promo codes in one order. I just cashed in 400 points last month with my 6 month discount. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
Hi Guys! I don't know if this has already been posted (so many pages to sift through!!), but I know in the video they showed three shades they were sampling in the Goop boxes from the Essie fall collection, and it looks like it's these: http://www.essie.com/shop/latest-collections-c-2_21.html Just wanted to know everyone's thoughts, as I'm one of the Box 1's, and no one has yet to receive an Essie polish!! Sooo can't wait to see what comes!!! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I have super friendly ladies at my Sephora JCP, which is where I go. If I can't find stuff there, I buy online. I have to typically ask to sample, but they're always nice and understand the wish to test drive before buying!
Do you know if the Sephora JCP's are accepting the Beauty Insider card yet? I know they were not for the longest time and I missed out on a ton of points.

I KNOW! I got box 16, which also has the Essie, but I have no idea what they are sending us! My box page still just shows a picture of a box with no products, and when you click on the polish it shows 6 colors and evidently they are all out of stock?!? Confused

Still no update on tracking have put them in the USPS tracking and nothing.

I received my tracking since Monday, is anyone else in the same boat?

I always give my email address to look me up and never had issues. The ladies always tell me my point balance, too. There's usually a display by the registers with the available rewards for cashing in points.

I'm getting Box 2. I'd be happy with any of those colors, but really, really like the dark green one. Wonder if they will be the mini-sized Essies ? 

 
Same here...as I was typing the email I was thinking the same thing!  And then I'll feel dumb because they'll be like "What are you talking about?  Your box has shipped already."
Yea, I got an auto reply from BBOps "Your request has been received and is being reviewed by an Operations Associate. If you require immediate assistance (order cancellation, billing update, address change), give us a call at 877-487-7272 Monday - Friday 9am to 5pm EST. Also, you might find the answer to your question by checking out our FAQ, at https://www.birchbox.com/about/faq. Our current response time is 2 business days. In the meantime, why not check out some of our how-to videos! Ladies: Three must have fashion trends for fall: http://birch.ly/UVZC32 Gents: Check out the October sneak peek video: http://birch.ly/Q0itqw Be in touch soon, Operations Team" Side note: sorry BB already watched that video and wouldn't be caught dead in any of those outfits. I went to the madewell site a few weeks ago and had an anxiety attack when I saw how much everything cost! One sweater cost almost as much as my food budget for my family for a week! I have to laugh!

Same here.  They sent me a tracking code but it hasn't updated yet.  Oooo, I hope one of the M&G is a bottle!

I was reading a few comments on another site and a lot of people are really happy with the green! I guess it's really pretty on! I am hoping to get the recessionista or skirting the issue!! I, too, am wondering about the mini sized polish? Who knows!
 
I think a lot of us are.

yup. on facebook birchbox told me it would take 3-5 days for it to update, even though that's clearly not what it says on the UPS website.

I sent them an email, but I think they're chickening out of giving most of us points. : So frustrating.

 
How are people purchasing another Birchbox without going on the waiting list and also receiving the October box this late in the game?

Actually, if you go on the Birchbox site, it specifically says this:
There are six gorgeous shades: carry on, a deep, vampy burgundy that dries to a high-gloss finish power clutch, an eye-catching, rich gray-green lady like, a sophisticated soft mauve master plan, a soft grey neo whimsical, a classic rose-plum size matters, a hot ruby red
3 of them were featured in the video. Interestingly, none of them are recent releases. I already have Size Matters as it was in last year's winter collection (I believe).
