Avene thermal water's in the shop, so they must have already given it at some point.

Me too!  I adore Birchbox. I try each and every product, even the ones I'm pretty sure I'm not going to like and have no interest in.  The funny thing is that a lot of the time its the products I was most sure I wouldnt like that I end up loving the most.  That's not to say that I like every product, because I don't, and I dont expect to, but at least I tried them.  Thats the purpose of Bichbox for me. 

The only problem I have is that I cant stand having points and not spending them.  I wish I could be like MissLindaJean and save up points, but I will never see 200 points in my account.  The second I reach 100 points I have to shop!

Just had to share with you guys that I cashed in my BB points yesterday and got $68 worth of goodies for $7! I got the Eyeko skinny liner in Purple (love the Olive one I got in July's box), the Beautyblender travel set (haven't tried one of these sponges yet - plus this kit comes with the cleanser), and the Kiehl's Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado (I love eye creams!). Yay!

Not every product in the shop has been in the Birchboxes.  There are a lot that havent been. I could be wrong, but I dont think the Avene Thermal Water has been.  And Birchbox does repeat samples, just not to the same subscriber.

I'm still hoping to get a sample of the Skin, An Apothocary soy body butter at some point.  I'm wondering if they are planning on including it another month and thats why its not part of the Birchbox Plus 2 sample packs they have been doing lately?

Completely OT, but Sephora has an amazing deal on a Tarte LipSurgence set--five full size for $34
I saw that this morning.  Right after I posted on the Oct low/no buy, I went to Sephora to see all the new value sets.  Torture myself much?

i need to join that group.. i seriously cant spend any money this month

I am so confused about this Goop Birchbox. I never did receive an e-mail about opting in for this Goop Birchbox. I just e-mailed customer service but who knows if I will hear from them anytime soon. 

Was this only meant for selected members?

Lol, if I manage it, this'll be the first time I made it past 200 points and not spent them! Trying to be strong! @JessP.. nice haul! Great choices!

Thanks! First BB points order - I definitely enjoy their system (maybe more so than recent boxes lol).

Thanks for the tip about the Tarte Lipsurgence set on Sephora--just bought mine!! I was having a hard time justifying 24 dollars for one lipgloss thing and now I get five for under 35. So Nice.

Very welcome; if I weren't no-buy this month, I'd have jumped on it, as well.

I decided to just not respond to the opt in/out of the goop box. 

I am really hoping for some fun new cosmetic to try.  A lip product or eye product would be great.  My first two boxes both contained skin cleaning samples, perfume samples, and either a bb cream or tinted moisturizer.  Different brands, of course, but I yearn for more variety in product types. 

Now I so anxious to see some spoilers!

Email or call. Maybe they can rectify the situation.

My credit card was charged yesterday. It won't be long I hope we get spoilers soon!

Unrelated but everyone likes freebies. Target just announced their final beauty bag. I created a thread for it. ---->https://www.makeuptalk.com/t/129313/last-ever-target-beauty-bag

Seems so early to even be thinking about Birchbox since I got mine so late. Usually I'm counting down the days until the next month. Hoping to get some insight into the goop box soon. Crossing my fingers that I made the right decision. 

 

[PAsh]

kinda OCD but my account settings page has updated with the October Box Shipping Info, although no. tracking no yet....it's coming, I can feel it now!

 

[108Jessica]

I just had to sign up for a second BB; I was disappointed when I could not opt in for BOTH boxes - the Goop and the October Transformation!  So, YAYY!! I know it will not be until next month, but a little foresight never hurt anyone! 

I did opt in for Goop and in the chance that I receive it, I believe it will be more natural and organic products.  This is the reason why I opted in as I tend to gravitate to these products more.  So, we shall see!
