Birchbox February 2014 (SPOILERS)

[TippyAG]

Can someone inform us newbies what a limited edition box is? Do we pay in addition to our sub? How much? Thanks for any insight!

They aren't included in the subscriptions. They are a special one time purchase. Pricing is different every time.

Limited edition boxes are sold through the Birchbox store and are usually "themed."  They last did a Snow day box.  it had socks, a mini scrabble, candle, matches, hot cocoa etc.  They have done a back to school themed one, a superwoman one.  They are usually between $40 and $100.  Since they are limited edition depending what is in it, they sell out fast.

Ooooh!! I didn't think of that... I've got a handful of points and gift cards to spend. PLEASE be a great box!

I think it's so strange that people aren't getting pillow packs.  I've had one in every box - this month, I didn't get oil, but my perfume was in it (including the card) and the w3ll people color stick sample.  Why would they include one for those products when something like the oil doesn't get one??

I got the oil not in a pillow pack, but there was a pillow pack in my box with the reviver and Paula's choice stuffed in it. So strange. My bottle didn't break but it did leak a little. Sometimes I question their packaging decisions.

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).

This might sound silly but I'm a bit confused. You can combine points from different accounts to place an order ?

Just saw this on the Birchbox Facebook page!

 Our latest Limited Edition box goes on sale TOMORROW! And, of course, we're giving our Facebook fans the chance to win it tonight. So, let us know-what do you think it is? 'Like' and comment for a chance to win. We'll reveal the box and announce the winner tomorrow morning! (Birchbox.com/Rules)

I always get so excited about these boxes and then I end up not wanting them! But I'm holding out hope that THIS one will be the box of my dreams!

I was thinking something similar to last years Garden Box which was a GREAT Mother's Day gift for my mom and mother in law, but it's a bit early. Those came out in April.

for every 100 points, you can cash out the points in to a gift card, if that makes sense. so i cashed out my mom's 100 points on her account and got a 10 dollar gift card with them.

 

[angienharry]

In the rules and fine print of the LE box giveaway it states the retail value is $55 that has to mean they would be selling it for around $25 maybe?

 

[chelsealady]

I'm betting it is Oscar themed.

I've had the pillow packs every month too, but this month they must have run out. I didn't have one in my main sub box.

That's what I was thinking- except the academy awards are less than 2 weeks away, so you'd think they would have started selling already

 

[TippyAG]

Unless they only have a very limited supply.

That makes perfect sense. I signed up for 2 extra accts for the USWEEKLY 100 point promo but spent the points on accounts separately. I ordered items with free shipping so didn't really lose anything but good to know in the future to order pricier items Thank you so much /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I'm kicking myself now too. I mean I bought stuff that I want. But I always enjoy their LE boxes. UGH.
