Hm, that sounds like something I'd try.  I really like Oscar Blandi's volumizing wet shampoo/conditioner, I got it in my Birchbox a few months ago and liked it so much I actually bought some, even though $24 for a pretty small bottle is waaaay more than I'd ever usually spend on shampoo/conditioner (well, with points and a 20% off code, but still).  Maybe I'll get lucky and they'll put that in boxes/the pick 2 choices soon.

There are a lot of Caudalie products under the skincare tab.  Maybe they just moved them out of the new products.  I didnt notice if they were sampling any Caudalie this month.

I recieved the Caudalie Vino firming serum last month.  I just used the last drop this morning.  The next time I purchase a serum, this might be the one.

On another note,  Stila now has a skin care line that looks interesting.  Birchbox gives out a lot of Stila products.  I wonder if we'll get to sample the Stila at some point?

same, i got my tracking on the very first day that they came out, and i haven't received a shipping email or an update. i'm not worried. mostly just confused as to what box i'm actually getting since i opted in to goop.

Yea I'm not worried. I just hope I get it before Saturday. My sister is flying to see me so I wanted to show her what I get and give her anything that I don't want.

Ulta sells travel size Oscar Blandi dry shampoo. I also have thin hair on the dry side that starts to look super yucky on day 2, and I tried the dry shampoos that way. Way cheaper and less wasteful than buying a whole bottle.

Completely off topic... i bought Essie's Penny Talk this weekend. I love it! Its not like "penny copper" but more like a rose gold, maybe a metallic plum.

Same here; I never received a tracking email though (just an updated link on the BB page). Hoping I'll still get a Goop...

My birchbox came!  It was a GOOP box and it weighed 0.751 lbs.   I got (highlight below):

-Caudalie Vinoperfect Radiance Serum - 2 ml sample
- DDF Brightening Cleanser - HUGE sample, 113 ml, full size is 250 ml
-Orofluido- 5 ml sample
- per-fekt Beauty Lip Perfection Gel in Melrose.  This sample is really weird, it seems to be just a little bit in a middle of this ridiculous paper flower.  A 0.05 ml sample
- Mighty Leaf Tea- Assorted teas.

  I have a little truck on my BB account, but no tracking number and no email.

And on that note, why do they not sample the Chuao chocolate? I tried some and they are delish! Plus i think it's awesome for this time a year (ok...chocolate is awesome year-round, but y'know....colder weather = eating richer food).

YES I am obsessed with it. I'm sad that most of it is sold out on Birchbox.com and when I go to buy directly from Chuao they are charging $35 for shipping. I really need more chocopods in my life, they were so good.

Same here.  Did you opt in for a goop box?  I had a number for a bit and then it vanished, so I'm wondering if they had to redo the box for some reason...

 

[vogliadivintage]

how can they call that a goop box?  that's all been sent out in past birchboxes (all but one, and that brand has been)

35 dollars for shipping ohh my god. I don't know if you have a market of choice where you live, but they sell them there and for way cheaper!! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

My last per-fekt sample (mascara) was also ridiculously tiny. Annoying.

I should be getting my goop birchbox either today or tomorrow. The weight says 0.743. Has anyone been able to figure out what items possibly come in that one?

 

[catchingastar21]

My box was 0.751 lbs.  I just posted what I got.  

 

[amberayed]

Thank you!

I got that flower sample when I wrote to perfekt myself to request some samples. It is tiny and if I recall correctly, Melrose is like a really dark purple or brown.
