Birchbox February 2014 (SPOILERS)

[caseybean025]

I'm so confused. I got an e-mail from Birchbox saying if I signed up before the 15th I would receive the February box. I signed up on the 13th, and it still says "processing". Am I getting a box this month?

I signed up in the later part of the month. 20something? In October. I got my box at the end of the month.

For those of you tempted by the BP oil you might try, dare I say it, Suave's Moroccan Infusion Styling Oil.  Here's why.  When I was using my BP oil sample last night I noticed it smelled familiar and it immediately clicked that it smelled like the Suave product, which I had gotten in an Allure beauty box, but hadn't used and didn't think I was going to until I read some amazing reviews about it.  Anyway, since the BP oil reminded me so much of it in terms of scent and texture, I decided to compare the ingredients and there is quite a bit of overlap.  So, if you don't have the points right now to swing the BP oil, you might try the Suave instead.  You'll probably like it just as much.  Read the reviews.  People love it.  Who'd of thunk it?

interesting! i have other argan oils but i love the BP one the most because of the smell, primarily. i might have to check it out for myself!

I signed up this month, I never got the email for the magazine subscription. I emailed. Birchbox. I'm still waiting to hear back from them. I'm also still waiting for my 1st box to arrive, it left Atlanta yesterday, after being there for 4 days. Hope it makes it to my home in Alabama. Monday or Tuesday.

Remember, gang, no mail on Monday! I wouldn't be surprised to find out that Birchbox offices are closed as well.

I just cashed in my points with a coupon. I'm surprised that I saved up this many.

Anyone know if when you are using a code for a free product with purchase of another product if the free product is supposed to show up in your cart or be acknowledged somewhere?  It says the code is applied, but that's the only thing I see.  Thanks!

The free product will not show in your cart but it should be in your order when you receive it /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

  Birchbox is killing me. I was going to keep saving my points but I just got a 25% off coupon code for my 25th month. So I have I have 249 points on my account and am going to cash out my moms 100 points from her gift account since she didn't really get into Birchbox. Right now plan is to get the Whish Coconut Milk Correcting Gel and the 100% Pure Organic Coffee Bean Caffeine Eye Cream. Does anyone know anything about the Whish Coconut Milk Correcting Gel? I've tried the exfoliating body gel so I know I like the scent. I want the correcting gel because I have scarring on my hands from my crazy siamese cat. We used to play fight when she was a kitten and it was no big deal, but now that she's grow up she plays very rough. Rookie mistake, she's my first *real* pet and I didn't realize what a difference it would make. So unfortunately there's some scarring on my hands since my fiance isn't in town regularly to help me trim her nails. I don't have the heart to get her declawed. I'm getting married in January 2015 so I'd like to try to reduce the damage while I can. (also any other suggestions for reducing scarring are greatly welcomed).

You actually did the right thing playing aggressively with her. It's good to socialize cats to not be afraid of rough human touch. It's probably more of a Siamese thing, they aren't exactly known for their warm nature. I've play fought with every cat I've had since I was little and it has always ended up with a well adjusted cat, since they are used to being mauled they are totally comfortable with heavy handed playing. If you don't play with them, you risk having a skittery anti social kitty. Those nail caps have worked for friends who had furniture scratching cats, and dogs on wood floored apartments.

Did anyone else receive ElevenSkin Rescue Omega 3 Serum in their box?  I got box #24.  Are you having trouble leaving a review?  I have been trying for days now, and I get nothing but a screen that says:

Product Feedback: ElevenSkin Rescue Omega 3 Serum We would love to hear what you think about this product as well as your previous experience with this brand. Bonus: Birchbox members earn 10 Birchbox points for each product survey they complete for a product they sampled in a monthly box. At this time, individual product feedback does not significantly impact the samples Birchbox members will receive in future boxes.

No boxes to choose from, on how I like the product etc.  I contacted Birchbox and they said they could leave feedback just fine.  I am sadly 10 points away from having 300 and I could really use the points. It's frustrating.  Not sure if I should contact them again or not.

Or you can cancel and rejoin and get your 10 points that way.

Based on things I've read in the forums, this could cause you to receive dupes though. Seems like your mileage may vary on this though.

i do it all of the time and i have yet to receive a dupe on my account. i did it to get the extra 100 points for the us weekly promo.

I was one of the poor unfortunate souls whose billing error wasn't a mistake. My bank done goofed. Sooo, short story long, I had to use a different debit card to pay for this month's box, and I was just able to change it on Friday. Is anybody able to say perhaps from past experience whether I'll get my February box as usual or not?

This is a pain in the ass, but whenever I have problems like this with a certain website at work, here's what I have to do:

• Close all browser windows
• Open *one* browser window
• Clear the history, cookies, etc.
• Close the window
• Reopen it

You'll probably lose saved things like passwords, but it's the first thing I have to try when the work thing is acting up, and it works almost every single time. (The other problem with the work website is the Java history, but once I clear *that*, everything starts working again.)

I know this was sent last month but I'm loving the nail rock micro glitter. I got the blue one and I feel like this is the exact shade of blue I've been looking for FOREVER. it's perfect. Thanks, Birchbox!

I don't think that creates dupes since it is still tied to the same email. I did it once (for reasons unrelated to getting points) and I've never gotten a dupe on my main.

Like I said, ymmv, I've read forum posts here on the birchbox threads that have stated both. People who do it and have never received a dupe, and those who have received a dupe and after contacting CS was told that's why. *shrugs*

I have no personal experience with it.

I may have missed the instances you're talking about, I was under the impression that the only people who received dupes were the ones that gift themselves a second account, or open a second account on a separate email address (aside from random birchbox hiccups that happen every once in a blue moon).

Ooh, interesting...I'll have to keep that in mind if I like the BP oil when my box finally shows up...because I have an unopened bottle of the Suave I got in a set for Christmas in my closet waiting for me to use up my other oils!
