E-mails went out to Birchbox Aces earlier today allowing subscribers to pick their October Samples! This month you have a choice between a sample in the October “Fanfare” themed box or you can opt for the “Laggies” box. Here are all the details:
Fanfare Sample Choice
The Fanfare box allows you to select one of the following items:
~Mally Beauty High-Shine Liquid Lipstick Pens (in Melon or Petal to the Metal) (or)
~ModelCo Party Proof Lipstick Trio (in Kitty) (or)
~Lord & Berry Pailletes Eyeliner (in Black)
Laggies Box
The Laggies Box includes:
~TOCCA Crema da Mano in Bianca
~Beauty Protector Protect & Detangle
~ModelCo POWERLASH Black Mascara
~Sage + Fasten Eau de Parfum in Onward
~Vasanti BrightenUp! Enzymatic Face Rejuvenator
I opted in for the Laggies Box for my 1st Birchbox account. I am going to pick one of the Mally lipstick pens for my second account when that e-mail comes. I am not an Ace on my second account so I am guessing that the e-mail will arrive on that one tomorrow.
Did you get your selection e-mail yet for the October Birchbox? What item are you picking this month? What do you think of the preset themed boxes (The Everygirl Box, The Fashionista Box and this month’s Laggies Box)? Are you loving them like I am?
I love the choices! I got the fashionista box last month and thought it was a great choice. Picked up the Mally Petal to the Metal today though (:
That’s a good pick.
I’m hoping to get a Mally Beauty lipstick pen!! Hopefully they won’t run out like they did with both Birchbox Plus items yesterday. By time I got my email, both were unavailable. I really wanted that bracelet!!
I know! I wanted to get the candle and it was sold out by the time I even got the email too.
Jennifer! If you give us a call 1 (877) 487-7272 or email info@birchbox.com we can help 🙂 – Rachel (social media @ Birchbox) xoxo
Weird…I’m an Ace and didn’t get the email. Guess I’ll keep waiting for it!
I just got mine at 3:39pm, seems like they’re doing them in waves!
Hopefully it comes soon!
I’m an Ace and still haven’t gotten my email, so I clicked on the link from my September PYS email and it gave me the October options!
That worked for me also. Just went in through September’s email and chose the Laggies box.
I wish the box had something actually tied to the movie, because it looks like a cute one.
And I haven’t received my email yet either.
I have never heard of that movie. Which isn’t surprising really since I am out of the loop!
You can see the trailer on the iTunes movie trailer site (or via the app). I saw it a while back, then I recently saw an interview with Keira about it being a different sort of role for her after all of her costume dramas.
Oh I’m so excited ~~ I had shared with emails to have early notice to have this opportunity funny I kept checking my email this morning all morning & I just got the email & I choose the kitty lipstick from modelco & it’s perfect for me since I’m a lipstick junkie~ even thou that beauty protector in the other box really got my attention but I plan on having the full size in Novemver for my birthday ~~
Not birchbox related but have to ask are you picking up the wantable fitness box that launched today?
OMG I was going to and then I saw a post on Facebook a few minutes ago that said it was all sold out for the month. I guess I won’t be getting that! LOL.
Wow, it sold out already? I just got the e-mail about it earlier today. Crazy!
I know!
I went with the ModelCo lipstick in Kitty. I recall getting a ModelCo lipstick back when I started getting BB like a year ago that was an awful bright orange color, but I really liked the formula and meant to try it in another color. So I figure this is my chance! And I’ve already tried a couple items in the Laggies box, though I’m intrigued by the perfume as I like citrus scents. Looking forward to your review!
I’m not a huge fan of any of the choices this month. If I don’t choose anything, will one of them still end up in my box?
Yes. They will pick one for you.
I was so jealous of the Fashionista box last month that I selected the Laggies box this month! I love the themed boxes. 🙂
I chose the Mally Petal to the Metal. LOVE Mally’s lipglosses! I wanted to get the Birchbox Plus candle but it already sold out when I tried to order. 🙁
Same!
I ordered 2 of the candles yesterday, I assume the order went through, but I haven’t gotten a confirmation yet.
I chose the Laggies box, I love the Beauty Protector spray <3 I wouldn't mind getting a sample of it every month haha
Ha! That way you will never have to buy it. I got it for the Tocca. I wouldn’t mind that every month.
all these preset boxes have me about this close ( ) to cancelling ipsy and getting a second birchbox account dedicated to their preset themed boxes…they’re getting harder to pick between! last month I swore I’d let it go another 2-3 months before I made the jump, just to make sure they keep up these themed boxes. One more month and I might just do it.
Oh I hear you! I got that second subscription at just the right time. I love having the reg. box and then the special themed box.
I chose the mally Mellon but I do really love the beauty protector so it was a hard decision but I never tried mally so I opted for that
I went to my September sample choice email and clicked the box that says “Take your pick now”, and it brought me to the October sample choice page and I was able to pick. I’m not an Ace yet and it let me do it early without getting the email. The Mally gloss in melon is already unavailable, so I chose the Petal to the Metal… I know that may be cheating, but that makes up for the fact that the Birchbox plus items were sold out before I even got the email to choose.
I should do that with my second account!
I JUST got my email and went in all excited to pick … everything is sold out except the eye liner, the one thing I don’t want because I don’t use it. 🙁 So disappointed! Does this happen often? Do they just pick for you?
I got my e-mail on my second account and it was just the lipstick or eyeliner left! They will pick for you if you don’t pick and there is a chance they could still have one of those other items left. I’d probably just leave it blank if I were you.
Ok, thanks!
I chose the Laggies box. I really wanted the Fashionista box, but I was super busy that week and didn’t get logged in before it was sold out. That being said, I was really pleased with my last two Birchboxes! I have an Ipsy subscription, too. I go back and forth between which one was better, but last month, they both were spot on for my taste! I can’t wait for the Laggies box! I also logged into my Birchbox account today and bought a few items I kept meaning to get. I had credit sitting there, then I used the code for free samples with a $35+ purchase and the code for an anniversary box – I ended up scoring quite the deal – hope I like those samples, too!
I think the Laggies box is going to be amazing!
Wanted Laggies box but all sold out already..I’m bummed..loved the selection in the box!
You should e-mail them!
I would love to have it.
