I agree!

Oh yeah, Stainiac was not nice on my lips, and I didn't particularly like it on my cheeks either.  I haven't tried Benetint, but I think I just don't like that type of product.

Thanks ladies! I may give it a try on my cheeks. If I don't like it I will pass it to my daughter to play with on the weekend.

Is it just me, or does it seem that a lot of boxes are repeats of each other? In particular a combo of the pop gloss, the liz earle cleansing set, the fake up, and the chapstick. Or am I going nuts?

I've messed with the staniac and I have the benetint- I like both, but I also have benefit's cha cha tint, and I love that stuff.. it's my go-to "stay on for the rest of the night" type deal if I know I'm going to be drinking/eating.. it has staying power, a lovely color, and stains nothing except my lips!

I commented on this the other day.  I'm thinking it's a reflection of the different shades of the Fakeup to make sure (at least theoretically) that the correct shade gets sent out.  Three shades, three box variations.

How do I see which box I am getting this month?

they haven't been updated yet! your profile will show on the 10th if you click on the "box" tab, and then click "women"

So I don't know if this has been mentioned (I skipped a few pages) but Birchbox France got Laura Mercier samples!

 

[IMDawnP]

I just logged in to my account to look something up and saw the words ... Your October Products so I closed out the tab because I do not peek. As much as I love to follow the thread before and right up to the boxes arriving I don't actually want to know what's in my box until I open it. I never log on after the 9th because I know the site updates on the 10th.  Did anyone else see this ?

 

[kawaiimeows]

Seeing pictures of the Liz Earle sample with the packaging open on Instagram really make me want it! Definitely looks like a nice size sample (fingers crossed that my box weight is big enough to get it).

 

[lunadust]

My box (15) weight  was .62

Thank you! Says my box has shipped but no info is available yet!

 

[casey anne]

I already got two full size liz earle cleansing polish + two cloths in a beautylish gift bag I got after visiting their office like two years ago. I already used one up, but between now and then I have moved three times and my boyfriend three times, and I lost the muslin :/ glad to see it in the shop as a small free shipping item.

How did you like the Liz Earle cleanser?

 

[barbyechick]

I noticed a lot of the boxes with the Liz Earle polish still had 4 items listed and that someone earlier said it was considered two products, if that is how they're going to do it (I hope not bc there are some realllyyyy good 6 item boxes) how do you review the cloth and the polish separately? Right now it looks like it counts as the same review

Wow looking at some of the #birchbox instagrams and the French boxes are coming up... Seems like they all got at least 7 GREAT products, whereas some of our boxes contain only 4 (including the chapstick) (counting the liz earle items as one product).  Does anyone know if they pay more??  Because the quality difference is seriously insane

They do look fantastic!  I believe that they are 10€

 

[misslaurelann]

I really really hope I don't get whatever that Pillow Soft Curl thing is. My hair is chemically straightened and I can't use products like that on my hair, nor would I want to...hence the chemically straightening my hair to remove every ounce of curl from it.

They definitely pay more.  France and Spain pay 10 euro, which is a slightly less than $14 depending on the day, and UK pays 10 pounds which is about $16.
