Nice find!  I was hoping for a higher value box but I think I'm going to hold out placing my order until tomorrow.  Maybe one of you super slueths will be able to find out the contents tonight too.

 
Since this is my first Birchbox month, will they send a tracking code? My subscription says "Active" but my box says "Processing".

My first 2 boxes for February arrived with no pillow packs. I'm sure it rattled around a lot, so I got lucky that neither of my 2 BP oils broke. I have gotten pillow packs up through Jan though. I'm a touch worried about my next box (which I might get tomorrow, fingers crossed) that has my OPI and another BP oil in it. That seems to be the cursed box. At first I was thinking they had pillow packs already made up, so if you got that combo of products, they pulled out a pillow pack and tossed it in. But then I saw some with the US Weekly design on it, so now I'm like 'what???'

  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.
Do they usually go on sale at midnight? Cause I might really want one, but I don't get off work til 230pm cst, and i'll not be happy if they're already sold out. lol.

The last few have been mid-morning/early afternoon.

 They sell out fast, but none have sold out THAT fast.

It was super weird, the oil and polish were just rolling around and nothing in a pillow pack. My six year old was shaking it on the way home and I was like ahhhhh, stop! I did have some oil leak :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> they are sending me another.

Wow, I feel completely let down. LOL.  

 
I have most of the items except the John Frieda and the Biore. I think I will wait for the next one.

And it's $18. Huh. Drugstore items? I didn't expect that..
 
Well, I decided to bite. I have a 13 year old that will love those things.. I needed more toothpaste so I threw this together with my 13 month code and points.. The total was less than my toothpaste :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
400


 
Oh, man, this makes me roll my eyes so hard it *hurts*:

Quote:  Let’s face it: Spending hours at the drugstore, navigating aisles of beauty products underneath florescent lighting, is about as much fun as a root canal.
They clearly have a much more awesome dentist than I do (THREE-HOUR ROOT CANAL.  And then no Vicodin).  Browsing for ages in Fred Meyer/Target/Rite Aid/Walgreens/etc.?  Sounds like a fantastic weekend to me.

I'm seriously considering getting this if I can find enough stuff to make a round $50 after my 25% (34-month) discount.  I have a little more than 200 points and $30 in gift cards to spend, and this box does have a couple of things I'm curious about, so it could be worth it for me simply because I can't get those items for $13.50 (the price of the box after the discount).

 
gahhhh i love birchbox finds! i need this!
 

eta: really, i don't *actually* need it - found a stash of CEW box products i haven't even gotten to yet. but this still looks like a fun box.
