Yup, I'm pretty sure they pre-print the labels then pack the boxes. I got my UPS mychoice email last week and it hasn't moved yet. Same with last month, it printed on probably the 27th, and the package didn't move til the 1st.

I have to agree. I think LMdB gets the boxes packed & labels printed so they are set to ship on the 1st which I love. This company is amazing right down to their shipping. Oh and PS.. Anyone else think that the boxes posted in the Instagram photo are a different size then what we recieved for August? They look boxier to me instead of rectangular. Anyone want to try to guess as to what we might be getting in Septembers pretty little black box? Excited /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Yes, they definitely looked like boxier boxes to me! I have no clue what we might be getting, though. I thought the boxes they used for August seemed to be big enough to hold anything since the Kaleidoscopes fit with no problem, so the fact that the September boxes appear to have different dimensions intrigues me.

Maybe the shape is more square boxy because we are getting a product that requires the box to be taller, like the daily replenishing solution. It looks smaller but taller.

 

[akicowi]

I agree as well. Sadly they also look smaller than the August box if they are using the same ribbon as last time.

I keep flipping back and forth between pictures and this month's ribbon looks thicker to me. It could be the scale of the pic but that's my opinion!

Hopefully it's a thicker ribbon.

thicker ribbon = bigger box? hmmmm

I am hoping for some skincare, the replenishing solution would be AMAZING! But I'm wondering if maybe some nail polish?? Possibly boxier to add some extra padding inside. But no matter what I'm sure I will love it. I've actually used their polish before and really like their formula.

I'm coveting more eye shadows and liners- I would Luv anything in jewel tones!!!

 

[wonderings]

Hee hee - I love the speculation about box & ribbon width and what it might mean for our upcoming box!  Feelin' hungry for hints & spoilers, myself!

Speculation-o-rama, leaping off of what some folks have suggested above:

1) this will be the 'moderate our expectations' box (not a bad idea actually!), after the amazing first box and kabuki brush gift.  So something like a small set of nail polish and the taller box is so they can stand up (?)   (I'm looking forward to trying LMdB polish!)

  - or -

2) since the first box was makeup, perhaps this one will contain a skincare product, which would blow the $29 monthly price tag out of the water.  Again.  Most skincare items are taller / chunkier than makeup items, and we already received the only (?) "chunkier" makeup item, a kaleidescope last month.

  - or -

3) maybe this is just the size box they had the most of on LMdB headquarters and the size/shape means nothing.  ;^)

How long ago did you sub?  I'm sure it's fine if it shows up on your account page that you have it, the email will probably show up later.  I can't believe that they haven't filled the 50 spots yet.  I'm so glad so many of us had a second chance to squeak in.

I wonder if we'll get hints for this month?  Or just spoilers?  I'm ready for both!

 

[meaganola]

I half-wonder if maybe they're switching to a chunkier box -- rather than the thinner box used for the August box -- in a move to make their boxes look different from the other subs out there. The August box was about the same proportions as the ones used by Birchbox, Starlooks, etc. A taller and more square box would really feel more like a *present* -- almost like a box for jewelry -- than another subscription. ETA: I would love to see a nail polish (I will always want nail polish!), Creme Fresh Tint (especially Poppy!), or lip gloss (I'm really curious about their formula).

 

[starr5747]

Whew..I was starting to wonder if my subscription didn't go through or something. I got a confirmation email, but states paid unfulfilled. See others that say that. I guess I am excited and paranoid about the box!!

 

[Playedinloops]

I loooove the boxes that they posted on instagram. They are so cute! 

 

[IffB]

OMG.... I am weak....this better be awesome because I just purchased!

I probably would sub if there was an option to select products in a particular shade. I am most interested in the powders, concealers and foundations from this brand, and unless I can specify very pale shades, it would not work for me...But I am sure I will be very jealous and excited to see what everyone is getting!

Other than Birchbox that I prepaid for one year, and PopSugar that I renew every 3 months, I am saying good bye to the subs due to my huge amount of products I already have to try or give away. I will try to stick to the occasional cosmetic GWP (like the awesome Clinique one starting at Bloomingdale's next week!), but no more surprises!

Eating my words in shame.  Come to me, luxurious makeup, come to me all year around!

Same, I really wish I could try out one or two months, but I'm definitely not signing up for a year like that.

That's too bad, because I'm really into complexion products. I guess this sub really isn't targeted for me, despite being such a great deal.
