Birchbox November 2012 - Page 53

« Back to Group Discussions

Got my box yesterday, #13.  I'm happy, no complaints!

I'm starting to get twitchy with no page update.  I have a week to use my anniversary code which kind of annoys me just because I probably won't have my box to try products/make sure I don't end up buying duplicates.

So I just got an email from Sephora about new sample packs and I noticed another 'pill' sample of a Perfeckt product...for a foundation gel.  At least with lips you could probably get a full application, I really hope we don't see it in our BB a few months down the road.

 try calling customer service. they let me know what i was getting in my box this month. 

I'm getting box 9! BB finally emailed me back and changed my box. They said it wasn't changed because they don't want to spoil the surprise before it ships (Loren said it should ship by Friday). I'm excited about this box!

I feel like BB hit it out of the park with my box this month between the One Love Neroli and the MCMC Phoenix scent (which also contains neroli).

I got the One Love Organics in Neroli as well...it's pretty amazing! And no leaking! I'm a big fan of anything orange scented, so it's the one I was hoping for. I wouldn't have minded the lavender at all, though. The Phoenix scent to me is very very gardenia, which I just don't like at all. But I'm so happy with the OLO and Stila, that my box is a giant hit for me. 

After two emails and a phone call I got a *sorta* resolution with my whole missing mascara fiasco.

I was told they didn't have any replacements of that sample so she just gave me 100 points instead. I don't understand the whole not having a replacement because they sell the mascara in their shop?!

I was really looking forward to the mascara, and you can see by my box weight (.38) that something was missing. While the 100 points covers the price of my box it doesnt equal the $24.00 mascara that I missed out on because they screwed up.  I'm usually always happy with my Birchboxes even when they are a dud and I spend money in the shop regularly, so needless to say I feel pretty upset.

My main BB still hasn't updated. It still shows October's box w/no shipping info. :-( 

I did however add an account last month and I received that box today. I got Box 3.

Overall I'm pretty happy. Looking forward to trying the skin transformer. I actually have the Oscar Blandi spray in full size from the Allure Beauty Box and I love it. Not sure about the pink color of the Stila luminizer. I have medium/olive skintone so I don't know how it will look on me.

Great box - this is what I am getting.  How is the perfume?

the perfume is a little strong for my taste but it's very rare that I like any perfume. Unfortunately most of them give me a headache.

I got my 2nd box today! The mascara and Caldrea are repeats from my 1st box, so I will have to gift the mascara (or keep it because it's awesome) but luckily I got two different scents of the Caldrea than the two I got in my 1st box. I'm so excited to get the rose gold Color Club because I got the blue one (which I also love) when they gave them out last time. I gave the cologne to my boyfriend, but we're both sick and can't smell anything at the moment so I'm not sure how that is lol. The hair masque packets are HUGE for me since it doesn't take a lot of product to cover my hair, but there are no instructions so I'll have to check the website.

Got my box today. (3 days earlier than projected)

My Stila is pink shimmer. Looks pretty with my skin color!

Needed new mascara, so yay!

Curly hair product for chick with curly hair? Um, yes please.

Going to gift the Jouer perfume as it is not my type, but I know my mom will love it as a stocking stuffer.

 

 

i got that purple and white thing in my curlbox in september or october.

I like the Neroli but will be trading the Rose....something about rose scents smelling like Body Odor to me 

I gave in and tried the mascara today even though I have 2 or 3 opened tubes already and WOW. I have short lashes and it added a crazy amount of length to them! They were actually brushing up against my glasses and didn't clump at all. It was only a little strange to me because I have thick lashes and the mascara made them look wispy and thin, but it still looked natural.

I know, right!? I love it so much. I actually got 2 of them. I have an extra to trade if anyone's interested :)

Yep, that's what they said about my cupcake and I was like ??? but you're selling the cupcake. At least the cupcake is only $10.50 and so the $10 sort of recoups it, and you can other things you want.

): I'm sorry about your mascara.

I would love to trade! I am getting Box 3 if you're interested in any of items. I already have the Miracle Skin Transformer reserved for another trade.

How big is the Skin Transformer?

To those of you who have tried the Jouer moisturizing gloss and the Naked princess gloss which would you recommend? :) I can't decide which one to get!

 I got the rose gold polish the last time. It is really, really pretty on, and very durable.  I wore it for close to a week with no chips.  I work in healthcare so I wash my hands about 30 times a day, and polish never lasts that long on me.  I finally changed my polish just because I was getting tired of looking at it!

I have 2 Birchbox subs and neither one has updated yet.  I called yesterday and was told by the end of the week, and the women I spoke to didn't want to "spoil my surprise" and tell me whats in the box!   I just want my boxes to update. 

if anyone has an OLO sample they'd be willing to trade let me know :)
