I'm new to this forum now that the Discussions tab on Facebook no longer exists.  Is there a page dedicated to trading unwanted samples?  I have a couple from this month, as well as a few from previous months.  Thanks!

 
how did you know you were getting box 15?????

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!

Bleh.  Borghese reminds me of drug store, not high end(I think the nail polish).  That post card thing came with the tube of perfume, which smells alright, I guess.  I have so many perfume samples between Sephora (they just sent me like 10 to 15 with my last order) and this that I don't need to buy any for a long while.  That Zoya is one I don't have, so I'm happy.  I actually like the Bauble Bar bracelet.  They should've sent something like that in September instead of that crappy piece of string they sent.

Thrilled! I"m getting box 22 with the Baublebar! I was wishing for the Lavanilla body butter though. 

 
I went to birchbox.com and signed in and clicked box. Where it used to say like "Your box has shipped!" it now has the message from this months card and tells you whats in your box. Hope you get some good stuff :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Yeah I noticed that just yesterday their discussion board is gone! I've been on it all week and then BAM it's gone. I wonder why? Maybe some ppl were putting up negative things. IDK.

 
I thin its because there may have been talk about the contents, which becomes a spoiler for people that haven't recieed their boxes...but then again we're all on here looking for info haha

Facebook has done away with discussion boards as a whole, not just Birchbox but any page.

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.

I agree, My first box was this past august but even then the box numbers have escalated, but the contents don't seem to be too different..There does always seem to be one full of items from previous months tho = which for some might be good if they wanted something they didn't receive but seems kinda like you're getting left overs (if it was me). I've always loved my boxes tho, and seem to like them more and more with each box. I'm still waititing on this months tho, I hate living in cali, and I just found out I'm getting BB22!

 
November Birchbox = A+

I received Birchbox #21. In it contains

Klorane Eye Makeup Remover - Perfect size to throw in my wristlet when I go out. I'm in college and often end up staying at my friend's house at the end of the night and waking up in the morning with smudged makeup all over your face isnt cute. Excited to try, especially with my sensitive eyes.

LaROCCA Skincare Body Polish - I'm mainly excied because of the gold in it. Hahah, kidding. But it seems like a nice scrub. Decent size sample and I like the packaging (definitely will up-cycle the tiny tub for something!)

Oscar Blandi Protein Mist  - Here comes winter and my brittle hair, it claims to revive dry ends so lets see how it works in this weather.

Zoya Polish in Noel - Pretty blue color and my FIRST Zoya nail polish. VERYYYY excited. 

My extra was the chocolate, which I havent tried yet. But I also received the Baublebar!  Its cute and classy with the one rhinestone ball, should be fun to wear out.

Birchbox surprised me this month and I'm excited. All the samples are a good size (not like that TINY jouer lip enhancer) and from great brands. 

 
No thats not why, Facebook itself took it away from every page.  The announced that they were removing discussion boards about a month ago.  BB did not remove it, Facebook did.

Looks like I am getting BB22.

PRIZE UNLOCKED! BaubleBar Black Wood Pop Bracelet
Thank you for referring friends, giving feedback, or buying products in our shop. Your reward: some in-box bling (a sweet BaubleBar bracelet) and, of course, your hard-earned Birchbox Points

^^^

I so wasn't even expecting that!!!!

I am also very curious about the Atelier cologne. I am so not disappointed with the coasters (I can give those to my mom..she loves coasters and collecting them from everywhere!) since I am getting the baublebar bracelet!

 
I so did not like the Jouer lip enchancer. It made my lips sticky same with the BeFine lip serum I got last month! How do you like the toothpaste? I'd love to get it for the upcoming holiday parties and all the red wine i'll be drinking!

I was one of the first 10k to get points during September when they had that promotion thing going on.  The box was alright.  I like the polish, The cologne's ok, the bracelet's cool, the LaRocca I'll probably never use because it's TOO shimmery, I HATED the Borghese mud mask...my face is STILL red from it, and..well..I still don't get why I got paper coasters.
 

For anyone curious: My beauty profile:

If I'm going to splurge on a product: Nail Polish

I signed up because: Samples

Beauty Styles: I actually clicked all of those, because it really depends.  This may soon change.

Hair: Dry, color-treated, thick

Skin: Dry

Skin Concerns: Sensitive(VERY), SPF
