After doing a few reviews, I now have 199 points in my Birchbox Bank. 199! I am going crazy with that number. I want to shop!!!

I have 394... It's driving me nuts as well. I apparently should have spent one more dollar. Lol.
Welp, both of my boxes have arrived and overall I am feeling underwhelmed. Two different mascaras, 2 Agave oil samples, a carded sample that belongs in a magazine instead of my Birchbox, and yet another friggin' Coola sample. At least the Coola is unscented this time so I might actually try it and I'm very pleased with the sizes of the DDF and Refresh samples as well as the OPI polish. Bring it on March!

I have never even thought about what I am spending for future points value. Just I have X points and I get to spend them. I am going to pay better attention. Or maybe my oil will also be broken and I can ask for a pity point to be added.

My ipsy glam bag was so much better than my Birchbox this month. No contest. I'm still shocked they included a paper eyeshadow sample as on of the items. I can do better than that at the makeup counters in department stores, for free. I love shopping birchbox's site in general so the wide gulf between what they sell in the store and what I've gotten makes it all the worse. It's only $10 so it's not a big deal but I think I'm sticking with ipsy. I'll at least not have to worry about getting tea, lol!

In case anyone is looking for information on the color and flavor variations of products going out in either of these boxes: Yesterday I received Box # 51 with the Ruby Wing Kitten Heels polish (which changes from pink to red) and today I received Box #28 with the OPI polish in teal and the Harney and Sons tea in Paris and White Vanilla Grapefruit.
Yay! I'm getting box 28 and was crossing my fingers for the teal OPI! That makes me /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I can finally see a picture of my box on the website. This whole time it's just been the generic box photo with the samples listed underneath, but now I finally can see my samples. I don't know why, but seeing them makes me more excited. The shampoo & conditioner samples look pretty large and the OPI is so cute!

I was a bit let down that I didn't receive the Beauty oil as I really, really want to try it but reading how many of you received broken samples and ruined boxes because of it makes me feel like I dodged a bullet. I'm sorry so many of you are getting busted samples though. That stinks. At least we know BB will respond to it.
Re: The pillow pack discussion a few pages back -- I haven't received a pillow pack at all in the last 3 or 4 boxes. I just assumed BB did away with them.

I'm getting the same box you have on top... Really underwhelmed with the magazine insert sample and the tiny Agave oil treatment, but at least that Smashbox mascara is really good. I used it in the past and loved the results.

My levels were only a few below normal and only ever got up to lowest in the normal range, but then dropped below again by just a few points on what was already a decent dose, which is why I've now close to doubled it and I'm hoping to notice a difference in a few months (it can take up to 3 for it to affect blood levels). I literally don't get much sun year round because even in the summer I work all day and when I'm outdoors I am usually in the shade or wearing sunscreen (family history if skin cancer).

Box twins, at first I was super underwhelmed when I looked at this box and now I'm super excited! Both the Caudalie and DDF are big samples and great products! Plus I love hair oils /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I got the Ruby Wing in gold! Super excited for that, since I love metallics and really do not like pink. The agave thing is pretty small...I think it will only last once since my hair is long...
The eyeshadow card is pretty pathetic in real life. It's really flat...almost like a swatch card more than something you can try out. It's listed as a "beauty extra" on the card. I am excited about the mascara since...it is the first mascara I have ever owned!
I am a real beauty noob.
So...some cool stuff to try out this month, though the samples are pretty small...step up your game bb!
Yes, I got the "eyeshadow sample" as well, and I agree, PATHETIC!!!
But that Camille Beckman-love love love!!!

On 2 of my accounts I am getting dupe boxes of #9. I just checked the tracking on both boxes and one shipped on the 6th and the other box shipped on the 10th. Has anyone had the same box ship out 4 days apart? I'm wondering if it is a mistake and I will be getting a different box on the later account. It seems like there is more glitches this month than usual. It doesn't matter to me because either way I'm fine but I find it weird that they ship in waves yet the same box will ship out so far apart.

It has the pink Ruby Wing polish, pores no more, BP oil, juicy Malibu and breath mints. I don't need 2 of the same polish (actually it's 3 because my other account is getting the same polish also) and I don't like pores no more but I'd be fine with 2 of these boxes. It won't be here until mid next week so I'm not sure if I should set up trades or if I'm going to get surprised and have a different box. I've gotten dupes before but they always shipped the same day.

I received my box the other night, and I was surprised by how much I love the scent of the Bain de Terre passion flower shampoo and conditioner. I'm super excited to use them.
