I opted in for a goop box on one account and opted out on the other account. I'm getting supergoop and a luna bar in BOTH boxes.

This is the first time I don't want to try any of the items at all.. Unusual, because I'm typically a fan and supporter of BB. I guess one box makes up for the other.

yeah this isn't like you or myself. you cheered me up when i got my june box and you took the cologne off of my hands, hehe. i guess a dull box was bound to happen to both of us /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

i think that zadidoll has an october birchbox list on her website. i can't remember what the exact link is but it's in her profile signature under "blog".

i noticed that people get this pink leather keychain lipstick holder thingie thanking them for their loyalty. not sure if it's the 12th or 13th month...

I got one, before my box. I don't know if it matters, but I have an annual subscription though.

Hey Box twin! Hope you like your box as much as I liked mine!

Does anyone have a referral code (if they even supply them) for myglam?

 

[Meshybelle]

Has anyone else not received a shipping e-mail? Also, is there anyone else getting box 36?

 

[VianneyAimee]

Wow, I have never been this disappointed with my birchbox! All I wanted was a chantecaille mascara or lip gloss... I'm getting box 11:

Caudalie Vinoperfect Complexion Correcting Radiance Serum

DDF® Brightening Cleanser

Miracle Skin Transformer SPF20 Face

per-fékt beauty Lip Perfection Gel (seriously???????????)

LUNA Fiber Chocolate Raspberry

Mighty Leaf Tea - Tea Pouches

Two edible items? Not cool at all.

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.

Ahhh...this is what happened to me. just says box 1 but the contents match box 17.

 

[antonella]

i thougth it was vice versa

i don't think you're allowed to give referral codes out on here. i got in trouble for that when i first joined mut lol

I would hate that! What did they say...did you e-mail them?

That they can't do anything about it but that on the off chance (BS) that I get something I can't use, I should give it to a friend or family member and share the BB love... meanwhile I contacted conscious box and they said that they didn't have a way to make sure I didn't get anything with almond oil (big in all natural products) and so they didn't feel right taking my money, but that they hope to make a nut free/perfume free box sometime soon! I was really impressed by them, not so much by BB.

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

I know :-( I really wanted that color too! Boo.

Yeah, but only random people get it.. like some people who have been subbing since day 1 haven't gotten it and others who are 3 months in have.. there's no rhyme or reason.. which is typical of BB!

Aww, thanks. Didn't you get in on the sample shop? I was living vicariously through all you ladies! I guess a lackluster box was bound to come along. My BB honeymoon is over, but I'm staying with the relationship lol!

 

[prachisrk]

Yep no emails for either of my two boxes

I got a box 5 /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />   does anyone know what the actual sizes of the products are?  I am out of town for a few weeks so i wont be there to pick up my box so I was just wondering... if you got box 5 can u take a picture of your samples?  thanks

This can be the new Punishment Box. I doubt anyone will disagree with me. https://www.birchbox.com/shop/birchbox-1/october-2012/october2012box12

I know for a fact that jouer lip balm is about the size of a quarter lol. unless they gave you the full $14 one, which I seriously doubt.

oh no, i didn't get to go to the sample shop when i was living in NYC but i did get a major haul of samples from sephora and attended a few birchbox events in the city before i moved down south if that is what you mean.

i normally a cheerleader for bb but not this month. i judged the box before i got it in the mail, and after i used the products and it still sucks.

i can't wait to try the stuff in my ipsy bag and find out what is going to be in my curlBOX this month. curlBOX's shipping is awesome and i get nearly  2 lbs. of hair products.  I decided to uncheck everything on my bb profile that involved hair b/c birchbox sends me wayyyyy too many hair products and i have a hair sub for natural hair

 

[fanchette]

Well, this isn't exactly about this month, but I emailed them this weekend asking if there was a way to "reset" a box so that it was possible to receive the samples from that box. (I never got one of my boxes and it had eyeko, ahava mud mask, alterna and harvey prince hello - all thinks I wouldn't mind trying out) 

they said no of course, but first, they had to send me a pointless email saying they received my email

then a second one saying they received my question

then a third telling me no. 

cs needs a seminar
