Yes, it was pretty heartbreaking. I just moved to Chicago proper two months ago and have had everything sent to my work but have noticed that my neighbors were receiving packages. They were left for them in the lobby, seemingly untouched. So, I figured I would have my order sent to my home address. Lesson learned. Very first package sent to my home address and this is what happens? I was SO bummed. I left a note for the postal carrier to let them (and my neighbors) know what happened and that I have my eye on them. I also called the post office and reported the incident. I hope whoever stole my items is allergic to orange oil and breaks out into a horrible rash that scars them for life! Jerks!

WOW! That is def a box from the SAMPLE STOP from NYFW. lol They took it and sold it. Enjoy your box!Originally Posted by 108Jessica /img/forum/go_quote.gif
I Goop'ed...so whatever box I receive, I receive. I'm looking forward to getting a new box!
By the way, to stave off my BB addiction, I went on ebay and bought a BB for $10.50 and free shipping. I got the Boscia blotting papers, MorraccanOil, Rose Gold Color Club, Wei To Go, Cargo Lashactivator mascara, Kiehl's body cream, Mary-Lou Manizer "The Luminizer" from the Balm, and Nails, inc. orange nail color. So, I am very happy with it!

Got my Goop e-mail. I think I'll stick with my regular BB. Hoping for something fun and colorful for October. It's my birthday month, not that anyone cares. Now let's just hope I get my box before November. I still don't understand how I can live a state over and it takes three weeks to receive my box.

Some of the responses from Birchbox are so silly. I got my stila in the moment palette last night, went to twist up the eyeliner and it didn't go up. I asked them if I could exchange it and this is what they said... Hi Jessica, Thanks for writing in. I'm so sorry for the trouble! It may not be broken - give it a little TLC! We contacted Stila about the liner and they assured us that when you first twist it up it can take quite a few twists before you see the eyeliner start to move. But be careful! It only twists up, it does not twist down. I tried this and it worked for me so I'm sure it will work for you as well. Our refund/return policy is fantastic in this capacity! If you decide that a product doesn't work for you for any reason, you can return it to us for a full refund within 90 days. Please give us a call Monday at 877.487.7272 if you still need assistance. We'll be happy to help! xo Nicole Birchbox | Operations Associate I feel like writing back something along the lines of, "Really? Is it supposed to give you a workout cause I already twisted it about fifty times" I mean I know they are trying to be helpful but don't you think I tried that already Birchbox? It still baffles me why stila would purposefully have a product that doesn't twist up at first try. Doesn't make sense to me.

I just got my GOOP opt email last night and opted in. I thought, you know, Fishstick and I are both really white, and while I don't have her budget, I'm pretty sure she is not going to send me self tanner or eyeliner stickers. Mostly kidding, I saw she likes Supergoop, and I love their lip balm. I had semi-remorse when I remembered that the regular box might be a little Halloweenie, but I'll get over it. Now, let the box envy begin!

We should start a thread with all the stupid responses we get from bb cs reps. It might not be as funny after a while though...Some of the responses from Birchbox are so silly.

I can't decide! It will be my second BB...first one was underwhelming. I figure either one can't be any worse than that one...wish I could have both....like everyone else. I wonder if they'll stick everything samesies in the goop boxes or if they'll be "customized" like the BBs?
I just feel like I wasted $10 last month on a hair tie and a ziploc...I was going to give them 1 more month before deciding to stay or go...but if I opt in to the goop box, and it is awesome, then it won't be a true representation of BB. But if I get a crap BB again, then I'll just be mad I didn't take the goop box.
Argh...
Also trying to get my husband on the men's BB and they told me yesterday I could get Oct's box but then I went to sign up and I got the "we'll email you when it is your turn" email. And I'm pretty sure they said they were shipping already. I wonder if I could just gift it to him and have it go...but then I won't get points for reviewing the items...LOL

Actually got it to work, it took about 10 revolutions for it to move in the slightest. Last night it just wasn't working. God only knows haha.

Oh, I wonder if they'll publish some of the previous reviews. Some might not be too nice. I look forward to reading some of the reviews for things like...those ziploc bags. HAH. Will probably provide some fun reading for when I'm bored.

This made me laugh, but I hope they do, too! The very idea of theft makes my stomach hurt.

I've got two of the stila palettes with the eyeliner, and both of them took quite a bit of twisting before the liner appeared. I thought one of them was broken when a few twists didn't produce anything, but it wasn't. So yes, that's how stila created them.Originally Posted by JessicaMarie /img/forum/go_quote.gif
