Birchbox October 2012

[queenofperil]

Hello! First time poster, long time lurker. This is my fourth box, and I guess I'm getting a goop box (based off the email). I bite my nails and don't do sandals, so I have no use for the Essie. I actually sent the CC polish from last month to my sister. I really want the BeautyBlender. I'm about dying of anticipation right now because I don't have my shipping info yet. Aah!

 

[vogliadivintage]

I'd just like to use BB as a beauty discovery engine for new products I wouldn't have known about otherwise.  Most of the products they're repeating I've gotten through the trade thread already because they've been around for a while.  I'd be thrilled to receive the new Mox lip butter but not so thrilled to get the Orofluido since I've got about 4 samples of it through trades!

 

[MyriadVoices]

These look like the best boxes (collectively) from BB that I've seen in months. I'm super excited! Even if there are some items I'd rather not receive, there seems to be at least one thing in each box I'd love to try out! It seems there are so many new products (I guess as a result of collaborating with goop?), and some of the repeated products are those I had been hoping they would repeat. I'd love to try ANY Harvey Prince fragrance, for example! All the boxes look fabulous!

is there a way to tell which boxes are the opted-in ones, and which are regular boxes? I'd loove a beautyblender, I just bought a new liquid foundation /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

lots of interesting new products I've never heard of /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> interested in seeing how good the hair powder is, I've tried a bunch of dry shampoos and haven't found one I like so far.

i LOVE the hair powder.  I use it 2-3 times a week.  It smells divine, doesn't make your hair white, is natural and actually works!

from what I'm seeing in the previews, there are some really great boxes this month. 

although, note that I am a skincare junkie. when I get skincare, I am SUPER happy. Even better when coupled with haircare and fragrance.

Looks like I'm getting a goop box. I didn't opt in or out for one. I just hope my box is good.

it actually looks like the preview blurb paragraphs don't match up on a lot of the pages. some that I KNOW are goop boxes are listed as transformation, and vice versa.  I think all the ones with a luna bar are goop.

how is it that a box of luna bars is 18.75 through birchbox? Seriously?

I'm pretty sure it's like six bucks at Target...

oh gosh i didn't even think about that. since it's featured in a lot of boxes, it could very well be :[

No, it isn't. It's like a little booklet, the size of one eyeshadow pan. A pretty decent sample size. I got it from the Sample Stop during NYFW.

Sounds like a great sample size. I'm pretty excited about many of the options this month. Most boxes contain an item or two or three I'd be happy to get lol.

I had the same feeling about dry shampoos, I wasn't super impressed with any....

but then I tried Freemans Psssst (i think thats the brand?) and OH MY GOD its amazing

and they sell it everywhere, its super cheap. I think it depends on hair types but for me that one is the best!

Random--so I got my shipping email today.  EXCEPT, I got my box already on Saturday.  Duh.

 

[winkiepup]

Still no updates on my tracking number...and I had opted in for goop /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[Canny Charlene]

Mine shipped out on the 5th and I have not received a shipping notification from BB yet. I think they are being extra conscience this month due to shipping problems from last month.

I'm getting both a Goop and a Transformation box.  I have the shipping email and tracking # for both, but neither one has updated yet.

I only went through the first 12 box pages, but I'm seeing a lot of things I want this month.  The Eve Lom cleanser with the cloths looks great.  And the DDF looks good to me too.  I love any kind of skin care.

I see that BB is giving out the Jouer lip stuff again this month as well as a lot of boxes with Orofluido.  Anyone who gets those 2 products are lucky ducks in my opinion.  They are 2 of my favorite samples that I have recieved.  I'm planning on purchasing the full size Jouer lip stuff the next time I order from BB.  Its so hydrating for the winter months.

I have never tried a dry shampoo.  

When you use the dry shampoo, can you use other products like the Orofluido oil?  I'm wondering if I could do that or if the mix of the 2 would turn to mud?
