yeah. like how they sent people the beauty blender cleanser before they got the beauty blender itself, or a conditioner without the shampoo to match. at least with the my shade of brown box i got, i have a facial wash/toner/face scrub deluxe sample set. my box came last week and i still have tons of it to use up /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

You and I must have similar profiles, we received the same box last month and it looks like we'll be box twins again this month.

I got those two boxes too - guess we're triplets!

So I threw a diff email address in when the goop newsletter went out to reserve a box. I opted in on my original account but got a "transformation email".... This morning I got an email from Birchbox/goop to buy the goop box. So I opened another subscription. Interesting. My main account still has septembers info :/

I think it also depends on the companies and what they want to send out

Is it just me or did anyone else expect a super awesome box from birchbox last month for their 2 year anniversary? Needless to say I was underwhelmed by foil packets of products. I was hoping that it would include something exciting, beyond another color club nail polish. Disappointment. Then they teamed up with goop, which I also expected some really great stuff/a full size something/at least a really big sample of something great. And again disappointment. Previously the boxes when they teamed up with someone else ended up including at least something good. I mean great that some boxes got Essie, but In my teenvogue I got an Essie, a tarte lipsurgence, and a twistband. Why in the world are the October boxes better than the goop boxes. When did it become the thing for bb to send tea AND bars in the same box? It doesn't make sense. Their subscriptions have skyrocketed and I feel like as they grew their boxes shrunk in value, which is exactly the opposite direction that it should have gone. With more subs and money coming in, they should be able to snag more and more large (true deluxe sized) samples. As a company they should be expecting more from their suppliers. We expect more from them, and we are the ones paying for these foil packets, tea, bars, HAND SANITIZER packets, and other random box filling samples, that we could get for free by doing the same thing bb does and contact companies directly. This is becoming such a disappointment.

I know how you feel girl. Birchbox and monthly favorite videos are sooo time sensitve. Unless you're an established YouTuber, if you miss the window, it's no bueno. Here's to hoping we both get to make unboxing videos asap. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

OMG this sucks haha...It's so hard because last month I was one of the first to get my box and now I have NO clue when this thing will get here! LOL

Good luck Jess, can't wait to see your vid

After a little inspiration, I also just signed up for the October ipsy! Excited.  Thanks ladies.

I bet all of these other subs are LOVING all the BB hate and cancellations.

I kind of feel a little bit bad for them (not too bad though)

I'm so confused. 

I have two subs.

Sub #1 I got an email and opted in for Goop. Don't have a shipping email and my box page says Goop but shows Box #3 I believe.  

Sub #2 I never got an email and didn't opt in or out for Goop. I have a shipping email that says Goop, a box page that says Goop but shows Box #5. No clue what is going on. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

box #5 is goop.

The Essie colors have changed on the birchbox website. There used to be a pretty dark purple color and its not there anymore.

Nevermind, figured it out.

No...I bought two subs and got welcome boxes on both. They weren't gift subs or subs bought with points. Straight up, monthly subs.

Does anyone know what size the

Mox Lip Butter and Mary Lou Manizer
is?

Not sure the exact size, but they have spoiler pictures on their FB page that should give you a decent estimate.

both sample sized

I'm getting a good box (23). I'm happy to finally be trying the LiQWd products this time around as I wanted to before, but I wish they were sending shampoo and conditioner instead of conditioner and styling. If anyone has the other LiQWd products they're willing to part with, I have a trade list!

Oh, thank you! I never get mine that late...stupid Goops holding up my box! He He He j/k

If you zoom into the picture of the Mox enough, you can see that it's 0.1oz, or half the size of the full-size.

Looks like I'm getting box 3 with the hair powder, face mask, embryolisse, naked princess lipgloss, and luna bar. I'm excited for everything but the hair powder - I JUST received the same sample from birchbox a couple of months ago. I'm going to try and keep an open mind for all of the other stuff. I've always wanted to try Embryolisse, so at least that's a win.

But the hair powder? Birchbox, I'm drafting my email right now...muahahaha

I'm half expecting my DDF Cleanser to leak onto everything simply because the smell of anise (black licorice) makes me gag. It would just be the icing on the cake.
