I have a tracking number on my account, but no updates and no shipping email. I did opt in for goop. We'll see.

Uh Huh Her
I have a theory on the maybe-you-will-maybe-you-won't nature of these limited curated boxes: The partnering companies want a certain number of various boxes to go to certain demographics as outlined in our profiles. Let's say they have a thousand boxes for 30-to-40-year-olds concerned with sun protection who make $50k a year. If two thousand people with that profile say they want a box, only half of them will get it -- but if only five hundred say they do, then there will be five hundred people who did *not* opt in who will also get it. This is purely speculation on my part, though.
(And I have tracking numbers on two accounts that indicate that the package went to the MI facility on the 4th. I opted in on one account and didn't respond on the other with an older age listed. If my theory is accurate and this first wave is Goop, I'm thinking that not as many people in the older group responded, so they have more Goop boxes than people explicitly requesting them, so they're just going out willy-nilly. I also think that they might be sending out more of the Goop boxes out to older subscribers because we're at least theoretically more likely to plunk down $80 for an eye serum, and that seems like the sort of thing that will be in these boxes. Again, speculation here because they only showed, like, four Goop box items in the spoiler video, and I don't recall seeing an eye serum on there, although I *did* watch it at about 1:30 in the morning while still being bummed that the copy of _Poltergeist_ used for last night's midnight movie glitched out at and skipped over the face-ripping scene AND ONLY THE FACE-RIPPING SCENE, so I might be forgetting an item or two in the video, and there will probably be more like twenty different items in there that weren't covered in the video.)
Oh! I keep forgetting to ask: Has anyone received email about Birchbox Affiliates with a hasoffers.com link? I've been receiving so much spam/scammy stuff lately that I'm not sure it's legit, so I wanted to check before I signed up.

I wouldn't mind the three leftest bottom items. I said no to Goop, though. Anyone know if there's a chance of getting the Goop box items in future boxes, or as a two-extra-samples, if we opted out? (I asked this earlier and didn't see that anyone answered. If you did and I missed it, I'm sorry!)

Oh...yeah, I wouldn't want that box. Only thing that might be interesting would be the lip gloss (Snooooooooze...quite boring though) and DDF. Can't really tell what the oil stuff is...but I would not like the blender and the Luna bar.
I actually didn't answer the email for opt-in...so it is truly a guess as to what I'll get.

It says on facebook its for the october box, so I'm guessing not the goop? I've been wanting to try the mary lou manizer for so long! I hope I get it

since i got tracking yesterday but with no update and no email yet, i'm hoping i still am getting the goop box like i requested. i keep hoping i'm getting essie and so it will take a little longer to ship with the nailpolish, but i'm not holding my breath.

I have to say I wouldn't be too impressed if I got this box, but all the items would at least find new homes(/stomachs) with my friends/family so at least they wouldn't go to waste.

Sounds like you should talk to your doctor.
I actually went to my doctor about 2 weeks ago because I was freaked out when I started throwing up blood after having a cup of coffee and she ordered a bunch of tests.

That looks like a great box for me. I would love to get that box! I'm crossing my fingers for that or one similar!
The Luna bar is the lifestyle extra. I love Luna bars!

The tracking # just means a shipping label has been printed. Both of mine are like that too.
