Birchbox October 2012

[kawaiimeows]

they did send essie out for everyone who got the Teen Vogue box, the last time they had essie. but i really don't think it'll be likely that everyone will get it this time, would be nice though!

I think some people have mentioned that the "one thing you'd splurge on" is the thing you're least likely to get (I guess since it's something you'll already buy for yourself anyway?) but I could never figure out if that was actually proven or just conjecture.

I am new to BB this month, and I left mine blank. I remember someone saying she left hers blank, and she got more full sized products in her box. So, I am testing that. My first box is box 15 (September) which has a fairly good sized Caudalie Vinexpert Firming Serum (anti-aging is one of my key concerns in the profile) but nothing full sized. Well, there wasn't much fill sized in September, was there? I am supposed to get it today or tomorrow.

I don't know if this is true. I put in nail polish and have received some twice and I have gotten full sized items in half of my boxes for my six months of subscription (stila one step bronze, eyeko liquid eyeliner, pixi lip and line). Howwever I have also gotten several "bad" items and really feel like for that sort of thing it's the luck of the draw.

Yeah but I feel like it is just coincidence and not the rule.

ive gotten similar boxes. In june the one step bronze for both accounts, in july beautyblender box for both again. in august, both got the same box with the stila liner ( but i was lucky since one box was brown and the other black) and last month one sub got the 21 drops, color club in gray and the teas and the other one got a similar box with the same polish and the primer.

Just received my first Birchbox yesterday.  I was starting to think I would get my October box before my September.  Got a few cool things....Not sure if it is worth keeping the subscription though.  I guess I'll hang in there for a couple of months and see what happens.  Not impressed that it took til the 25th of September to get my box.  I live in PA it's not like I live in Hawaii or something.

Off topic, but when did Birchbox start allowing people to post directly to their FB wall?

 

[Jackieblue]

This was very recent! I just noticed it yesterday too.

 

[Jackieblue]

Wow, I just looked back and it has been at least a week and a half!

Did anyone else just get an email from BB asking if you want a Goop themed BB for October instead of the regular BB Transformation theme?

I said yes. I think the value in a Goop box might be higher.

Yes, I opt in for one box, and opt out for another, just for comparison purposes.

I haven't seen any e-mail.  Goop is Gwyneth Paltrow's site, right?

Nope, no e-mail here.. What is Goop?

 

[karenX]

Yep - Paltrow's site.

just logged in and nothing.

I have a newer account though -- maybe they're doing it by seniority of accounts since they probably have limited boxes.
