Birchbox October 2012

[MissLindaJean]

So, will all the Goop Birchboxes be the same? Because all of the ones posted so far have been the same, but then again, in the regular boxes that I got, most of the ones I saw weren't the same as mine, so I don't know... :/

There are usually a lot of box variations and they're shipped in waves. So you'll see the same boxes in the first wave, say 1 to 4 and so on. I doubt they'll only send one box out..not possible with the amount of subscribers.

I think the Goop boxes are going to have variations because I'm supposed to be getting a Goop box and my weight is .7500

My thoughts as well. I think they are becoming too dependent on the food items to beef up the box and add value. No bueno.

I agree!  The Luna bars are 99 cents at Trader Joe's and I get them all the time for the 90-min subway commute into NYC for assignments.  Watching them make appearances in a beauty box for the 5th month running is really bewildering.  You can get away with it being in there for a couple of the months, but it's 'introduced out' and no longer even a 'new' or unrecognized product brand.  It's time to donate the stock balance to a charity or shelter before the bars expire BB.  With each repeat showing It is incurring more negative consumer experience then good will for the Luna brand, you might want to think about that from the angle of a BB MO as a brand ambassador, IMHO.

LOL Definitely time to donate!! It was nice at first to get a little food extra. I now buy the Kind bars because I got them in a box. I definitely would be upset if I kept getting food items though. I opted in for the Goop box for one of my boxes ( I have two). I really hope I don't get any anti-aging products though. I'm still trying to battle my oily skin, so I'm not even needing extra moisture right now!

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 have.  I am pretty sure it's legit!

I was wondering how it was going to work since this is my 13th box and I opted in for the goop. I got a package today from BB thanking me for my loyalty and included a leathery key chain lipstick holder. I appreciate the sentiment! ..won't use it though.

I am thrilled to get this box.  I'm leaving for vac on Thursday and so glad it came before I left cuz I couldn't STAND the suspense.  
About 2 mths ago, I finally broke down and bought the BeautyBlender--LOVE.  And then went to the NY BB Sample Stop and snagged another.  This makes it 3.  So glad to have these as they aren't cheap, but worth it.
 
The Chantecaille gloss is a sample size, but I'm one of those people who NEVER gets through a full size anything of lipsticks, glosses and nail polish.  So that's fine with me.  Pretty pretty color.
 
I'm a skin care junkie so very happy with the oil and serum too. 
 
Somewhat annoyed that I only received 4 items + a "lifestyle" Luna bar, but overall happy with this box.   No foil packets, HA HA. 

Edited to add comment: I never received a shipping notice BTW

Your box looks great.  I'm hoping I get a similar box.  Fingers crossed!

Is there normally something special done for the 13th box?

 

[lovestarbrooke]

I'm already sick of reading the word 'goop' lmao

I concur!

 

[Missglammygirl]

on a side note, has anyone heard anything about the sephora friends and family sale?

 

[lauravee]

LOVE that box. Hoping mine is a good one !

 

[Canny Charlene]

I would love to get that box..even without the Essie!  I've been wanting a Beauty blender and with my weight of 0.4390..I may have the same or similar box

.  I am happy to see that Birchbox is trying to resolve the shipping issues from last month hopefully by shipping sooner.  I am scheduled to get my box on the 11th, so even if there happens to be another hold up at the post office like last month, I should still get my box in an acceptable amount of time.

I want that box just for the pink item, I just bought 2 but I can never have enough.

My mom (in her 50s) got the goop box today even though she did not opt into it. I opted into the goop box and I'm hoping mine is different because I definitely don't need anti-aging products. Maybe the anti-aging filled box is just part of the first wave that shipped?

Did she opt out, or did she just not answer?

What did your mom get in her Goop box?

 

[msdollfaced]

Just checked my account and my box shipped on the 6th with a weight of .7490 so hopefully it's a good box!

Still no box pics huh....

Some fall Zoya colors would be fun for next month

Glad I opted out of the goop box.  What happened to the Essie Polish???  Also, I'm dying to know what is in the boxes that weigh .75.  I have a tracking number, but it hasn't updated yet.  I can't wait for my box!!!!!  It's my birthday month, so it's like getting an extra Birthday Present, to me...from me ;-)
