I doubt anyone will disagree with me.

They have to be putting something else in that....right?

Hi everyone,this is my first post.

I just saw my Oct.birchbox is updated today,I opt.in for Goop but seems like I am recieving Transformation box.

I think this is box 1?

Have we stopped calling box 1 a punishment box yet? I don't feel punished...Kiehl's is my favorite skincare brand, a lipgloss, and a nail polish? Obviously I don't know sizes, but I feel like that is a good box for me. To each their own, but I'd hardly call it a punishment.

I really love how Box 1 looks, I would have been much happier with it than the one I'm getting! I would've taken it when it was just showimg the Essie too. I'm getting a box with the Perfekt but I'm so (secondhand) annoyed for all the girls who got the box with the candle AND Luna bar. That must be a contender for the worst "beauty" sub box ever... Birchbox REALLY tried with that one.

Definitely. And not to rub salt in any wounds, but my cynical sense of humor has me imagining a bunch of random letters being sent out. A's to Jenny's, T's to Lisa's, etc. I know they have other options with words and quotes, but I can't help to laugh at the possibility of people receiving a candle they're already pissed about with the letter Q on it.

I don't know what BB is thinking when I see those two boxes side by side. It's like they took out the full sized items, because of the box envy, but just started giving out really tiny boxes instead.
 

That said, I totally wouldn't have minded getting that candle in addition to the stuff in my box that I'm happy with. I like candles, and the fragrance sounds interesting.

LMAO I am literally cackling in the middle of my (very small) programming lecture. And the worst part is that you can't even burn the candle and feel satisfied that you're destroying it - because you're just using it!!

 and honestly how big can that candle be??  i mean our boxes arent really all that big in size to have a full sized candle in there.... i dont see it... but maybe they will be short and really wide?

i feel for those that have this box......

 

[ashleyanner]

That has to be one tiiiiiinnnyy candle.  

 

[Kimber123]

Hey new here, been lurking forever! Decided to finally join. Looks like I am getting box 10. I am eh about it. Could be better could be worse, most excited for the

hair serum
jouer lip enhancer
 if it's not a small tiny sample lol

 

[Steffi]

I'm getting that same box!

I got my shipping email yesterday and it stated it's a goop box(I opted in for it), and from the description of the page it looks like a goop box too.

Is anyone else annoyed they're not doing box photos with samples like they used to, just a picture of the box by itself?

 

[Shannon28]

At this point I don't even care what I get, I just want my dashboard to update or to get the shipping email. I'm such an impatient person.

 

[marygoround]

I'm supposed to get the same box. My link shows it as Box 25. https://www.birchbox.com/shop/birchbox-1/october-2012/october2012box25

 I'm not THRILLED to the sky about the box because I really wanted a BeautyBlender, the Chantecaille mascara, or Essie nail polish

  but I also can't complain when I see some of those other "punishment" boxes.  I just hope that these products are a nice size.  I've been subscribing since May and almost all of my boxes had a full-sized or decently sized product to make it worthwhile to receive stuff like Color Club's Tweet Me or a Tili bag or any of the perfume samples, which I've gotten 4 out of six times.

I peeked I had to I was too scared to get a candle with the letter Q on it! Haha! Here is my box contents

Ouidad Climate Control® Heat & Humidity Gel
Buy
Harvey Prince Eau Flirt - Lavender Pumpkin - 100 ml
Buy
theBalm® cosmetics Mary-Lou Manizer
Buy
Mox Botanicals Lip Butter
Buy
Mighty Leaf Tea - Tea Pouches
 
I am relieved and thrilled! Especially for the hair product because my hair just does not behave!

 

[zadidoll]

I'm still waiting for my box update and tracking #. I have done the sneakpeek on my blog but not here simply because several pages were missing at the time I did it plus most pages had one to three items on it so it wasn't worth posting the sneak peek.

 

[classybroad]

Mine is box 26- is this goop? I asked for transformation.

 

[berryjm]

Does BB really think that the Miracle Skin Transformer spf 20 face is reeeealllyyy different from the Miracle Skin Transformer spf 20 body? Seriously.

Plus you at least got 6 items with the Tili bag. The welcome box only has 5 items including the Tili bag. I feel like it's fine if they want to get rid of them, but at least don't cheap out and only give 4 other items with it.

Ugh just realized that my Luna bar is peanut butter according the BB site. I am allergic to peanuts, I wish there was a way for us to tell Birchbox in our profiles what we are allergic to. That is a waste of a "sample" for me :/

 

[zadidoll]

26 is indeed a Goop box. Boxes 1 - 21 are Transformation while 22 and up are Goop boxes.
