(Spoilers) Birchbox October 2013

I finally got that sample but haven't tried it yet.. Is the little tub a one time use? I'm guessing so.. Just wondering if I pop half of it in the fridge if it will stay good. I want to try something more than once before I buy it.

I think you could easily get 2-3 uses out of the pod! I just stuck some foil over the top of mine and popped it in a mini ziplock to keep it fresh!

tracking # but no weight! lets see how this goes since I totally revamped my profile after a few "underwhelming" months.

Mandy Kane · Oct 7, 2013

yippee! Tracking updated again today and it's already only a state away, but at a different location than normal. Must have taken a different route this time.

Normally when it gets to Illinois it hit a USPS hub right away and then next day I get it.

This time it's in IL but not yet at the USPS location. Maybe wednesday I'll get it? EXCITED!

Today my first account has a clicky truck too! The weight is 0.4950 with an estimated delivery date of October 12!

QueenJane · Oct 7, 2013

Clicky trucks for both!

Sub1 has a weight of .4950 with a delivery date of 10/11 (but it is already in IL!!)

Sub2 has a weight of .5000 with a delivery date of 10/12

Please please please let them be different boxes! Last month the weights were off by the same amount but ended up being duplicates!

Any chapstick could be used as a primer, really, right?

I am still kind of excited to get it, especially since EVERYONE is getting one. I like getting to test out a product with so many people at once, and if it counts as a freebie, even better!
Exactly...and it's Vanilla CrÃ¨me flavored. that's a win in my book

Yay, a moving box (that initiated yesterday) on one account and nothing on the second! This actually makes me happy because nothing -- not even a clicky truck with no active packing -- on the other account means the chances of having two different boxes increases dramatically.

And box weight: 0.62. I had a 0.74 box one time, and it had a spray-in leave-in hair conditioner and a facial mist. My first thought on this one is that it's a tube of shampoo (I just finished a Nick Chavez Volumizing shampoo tube that they sent out a while back and that I received in a trade, so that sort of size/packaging is on my mind). They did just add a bunch of Bain de Terre haircare. I just hope that if it *is* hair stuff, I don't get styling product. The closest I can deal with to that sort of thing is Fekkai Glossing cream. It's not a hold product. That's my big issue: Hold product = sticky. I don't like sea salt spray, either, for the same reason.

This is my box weight too. My heavier boxes in the past have included hair sprays and full size face toners to who knows?
Can't wait for pages to load!

cari12 · Oct 7, 2013

No tracking on either account yet, hoping at least one will update today

/emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> My heaviest box to date was the one with the Davines shampoo in it I think.

kellsbells · Oct 7, 2013

* 12 Benefits instant healthy hair treatment * Dr. Brandt Microdermabrasion skin exfoliant-good size! .25oz *the chapstick of course * dr. Brandt Light years away whitening cream cleanser-two foil packets *Stainiac cheek & lip stain in Beauty queen? -i'm gonna be trading this if anyone wants it! Overall, not bad!
OMG! Just got my box! This is the earliest ever for me. Weight was .4990. Sorry i couldnt post a pic but i listed everything

Lanai12 · Oct 7, 2013

Clicky truck with a weight of .5150 and delivery of 10/12 but I usually get it a day or two before the estimate. I hope they start loading the pages tomorrow.

My box is 0.6200 and will be here TOMORROW ! ! This is my favorite, when the box pages have started updating so I can still oggle all the options before my box gets here, but it arrives before the tenth because I ALWAYS peek.

plumplant · Oct 7, 2013

Anyone notice that ALOT of the October boxes only have 4 products? I thought the Chapstick was supposed to be a "beauty find" bonus item that didn't replace any samples, but if that were true wouldn't all the boxes have at least 5 items? Would rather not get the Chapstick tbh

Theyre not completely updated yet.

thebeverley3 · Oct 7, 2013

Weight of .5950 will be here on 10/12. Second account has no clicky truck. Hopefully will be completely different!!!

I'm sure they're not done updating yet but i got my box and it indeed only had four items with the chapstick being the fith. Would rather not get the Chapstick tbh

luckyme502 · Oct 7, 2013

I would rather not get the chapstick either. I don't like chapstick and I hate vanilla flavored or scented anything!

kellsbells · Oct 7, 2013

oops... didnt mean to put my comment smack in the middle of plumplants quote! sorry! writing on a tablet is not easy for me
