Birchbox October 2012

[SeptEllis]

Hmmm... I like the contents of my Non-goop way better than my Goop box! Not bad in either but a bit surprised the "special" box isn't more special than the normal box. Plus, if the samples' sizes were bigger in the Goop box, I think I be more into it.

Box twins! Someone said that people with box #1 will get a beautyblender. Is that true?

 

[keelyknowsbest]

I will be getting box number 26!

I did not opt in for Goop, I have a Goop header, and I am pretty sure it's a Goop box? LOL I didn't even want Goop...but I am happy with the products especially the Mary Lou as I have been trying to win it from their Twitter page for weeks!

I specifically said NO to Goop and they sent me one anyway! I just think it's funny...

Also, I don't think the boxes are all the way updated because my October box pic looks like this...

This is the same box I have.  I am SO not impressed...

Harvey Prince Eau Flirt

theBalm Mary-Lou Manizer

Mox Botanicals Lip Butter

Supergoop City Sunscreen Serum 

I'm really jealous of the Eve Lom stuff. 

 

[Missglammygirl]

Yay box #1! too bad all im getting is one item... Tell me more birchbox! tell me more! I have two subs and im getting the same box for both. Fingers crossed that the colors will be different!

duh duh duh duh

drum roll

eye roll

12 cents. 

So not impressed.

Please email them with that info! I'd love to see them try to explain how that is a deluxe sample!

i opted in for goop.  and received this email

:Hi there,

Your October Birchbox has shipped. This month, we’re joining forces with goop, our go-to source for lifestyle inspiration, to bring you an exciting collection of goodies. While you’re waiting for your goop-curated samples, watch our sneak peek video to learn more about some of this month’s products

but my box page shows this:

October 2012 Hi there,

Since we were kids, October has meant one thing: costumes. (And candy, of course.) From princesses to Wonder Woman, we had quite the parade of getups. In honor of those days, we’re dedicating this month’s Birchbox to beauty changes both big and small. Transformation doesn’t have to mean dying your hair blue or tossing out your entire closet. Switch up your hairstyle, try a bolder lipstick

shade, or go completely sans makeup one day. You’ll be surprised at how minor tweaks can make a big difference.
so does it look like i am getting a transformation box instead of goop??  the email says one thing, box page another.  

ugh.

Mine says the SAME thing. But the essie is listed. Which is nice! Right now it's the only thing listed..

I have no idea, lol. But if it is box 1 then I'm happy with a lip gloss and nail polish. A little confused as I got a goop email but a transformation header on my box page, but whatever, I just wnat to see some movement on my shipping now, and maybe an update of what all I'm getting.

My Transform box is I think #5.  Its the one I wanted!  It has the Eve Lom cleanser and cloth, the Almika hair mask, the DDF serum and the Chanticaille mascara, and a yummy Luna bar! 

My Goop box has the Mary Lou Manizer, the Ouidad heat and humidy gel, Lucy B perfumes, and the Vitvia skin vitamins. 

I'm really excited for both!  I had really wanted the Transform box that I'm getting, and had wanted to try the skin vitamin things ever since I saw the Sneek Peek video.

These would have been my two dream boxes. Soooo jelly right now. Congrats!

Lol! a page back someone said we are getting a beauty blender with this... not to sure about that since i got one in july, but I need a new one since my puppy took mine!

 

[dryadsbubble]

I just signed up for MyGlam/Ipsy... I'm keeping Birchbox for now but I'm a bit discouraged from this month's box picks. 

 

[diana16]

Are you sure...?

 

[CourtneyB]

...I really hope they aren't done with the uploading, because if so, I will be UPSET. I'm thinking they're not, though, since neither of my boxes have box pictures?

Let's see, first, I'm pretty sure the one I opted in for goop is getting a transform box, and the account I did nothing on is getting a goop box, though the shipping notice said transform. The box preview says goop. Great.

THEN, both boxes only have four items. On top of that, in the transform box, one of them is a Luna Bar. Really?

Wow. I've never been this angry at Birchbox. I'm usually one of their biggest supporters. But seriously? If I get three non-makeup items and a Luna bar, I WILL be complaining and potentially canceling my second account.
 

 

[Ineri218]

I opted for goop and getting transformation. Box 2. I got nail polish last month and now again. This will be my last BB.
