My October 2012 Birchbox

I got my October Birchbox today in the mail. I'm not sure why, but the company sent me an email before the box came, that basically said what was in the box. I don't like that. I like to be surprised. So it took a little of the fun out of it. Anyway, here's what I got this month: 













What do you think of this months box? Worth $10? 

I don't mind the price. It's not much to pay for the service and I do really enjoy getting these boxes. However, this definitely wasn't one of the better boxes they have sent. I love the full size Essie polish OF COURSE. I wasn't real thrilled with any of the other items and I"ll be passing them along to a friend. I think the box could have used one more full size item, and I'd like to see something a little more exciting than lotions and cleansers.

  1. I agree with you, I got my Birchbox today, and I choose the Goop version of the box, and my first thought was, "this box is on the light side". But then I figured that my Essie Polish (lady like) and my Lemon Zest Luna bar are about 10 bucks, so I don't really feel short changed...With all the hype they had around these Goop boxes I was expecting way more

    1. What is this Goop you are talking about? I didn't know there were options on the box you got. I must look this up. Thank you!

  3. I also got a goop box, but no Essie polish! So mad now! I got a face mask, face lotion, some small amount of powder for second day hair (wtf?) that I will never use, and a mini super tiny lipgloss that i will try to use against my nature - definitely think i want to cancel now.

    1. I will probably rack up some more points and do a little shopping spree before I quit the box. But believe me, the thought of cancelling has crossed my mind.

    2. We got the same box!!! I was so upset about no Essie Polish. I used the hair powder today and it is horrible. Smells like an old lady and hard to use, and only absorbes oil for about 1 hour then its back to before....bummed

  4. This was my box too, but I do think it's one of the better boxes out there. It contained no food, but there were at least a couple foil packet (thin). I think you're right about either one more larger full-size or at least larger products.

    1. Yeah, I mean, I loved the polish. That might have sealed the deal for me alone. I guess I just get disappointed to see the same old things every month.
