Am I the only one who still doesn’t know what is in my box? 🙁
I resubscribed on Oct 25 and made my sample choice, so I would have thought it would be showing by now! When I click on the “my box” tab it only shows me what I got in my last box. Grrrrrr…..

I used the chat option today to ask why I couldn’t see my preview, since boxes were supposed to start shipping yesterday I think. The guy said mine wasn’t up yet since it hasn’t shipped, and as soon as I finished chatting viola! There’s my samples in my account. I’ve never had an issue seeing them before.

same – birchbox has sent me junk – always hair packet samples, or broken eyeshadows and melted lip balm. I’m cancelling

Alanna

I’m getting the same box.

I’ve received the balm and beauty protector on my previous account and the sizes were so small, maybe two uses out of each.

I like the brands and these are things I actually would use, but I know what will set me up for disappointment will be the small sizes when I get them. Thank goodness my current account is a black friday gift sub that didn’t cost full prize and ends this month.

Good luck trying to cancel! I can’t find a spot too. Even though it says you can online.

You need to e-mail them. If they don’t respond, call your credit card company and tell them you have not authorized anymore charges from BB and that should take care of it.

haven’t seen my box combo posted yet, I am excited! Here’s what I am getting
* Oribe Gold Envy Luminous Face Mask
*Renee Furterer Lumicia Shampoo & Conditioner duo
* Jane Iredale just kissed lip & cheek stain
*Chella Eyebrown pencil (my choice)
*Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream skin protectant

Cant wait for it to get here! 🙂

I’m getting:
Coastal Scents® Blush & Bronzer Palette (my pick, the other two were out of stock but I didn’t want them anyway)
Balance Me Tinted Wonder Eye Cream (meh…I have an eye cream that I’ve been using for about two months and I love it enough that I’m considering the $70 splurge when it runs out)
R+Co DEATH VALLEY Dry Shampoo (Meh – I shaved my head most of the way recently so I have no real use for this….)
Supergoop!® Forever Young Hand Cream with Broad Spectrum Sunscreen SPF 40 – 10 oz. (what? do we really need spf in hand cream?)
Chella Eyebrow Pencil (I’m getting one from Ipsy too and I’m just as excited about that one…ie not at all. I don’t really do anything with my brows)

Overall I’m unimpressed. If December isn’t better I’m cancelling.

This is what I saw when I followed the link to my Novemeber box:
Coastal Scents Blush and Bronzer Palette
Jane Iredale Just kissed Lip and Cheek Stain (my choice)
R+Co Death Valley Dry Shampoo
Supergoop! Forever Young Hand Cream
Avene Soothing Moisture Mask (will that make me break out? I have oily skin)

But on my phone app it only showed:
English Laundry Signature for Her
So I’m guessing that’s just a small perfume sample they toss in?
Not bad, I’m looking forward to everything.

I’m actually pretty excited about my box.
I’m getting…
1. Number 4™ Fluoro5 Elixer Restore & Repair Oil (Never heard of it, but I love hair products, so I’ll at least try it)
2. Atelier Cologne Orange Sanguine Cologne Absolue – 30 ml (Its supposed to be a non perfume perfume, so that sounds promising. Sounds perfect for me)
3. Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish™ Hot Cloth Cleanser Starter Kit (would be great but has eucalyptus in it, don’t want to risk an allergic reaction)
4. jane iredale Just Kissed Lip and Cheek Stain (my choice)
5. Clinique Cream Shaper™ For Eyes (I’m actually really excited for another eyeliner)

I received my box today and got the same samples as you did. I’m so excited also! I will use all of them too. This is only my second box ever, and so far they are doing pretty good on matching the samples up to my profile. The cologne smelled a little too strong for me, but after putting some on, it really mellowed out and gives just a very nice slight orangey smell.

Same! I’m excited for everything too. Can’t wait to get my box!

I’ve have been getting Birchbox for 6 months. So many problems empty missing products missing boxes damaged boxes and promises never fulfilled with Birchbox customer service. My teen daughter’s subscription never had any of this issues. Hope this month they get it together! The link isn’t working for me. Hope I get the box I paid for!

