Birchbox October 2012

[kldeatley]

I just checked my BB account and it shows I will be receiving goop box #9...I'm not too thrilled about any of the products and after reading a bunch of disappointing BB reviews, I'm seriously considering cancelling my subscription.

Well, speak of the devil! 

Just got my box! Yay..did all of the boxes have Goop packaging? Mine isn't Goop but I got Goop paper 

 





Overall, I am happy with it. I like the perfume ALOT!

I really wanted to try that perfume. I like getting the perfume samples. :/

I got the same box, but mine has the usual pink tissue paper.

I have one I'm not going to use. Do you have stuff to trade?

Box 3, received today, so surprised bc the tracking said I wasn't supposed to get it til Thursday and it usually comes a day early. So that def made me happier. Gonna give everything in the box a chance as I'm sure I'll like a few things. Already love the lip gloss, just wish it was bigger, and cheaper. Lol

Nope. All of my things get used.

 

[considerately]

Did anyone receive an Essie polish?

that Chantecaille lip gloss sample is so tiny its cute!!!

I am getting box 3 and I thought the creme was going to be a deluxe size but I guess not just two foil samples!!

Only one item from that box would be considered deluxe sample all the other ones are just lame.

I am beyond disappointed with Birchbox and how they are treating their customers.

With their witchy e-mail responses, I called 10 times today and kept going to voicemail finally someone e-mailed me back.

I got my tracking since Oct.8th but it wasn't actually received until the 13th. I am just so sick & tired...I keep thinking well next month will be better and I don't know if its going to be like this for awhile. 

I am just so sad because I used to LOVE birchbox, they were my favorite company but now not so much.

I actually have the same experience with payless shoes, they're much sturdier than they look. I still have a pair of their flats that outlived 4 or 5 pairs of Aldo flats in 2 years.

i cant tell you how many times i hear $60 payless isnt pay-less anymore.. and i try to explain who the designer is and ahe has $3,000 dresses so $60 boots is super cheap and its in one ear and out the other

i bought a pair of Danskos which are $120 they were a mary jane style with patent leather the color looked like an oil slick (mostly dark blue with pinks greens and black swirled in it) and the first day i wore them the strap broke...... i exhanged for the same shoes thinking it was a random defect and it happened again in an hour

then i exchanged for their regular clog style with a patent green snake skin print and within 2 days of wear the leather peeled off the toes

i emailed the company they sent me a $20 gift certificate so i got a nother pair this time the plain black kind thats supposed to be sturdier ive had them a year but i dont wear them alot and they have sooooo many scuffs cracks and the inside of the right shoe under the toe cap has bent all jagged like and rubs my toe raw even with socks

never have any of my payless shoes done that for 10x less cost!!!

more expensive doesnt always mean better!!!

That is such a cute idea. I've been giving my boxes away, but now I might try that!

I actually like the perfume, and I'll try the protein bar, but the other 3 ... meh


I would happily mail you a $10 starbucks giftcard for that.

Did people who got box 3 get a cute goop box, or is it kind of plain? Because the plain box is showing in the preview pictures...

It smells really really good...I think you can write to BB and ask them to send you one because you really wanted to try that one...I think that has worked for others?

Hmmm....interesting!

I think I'd have to email the company directly, but every time I do the companies are "out of samples." My ass. They're just being cheap.

Yup. I was told this last month. (when something in my box spilled all over my fashion tape package and hair band)

I still don't have my box, either.

Got my box today:


The lip butter smells nice and fruity.  I'm happy that the face cream was doubled, and I hope that it works with my skin.  I use Differin for acne and my skin can get crazy when I use the wrong product with it.  I received the DDF Brightening Cleanser two months ago but unfortunately it has glycolic acid, so I have to wait.
