I don't think the favorites are necessarily actually favorites...they probably had to pick items with big enough profit margins to offer a significant discount too. Still, if they can offer the Beauty Protector shampoo/conditioner, it seems like they'd be able to offer the spray too. Considering the Folle de Joie...but even with points, it's just so darn expensive!! I don't know if I can justify it, even if it's my favorite perfume ever ever ever.

exactly. given as much as they've plugged the spray as a "fan favorite" i'm really surprised by the list. i didn't realize the atelier orange perfume was a favorite level either (i've never even seen it sampled?!! i really liked the patchouli and rose ones though).

Ugh. I'm getting box 33. In a month with so many new brands and products, the only new product in this box is the nail polish. The other products have all been sent previously (and if I recall correctly, I breathed a sigh of relief when I didn't get them the first time around.)
On the bright side, my tracking still isn't working, so that means this box might get lost in transit!

I know the feeling. I was super excited about all the new hair products and was kinda meh about getting the beauty protector shampoo & conditioner. FWIW, if your skin dries out really badly during the winter, the nipple balm really came in handy for me last winter when i got it.

I just got shipping emails for both my boxes at the exact same time as well, but neither of mine update either. Also, my box pages are still on august....maybe theyre just getting all the tracking numbers assigned and we won't end up with dupes

I have never tried the beauty protector spray. I noticed the 12 Benefits instant healthy hair treatment in the favorites shop. Does anyone know how these compare? I am thinking about ordering one. Is the beauty protector spray worth the extra $$?

So I wasn't going to look until my shipping updated and I saw that my ETA was 9/16. Another week?! So I peeked. I'm getting box 41 punishment box as far as I'm concerned. Pretty sure ill swap everything except the polish, according to the picture I'm getting purple which is the only color I liked...hopefully that's what I'll actually receive!

i'm afraid of committing because i can't afford to do two BBs *every* month on a broke student budget, BUT, the plus side is if i do it, i can cancel, and if they have any exclusive universal items like this again i can always just resign back up on that account at any time. i definitely feel like there was so much awesome variety this month that i'd love to try a few more items.

I figured there's no point putting it in a spoiler since there are so many variations.
RUFFIAN Nail Lacquer - I'm not sure if the color in the picture is what I end up receiving, but among those three purple was my least favorite. I don't dislike it, I just already have a similar color in my collection, but nothing close to the other two. Looking forward to checking out the formula though.
Juice Beauty Green Apple Peel Sensitive - tried this peel before and I kinda like it. It' not as intense as their regular version, but it also doesn't provide the same results. This one is going straight to my travel bag.
COOLA SPF 30 Matte Finish Cucumber for Face - I like Coola sunscreens, unlike many people I'm not that bothered by their fragrances, and I quite enjoy the lightweight formula. This sample should last me a couple days at least.
Racinne Ultimate Youth Power Eye Serum - eye products usually last me for ages, and this looks like a pretty generous sample considering how very little you need to use. Looking forward to trying it, since I'm an eye care junkie.
Benefit Ultra Plush Lip Gloss - I swear, September is my Benefit month! I got my Birthday gift from Sephora the other day, won the ipsy LashBash party hosting raffle and now this very generous sample of lip gloss. I feel like my makeup bag is now nothing but Benefit products, and I'm not complaining!
Overall a much better bag than I expected when I first saw the weight.
This is my box too. It's ok. Ha! So funny how a dream box for one can be "meh" for another. I think it's a nice box but the items I was most interested in trying are not included in this box and I the only color of polish I was interested in was the Hedge Fund. The gloss - I can take it or leave it. I will use the green apple peel but will most likely trade everything else. Womp womp...
I just got this box in the mail today, did you guys really get the "Coola SPF 30 matte finish cucumber for face"? Because that's what my online box shows, but the sample that I got (and the writing on the sample card in the actual box) is "Coola tinted matte SPF 30 for Face". I'm actually happier with the tinted and unscented sample I received, but I think my review will show up on the wrong product or I won't get points for it correctly?

Sorry to go off topic with the Birchbox local NYC event...but I thought some ladies would appreciate knowing what was on the sample wall! Info's in the spoiler...
Thanks for this info! How long was the wait? I have an appointment... so I guess I can just go right in? I'm trying to figure out when I need to leave work and what train I can get back home, because my life revolves around public transit.
