Birchbox October 2012

[melonz]

I'm getting:

 

 

 

 

 

ADSJHDH!! I don't know. I really had my heart set on getting a beauty blender! I know the per-fekt is going to be that pill size, which I also already have. And I know that Caudalie hardly fills their tiny sample packets up. AND two food items!!!! If anyone wants to trade anything from my box for a beauty blender, PM ME!! =)

sooo i caved in and ate the damn luna bar. i actually like it. it was much better than this chocolate one that i got at cvs a few months earlier. i can't tell if i like it because i'm starving or because it's good.

i guess it's time for me to take a shower with my malin and goetz body wash and facial cleanser , put the ouidad curl cream that i got in my curlBOX last month in my hair, put the sprout lip balm on my lips before applying my lipstick and then put my sunscreen on before i head out the door. yup, that sums up my box for the month

Actually I just got a message back from them on Facebook regarding the possible box mix up... They said that they're working to fix it at the moment and that the page can still update to show a different box.

I'm liking the look of the naked princess gloss. To anyone who gets it let me know how you like it please I may have to buy it

It's a subscription service - there are always going to be stuff you don't like no matter what and that's just the risk. All I want is stuff that matches my profile (e.g. getting products that are geared toward my skin tone and hair type), to get sample sizes that are actually reasonable (re: Perfekt pill), and for BB to stop pretending nothing is their fault (blaming UPS/USPS when boxes haven't even shipped).

THIS!!!!!

HOLY CRAP YOU GUYS. I think I'm getting box #3, which is a transformations box. I had opted into goop but whatever!   Okay, now the description is talking about Goop. 

 I can't believe the stuff I'm getting. 

Lulu Organics® Lavender + Clary Sage Hair Powder

LUNA Bar (Peanut Butter Cookie I think)

Karuna Hydrating Treatment Mask

Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentrè (24-Hour Miracle Cream)

Naked Princess Naked Shine Luscious Lip Gloss

Just last night someone here mentioned the Embryolisse cream and I thought man, that'd be great to get. I have miserably dry skin and I've been experimenting with masks and peels. 

Unfortunately the picture is broken so I can't see what size anything is. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I am getting box 1...I know people are not looking forward to it, but I like the full-sized Essie, and the other two beauty products seem like ones I'd use. Last month I had more products, but HATED the color club neon vomit color, so it was really like 3 products anyway. 

I feel like now the crappy flower thing seems like a bonus, since so many of us only have three products, bc those boxes already had a few other  products in them. It was two creams and a cleanser as well, if I'm remembering correctly?

yup, they have now updated the description to match the box, at least for me (box 1- description changed from transformation to Goop).

Haha, I was getting 4 different subs a month, but made myself cancel 2, because I like "this is a problem". It's addictive. I ended up keeping my subs to birchbox and ipsy. I hope you like ipsy, I love them. I joined in feb, and I was really unhappy at first. But I think they started to take the feedback given to them on their FB page because their bags are so much better now. I get so excited to see the shiny pink bubble envelope each month (more so than birchbox anymore). /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

aww man...looks like i have only 4 items in my goop box (box 1). don't know if they'll add anything else...

but i cannot complain. i am trying to just be appreciative and grateful and not witchy and whiny (like i usually am).

going through a personality do-over.

Same - now it says Goop. I'm hoping the cream is a decent size. Anyone else received their box # 3 yet?

Just signed up for Ipsy! That October bag is WOW!!! Makes up for the completely sh*tty box BB is sending my way.

The sample reviews for this month won't even bump me up to $30 to spend. Do I give them one more month, or cash in my points now and cancel my sub so I can stop this monthly source of aggravation? I was so excited when I first signed up, waited for WEEKS, and now I have nothing good to say. My boxes have all been underwhelming. It's worse when you compare what you got to the other awesome boxes. I just walk away feeling cheated.

It appears as though they have fixed the headers labeling your box "Goop" or "Transformation" on the BB website.

Check out my thread in my signature! I have a ton of full size and deluxe stuff too and will be adding some more things once I get my laptop up and running again. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Nope. Did anyone else get a shipping invoice for #3? I have one that hasn't been updated for a week and I have a feeling it was for the welcome box on my other account even though it said "october shipping"

I'm quite tempted to sign up for Ipsy but I'm hanging around with BB for at least until next month, just because I'm curious to see if they actually put together great boxes to placate all the unhappy people from the past 2 months, or if they continue this downward spiral.

 

[prachisrk]

Yeah my shipping info has not been updated for ages.
