I know! I don't really like large bottles of perfume, because I never go through them. I like having smaller bottles, so I can change my scent to my mood each day. So these 8ml bottles are PERFECT for that, and since they are also free, they are even more perfect! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

You could place an order, and then after you do that, try emailing them and asking if they could throw in a sample of the creme so you can smell it, since they give samples with orders anyway. It wouldn't hurt, and I bet they would do it. Their customer service has definitely been impressive!

I might just do that. I hate being that customer that bugs CS since I know what a pain in the butt it is, but since they've been so forthcoming I might as well. I've been eyeing Eau Flirt anyway since fall will be coming soon.

Ooh, and here I am with about six hundred points just *waiting* for something good to order!  And I just sent email asking if the mystery pick-two packs are no longer being offered because part of the past makes it look like they are, but they're not one of the order options.  SO CONFUSE.  We'll see what they have to say when they get around to responding.

Ugh I finally got back to over 100 points and planned on saving for a nice full size item (looking at you benefit hello flawless oxygen wow). But if this limited edition box ends up being reasonably priced i'm going to be so tempted BAHA.

Just saw it!  One day I'll just crack and buy one!  (I need to make a $36 order anyway to bring my points up to an even 300, maybe something cool will be in this box!)

ETA: I have no idea how much this box will cost, I just remember one of the last few LE boxes being $35.

I have 300 points just burning a hole in my pocket!! Hope it's a good one!

birchbox home: $58

superwoman box:  $58

from the garden box: $32

cew boxes: $18 and $12

here comes the bride box: $48

there seems to be a variety with their limited editions honestly. i wonder if this one will be a little bit pricier since the cew boxes were so reasonable.

eta: i do NOT remember this box at all, but i found it when i googled "birchbox limited edition box" thoughts anyone?

Yeah, I usually don't do that either, but I figured, since they throw in samples in every order anyway... couldn't hurt to ask them to be a tad less random about it! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

LE box tomorrow, eh? giggity!

They've only started doing these LE Boxes in the last year or so and I vividly remember all of them, and I do NOT remember that Just Because box, so I have a feeling that might be it.

not sure?  the description reads as if the LE boxes are a new thing...

 

[meaganola]

The Just Because box was the first one they did, way back in May 2011 -- and I remember this because it was a BIG DEAL that they were going to start doing these, so I grabbed it (that was actually my first purchase in the Birchbox shop!).  I'm still using the coasters, hair serum (I had a pixie when I received this stuff, so I had no need for it at the time, but I kept it around, and now my hair is getting past shoulder-length, so I use serums frequently), and lip gloss, and I swapped the eye shadow away for something quite a while ago.  It was okay, but they have gotten much better at curating with an eye towards a good value.

ah you're definitely right. this is a REALLY old box, 2011 to be exact. which is weird because they really just started rolling out the LE boxes in the last year or so.

It's the head of the class box- it was on the site for a few hours but they took it down (you couldn't buy it but you could see the page). This is all I can find now, the link 404s:

I don't think the price was up yet, either.

NICE! I had a feeling it might be "school" themed so I tried the word school in the birchbox search and got nothing lmao.

eta: ugh after staring hard at that pic i feel like i'm lusting after it. the hairclips (i think those are barrettes anyway?), the journal, the bag, all so cute. i have a feeling i might be putting 100 points towards this baha.

 

[mariahk83]

meh...more CC

 

[deactivateduser232015]

I'd be okay with ignoring the CC or pawning it off to other people for the other things in the bag. it looks kind of like a cute bag. then again i might be easily swayed by hairclips

I think I remember that the color club polishes were full size? I know people have posted about the consistency being better in the full size bottles.

I've actually really liked the consistency of the minis I've gotten. Hasn't been streaky for me, and doesn't chip. I've just not been super keen on the colors I got. 

I wonder what's in the little pots? Glitter? Loose shadow?
