Birchbox October 2012

[gluegungeisha]

I just got my box I'm happy I didn't get any hair products, because I rarely use them. I can't drink the tea because I don't do caffeine, but the samples of the other things were nice.

hopefully they're smart enough to check the first name listed on the account! haha

Some have words like Joy/Happy Day/Cheer etc instead of a letter.

i was wondering the same thing but i saw candles on there that say things like: "cheers", "happy day", "joy", etc...

i don't even see all 26 letters up on the website

That makes a little more sense!  I figured they'd try to come up with a crazy excuse as to why they sent out a "Z" one to someone who didn't need it.

Interesting. I wouldnt mind that box for one of my accounts, but if i got it for both I would be pretty pissed. But idk if i can get that one because of the luna bar

If its a different flavor/color of something you already got, it doesn't mean you wont get that product. For things that have variations, like the color club nail polishes or the twistbands, they can send you another one as long as its not the exact color/flavor you got before.

My box came and something busted open its all gross and ruined.

 

[jorja628]

Oh, nevermind. Back up and nothing changed on my end. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Did more of the products in the box lists get uploaded though?

What did you get?

 

[Sept Mbabe]

- 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 
I just got this very box.  It's pretty weighty.  Can't wait to try the Orofluido, been wanting to try this for awhile!  And the DDF is a great size.  Everything else is very disappointing /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  The packaging for the per-fekt lip is pretty silly especially seeing the actual product size.  Not sure...what's goop about this box??  But overall, I'm satisfied with this box and feel it's good for the money, and it's sooo much better than a couple months ago!

Now to wait on my second account.

 

[SaraTheTerra]

(Malin+goetz) - bergamot body wash

ouidad - hydrafusion intense curl cream

sprout - lip balm flights

supergoop - city sunscreen serum

luna bar

(Malin+goetz) - grapefruit face cleanser

I also can't do caffeine, but here is a trick that might help! Most of the caffeine is released in the first brew, so you can steep the bag in a tiny amount of hot water for a few minutes, dump the water, and then your second brew should have such low levels of caffeine it could be considered "caffeine free."

 Definitely email them! They'll either send you another one of the samples that busted open or credit you some points.

 

[SaraTheTerra]

Just sent one in. It looks like the bergamot body wash spilled open and ate through the curl quencher cause its cardboard so the contents of both spilled all over the entire box and almost ate through the corner of the actual box itself!! its such a mess. 

 

[berryjm]

So I didnt opt in or out for the goop boxes on either of my accounts. I received my shipping notice on my second sub yesterday with the transformation email. Then I got my primary sub shipping email today, and it had a goop email! I decided to leave it to fate hoping that it would give me a better chance to get a nicer box...idk. My primary sub updated and it wont be here till the 15th! Jeeze. It also was preeety heavy, 0.8070.

 

[ankh]

Ugh, are there any spoilers? Tried clicking on various products to see if there's that "Feedback" button popping up, but I see nothing. Did they finally catch on to the fact that most of us birchboxers are super impatient? #can'twait'tilchristmas/or/mybirthday

I just got this one too! I literally laughed out loud at the lipgloss thing. Plus the mighty tea and the DDF are repeats from the past few months!! I'm so bummed about this, I was really hoping to get a beauty blender, essie, mascara, the balm highlighter , or lip balm/chapstick

The DDF is awesome but otherwise I'm not impressed birchbox /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

everything besides the tea and cleanser are up for trade! feel free to message me!
