Birchbox October 2014 Sample Pick Spoilers!

I was thinking about the Mally lip gloss but that was sold out. The best choice is usually sold out. I was not excited about the Modelco lipstick color or another eyeliner pencil so to my surprise they had the Laggies guest editor box available so I chose that one. The only item I am not too excited about is the Tocca hand cream since the smell is very odd but it is suppose to be luxury hand cream so maybe I’m just not use to luxury smells, LOL everything else in the box looks great so I am excited to get that box next month.

The email about the BB Plus candle/cuff was a few days ago. I chose one candle, just to see.

For the October choice I went with the curated box on my Ace account (yesterday) and planned on the Mally today on my other account… but it was sold out. Not too bummed – I have sooo many glosses – but I will be if I get the eyeliner!

I got the email to choose the candle or bracelet two days ago?? I did not pick it though as tempting as they both were. I love candles and the bracelet being a BB exclusive and is beautiful! I just got the email to pick my sample at 12:08 and did not check my email until 12:30 and both Mally was sold out. I wanted the lighter pink. I am still not disappointed because I picked the Laggies Editor choice. I have been wanting to try Beauty Protector and the Vasanti. Plus I love hand cream and the model co mascara looks fantastic. I am happy about the perfume looks like a good size roller ball and the packaging is super cute! 🙂

I am very pleased with my choice! Great brands and my style products. I do not prefer so much hair care and I do like sprays for protecting the hair so have been wanting to try this. I am just happy this is the first month I got to choose without everything being sold out. I can’t wait to become an ace. I am 60% there!

I just got the email to pick my October sample and I picked the Mally liquid lipstick in petal to the metal, hopefully I love it. I already have one Mally liquid lipstick. I was super sad the candles were already sold out, I did get the cuff though I think it’s super cute. I pray it fits, I can’t wait for October’s Birchbox!! I wonder what they’re going to be doing with the book club? I love Gillian Flynn’s books.

Does anyone know if you can use points to buy birchbox plus items? It seems like you cannot but I just wanted to check.

My email arrived only a few minutes ago. I was looking forward to ordering the candle! I’m thinking that I may use my points to buy the Snowball candle which has a nice winter scent to it. I would pick the cuff, but I have muscular arms. I don’t know if the cuff will fit. The ones from Cate and Chloe barely fit.

Super mad about the candles being sold out before I even got the email and I am an ace.

I just got the email from Birchbox at 10:30 this morning, when I clicked on it 5 minutes later I was told the candles are all sold out!

I have never done a Birchbox “Plus”…. but I decided this month to go for the candle because it’s fun to get a toy surprise inside 🙂

Their “double points!” hook almost got me to order two candles, and then I did the math. Spend $18 more and get $1.80 worth of store credit. Not worth it, to me, unless you want to stock up on candles or bracelets as gifts…

I received a modelco lipstick In my box before and the lipstick was broken off from the tube. Not sure if it was the heat or something. I would have contacted them about a replacement but it was that hot pink color so I didn’t really want it anyway.

I do like the lip gloss shades, and generally love getting glosses in sub boxes BUT I kind of am wanting to take my chances. I also am loving BB so much since I signed up in August, it might be worth it to get a second box at this point…hmmmmmmm

I’m thinking about going with ModelCo after reading that the Mally is sticky unless there is going to be a themed box. My sister and I both selected samples for the September box. My box arrived on the 12th and her box arrived a few days before that. I’m thinking about ordering the add-ons.

I love Mally products and it is rare to receive in sub boxes like the other two not so rare. The model co lipstick has been seen in sub boxes but I do not have it yet. I think boxycharm had the lipstick in there box a few months before I subbed. It is also in the shop you can purchase using points. The Lord and Berry I received a tiny sample through ipsy.

I would be debating between the lipstick and lip gloss but I’m pretty sure I’ll go with Mally since I’ve been dying to get something from her in sub boxes.

I have seen the Mally item or similar lip gloss in New Beauty Test Tube. I’ll brobably go witg Mally allthough I’m in lipgloss overload right now!!!! 🙂

If the sample does not sell out and I’m able to choose. Now seeing the model co I’m kinda wishing I had two accounts and it’s tempting to make another one BUT by the time I’m able to choose and have the money for another, the samples will be sold out. I can always save up and buy one later. 😉

I don’t like any of these choices. The lippes aren’t colors I wear, and I have enough eye liner to last me for life.

Hopefully the 5th choice, the box of the month, is awesome. Or else I’m just gonna let Birchbox pick for me.

I’m excited that there is a sample that I want to try in the October box! Last month I was not interested in any of the samples. I’m going to pick the lipstick. The dusty rose shade looks very wearable, and it gets good reviews. I’m picky about lip glosses, and this one doesn’t look like it has a good formula. The eyeliner is cool, but the sample is so small that I’m not inclined to pick it. I wouldn’t assume that any of the samples are full size until they’re received- I’ve seen it go both ways.

I have not received my September box yet, but I have mixed feelings about it. Three items to trade: black eyeliner (I have plenty), more Whish shaving cream (I don’t like the scent), and a Dr. Brandt sample of the vacuum cleaner (the formula is irritating because of the high alcohol content- not for me). On the other hand, I’m really excited about the Juara Candlenut Body Crème and the chapstick, and I’ll at least try the Caudalie Serum. I just wish the Body Crème was coming in better packaging. I also like having six samples to review; I’m getting close to having enough points to get one of their expensive hair dryers.

Ooh, I want both of the lip products! It might be time for a second BB account…

I’ve yet to be able to pick my choice yet, and my boxes haven’t been all that great. I would have loved to receive the double ended lip balm.

I never get an email to pick samples? Is this some kind of glitch or is this for only certain subscribers?

Wow, I REALLY dislike those three choices, and eyeliner and lip products are my favorite things. The lip colors are practically neon and the eyeliner is glittery. I’m not a teenager! You all should be aware that Mally glosses are very sticky and don’t have any staying power. Very thick and saturated colors.

Oooh I only want one of those (unlike last month when I wanted ALL the choices! haha)…the Mally. So I’ll pick that one with my Aces account and then I guess pick nothing with my other account…

I think you’ve linked to the wrong ModelCO lipstick.
Here’s “Kitty” (much better color, imho): http://www.modelcocosmetics.com/shop/party-proof-lipstick-kitty-unboxed

These are always tempting, but I’ve noticed if you don’t see a choice you like and end up not picking one, you’ll get your box much earlier and they usually include a full size, deluxe, or pretty useful item instead. For September, it seems like everyone who didn’t choose a sample got that double sided Chapstick. Not necessarily exciting, but I use it everyday now.

Are there 3 or 4 samples to pick from?

The lip colors just don’t suit me, so I will go for the eyeliner. I already have several eyeliners but at least I know I will use it.

The lipgloss it sounds awesome I’ve never had one that isn’t sticky and stays on if I can’t get it I’ll just be surprised
