where do you find the reference #?

I found it on the UPS tracking page.....it says Package ID and within that number there's a "bb" with a number after it. Mine was 25. Someone earlier said theirs was correct the last couple times, but I doubt that I would get the stainiac twice in a row.

Pretty sure it's a card with shadow samples.  The 2 boxes with that in it would be so unfair for everyone else if it were an actual palette.  

It's par for the course really, last month's bronzer was only 4 dollars less.

yep and its a 40.00 palette at that! Seeing as how the $36.00 bronzer was sent last month, its not too much of a stretch to think the palette could be sent out this month. Especially since only 2 or 3 boxes contain the item (according to the pictures)
I think those purple Stila cards are the sample cards where it has the pull off film and the shadow under it?? Sephora had them as a sample recently..

That is possible too ! we will know in a day or so

Thats what made me think its the actual palette. If its a card, it looks just like the palette would. I havent seen the card, so I cant compare the 2.

Birchbox doesn't seemed to be concerned with fairness.

The Stila shadow is a card sample - again. I actually did use mine and got three full uses out of it but because of how cheap Stila is I won't be buying that shadow set.

 

[MissLindaJean]

Does the "fairness" matter if they're products you won't use? There were lots of porcelain beauties who didn't even want the Stila Bronzer last month and got one, probably as many who griped they didn't get it. There are a lot of factors that people get upset about concerning the boxes every month.... # of items sent/received, monetary value, wrong coloring/shade options, lack of profile consideration.. I think there's too many of us to please with BB and it's always going to be a crapshoot. We're gambling $10 x however many accounts and can really only HOPE we all get items we want to use.

 

[zadidoll]

I think fairness has to do with whether or not a person ends up buying the sample. I know I won't buy the product if I get a full size sample - except the Laura Geller blush because I loved it and wanted a different color (which I've only used a handful of time because I'm STILL using the one I got in my July box last year). I won't buy products if the sample was tiny or cheap (the Stila smokey card for example). For me to get me to spend my money after trying a sample is if the sample was of fair value - something not tiny or one-time use - because I'm going to want it - case in point the Benefit theBalm tint from last month - perfect size, not too small, not too big now I have to have all three colors.

Let's just put it this way, I'm weird, and I know what I like and what compels me to spend my money (or points). lol

After seeing the box pictures I am so excited!! I hope I get one with a Laura Gellar lipstick in it! 

By the way, who cares if some of the things are repeats?? If you haven't gotten it yet WHo CARES!!! So much freaking complaining... AHHHHH!!!

 

[Ineri218]

woo-hoo. Just received my box. It is # 11
 

 

[allthingsaimee]

I guess you all are right about the fairness thing, but those 2 boxes already have a decent dollar value without a full size palette.  IDK.   /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  Oh, and I just saw my reference # in my shipping info.  there IS a "bb" in the number and the next two numbers after the "bb" are 24.  Could mean I'm getting box 24, which is one of the boxes I on the list of 8 I though I had a chance of getting based on Zadi's July sneak peek!  Super excited if it's right!

When i first learned about the monthly subscriptions for makeup i was team my glam, after the first urban decay stuff (XD) now i prefer birchbox because id rather buy the less expensive lipstick and get the more expensive one, if that makes any sense. And the whole brush thing was a good idea, but personally id rather get a pair of head phones then brushes, because i think i have just a good amount! Im probably the only one that thinks this! Also i like the idea of wondering what box youll be getting, etc.

Awesome box! I really want to try that eau flirt! What color eyeliner and nail polish did you get?

 

[Missglammygirl]

 I dont think that the coloring is the same for the lettering. 

 is an image of the sample card from a seller on ebay. so my guess is the card.
I really want box # 2, or really anyone with the lipgloss in it, as for the boxes with the palette/ card,

 

[MissLindaJean]

I agree in regards to having our own tastes and things that compel us to purchase products after sampling. It's all individual taste when it comes to purchasing these items. You're not going to be compelled to buy the Bronzer if they send you a full one. I like Stila lippies, so if I get one, awesome and it'll get added to my collection. I almost broke down and ordered the Eyeko Skinny Liner, but held off and am hoping to get one this month..Same with the Amika Obliphica items. I'm never jelly that someone got a box with a "big full sized item;" I'm only drooling with envy when someone gets a product I hoped to try. So I try to swap and sample it that way; if I like it, goes on my wishlist and buy list. If not...oh well. I can say I tried and am ready to move on to the next thing.

But, in regards to the Stila Bronzer...they sent out emails today about a Stila bronzer and two other item set being 50% off retail on their website...think it's marked down to $40 and you get a sparkle liquid liner and lippie??? Can't remember, deleted the email, since I'm trying to tighten my purse strings and I already have each product advertised lol.

Mine also says "25" after the BB and so does my friend's. I don't generally get all the subscription box complaining, but she and I have only been subcribing since May, and it would really tick me off if I got the stainiac again. No need for a repeat for us this early in the game.
