Birchbox October 2012

[skylola123]

So it looks like my box has completely uploaded not sure how to feel about it. The only thing I love is the Mary Lou but then again it seems that half of us are receiving this. The rest of my box includes a Luna bar, the vitamin capsules, lucky b oil? And the shampoo which appears to be foil sample Last month I received the 21 drops oil now again oil?

My box:











I'm getting the same box and I am beyond disappointed! Only 4 items...one being a food item and one being a candle!? I'm stunned.

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.

You could try dropping it off at a local church - they often have food pantries for the poor and homeless and I am sure it would be appreciated, even if it is just one bar.

FYI - the easiest way to check your box number:

• Go to the "Box" page.
• Scroll down to the bottom of the page where each month's box and contents are listed.
• Click on the picture of the box next to the month's contents listing.
• Check that URL - the box number there is your box number.

Thanks for that!  Looks like I have box #2

I kind of hoped/thought we'd see more "leftovers" from their NYFW Sample Stop - I'll take a sample of They're Real! any day! I know beautyblenders and Mary-Lou Manizers are in October's boxes so that's cool. Maybe they're just dispersing them in small amounts.

thanks! good idea /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

now i'm hungry and i'm deciding if i want to eat this out of desperation because i just don't want to see stuff go to waste. i donated tons of unused makeup, shoes, and clothes to the needy last month when i moved.

Oh, NOW I'm sad.  This is why my box sucks - according to zadidoll's list it was supposed to get an eyeko skinny liner.  And the replacement is a sample-size chap stick. If it had the skinny liner I would have been stoked because it would make up for the rest.  The last thing I need is lip balm.  

October Box 31 - GOOP
Eyeko Skinny Liquid Eyeliner
Harvey Prince Eau Flirt - Lavender Pumpkin
LUNA Bar
Supergoop!® City Sunscreen Serum
theBalm® cosmetics Mary-Lou Manizer

i think that's why a lot of my boxes from the summer time i liked, because where was always one product i was excited about (stila, diorshow, eyeko, etc.) but these past few months i haven't had that (particularly august and september). essie would probably be enough to keep me hooked on birchbox for a little while again if ipsy wasn't showing everyone up with their bags right now.

 

[traceyc]

I still see Sept box and no tracking.  The last email i got asked if I wanted to opt in to goop

Idk that's what someone said...because she said the bar was disgusting . But who knows.

yes. i read that somewhere. i would have done it myself if my bf didn't pay for my box this month

HAHA same here! If my boyfriend hadn't paid for me I would return mine.

 

[StickyLips]

I got a Goop box without opting for one and I'm pretty happy with it, but I would really like to get the Beautyblender sponge.  Does anyone know if there is a specific setting on the profile that increases one's chance of getting this item? 

 

[kawaiimeows]

this was also just added to box #1

https://www.birchbox.com/shop/birchbox-1/october-2012/october2012box1/naked-princess-lip-gloss

also looks like it has lip plumping formula in it. i know a lot of people don't like that, but i've never tried plumpers so we'll see what happens!
i hope the sample size isn't as pitiful as the perfekt gloss.

 

[yanelib27]

This product was just added to my box, assuming its a decent sample

, I am excited to try it!

Naked Princess Naked Shine Luscious Lip Gloss

 

[ScopeIt]

Man, my box sucks 

SuperGoop! City Suncreen (thanks for the leftover crap, BB, summer is OVER)

Jouer Lip Enhancer (ok with this, actually, I really like Jouer products) Essie goop pick (meh, whatever)
And another Luna bar
3 mediocre samples (one of which is sure to be a foil packet), and a flippin LUNA BAR. I'm pretty mad that I'm only getting 3 samples, even if one is nail polish. Especially seeing the content of other boxes that include the SuperGoop and Essie, I feel like I got shafted. Again. I haven't had a good box yet.

I really want the beauty blender, anyone want to trade for the nail polish?

If it says birchbox-1 in your account's box page, i don't think that's the indication of the box number, it will be "box 1" to our indiv. accounts since we are, after all, designated 1 box/account. I think your box is number 17 (according to Zadi's list, although it's still incomplete), but just judging by the content of your box.

Well apparently I'm just spreading confusion lol.  You're both right about the box# and I didn't even look at Zadi's list this time..my bad..box excitement got to me

..I've never gotten it this early before!

 

[OiiO]

I'm getting box #9 based on my dashboard. Finally I get the only box I wanted! 

I'm a huge tea junkie so I'm excited to try those tea bags, and I've been a long time fan of Caudalie and DDF. I don't care much about the teeny-tiny per-fekt sample, I would've probably given it away even if it was bigger. And yay for Orofluido!! You girls made it sound like some miracle elixir for my hair so I was about to break my points bank and get it in BB store if I didn't receive it in my box this month. Glad I waited /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

BUT I haven't gotten any shipping notices yet.  I usually get it on the 10th and I live in Baltimore so it gets here pretty quickly.

How do you know which box you are getting without shipping info? I clicked box and it have Sept.

Based on this, i got box 6 not box 1 as i stated earlier. I'm happy with my box but i'd be upset with the any of the ones that have 3 products or that freaking perfekt pill.
