Birchbox: December 2012 - Page 45

« Back to Group Discussions

I'm getting Box #21 I think.

I have a full-size Mary Lou Manizer - so if anyone wants the sample one from this month's Birchbox PM me your trade list.  I can never (easily) find stuff on the big trade forum...

I'd love to test drive the Benefit eye cream...and could add some other stuff to sweeten the deal.  Let me know!

I will be getting box 25

That's what Birchbox is supposed to be about anyway.. trying things you wouldn't ordinarily pick up. When I opened my samples I noticed that I also had the giant finger print in the middle of my Hot Mama. Not only that, but it also looks like someone swirled their finger around in the Mox Botanicals jar and left some dirt while there. Not cool Birchbox.

My Hot Mama was like that too, but I remember seeing EVERYONE complaining about that last month people with their Lou-Mainzer and it actually had something to do with the magnet from the case it comes it

This might be slightly off topic and I'm guessing there's a thread around here somewhere that I just haven't found yet but I just discovered birchbox and now I'm seeing everyone talking about all of these other sub programs. I've googled some but I would love to read a customer's (or multiple) customer's comparing the services side by side (what kind of products, do other ones have a shop or offer discounts, ect.). Could anyone direct me here?

I'm having a lot of fun with birchbox but I wouldn't mind learning about others esp. because Moroccan Oil is the number one hair product I can't live without and BB doesn't carry it in the shop- if there was a way I could get points for it since it's kind of pricey that would be awesome.

Hi Legalista, try this thread:

http://www.makeuptalk.com/t/123554/what-companies-do-you-subscribe-to

I got a lot of good ideas from this one! It has a lot of information on what's available and details like coupon codes and whether you can skip a month.  Hope it's helpful!

I would have loved box 17 or 23.  Instead I'm getting box 12.  I really hope this is the last tea I'll be seeing from Birchbox because really the ONLY tea I want is ordinary, sweet ICED tea with lemon.  McDs tea beats this stuff they are sending me.  Out of my five boxes, two have had tea.  I really don't like fancy teas.  It won't go to waste, because my Husband will drink it but I really would have liked to have gotten a chocolate snack like so many other boxes this month have.

At least I'm really enjoying my ipsy, which to my surprise it has arrived today!  My second ipsy, and I am beyond pleased with both so far.  And out of five BB boxes, I've only really liked one of them.  So those who aren't too pleased with BB lately and haven't yet tried ipsy, I do recommend them!

Barf.  I'm getting Box #26 which suuuuuuuucks.

Samesies. Sigh. First world problems. :/

Ugh disappointed with my box this month once again. The only thing I'm looking forward to is another same of Mary Lou Manizer. Everything else is going up for trade. Blech.

LOL I've almost been tricked by the fake packaging, so I'm always lifting an eyebrow.  I'll definitely check it out.  I really love the way everything smells.  The first time I ever went to London the posh hotel I stayed in had Molton Brown, I ended up hoarding those little free bottles.  They discontinued the shampoo (I think it was Ylang Ylang) but whenever I smell something similar I get wistful.

I have a tracking number that doesn't work and it still shows November on my account. Ughhhh. At least I got my ipsy bag, influenster and curlkit today :)

Finally got a tracking number, but no other info.

me too maybe were getting the same box :)

Same for my sister and mother - they both just got a tracking number (one is updated-had shipped on the 8th, one is not) - neither of them have December pics yet, but hopefully sooooon.

I'm so excited!! I am finally getting a box that I love especially with seeing a very nice sample size of the Benefit its potent eye cream and Kerastase! Also a full size of the model co lip gloss! This is the box, its not up on the box list yet I think...

I feel glad now that I stayed with BB, I had three really great boxes so far after those lousy boxes.

Ugh, this is the first box I have recieved I hate. i will not use a SINGLE thing in it.

- Model Co lip gloss (full size, but I hate lip goop)

- Thymes body lotion foil packet

- Keratase foil packets of some sort of hair goop??? It doesn't say clearly

- Thymes body lotion..bottle? WTF? A foil packet AND a bottle of the same product???

That's my ideal box this month! Enjoy :)

I thought we were supposed to get a lipgloss as our December Birchbox exclusive sample, but my box doesn't look like it includes it. Has anyone gotten this?
