If they would have sent her another box it would be ok but I was charged for 2 and only got one (for her).

haha if they charge me they won't have a place to get money from, my paypal account has like $1 XD

Question for west coast ladies: Does your expected delivery dates say Dec26-28?  This bums me out because I remember GB saying again and again that if you order before Dec 9 that it will be there before Xmas (and I did so in Nov). I know that it usually comes in maybe a day before (or two days if i'm lucky). Nothing I can do about it at this point really except oogle everyone elses box.

I was so annoyed to see that too! Ugh!

I got my two boxes today. and they are EXACTLY the same. same Zoya in storm and the same exact rings. I'm pretty bummed, but will have to update my trade list asap!

Box twins, Jazbot!  Love the Zoya!  Very very excited about the body oil.  Love them during the winter.  Bath salts are going to be traded or given away though.  The rings are very cute!

One of my boxes (the gift box) is a day or two away, but the other hasn't shown any movement yet.

Sounds good! PM me tho.  Moderaters are moderating trades on the forum.

Is anyones Bath and Shower Oil expired? Mine says 11/12 as an expiration date. (I would send a pic but am still not clear about how to do a spoiler).

So happy with the nail color. Not so happy with the ring.  I was hoping for the two tiny ones as my fingers are  < size 4.  But how is GB supposed to know that?  Lol.
Got my GB today.  Hope those still waiting get theirs soon! Happy holidays!

Did anyone get a polish from the ornate collection that wasn't Storm, Ziv, or Elektra? Ugh of the six, two of those in the former there are the ones I didn't want, and I'd wanted four of the six. :| Holding out for Logan because green ftw.

I thought the same thing but that is actually the manufactured date /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I believe that is the date the product was made, Mfg. M/Y 11/12 (manufacture date?)

The tiny rings actually look very cute! I think my ring finger is a 3.5... hmm.

My box below:

About the VERY SMALL rings... check out this picture I just got in my e-mail.  I believe they were intended to be this small.

Possibly. The problem I see is that fashion blogging is a different animal than beauty and what's considered beautiful in the fashion world may not translate into the beauty world. I've seen some fashion articles where the makeup and choices let me with that same

face. lol


I would have the same concern if she were actually putting together LOOKS or something like that...but picking nice products is something that a person can do regardless of fashion vs. beauty. I mean, we've gotten ugly colors from Illamasqua twice already, surely she can't pick anything worse than that...

And her beauty posts on her blog feature great products (nars blushes, diorskin, YSL, Essie...), so I'm excited.

yes, they are called Knuckle Rings.  Been trending since Fashion Week.

Did anyone one else get a HUGE silver square chunky bracelet?? It looks too overpowering on my small wrists.. I'm hoping the box I had sent to my college home has different stuff it in than the one i received at home. I was wanting to get a few different things and give my mom the duplicates.

I feel like if I wore those in public, I'd get funny stares all day long.

Ya, it's manufactured date, and then it says, it expires 24 months after the manufactured date /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> And lucky you, you got the lipstick! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Thanks, my first box thanks to 40% off and ebates. Contemplating if I should continue because I'm more of a Birchbox price range girl!

I'm debating the same thing as well! I love the size of the samples but I have heard bad things about customer service.

I think this is cool! I do not buy or wear costume jewelry so I'll be giving away or trading anything I get, but I might hold on to the knuckle rings. Very unique!