I just finished a 1 year subscription and went in to repurchase an item from one of my boxes, which they always say are shipped free to you. And I guess because my sub ended I don’t get free shipping so I’ll need to add the $5 to my item..I’m bummed. I liked what I received and wanted more, which I thought was the goal for birch box but I’m not part of the “special club” as of this month so I don’t get any respect. I’ve got points sitting but don’t feel like I should have to pay the shipping when picking a box item, like everyone else. Just glad it’s over I guess, Nordstrom carries my item and gives great service and free shipping so I’ll gladly pick it up there instead.

I think the free shipping is offered on that month’s samples only. If it wasn’t sampled this month, no free shipping

I thought I was done with sea salt spray. Why Birchbox? Why?

I haven’t seen anyone post my variation yet. I’m receiving:

*Marcelle 3 in 1 Moisturizer
*Phyto Huile Soyeuse
*Vashanti Brighten Up! Enzymatic Face Rejuvinator
*The Balm Lip & Cheek Stain
*Atelier Orange Sanguine Cologne

I like that my box has a nice mix of products, but I absolutely hate the tiny perfume vials I always end up receiving. Fingers crossed that the size of the other samples make up for it!

I think that birchbox has started to customize the boxes more and I am really appreciating that. My box last month was a big miss but this one certainly redeems itself. The box i order from my mom is different than mine even though we got the same sample choice. Her box seems specific to her needs as does mine. Hmmmm, birchbox maybe i will stick around longer after all 😉

Mine won’t show what’s in the box. It’s just blank.

Mine only worked on my computer….anyways….I love my box!!! I am receiving the Jane Iredale, gimme brow, R& Co cleaning foam, Marcelle moisturizer and Juana body cream (that I could do without)!! I’m pretty happy overall!!

Mine too, I even tried on my computer and no luck.

It’s a mixed bag for me:
Marcelle 3-in-1 (I like other Marcela products – so I am willing to try this)
Ardency Inn Eyeliner (I like the company – don’t need another eyeliner)
Amika Dry Conditioner (a total miss as I wash my hair every day – even though I am not supposed to)
Jane Iredale Lip and Cheek – (am actually interested in trying this after being not excited about the choices)
Supergoop Hand Cream (the comments here have made me more interested in this).

Definitely not the worst box, but not one that will make me renew after my prepaid subscription is over.

This is what I’m getting, too. A boring end to my 2.5 year subscription.

I got the same box as you… It’s totally boring!! But, at least they are all “usable” right? !

Krista

Mine is terrible, UG.

Coastal Scents® Blush & Bronzer Palette (I find this brand to be cheap and junky)
Balance Me Tinted Wonder Eye Cream (I’ll at least try this but I’m not excited)
R+Co DEATH VALLEY Dry Shampoo (I’m actually out of dry shampoo so I’ll use it but it never excites me)
Supergoop!® Forever Young Hand Cream with Broad Spectrum Sunscreen SPF 40 – 10 oz. (BLAH)
Chella Eyebrow Pencil (my sample choice, and hoping it’s full size, so that might save the box for me)

I got a full size of the pillow spray as an add on so at least maybe that will make me happy when I open the box.

I didn’t choose a sample this month because I wasn’t excited for them. Took a gamble, and I’m happy with 3 out of 5, which isn’t so bad. This is only my third box, the first one was a total flop; October I went with curated and fell in LOVE with the Oribe dry shampoo and purchased the $44 full size (gulp)…this month we have:

Marcella 3 in 1 Moisturizer (yay! happy to try a new one)
Coastal Scents Bronzer (meh…will prob give to my 16 year old)
They’re Real Lash primer (meh…will try it but not excited about it)
Bumble & bumble Hairdressers Oil (YESSSS!! I’m obsessed with B&b – my hairdresser uses this on me – and I just ran out of my Moroccan oil, so this is absolutely perfect. Sooooo happy to get this!!! I’m addicted to hair products)
Dr. Brandt Exfoliator (yay! exited for this although afraid I’m going to fall in love and the full price bottle is pricey).

I’m thinking it’s time for me to cancel my ipsy and just stick with Birchbox, since the control freak in me LOVES the option of choosing a sample or the curated box. 🙂

Amber M

Marcelle New Age Lumi-Power 3-in-1 Moisturizer
Living Proof Full Thickening Cream
Coastal Scents Blush and Bronzer
Lavanila
Bobby Brown Smokey Eye Mascara
Not the most exciting box but I’ll probably use everything except the Lavanila. I’m not a big vanilla person. I’m assuming the coastal scents is the one from sample choice. I didn’t pick anything this time.

Sonya

I guess BB decided I needed to be moisturized all over the place!

