mine weighs .7500 so I bet we have the same box! I'm thinking mine will be here before the 10th so it's going to be a total surprise this month

Im also wondering what happened to the Essie. I would like to get the beauty blender but the rest of the box items are just mehh :/

the essie probably isn't going to be in all the goop boxes, and there's going to most likely be multiple box varations for goop. there were four box variations for the teen vogue box.

wow! I'm shocked! I didn't get an email saying my box shipped, but I checked it using my tracking number listed in my account settings and it says it was received by MI Saturday! I'm supposed to get it Thursday and the weight is 0.4430. I opted in for the Goop Box. Last month my box was .6610 so i'm not hopeful for the essie nail polish /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> those colors were really pretty, but i have a lot of np so it's not the end of the world. Fingers crossed for the beauty blender!! OH- and I ALWAYS get my box 2 days earlier than what the expected date is so i think it'll be here Tuesday.  (I think they pad the time so larger local post offices have time to sort and deliver, but I live in a small town on a walking route.

The last time there was a curated box where with an opt in/opt out deal (Teen Vogue), there were four variations, and that was before the Gossip Girl and Glamour boxes kicked the subscriber numbers up up up.  I find it impossible to believe that there is only one variation of Goop box out there.  This isn't Sample Society.  My guess is that there are ten variations of this one (more than the Teen Vogue boxes, fewer than half the total number of variations for the month).  Birchbox ships in waves, and not in any sort of order, so all of the box #23s (for example) may go out at the same time as the 7s and 19s, which means that the most likely reason we've only seen one box is because only that box was sent out at that time and shipped in such a manner that it's already reached some destinations.  

The shipping is kind of crucial here when freaking out about the lack of essie (and it could explain why we've only seen one box if multiple variations went out at the same time):  Nail polish has to be handled differently than the items in that box.  It's entirely possible that boxes containing essie have been sent but are still on the legally-required slow train to Riverside.  

Also, I'm keeping an eye in Instagram for more variations.  There are currently *three* October Birchboxes on there (not counting the handful of men's boxes, that is, since we're not talking about those boxes here).  I don't mean three variations.  I mean three photos, period.  It seems like everyone is flipping out over something that isn't really happening.  A waiter bringing out a salad first doesn't necessarily mean you're stuck with only greens for dinner, especially when it's a salad for the next table over.

OOOO!! I really want a beauty blender! I hope I get one of these. I opted in for the Goop box. I don't mind trying a Luna Bar. I haven't gotten any food-like items yet. I also wouldn't mind the Balm's Mary-Lou Manizer. I have liked everything I have tried from the Balm and would love to try this. My dream box would have both the beauty blender and Mary-Lou in it!

 

[prachisrk]

Still no news on either of my boxes. One has a tracking # but no info! Blah

Lmao! This exactly! Bravo and well put.

There is at least one other variation of the Goop box.  I received:

Chantecaille Faux Cils Mascara (nice sample size)
DDF Wrinkle Resist Plus Pore Minimizer (that smallish tube size that DDF always has)
Orofluido Beauty Elixir (decent sized sample)
Embryolisse Anti-Aging Cream (2 foil packets)
Lemon Zest Luna Bar

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Chantecaille Faux Cils Mascara (nice sample size) DDF Wrinkle Resist Plus Pore Minimizer (that smallish tube size that DDF always has) Orofluido Beauty Elixir (decent sized sample) Embryolisse Anti-Aging Cream (2 foil packets) Lemon Zest Luna Bar

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

I was hoping the fourth item would be a tube, but would still love to get my hands on some!

 

[mellee]

Ok, MLJ, that box makes me very glad I opted out.  The first-listed-item is the only thing that would interest me.

Nice. That sounds more like what I was expecting, other than the food. lol

ive only seen one... how did you find the others?

 

[xiehan]

Has anyone who has gotten either of these Goop boxes received the Lunabar before? Just curious.

 

[FormosaHoney]

 
No email, but got this under my subscription info, anyone else got the same weight?

    Weight (lbs.):
0.5020
Projected Delivery Date:
Oct 9 2012

I also did not receive an email about the opt in/out option for Goop, am not tickled with the uneven handling of offers by BB.

I've received them 2x now and believe the different flavors, much like polish color variations, equate a "new" and different sample.

Search for the #birchbox hashtag on Instagram.  Same box variation, three different photos of it.  Oh, wait, now there are four photos of the same variation up.
