I really hope this doesnt happen to me. I am waiting for that box too and I am really excited about it. I really want the beauty blender! But now, my box finally got a little closer but now its been sitting over a day in Denver. Im in Az. I did recieve a gift from Loreal Consumer test panel which made me happy and forget about my bb for a couple days, but now Im just getting annoyed!!

 
Got my box today, after it hung out in Jersey City for a few days and then magically showed up in my town and out for delivery this morning.  Box 29:

  Dr Jart Water Fuse Beauty Balm
Naked Princess Lip Gloss
Nexxus 3-pack
theBalm Cosmetics Mary-Lou Manizer 
Tili bag



(Do I still need spoilers at this point?)  You know a box is bad when your husband comments on the size of everything.  It didn't help that he had just watched me open my Ipsy bag last week.  Funny thing is, I'm excited to try the Manizer, Lip Gloss, and BB cream.  Just crazy how small the samples are.  Oh well.

How do you know if they're going to send you something to evaluate? I took all the surveys and after I was done nothing happened.

There's a thread on L'Oreal consumer testing panel. They can probably answer your question.
 

hello ladies- fairly new here but long-term lurker! Anyone with Box 14? Pretty bad & I think the worst Goop box! & I have bad birchboob for 6 months......pitiful! I have a second subscription that still says "your first box shipping soon".......sigh This used to be fun!

 
received box #1 today...and pretty disappointed by the size. This was my first birchbox ever and didn't know that the box itself would be this small. I thought the products would be bigger from looking at the other people's pictures...but even the kiehl's liquid body cleanser is sooooo much smaller than expected...it fits in the palm of my hand...

That's fairly typical of a deluxe sample size. Unless you get a full size product (which is rare), expect this size or smaller.

They are sample size.. Glossybox may be a better option or some of the other subs like Look Bag or Test Tube if you're looking for larger sizes.

honestly the products in this box are better than the size of products in most boxes this month.
 
so i made a 3 month gift account starting this month since i had extra points on my aunts old account and i wanted to be able to cancel birchbox for a few months to explore ipsy, while still being able to get the birchbox experience so i can make my final decision on whether or not i'll re-instate my account after 3 months.

for a welcome box, i'm really happy with this!



i'm just of sick of seeing the tili bags as everyone else. but i'm excited about the soap since it's a huge size (full size? idk) and the scent is amazing. the nailpolish remover will get used and i've never received this as a sample. i've gotten the stainiac but now that i have two nice samples of this that's really great. also i love la fleur perfume, probably one of my favorite perfume samples i've received yet.

when i saw other people getting pixi in their welcome boxes i was hoping for that, but i can't say i'm very disappointed at all.

Yayyy!!!  I just used redeemed some of my BB points to get the Boscia BB cream; does any one else use it and love it as much as I do?  I received a sample from Boscia and fell in love!   I got three good uses out of the sample, too!  

I also signed up for a second BB account.  I will be getting Box 18!  Yayy!!  I am especially excited because this is one of the boxes that has a beautyblender in it.  Does anyone use their beautyblender with their Boscia BB cream?  

Have a great Friday, y'all!  
Yes! I purchased the Boscia BB cream after sampling it too. I also have the beauty blender sponge, but I haven't tried it with the BB cream - may have to do that. I tried it with my regular foundation and didn't have much luck with it - I could do a better job with my fingers.

Now that I contacted Birchbox about my missing boxes, one arrived today and the other is finally on the move. Amazing how that works!

It was walmart. I don't think they cared either way and this was during finals so I didn't really care either way. Walmart could afford to lose $10.
Hmmmm

I've never seen that soap before.  Sounds like it'd smell good!

 
Just so disappointed with Box 3 and the fact that it's worth basically nothing. Please, please Birchbox, make november better!

My review is at my blog, which I apparently never knew I couldn't post, but have posted before. Sorry!

 
That is almost their travel size. Here is a picture comparing travel and deluxe sample size from Kiehl's. I got the Creme de Corps free for recycling bottles but the sell it for $11.00 and the Body Lotion was a promo to try the new fragrance line at the store. There is only a .3 oz difference between the travel size that retail for $7-$11 and the deluxe samples.
