It looks like its saying that on all of the boxes for me right now. Unless you're referring to something different.

It's just you.  They're only in a third of the boxes.   :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  I just went through and counted how many boxes I can get once the Stainiac boxes -- and only the Stainiac boxes -- are eliminated.  I did *not* eliminate the Ruffian boxes because of what happened with the Color Club Wanderlust collection:  They sent second bottles in different colors to people who had nail polish marked as an interest. Of course, I had already traded for the color that they sent me the second time!
Can't they do that with the Stainiac though? I rec'd one in my box last July in Beauty Queen. It was too dark but I loved the application so I bought Prom Queen. If I do get it please let it be Homecoming Queen!

eta: or this dang this one looks nice https://www.birchbox.com/shop/birchbox-1/october-2013/october-2013-bb18

i'm just excited about all the different skin care products

I was just checking the boxes and jotting down my faves and I also would love 10 or 18!!!!

I haven't received an e-mail but I just checked and my truck is clickable. I was looking for my e-mail notification for last month and see that I just never got one. That's the first time that ever happened to me. I hope this isn't going to continue.

On the box it says .01oz when I open it, looks like only a nub. :-/

Oh that's pretty disappointing

They could, but I got the impression that they were just sending out the one shade they already sent out.
 
My box contents updated.  I'm getting several skin products and a conditioner.  I am not unhappy as I need more skin samples, but I have fine hair and I always get hair samples made for dry or damaged hair.

Me too.....

I hope to get either the Floss Gloss nail polish or the Benefit Fakeup!  I'd be happy with any of the skin care products also.

 
I'm thinking maybe 20 and 26 for me. Yes, I would like a Fakeup and a Liz Earle, like everyone else, but I also want a Karuna mask (love paper face masks after trying them recently!) and either the Reality Based Foundation or the Dermablend Foundation. Box 21 with the eye cream would be good as well.

I actually reactivated my 3rd subscription because there seemed to be soooo many good things this month (unlike last month). Seems like box 18 would be good for my 3rd sub, so I tried to target it, but I forget what is in it, lol. Still, if between all my boxes I get 2 or 3 of these things at the top of my wishlist and avoid anything horrible, I think I'll be happy.

The good news is, for once, I should not get several boxes on my 2 main accounts thanks to the Stainiac. I think this is the first time I was able to rule out any box due to dupes. Oh well. Fingers crossed. If I don't get the foundation in any of the 3 boxes, I won't buy it as I have plenty already. I just like to try new ones for fun. I'd consider buying the Fakeup, but I feel very bad about ordering Benefit since I found out they sell in China (which means animal testing). So, getting it free would be great, but ordering it makes me feel less than an inch tall. The only things I think I *might* buy if I don't get them are the Liz Earle and the masks. But getting to try them first would be so much better than buying on faith they will be great.

One thing is for sure--I'm actually excited for my BB--probably moreso than ever!

I agree! for some reason this month I'm finding a lot of different combinations I'd love to get.

 
*ENABLER ALERT*

If anyone remembers SW Basics lip balm that was featured in Birchbox awhile ago, for the month of October their lip balms are only $1!

*EDIT*

Just tried to check out and shipping is UPS Ground for $10.60.   No thank you!
