Birchbox October 2012

[aerofish]

Hi! I've been lurking since I starting getting Birchbox in April. I have a question -

So I got a Beauty Blender in my box, but I'm not a foundation fan so would like to trade it (I would kill for that Essie, though there's lots of skin care items this month I'd love as well, like the DDF Brightening Cleaner).

Anyways, how does the trading work? Is there another board for this, are there rules? Thanks in advance!

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

I'm getting box #1 and based off of it v IPSY I'm only sticking with one. Probably going to be ipsy...

They all seem to be backwards.

Do we not have our usual Birchbox Spoiler thread with box pics? Both my accounts only show 4 items, a lot different than the 5-7 we got last month.

I just emailed this to Birchbox. Not really because I'm trying to get them to give me anything or right a wrong, but I felt the need to give them feedback. 

Edit: I'm annoyed with myself for the errors in this email. Damn insomnia.

Quote: Upon discovering the contents of my Birchbox this month, I have to say that I am completely let down for the first time since subscribing. Of the many products I would LOVE to sample (BeautyBlender, Harvey Prince Perfume, theBalm cosmetics Mary-Lou Manizer, Mox Botanicals Lip Butter, Lucy B Cosmetics Roll On Perfume Oil Duo, Sprout Lip Balm Flights...this list could go on for a while, but I'll spare you), I didn't get a single one. I, among others, have seen the laughable small "deluxe sample" of per-fekt beauty Lip Perfection Gel, and are appalled that this is what constitutes a "deluxe sample."    Perhaps it's also the four hours of sleep talking, or the sadness that is lingering from yesterday being the three year anniversary of my Grandmother's passing, but I am overwhelmingly, for lack of a better word, bummed.

I need to start printing this stuff out: I am POSITIVE that I have seen a response from Birchbox, either on Facebook or through an email someone posted, where Birchbox confirmed that the Lifestyle extra/food item is SEPARATE from your minimum of 4 deluxe samples.

Either the boxes haven't completed updating or Birchbox is seriously going down hill quick. The pill..er..I mean Perfekt lip sample already has me seeing red..so if people truly are only receiving 4 samples including the food bar, I will be sent over the edge...

Birchbox was sooooo good from January (when I first signed up) to maybe May or June.. then it has just grown worse every month after.

Hey Pash, if you live in NYC we are doing a make-up swap on Oct 25th.  You are welcome to join us!  https://www.makeuptalk.com/t/128627/make-up-swap-meetup/30#post_1947077

Musegirl...thanks so much for the link & invite. Unfortunately, the timing and date does not work for me. Me = mom of two boys + one overgrown man child....i do not want to come home with all the goodies to a house that's been through a tornado! May be next time.

I'm getting box 11, too. Boooooo.

same thing with me.  I got an email saying I was getting Goop (well it had the Goop stuff in the email whereas other people's had transformation) and I appear to be getting the same box.  I bet it's some kinda screw up...since they all revolve around the same box.

well congrats because box 2 is a goop box lmao. (the headings on birchbox are mislabeled, which has been shown by people who already got goop boxes, plus birchbox said essie would be in the goop boxes)

Well I have BB and sample society.  BB is out and after this month....I am giving SS one more month and If they don't redeem themselves, I will cut them off too.

 

[kawaiimeows]

well it looks like i'm getting box #1, but i don't know what's in it besides essie, go figure!

i don't know if they just haven't uploaded all of the items for that box or not (for example, i'm getting box #1 and it only shows one product right now) BUT i've also heard some people say they only got 3 items and a luna bar in their box i guess it could go either way. which doesn't seem fair though because the luna bar (i believe) is life style extra and i always thought we were supposed to get 4-5 items + a lifestyle extra.

 

[anlyber]

I just wrote Birchbox of my utter disappointment with this month's box.  I am getting a CANDLE and stupid Luna bar.  I signed up for the "beauty and grooming products" they say they send out.  I understand getting a lifestyle item but it should NOT be 50% of my box.  I am also trying out Glossybox and have to say even though the BB cream they sent out was too dark (which I plan to mix with another product to lighten up), I would rather pay more to get stuff I will use.  Now doubting if I should gift my sis with Birchbox for Christmas. 

 

[BettieCrocker]

Am I the only One whose box contents don't show up? My box page till shows september . I got two emails for the same account saying my box had shipped, but no tracking number at all in both emails and no info on the account page.
