They sure dont have a problem finding my inbox when they want to send an email trying to get me to buy someing.

Okaaayy?!?!?  That's exactly what I was going to post.  Except I did get mine for last month, but it was my first one.  I get propaganda email every other day though, no issues with those lol.

Usually the lower box #s go out first (among the first two days of shipping). The later the items ship the higher chance it'll be a higher box #. Usually the lower box #s have been (historically) boxes I never cared for. Doing the lists for the last year I've noticed a trend on box contents and when boxes ship at certain times it'll be certain boxes. Make sense? It makes total sense in my head but not sure if I'm sharing it right.

I hope this is true, because I've not gotten the notification on my other box yet. Maybe I'll have a good chance of getting a good box this month...or at least a different box unlike last month when I got identical boxes.

[jbro2006]

Sweet.  I would go crazy for a Eyeko eyeliner.  I wanted a stila one so bad and didn't get lucky.

Although those band aids are hella cute, I cant remember the last time I needed to use one so I really hope I dont get them. I dont really see the point of them being in a box with a jet setter theme.. am I missing something

I always pack Band-Aids because 1. I have a tendency to run into things  2. I always end up in inappropriate shoes and need emergency blister covers. 3. Broken nails/badly chipped polish

I'm hoping that all new products get put up tomorrow with feedback buttons!

I'm not good with surprises and I really want to know what I am getting.

oops, i forgot to post my weight! .4730... also... I was just grocery shopping at Walmart and ALL of the special edition BAND AIDS (Kermit the frog, Disney, etc.) 20 counts were $2.97. I know Walmart is cheap, but really? $15.00 for bandages sponsored by a model? how ridiculous.

I saw the Cynthia Rowley bandaids at CVS about a month ago for ~$5.00. Idk what BB is thinking charging $15 for them.

I keep them everywhere.  Wallet, Filofax, car, desk, backpack, suitcase -- you name it, Bandaids live there.  Add me to the list of people hoping they get some -- and to the list of people who will be adding them to my swap wishlist.  I cannot comprehend people who say they have no use for them!  Well, unless there's an allergy involved.  *That* is all too familiar to me.  

(And the zippered bags?  I'm hoping for those, too.  I have many, many ideas about how to use them.  But my Ambien just kicked in -- yay!  -- so I'll just go to bed now and ponder the potential there.)

It does seem like thats the way it works.  I have always been one of the last to get a shipping confirmation, and I always great boxes.  My luck may have run out though, as I received my shipping notice this afternoon.

back to the box...yes it is awesome and i am thrilled... i do wish i would have received the tanning wipes instead of the hand sanitizer wipes, but maybe someone will want to trade OR i will get those in my 2nd box. we'll see!

WAHHH My dad warned me when I got my new '09 Bug as a graduation present that eventually we would be paying a lot in maintenance! Its nearly at the end of its 36k warranty and is running fine, but I have these horrible visions of the miles hitting 36001 and the car just falls apart. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

@thewendyybird...what did you get??

I am pretty sure I saw the bandaids at Target for the same price as the rest of the Bandaids a few months ago.

My Birchbox came today! It was waiting at home when I arrived!
 
The weight of my box was 0.4320 and it was one of the previous boxes received by an earlier commenter.
 

 
with the Staniac, Eyeko, self-tanner, etc

 

[peebeenjay]

well now i'm convinced with the other 0.4320 weight boxes having exactally the same items that i will be getting my first box with the

eyeko stick
i'm super excited being with birchbox for only 2 months and getting full size products both months! i don't have a lucky bone in my body!
