I don't have any problem with Luna bars, and most other similar protein bars, however I think most people get peeved about receiving a granola bar in their "beauty" box that can be picked up at a gas station. And especially with all of the fragrances mixing in the box from the other products (especially if there's a perfume sample like in my case), it's kind of gross. Just doesn't seem sensible to mix food into a box of cosmetics.

got my goop box! My video is 'processing' and I have to go to work! But real quick:

My box has a high value and I'm excited about it BUT:

I GOT 2 FOOD EXTRAS!!!! BOOOOOOOOOOOO! 2 packages of tea and a luna bar!
ps my weight was .430 or something similar

I love that box!  I would love to get that one!  I have my fingers crossed for this box or #5.

That's my box weight. (. 5700) . I should have opted out. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Remind me to opt out of the next curated box. I'm so mad that I'm going to get the thing on the far left side. -____- at least it's a perfume free box

Pretty much this. I received a Larabar back in July, it was completely misshapen because it'd sat in a hot mail truck and then metal mailbox all day. It looked like it'd been sat/stepped on and then tossed into a microwave! I can't eat most granola/protein bars but there's always someone I can pawn them off on - but how am I supposed to give a goopy mess to anyone(/thing) but the trash can?

If there's a Luna bar in my box this month, it's probably going to meet the same fate - it's supposed to be in the 90s again on Friday and I won't be home until 7PM at the earliest.

ETA:

at least we can earn points with the food items too so they're not a total waste (in my case, where I can't eat them/they're a melty mess)

Yeah, I did realise after writing the post that I can still review them! I just hope any future food items I get aren't damaged by the heat so at least someone else can enjoy them.

Sorry...I'm still new...how do we see the list of boxes each month?

I'm guessing you recieved 2 lifestyle extra's (food items) in error.  There is usually only one lifestyle extra in a box. I wouldn't mind if I got both in my box.  Sounds like a good snack -  a hot cup of tea and a Luna bar!

https://www.birchbox.com/shop/birchbox-1/october-2012/october2012box1 Follow this link and replace the 1 with whatever number box you want to see! I believe it goes all the way up to box37.

Here is a pic of my Goop Box it was a heavy one at .75lbs

this box isn't really what I thought a Goop box would be like it just seems like a regular ol Birchbox with fancy tissue paper but over all very happy about the box!



- DDF Brightening Cleanser 4.5fl oz.! - so happy to have received this

- Caudalie Vino Perfect Radiance Serum 2ml or .06fl oz - goes nicely with the brightening cleanser

- Orofluido Beauty Elixir 5ml or .17fl oz. - another hair oil which is ok since I'm finally running out, nice timing BB

- per-fekt Beauty Lip Perfection Gel in Melrose - this is annoying since I already have one of these that I received for free from Sephora, i wish BB would stop giving us samples that we can get for free else where.  

Extra - Mighty Leaf Tea assortment

lol! I did it that way last night before zadis list came out and it took forever. so its just easier to scroll down her list. I narrowed it down to around half the boxes. and i opted into goop...

I send them sometimes in my husband's lunches when I'm out of his regular granola bars.   /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I LOVE Luna bars...but not that lemon one.  Blech.  I'm not a lemoney person I guess.

I want box 6 or 34 but it seems like box 6 is regular birchbox and I have a goop box. It's frustrating because it's sitting at home all sad and lonely while I am at work! ugh lol. I think I am going to change my shipping address to work! hahaha

Just noticed something strange - my Chantecaille lip gloss is labeled as 1 oz, but it's really a sample size, isn't it?  That can't possibly be the full size product.  The image on BB's page looks much bigger.  Maybe they reused stickers?  A little strange, if so.

Otherwise, my box's value is, I think, around $50.  I got box 6.

I was thinking of doing the same thing but w/my luck, it would arrive at the post office on a Saturday when I'm off and I'd have to wait until monday for it!
