I got the bracelet & I really like it. I totally forgot about the 10K thing. I didn't even do anything & I don't even have that many points but I guess it was enough /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I got box #1 (is it the same as 20?) with the Bauble Bar bracelet.

With my luck...... But thats a good point! Didn't think of it that way.

Did everyone get a Baublebar bracelet this month? Maybe they had more bracelets than subscribers /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I managed to get one with only 100 points. I got the Black Wood Pop bracelet, which retails for $20 (seriously?)

The best part is.. Wait for it...



I CAN MATCH WITH BIEBER. Baublebar probably paid him an ungodly amount of money to do that.

I received a notice that my box was "shipped" five days ago, but there's no tracking info yet--I'm sure everyone else in CA feels my pain. Just curious, is the Zoya color advertised for each box the one you're absolutely getting? Mine shows a bright pink polish, which is the only color I would never ever wear lol. I'm pretty happy about this box! Not necessarily products that I think I'd love, but they're things I wouldn't have tried on my own.

Also, just wondering.. What's with the pink box? Why is it different?

I think it's a special box for the people who have been subscribers for the full two years.

BB has only been around for 1 year.  Its a box for the people who are going into their second year with BB.

Birchbox updated you can see which box you got on their page this morning..............Looks like I did get 22, I wanted some of the others a whole lot more. I just cant get over the stupid coasters /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Exactly as Ciaobella stated, it's their box to those entering their 2nd year with BB. BB turned one in September and began the pink box then.

Just got mine yesterday. I got BB6, which was decent I guess (except for those coasters!). I got a mask in my last box though. I am sick of the skincare samples in general; I can't use half of them anyways because my skin in so sensitive and oily (I keep getting samples for dry skin). I definitely don't think they pay attention to your settings in your profile whatsoever.

I feel like there is almost too much variety on what people are getting, which could be part of why so many people are unhappy with their boxes (with 22 different boxes, chances are there is at least one other box you were hoping for instead). Have they always sent out so many different boxes? It seems like when I signed up in April, they didn't have quite as many different boxes.

Re your profile:

Don't mark so many things. When you mark so many things they will pick what ever box and it may contain stuff you don't want.



As for my box, it might be here tomorrow. It's in my state now and with the USPS. According to my profile I'm getting box 22 as well. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Looks like I am getting Box 22 as well. I am a little disappointed. I really wanted box 10 or box 1. I guess I will be giving everything away. I really dislike Borghese products (have tried them in the past) and am not happy that Birchbox is partnering with this brand. I hope I don't see any future Borghese products in my boxes. Last month was my first month and I liked the box and did find a product I loved (Pangea Face Scrub.) Here's hoping next month will be better.

When it comes time to review your box let them know you don't like the product and do not want any product from that company again.

Forgot to mention... my eldest, whom I've previously purchased her four months, is still getting her box since she switched it to her Paypal card to pay for. (I've turned her into a cosmetic monster.) lol She's getting box 5. I  think I might be borrowing her lip gloss! LOL

im new to birchbox..   how do they determine which box you receive??  i got box 14..  which i really loved until i saw the others.. seems i got the worse one!!!  i want box 5!  any info will be helpful..  thanks doll!!

 

[zadidoll]

Play with your profile. (See my post above.) It seems as if the boxes are mainly determined by what styles you pick (Adventurous, Classic, Trendy, etc). Select one or two but not all and see what you get the following month.

 

[Dena Fletcher]

i have picked only one choice per category.....how do you know which box you are receiving before they ship?? 

 

[Dena Fletcher]

how did you know you were getting box 22?  thanks

Well it looks like I am getting box 15!! It should be getting here either late this afternoon or tomorrow. Overall I am pretty excited. I really love getting treats in the mail. I looked at a swatch of Noel (at http://www.temptalia.com/zoya-gems-jewels-collection-swatches-photos-reviews) and it doesn't look too bad. I'm not a shimmer polish girl unless its GOLD but I think this might grow on me. 

The hair tie things look odd from the photos but thats just one thing. 

Other than that, I am glad that this box is pretty packed with a few samples (perfume, polish, 2 lotion scents, a hair tie, and the jouer lip schtuff). 

EEEEEE! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Edit: Still wish I had gotten Holly. That green is to die for!
