Birchbox October 2012

Surprise surprise, I did NOT get a goop box on the 2 accounts that I OPTED IN for it. And I DID get a goop box on the account I did not reply on... wow!! Way to go BB..

that's box 4. i got that crappy box too. i need to figure out who to give the damn food too. my only option is the dog, lol but i'm living in a new city with no friends. there has to be someone. i bought one at cvs a few months ago and it's gross.

Yeah, I got box 4 too. Bleh... but if the body wash and face cleanser are decent sizes and smell nice, I'll forgive them a little.

But man, Luna Bars. I hate those.

(Though to be fair, I loved my uber larabar from a few boxes back, and have since filled my house with them)

is this for the transform box or goop

 

[yanelib27]

Im getting the theBalm® cosmetics Mary-Lou Manizer!

I am getting box # 23 , I opted out of goop. https://www.birchbox.com/shop/birchbox-1/october-2012/october2012box23 I can really use the highlighter and the lip balm

I am canceling my main account. I notice that one has the worst boxes over the last 3 months.

Not 100% excited, but I don't hate it...glad I get my first MyGlam box/bag this month which looks to be a great box/bag.

Box twins!  

  I was a bit underwhelmed when I saw this, but good to know that the Ouidad Climate Control is in it, too. The three foil packets (2 supergoop and 1 facial cleanser) was a let down.  I was much more excited to see that I received my email invitation for a 2nd Goop BB and I signed up immediately.  So I have another BB coming!  Fingers crossed it's an exciting one!  Should I leave it as a surprise?  Hmmm...maybe not!

Ladies, I am starting a trade thread, lots of stuff (full and deluxe size) up there. Let me know what you guys have and let's get swappin'!

 

[iluvteffy]

I have been a BB subscriber for 6 months and after going through my past boxes I have only gotten 3 (and I am being very generous with that number)...THREE make-up items, one of those being the HORRIBLE Stila foundation card thingy which I couldn't even use!!!

What a major disappointment. Don't get me wrong, I love skincare and hair products as much as the next girl, but I really was expecting to try new makeup brands/products. And so far that hasn't happened. Bahumbug!

I'm sorry about your grandma :-(

Aww. Thank you.

Wow I just looked at Birchbox's facebook and people are really disappointed. Its probably not a good day for those people working at Birchbox.

is that based on the headings on your box page? there has been pretty extensive discussion here about how those are backwards so if so, birchbox probably actually got it right.

I opted in for Goop and am getting Box 8 - not too bad. Would have loved to try the EL Cleanser and cloth, though. Maybe they'll offer it as a Plus Two?

Spoiler: Box 8: Spoiler!

I am getting a beauty blender! Woo hoo, finally! I am dying to try the Balm's Mary Lou Manizer.. I hope people trade it! I would trade good stuff to have it lol

Ugh I am getting the DDF Brightening Cleanser which I do not want. I got it before and it wrecked HAVOC on my skin. Blah. 

On the other hand, I am getting the Caudalie Vinoperfect Complexion Correcting Radiance Serum and the Miracle Skin Transformer SPF20 Face but most importantly, I am getting the per-fekt beauty Lip Perfection Gel which (if they are giving out the full size), is worth $24.00 alone! 

From what has been posted, the Per-fekt lip gel is not full size but a capsule sample. Maybe you'll get lucky and it won't be the teeny tiny one.

someone brought it up on their facebook page and bb told me to facebook message them about it. i don't want to because i don't want a canned response from them.  they have been cutting and pasting responses to people that hate their boxes this month.

remember bb, if you take shortcuts you will get cut short.

This is my box too. Its beyond disappointing

The Caudalie is tiny... maybe the size of the small Jouer LMT they sent out, but it seems to be filled with a tad more air than product (at least in my case).. plus it made my skin oily after sitting around the house for 3 hours, when normally it takes 6+ hours of doing SOMETHING to make that happen.

I don't know the size of the Miracle Transformer, but I hope it is reasonable /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[yanelib27]

where is the pictures of the boxes or whats in them? 

 

[CaliMel]

I didn't opt in because I never saw the email until it was too late, but I'm actually glad. I like everything in my box!

I'm getting the box with the Harvey Prince Lavender Pumpkin perfume, Mary-Lou manizer from the balm, Mox lip butter, Mighty Leaf Tea, LiQWD perfect wave and Silk conditioning treatment.
I really wanted to try that perfume, I've been eying that luminizer, I love chapstick/lip balms, drink tons of tea and have long hair so this box really is stuff I'll use and be happy to try out.
yay!
