Also, my husband said soemthing from birchbox arrived today (I have everything delivered to his office since I can't have it delivered to mine) and I don't think it's my box because that's still in transit.  I've been a member for over a year and am wondering if maybe it's that key chain thing?  For those who got it already, did the key chain come separately or in your box?

It could still be your box! Mine isn't due to arrive for another two days.. but I got it today!

 

[Expatrica]

Interesting!  I just looked and I haven't gotten anything in any of those either.  Hmmmmmm.

Which box and what was the weight? 

 

[MissLindaJean]

It looks like every box this month has at least 5 items, even with the  "lifestyle extras"....So it should leave everyone with 4 beauty related products to test/review...

That is kind of crazy- I haven't received any of those boxes either. Those were the ones I had narrowed it down to. Wonder if we have been getting the same boxes?

They are probably waiting until a safe window when a majority has received their box, not just the first wave of people.  I'm sure it was a deliberate decision, and wouldn't be surprised if it was made under pressure from the companies who are receiving feedback.  They can't pinpoint when each individual gets a box.

Did anyone figure out the box weight of #2?

you must live near me. mine arrived in Durham today, too. Crossing fingers for a package tomorrow!

(my weight was .4530 - hoping for box 3, and I think I might actually get it)

Me too! Yay NC!

Wow, that seems really heavy compared to the other box weights, especially if the Stila isn't a palette.

What made it so heavy? The shampoo?

Yep.  The mints and nail polish are relatively heavy, too.

Also, it was never Birchbox's intention to allow people to see what they were receiving before their box arrived. The whole point is that you receive a surprise box of beauty samples in the mail and then go online and review them. The "methods" that we have been using in the past months have all been loopholes in the system so to speak and it's Birchbox's prerogative if they want to close those loopholes so that the original intention of a surprise box is preserved.

*high 5*

I wonder if all of NC goes through the same Durham center. I'm in the Greensboro area, so I guess it's reasonably close now.

That's actually a good point. While we love cheating and looking at spoilers, it has a negative effect for when we turn into green eyed box envy girls lol. People can get peeved, but the whole point of their company was and still is to send us beauty samples to test/review...yet now we get upset before even having the boxes in our hands! If I have to wait every month to see what I'm getting, that's going to be a bummer...but I can live with it. I've been overall satisfied with all my BB's and also have made good use of regifting/trading items. I'm still mooney eyed and think BB can do no wrong lol.. Any time there has been an issue, they've addressed my concerns and taken care of it!

 

[CourtneyB]

I'm also a NCer...mine went through Durham, and the other one is there currently. Of course, I'm only about 20-30 mins away from Durham, tee hee.

Also, I am loving the gloss moderne high-gloss masque right now! I haven't even washed it out yet, but the smell is amazing. I might need to acquire more in trades! XD

And I am near Asheville. It will probably take another day for me. Who knows. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

put hair as your splurge in your profile and maybe it'll stop. i put perfume as my splurge and i finally got a perfume-free box this month.

Just received my box in the mail! Not sure what box # it is but it was .6

So excited I got the beauty blender because the very first box I got (the gg one) had the cleanser and I pissed lolI already tried the jouer from requesting samples but i'm happy to see that birchbox included my right shade which is bronze. Maybe they DO take your profile in account?And also, does anyone else think the hello perfume smells exactly like viva la juicy by juicy couture or is that just me? lol

Definitely happy with my box /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[MissLindaJean]

I adore hair products!!! And facial masks lol...I think I like anything that I can put on and just sit and relax for a few minutes with!

 

[MissLindaJean]

Lol...I kept clicking the spoiler things and was like...Where is it???? I think that's box 2 - only one with the beauty blender!! Way cool..

So im thinking the glosses people are getting is a collection. if you look at the tiki set, there is supposed to be a link to a set called its go time. and as for the colors, I know from watching youtube there is lights, a lighter pink, camera, a darker pink.
