Glad your box is in the area! That's odd about the 16th delivery date, although, my box was slated for delivery on the 15th according to USPS and I got it yesterday (so there's hope you'll receive it beforehand!). I wonder if you can just drive to the post office today and get it lol.
They definitely never indicated that. The 3 colors they featured in the preview video were from LAST year's fall collection. I was expecting them to be one of the six colors listed here: http://www.birchbox.com/shop/brands/essie/essie-nail-polish Fair Game definitely seems like a random choice.Fair Game is from their Resort collection iircÂFor some reason I thought they would be sending out polishes from their latest fall collection.

For those curious, the Essie is full sized. If anyone got another color and is interested in trading, let me know!
It's better than I expected/not as bad as some of the others posted, but the certainly isn't a banner month for BB. The only thing I won't use is the Joanna Vargas serum, but I'm not super jazzed about the other items.
The sprout lip balm is really nice though, I might buy the "flight" that comes with 4 with my points.
I love this box and am really happy about it. Full size essie and lip balm and no foil packets = petty good deal ! The body oil doesn't seem like something I'd ever use but am interested to try it (i said that about the la fresh body wipes last month and wound up loving them).
I'm excited to try the body oil! I like to use them instead of lotion after shaving. I can't tell if I like the smell or not, but it's a big enough sample to try at least a few times.
I'm really not buying that. In the past 8 months I've had birchbox it has never done this, and it's not my first time getting nailpolish. You can blame it on UPS all you want but It's never taken more than three days (unless there was the weekend) to get my box. I think it's pretty obvious birchbox has had a shipping issue lately. My ipsy bag shipped days later, same method and I got my bag yesterday whereas I won't get my birchbox until the 18th.

I would be! I'll keep you posted on what color I get!
Yay!! Me too! I wonder what color Essie that is??
Same! Looks similar to the color I got last month from CC
Birchbox has also grown a TON in the past few months + is a bigger company than ipsy. I was just putting this out there as a possibility, but you can continue to fret about it and be rude to someone has an explanation you don't WANT to believe. Personally, I would rather think that there is a good reason than immediately assume the worst (hello all of the people that were convinced box 1 was going to have 2 items?)

Hi everyone - I've been a MUT lurker for over 6 months and decided I should just join the community.
