I literally *just* got my replacement box and it's the same one I got originally. I was a little disappointed!

How funny is that, it happened to me too. The one time they sent out a replacement box b/c mine got lost in the postal system, the one I received was the exact same box #, which disappointed me because I didn't particularly like it, and then two days later the original one that went missing shows up. Figures!

Which Sauve dry shampoo are you using?  I just bought one and I'm not sure I like it better then Tresseme's dry shampoo.  Sauve's smells wayyyyy better but I don't think it absorbs as much oil.  But I also noticed three different types of Sauve dry shampoo so it may just be the one I grabbed.

I've gone through several of the silver bottle with the yellow cap. I do think TIGI and Klorane are just a tad better but since I can usually get the Suave for around $1 with coupons I still pick it up regularly.

ahhh just got an email saying I won the Fekkai give away! I'm so excited lol that basically pays me back for my entire year and a half of subscribing to BB!  I've only used one Fekkai product before but I enjoyed it so I'm eager to see how the rest of it works out! L

Congratulations and enjoy!

They gave me an option on the LE box. I could do 5$ standard, 7$ to receive it by tomorrow, or like $20 to receive it the next day. Butttt they're kind of out of the doghouse, I wasn't suppose to receive my February box until March, but they shipped it early! It should be here next Wednesday/Thursday is the estimated delivery date. I've seen some of ya'll talk about which box# you're getting... do you find that out on the website or just when it gets here? 

Since it's your first box you won't be able to do that, but next month on the 10th you should see what you're getting that month on the box page /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Welcome to BB!

awesome! i loved the glossy creme sample i got last month!

on a sort of related note, they are sending me the box i was supposed to get which will hopefully get me another sample of that glossing creme through a trade. i get to keep the box they sent me incorrectly, which i actually liked b/c now i get to try the opi tints /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

You're welcome! I hope you love it. I am one that is pretty much always pleased with my box each month, I haven't had a "bad" one yet in 6 months. I meant to give you a more detailed response about the box number thing, but I was in a hurry and wanted to answer your question since no one else had! So here is a further explanation: Each month on the 10th, your box page should update with your contents for that current month. There is a little more to it to know what box number it is, though... That isn't actually displayed anywhere for you. You can find that out by manually typing this web address into your browser: ( http://www.birchbox.com/shop/birchbox-1/march-2014/march-2014-bb1 ) ...The number 1 after 'bb' indicates the box number. They usually go up to around 60 boxes, so if you change that number to 2, you would see the contents of box 2, and 60 would be the contents of box 60, etc. 'March' can be replaced by whatever month you want to look at and obviously 2014 would stay from now until December of this year. So what we like to do here at MUT is look at all the boxes before the 10th and try to guess which one will be ours (and hope and pray we're right /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />) Then on the 10th you can go back through them all and figure out which one matches up to your box on your profile and that's how you know which one you got! Hope that made sense!

My box page is finally up. Tea and no BP oil...son of a *!@#.

Sighs...well, I guess it could have been worse. A mediocre box shipped to the wrong address is better than a terrible box, or no box at all, right? ;-;

Or if you just want to see your box number and not all the others, go to the Birchbox desktop site, scroll down to your box history, click on the little box to the left of the products listing, and then the URL at the top of the page will show what box number it is. It doesn't work on the mobile site for me.

On Monday I managed to spill an entire venti size Starbucks all over my drivers side seat of my car (which made for an awesome start to my week

). I spent Monday evening scrubbing my seat and floorboards and mats with scotchguard and cleaner to try to get some of the lovely "french roast" scent out of my car and seat. On Tuesday my car still smelled like a Starbucks so I went to B&BW and got one of those little Scentportables to clip in my car in the scent Tiki Beach.

Riding around this week with the heater on, the tiki beach scent really reminds me of the Beauty Protector scent, a lot!  I have the candle at home that I still need to burn, but if you want to smell the BP scent 24/7 check out the Tiki Beach scent at Bath & Body Works and see if you think it smells similar to the Beauty Protector line.

People are selling the BP oil sample on ebay for around 5 bucks shipping included if you want try it out (its worth it, IMO). I might buy another sample.

That's not too bad. I think the sample has about 10mL and shipping stuff cost me 2-3 bucks.

Side note: I got the BP spray in last month's box but the spray part of the bottle doesn't work. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Do any of you experts have a solution for this situation? (Hate when this happens!)

I saw a few swatches of it back when it was in the Winter Ltd Edition box. It didn't seem that pigmented, to me.

The cr palette is fine. Pretty as heck on the vanity, but not anything special otherwise.
