YES I am obsessed with it. I'm sad that most of it is sold out on Birchbox.com and when I go to buy directly from Chuao they are charging $35 for shipping. I really need more chocopods in my life, they were so good. 

I was in Walgreen's at their Chicago State Street Store (across from the Old Marshall Field's) and they sold Chuao bars...

It's alright - I'm most excited to try the Orofluido that everyone's been raving about!

i MUST find these locally. thanks for the heads up

for everyone raving about the orofluido elixir, how do you use it? (especially directed at those who have normal (i.e. not thin or thick) hair that's not curly).  i tried it today and maybe i used too much but i'm pretty meh about it.

also, is there anyone out there who doesn't want their vitamins? /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Box 5!  Not sure if this was posted! I wish the Eve Lom was bigger because there isn't enough product to see how it reacts to my face. I also wish the Amika Hair Mask was in a package more suitable to storing between use. Otherwise-- can't really complain!
Here's Box 5! I'm new at this, hopefully I did it right /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Box twins! Thanks for posting this. I'm a little bummed the eve lom isn't a couple uses. I can't imagine spending 80 on a cleanser I only tried once. Super excited to try the mascara, hair mask and DDF!

i was torn btwn getting this and hair rules shampoo. hair rules won because their products are sulfate free. sulfates dry the hell out of my teeny weeny afro /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

i did hear awesome things about the orofluido but i doubt that it's for my hair type (kinky/curly).  hopefully we can get a sample shampoo or conditioner in a future box

Oh.. I didn't check the ingredients yet. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Thanks for the heads up! That's a bummer, since I have really dry hair.. Guess I won't be buying that then, unless we get samples, yeah /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />.

I could do without the vitamins.....

 

[prachisrk]

Don't think so. I emailed them today and they said it shipped on time :-/

I am!  I have a tracking number, but no updates yet.  You?

None /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Got tracking since Monday and nothing has updated.

I was wondering if we would be receiving both the oils or just one.

Seriously. I love r/makeupaddiction and the associated subs, r/beautyboxes but OMG people seriouslyyy internet pitchfork mob.

Thanks! Haha. I've been looking through some of the threads. There's a lot of sadness and rustled jimmies.

I got a good chuckle out of that. Rustled jimmies, indeed. I am now the proud recipient of downvotes for pointing out that most of the sample sizes aren't bad, and they're enough to get a good enough idea of whether or not you'd actually want to buy the product.

are your reddit handles the same as your mut handles? I feel like a one man protestor trying to preserve the name of Birchbox on the site right now.

If you have a USB cord to attach your phone to your PC then connect it that way. Depending on the make & model of the phone you might need to install software to access the phone via the PC. For example, I have a Motorola, can't recall which, but when I hook my phone to my PC I have to set it to become a media drive to access the photos via my PC.

Also, you can email them to yourself. 

I email to and from the same email address and they just pop up on my gmail account on my computer

then drag and drop onto the desktop and bam! pictures.

Yeah my ipsy and BB are traveling together /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I've had both for 3 months and this will be the second time they show up on the same day /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
