Birchbox October 2012

[lovelywhim]

Thanks for posting the video!

 

[keelyknowsbest]

I am so so so disappointed I didn't opt in for Goop now... I have gotten ALL of those transformation products (minus the vitamins). I am crushed...and I hated Harvey Prince.

I want to yell and scream and cry and send them a box box back a witchbox (I meant witchbox) my unused repeats. I don't understand why they would feature something they have already featured? 

Is it too late to change my mind about Goop??? 

 

[vogliadivintage]

these are only the featured products though.  there will be several more for each boxes, so maybe there are a lot of other fantastic things in store!  at some point they'll have to find new products.  they can't just keep repeating

and repeating

and repeating

and repeating...

well here's to hoping i actually get the goop box since i signed up for it. we'll see....

i'm really surprised at all the repeats for the other box (and a lot of them i've already gotten).

There was a comment pop up on the video that said that they won't actually be including Eyeko Skinny Liquid Liners this month because they were held up in customs, so they'll be replacing it with another product.

It figures because that was the ONLY product that I was actually OK with getting a repeat of.

I am trying to stay positive, as I know it's only a $10 sub service, but it's so hard to feel happy when the Goop boxes are getting Essie!!! Booooooo

I don't think Birchbox is changing their policy of not sending anybody repeat items, so you should be fine. Let's also remember that the products shown in the video usually wind up being like ~5% of the products that are actually sent out that month.

I know the feel, sister. I really liked the Eyeko Liner, though, so if I get another one of those I'll be fine. But, damn. I wish I could change my mind on opting out, too.

This is true! Plus, we dont really know what box we'll be getting, as they have said opting in or out didnt guarantee a box or not either way. We'll just have to see what shows up in the mail before we can complain /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Looks like the Essie polish will be in the goop boxes after all /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

There actually won't be any Eyeko Eyeliners in these boxes... see below


Also, I know it's been speculated multiple times that BB doesn't ship our boxes when we get a shipping email, but now I have infallible proof. I got the email for my boyfriend's BB Man on 9/25/12 saying it shipped.. I followed tracking and it never updated. On September 28th, I get a form apology email saying there was a delay in the box shipments this month, they have now been shipped, tracking will update within 48 hours AND, they gave us 100 points to make up for it. Well that was Friday and tracking JUST updated today. Guess What? They didn't even send the package information to UPS Mail Innovations until 10/2/12, 4 shipping days after they claimed to have shipped it AGAIN. So ridiculous. Just tell us it shipped WHEN it shipped. People get more angry wondering what's taking so long and then seeing they lied, TWICE. BOO.

On the other hand, if the opt-in, opt-out for Goop is actually followed (which it won't be) I will get one of each boxes this month. Let's hope there aren't any issues with that. Goop looks awesome!

 

[yanelib27]

ooo and I want more eyeko!! purple/blue/ brown please! 

Just saw the post above... boo

 

[kawaiimeows]

welp there is officially a tracking number on my account for october - it hasn't updated yet.

i also opted in for goop and got the email on the first day, but who knows if i'm actually getting it.

Video:

Omg I second that ! Lets hope or no fancy ziplocs and elastics!

 

[prachisrk]

I'm very underwhelmed by both the boxes! I opted in for Goop on one and kept the regular one on the other. Lets see now what I actually get

Sometimes their shipping is really ridiculous. I figured it out though, the email that we get saying it shipped isn't sent out when the box actually ships. Its sent out automatically by the system when the shipping label is created. So unfortunately there is definitely a lag between the two. I just wish they set it up so that when the box scans out of their facility then the shipping email will be sent.

By the way, has anyone figured out what they will be replacing the Eyeko with yet? I'm hoping it will be something good, but I have a sinking feeling that its going to be a bunch of stuff left over to take up space.

 

[casey anne]

Well, this is a shocker...I can't believe my box has shipped already.