Marcelle New-Age LumiPOWER 3-in-1 Moisturizer
Dr. Lipp Miracle Balm
Beauty Protector Protect & Oil
Chella Eyebrow Pencil (my choice)
NUXE Huile Prodigieuse® / Multi-Usage Dry Oil (50ml)

While I am sure all of these are very nice products I am certain they are and honestly I probably will end up using them. Still, this does feel very moisture heavy. Maybe BB has decided I am too old for fun stuff.

That is my box too and I gotta say, I’m a little disappointed – 2 moisturizers, 2 oils and my sample pick? I know I’ve been with BB a long time, but really? No other combination out there that wasn’t a repeat and still had my sample choice?

Reply ButtonReply

Lenya

This is my box, too, but I guess I’m a weirdo because I’m excited about it – that Nuxe oil smells amazing, and I always use the full sample of any beauty protector product they send. As for the lip and face moisturizers, well, it’s getting cold and dry here in Chicago and I want to try all the things!

I can’t get the link to work for me. I’m sad. It has always worked before. It looks like it should but where the products should be is just blank 🙁

Same here, mine won’t work anywhere besides my laptop.

I’m very happy with my box. Probably one of the best ones in awhile. I’m getting a variation that I haven’t seen anyone post yet.

I’m getting:
•Marcelle 3 in 1 moisturizer (love Marcelle products and haven’t tried this yet)
•Iles collection plus comb (have a feeling it’s just the comb but I’m good with that. I can always use another one)
•Lavanila Pure Vanilla fragrance (love vanilla fragrances especially in the winter)
•Jane Iredale lip and cheek stain (my choice)
•Juara candlenut body creme (I love this ever since I got it in a fabfitfun box and actually just included it with my add ons for the winter box)
• Dr. Brandt microdermabrasion (love Dr Brandt products, especially the Pores No More line, so I’m really looking forward to this).

I got the Dr. Brandt microdermabrasion last month. Smells like a minty lemon, I love it. I use a small amount about once a week. It should last a long time.

I’m getting the same products. I love trying new skincare products so I’m pretty excited. This is only my second box though.

I’m getting:
Chella pencil (my choice)

R+Co dry shampoo
Supergoop hand cream
Excited about everything except the hand cream. I’d rather get makeup or skincare I wouldn’t normally buy over that.

You will really like the Super good hand cream. It’s my favorite.

I did great this month! 6 products and No perfume, eyeliner or mascara. Way to get it together Birchbox!!
-Phyto Phytokeratine Repairing Mask
-Coastal Scents Blush & Bronzer Palette
-Benefit the POREfessional Matte Rescue Invisible-Finish Mattifying Gel
-Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Eye
-Oribe Superfine Hairspray
-Benefit the POREfessional Face Primer.

I’m going to guess one of the 2 benefits is a foil sample as they are similar, but still probably the most excited I’ve been for a Birchbox in a while.

OMG…Someone went to the Dollar Store, scooped up the half-priced bin and dumped it into my Birchbox reveal.

It’s maddening that I keep getting fragrance which is supposed to count as a full sample but ends up being a partially-filled tiny vial that leaks over the contents of my box. Last month after six months of damaged box, I finally complained and they sent me a replacement box–with the exact same contents doused in another cracked perfume vial.

I wish I could cancel this box but my husband gifted me a full year subscription.

I’m pretty excited. This will be my third box, and so far, looks to be the best one.

Eyeko Eyeliner(free gift since I resubscribed)?

I am getting the exact same box…it looks really good. Looking forward to trying the Kiels Midnight Recovery

I hope you like the midnight concentrate! That’s by far my most favorite night serum I’ve used. I’m about to resume a full size bottle I set aside when I decided to try a different night serum I received in a box (which I’ve almost finished up). That concentrate leaves my skin with a very hydrated, but not greasy, feeling (I have oily skin), and it has such a nice spa-like scent to it.

Sara

Me too! And the Wonder Eye Cream also! I have dark circles – heredity at its finest. :/

Susan

Not super excited about the Mascara and Foam Conditioner (will go up for trade) but super excited about getting a Kiehl sample and the mask (i’m a sucker for a mask)

Benefit Roller Lash Super-Curling & Lifting Mascara
Coastal Scents® Blush & Bronzer Palette (sample Choice)
R+Co ANALOG Cleansing Foam Conditioner
Avène Soothing Moisture Mask
Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate
