Birchbox October 2012

[Marvelous M]

I had to e-mail them as well. I too got thee cursed little floral pill >_<. I just couldn't believe it. I didn't opt in this goop pill was forced down my throat as they chose this "deluxe sample" for me. I let em know that I have full lips...what was I to do with this!? smh...

Ok, birchbox is officially done, if I actually get what they have listed.

Hello punishment box, nice to see you!! (Box #1) Let's hope that the Essie is a REALLY cute color. If it's a nude I'll be angry. I'd be happy with the first four essie colors that are on the BB website, but I still have no box image so IDK what color I'm getting!

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" />

I'm getting box 9 too! I'm so excited because the DDF, Caudalie, and Orofluido brands have been on the top of my list of things I've been dying to try.

I already got the lip gloss sample for free from Perfekt and in the same Melrose color which is a pretty ugly color in the package, but I'm not going to witch about it this time because the DDF itself is probably worth more than my box alone.

I really hope there is something else in my Birchbox! A candle and Lara Bar with a tiny Jouer lip sample (I already have) and a packet of sunscreen! I was really hoping to get kiehls.

I am assuming that between the Eyeko mess and the number of boxes the web people just can't catch up. From the formatting last month on some boxes its probably also a new programmer. I could just imagine if one of my husband's clients came to him and said that he had to reshoot, touch up and redo the coding and still have the same deadline. First of all he would rant to me for an hour and make me help him and secondly he would suggest a disclaimer on the website because it will not be done on time.

im so mad i got the goop box i shouldve picked the transformation one

 

[missionista]

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

Bummer.  In that case, it looks like I am getting Goop box 29 (when I specifically opted out).

Haha. That's what I'm getting too! I'm hoping for something else as well and focusing on staying positive!

i don't have my box yet but couldn't help looking lol

if anyone wants the MLM i'll be happy to trade (spoiler doesn't work up here for some reason... ugh). i have the fullsize of this already and there's a teeny dip after a year of usage, so i don't need the sample. 

overall, MUCH better than last month for me! this is my box (I opted out of Goop) 

 

• 
  BENTA BERRY G-1 Moisturizing Face Cream
   
• 
  theBalm® cosmetics Mary-Lou Manizer
  
• 
  Mox Botanicals Lip Butter
   
• 
  Harvey Prince Hello - 50 ml
  
  
  
  ALSO... luna bars are delicious. you all should give it a try. my favorite is lemon zest, i swear, i am addicted to it!!

Inevitably I am disappointed not to have gotten an Essie polish or a beauty blender (I've never tried it before) but overall I am happy (minus the Luna bar).

I am getting Trasnformation Box 21 which contains

Chantecaille Faux Cils Mascara
DDF® Wrinkle Resist Plus Pore Minimizer Moisturizing Serum
EVE LOM Cleanser
EVE LOM Muslin Cloths
LUNA Bar
and I am getting Goop Box 23 which contains

Harvey Prince Eau Flirt - Lavender Pumpkin
LiQWd The Perfect Wave
Mighty Leaf Tea - Tea Pouches
Mox Botanicals Lip Butter
theBalm® cosmetics Mary-Lou Manizer

BUT when I look at my BB account it says I am also getting the LiQWD deep conditioning treatment.

Even though I am pretty happy with my boxes I might entertain a trade of some items for the Essie polish, Chantecaille lip gloss and beauty blender.

i'm actually really happy with my boxes for this month! i have two accounts & am receiving a goop and transformation box! & i am getting two boxes with none of the same products which makes me really happy! 

for the goop box I am getting box 9! this is the famous box with the HUGE DDF cleanser, the OROFLUIDO Elixir, Caudalie Vinoperfect Complexion Correcting Radiance Serum, Mighty Leaf Tea - Tea Pouches and the teeny tiny per-fékt beauty Lip Perfection Gel. but heres the thing I was planning on purchasing the DDF cleanser that is usually $38. this sample is worth $20.22! thats worth my $10 a month!! so i think everyone should quit complaining about the tiny little flower packet bc we have received a HUGE sample of something else sorry but lets just keep positive!

for the transformation box I am getting box 25! zadidoll's page has yet to be updated so box 25 actually contains:

ENTA BERRY G-1 Moisturizing Face Cream

LiQWd SiLK Professional Deep Conditioning Treatment

LiQWd The Perfect Wave

Mox Botanicals Lip Butter

theBalm® cosmetics Mary-Lou Manizer
tili Bags Small Collection 1 I am excited about this box! i've never tried any of these things & isn't that the point of birchbox? to try things you never usually would? & i get to review 6 items which translates to $6, making this a $4 box, and i'm sure the value of it surpasses $4. anyways I know a lot of you seem disappointed, but keep positive & give birchbox another chance  

 

[diana16]

So I'm guessing box 23 is a goop box? I had opted out lol but im still happy with it although now that I know it is a goop i would have wanted a beauty blender :/

 

[tessak]

I have a Beauty Blender and Chantecaille gloss (and much more) on my trade list if anyone is interested! It's linked in my signature.

 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" />

Im getting that box and I am most excited to try the 

Karuna Hydrating Treatment Mask

 

[ams17]

Hello! First time poster, long time lurker. I haven't seen anyone post anything like my box, so I thought I'd share. Not sure what box number it is at this point.

I am thrilled! Other than the ziploc bag, I'll use everything!  My last 2 boxes were awful. so this makes up for it.
 

 

[xoxoelyse]

My box just updated so even though I don't love the items at least I will get 70 points from it..

I have TWO food items though, really BB?!

 

[ashereebee]

My shipping finally updated and it is supposed to arrive Monday.  I didn't want to totally spoil the surprise but wanted to know something about what I was getting so I looked through the October Box items and clicked on the MLM and I am getting it!  Yay-a makeup product!  It looks as though the boxes with MLM have at least one-two other items I would be happy with.   /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Same and same! I hope it's a good sized sample with multiple uses. I love face masks, but only one use wouldn't really be a lot to go off of.

I'm feeling a little less upset, especially since that box has the gloss. It wasn't there when I checked this morning, and I was seething. I signed up for Ipsy this morning, and I can't decide if I want to cancel my extra BB account or not - that one usually gets the better stuff! I'm thinking maybe I'll go next month with having three accounts, and then decide where I want to keep Ipsy again or my extra BB. So yes.

 

[nelliebelle1197]

This is the one I got! I like it a lot!

Edit to add: Oh, and yes, I did opt in for the goop box, and this is one. Also, I am 34.

 

[Jennifer Love]

I'm getting Box 30.  Talk about punishment!  Cripes.  There isn't a single thing in there that I will use.  (Okay, I'll eat the chocolate peanut butter Luna bar eventually.  But I honestly will not use the rest of these ever.  Is the Juicy perfume one of those itty spray vials from Sephora?  Are the vitamins just 2 or 3 in a packet?  I heard Jouer puts a weeny amount of stuff in their samples.  Not pleased.  At all.  I'll be cancelling as soon as I use up my points.
