Birchbox October 2012

[JimmyJazz]

LMAO- every time I see "Fishsticks" I think of Dlisted.com... and I think I will be up for a while now reading up on your suggestion (the ONTD).

Out of curiosity - do you need two different credit cards if you have two different accounts? 

 

[Tia Marie]

I opted out.  Man, I hope I don't regret it.  

 

[Dianochka]

I just went for it it's a fun chance to take... No regrets! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[bbbrandnewww]

I opted out. Considering that they're using the term "lifestyle" and all my "lifestyle extras" have made me

, I'm deciding I'd rather take my chances with the usual BB crap.

 

[4loveofmakeup]

I opted out too, hoping I don't regret it!!

 

[aleeeshuh]

I'm in. I figured I wouldn't regret it since BB hasn't failed me since

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...

Haha cold, thin, and overly white-breaded.  I feel like a bad person laughing so much at that.

(I did opt in, just for giggles)

Am I the only one who did not receive this email yet? I have two accounts and neither have received it. A quick scan of my account on the BB website doesn't seem to have a place to opt in or out either...

I know that they are awful at responding to emails, but I shot them one anyway and I'll wait to see what they say about it before I opt in. Maybe they have some sort of boiler plate explanation of the Goop box that they're sending out that will help me make my decision.

If they respond, please post here what they say. I can't decide what to do yet and this may be helpful. Thank you!

 

[MarlaC]

I don't know what to do yet!! I think I might just opt out and hope for a good regular box *fingers crossed* but going to try and investigate more /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[SeptEllis]

the one time I'm happy to have 2 accounts (out of the last 5 months, 3 of them were the same box) so I can guarantee 2 different boxes!

 

[Lainy]

I decided to get the goop box..... If there's anything new in the October BB I'm sure they'll be putting those samples in the next few boxes. lol.
 

 

[xoxoelyse]

I just got my email and opted in. it said quantities are limited so i'm hoping its first come first serve, that is why I opted in right away. I think it will be fun to get something we normally wouldn't. I am so ready for a full sized makeup product, though! My August box and September box were kind of meh and I have been underwhelmed, so this is a fun way to mix it up. I do hate the name goop though lol I wish it was something pretty ;p

 

[sleepykat]

I opted in for the goop Birchbox. I like novelty. I looooove trading, too, so I don't think I will be disappointed either way. I loved my Vichy box and my Teen Vogue box.

 

[mmb334]

 I opted for the Goop Box. Spirit Beauty Lounge has "Goop Picks" - http://www.spiritbeautylounge.com/goop-picks/  - maybe some of those products could be included or give a hint as to what will be in the Box.

I wonder what the protocal for gift subscriptions is, I just bought one for my friend for her birthday. I don't even know when she finds out about it but I don't want her missing out on it either. 

Do giftees get an email to claim the subscription? I want to warn her to not delete the email if that's how it works.

I bought one for my friend recently and yes they do get an email to claim their box but I think it's just when you don't input an address - I didn't know which address my friend wanted her box sent to so she had to input that information herself. If you put in the address though, I believe they just send a box to her. But just to be safe tell her to check her birchbox emails ;-)

I was happy not to get the Teen Vogue box and was much happier with my regular birchbox that month.  The goop products on the website seem to be just what I would like in a box (something like the April boxes this year), so I've opted in for one account and out for another.

I doubt something sponsored by Gwenyth Paltrow being sent out to so many thousands of potential subscribers would ever be bad knowing the potential press.  Pretentious or not, I think it's going to be a fantastic collaboration, and I'm really excited!

 

[vogliadivintage]

I'm pretty sure the Essie polish and Vinexpert products are in the regular boxes.  Transform your skin for fall?  Transform nude nails?  Hrm...

 

[lovelockdown]

I opted in because I know I'd really regret it if it ends up being good. If not, then I can just look at a bad regular box and convince myself that's what I would have received .... lol.
