I do agree that the chocolate on the Lays is very very tasty! I think my store still has a ton left. ...I might need to secretly stock up and hide them so no one in my house knows.
You can make it at home too! One of my family's favorite holiday treats is to make this chip candy. 

We use 1 bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 bag of butterscotch melted together and then mix in crushed chips and peanuts. Make little stacks on parchment paper and stick in the freezer for a few minutes. So yummy. 

 
I got the best "Pick 2" with my order today! I never expect anything amazing, but I got the Ruffian Polish in Fox Hunt and Delirium! I already had Hedge Fund from my September box...how frickin' awesome! I have way more faith in BB now that I resubbed. 

 
Anybody else notice that now some Pick 2's have 2 samples that are definitely deluxe, instead of 1 regular sample and 1 deluxe as it's advertised, while others continue to get 2 foils? The Pick 2's that actually contain 1 regular and 1 deluxe aren't so elusive anymore, but why send 2 deluxe in 1 pack and the next 1 gets couple of foils?

I agree it's the best Pick 2 ever. I have Hedge Fund and Fox Hunt and they are awesome. I'm thinking of just buying a pick 2 for $10 on the off chance it has nail polish.

Ahhhhh! But what if it doesn't and you get stuck with a bunch of tan towels?? I would spend the $10 on the thing that you actually want so it's guaranteed, or, better yet, use  points!

That's true. I'm waiting until December 2nd to order from the Birchbox shop. But tan towels trade pretty well on MUT. Lol

Yeah, it is really strange.  Whoever packs them needs a little more guidance on the combinations, in my opinion.

She could always return it!  (That said, I don't tan and I thought I would hate the Tan Towel when I received it in my box, but I actually liked it!)

I ordered myself a gift sub last night before the 100 points back code expired.  I figure it is basically free after using $10 in points, getting $10 in points back, and the ~150 points I will get from the boxes...plus all the samples. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  I got the Beauty Protector shampoo and conditioner in my November box and really liked them, so I am hoping to get one of the welcome boxes we've seen with them in it.  Yay!

I don't think the Pick 2's are meant to be equal in value, most of the "mystery pack" type things are a gamble -- some are awesome, and some are just whatever.  With that said, if they promise at least one deluxe sample, then they need to be held to that.  I think part of the problem is the line between regular sample and deluxe sample is murky... but 2 foils is not okay IMO.

Awww! My 13 month was just a little while ago, and I have been patiently waiting for the keychain. Boogers.

Lucky duck.

Ah well, it wasn't meant to be for me.  No biggie.  

 
Any rumors out there regarding if BB is planning a good promo for Black Friday/Cyber Monday? I have 700 points burning a hole in my pocket!

 
So jealous of the awesome Pick 2 packs some people are getting! Got mine today, and it's foils foils foils. Specifically two of the foot wipes (which I luckily managed to avoid when they were sent out a few months ago), and three tiny foils of GlamNatural cream blush. I'm actually excited to try the blush, but two of the shades they sent seem way too dark, so usage-wise, I'm looking at one foil of cream blush and two foot wipes. Not great, and definitely not a $10 value.

I received the cream blush in my box and at first I thought I would only be able to use the lightest shade, but I was actually able to use two of the shades. I really liked the cream blush, I would buy it.

For what it's worth, I thought those foot wipes were gonna majorly suck. Turns out, on the package, it says they're for your hands, too. So I tossed them in my purse and they came in handy! And I loved the "coolness" on my hands after I used them! I got my pick two today and it was a ruffian polish in hedge fund and Dr. Jart BB cream. Both of which I've already received. Overall, though, it was a good pick 2.

Nice, I totally didn't think of using the wipes for my hands! And it's good to hear that the blush is high-quality! Feeling a bit better about my samples now :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
So I got my welcome box for my second sub and it had the bain de terre shampoo and conditioner, stainiac (repeat), the goop stuff and evologie. The conditioner leaked and covered everything though so I e-mailed them and it looks like they're sending me another box. The preview finally loaded and the e-mail said the box contents might be different than the preview, but I hope I get the box in the preview because it would have the beauty protector shampoo/conditioner, the chuao chocolates, the eyeko and the folle de joie. That would be awesome!

 
I got the best "Pick 2" with my order today! I never expect anything amazing, but I got the Ruffian Polish in Fox Hunt and Delirium! I already had Hedge Fund from my September box...how frickin' awesome! I have way more faith in BB now that I resubbed.

Womp, womp.. I got a pick 2 today and Recieved Fox Hunt and Hedge Fund.. Sad for me, I recieved two Hedge Funds last month. Fox Hunt looks too orange for my cool toned skin... So, awesome pick two, just not good for me. I need to trade them!
