I can say that they don't seem amazing because thats how I felt with the spoiler video.

Quick question for all you Birchbox veterans!

This will be my first Birchbox & I opted out of the goop box, just because I wasn't really sure what it was & kind of wanted to see what the regular boxes looked like. Well, now that I'm seeing the previews for both boxes, I should have gone with the goop box!

I stumbled across this promo page on the website: http://www.birchbox.com/promotion/goop

It doesn't say anything about the normal waiting list for subscriptions! Just says sign up now & get your first box in October. It does say limited quantities available, but do you think it's worth a shot? Sounds like most people on here have multiple subscriptions & I just wasn't sure how that worked.

If this is your first Birchbox...You will probably get a welcome box which is different from this months boxes.

it's still a wait list, from my understanding. i signed up for the teen vogue birchbox that way because it was my first birchbox, and they sent me a sign up link like a week later.

Thanks for the info...

 

[sinatraskitten]

Mine shipped and holy hell it weighs almost nothing... 0.34 ; /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[tacehtpuekam]

Ah, figured it sounded too good to be true /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Oh well. Still pretty excited for my first box!

Thanks for the help!

Twistband 6 pack for you! It counts as 6 different items, because they're all a different colour.

Awesome!  I signed up for my second BB the regular way, but I didn't want to wait another 4 weeks so I went through the Goop link and I'm hoping that I can sign up for the second next week!  

  **fingers crossed***  Sigh, if the stars are aligned...we shall see.

I just got the notice that my October box shipped, and the language makes me confident it's a goop box:

"Hi there,

Your October Birchbox has shipped. This month, we’re joining forces with goop, our go-to source for lifestyle inspiration, to bring you an exciting collection of goodies. While you’re waiting for your goop-curated samples, watch our sneak peek video to learn more about some of this month’s products. "

So for those of you who didn't choose to opt in/out, hopefully your shipping confirmation emails will let you know what you should expect.

Well, I'm glad I opted into the goop box.. I just hope I actually get it, and that I don't get Essie Carry On since I already have it.  

           Same here.....

Just got my "October Box has Sipped" email and it said the same thing..I as well opted-in for the Goop box, so hopefully this means I got it!

I am glad this month they are going to be more generous with the spoilers!

Posted with the sneak peak video on fb:

"And make sure to check back here for more spoilers—we'll have one every day through the 10th!"

Oh wow, that's awesome!

Did anyone who opted out of the goop box get a shipping email yet? I wonder what the phrasing is for those or if it is the same. Ill remain skeptical of my email till I hear about an opt out persons shipping email.

I just started in August and didn't get a welcome box - I got box number 15 (I think it was) from the regular choices.  Maybe they've stopped doing something different for Welcome?

Still no images or pages up on Birchbox.

I'm not so excited that there's probably going to be a Luna bar in the box though. I've developed a gluten intolerance and it's just going to make me pout that I can't eat it haha. I love carbs and now I can't have any unless I want to spend the rest of the day throwing up and covered in hives.
isnt a gluten intolerance genetic? How did you 'develop' it? Not being snarky, just wondering

Lots of people dont realize they have it until their symptoms get worse and worse.. may be she never realized she had it.
