Birchbox February 2014 (SPOILERS)

[Lolo22]

Here's a screen shot of the earrings

I like those! I suppose there's no way to get them if you didn't get the email? The bralette is kind of cute (though not my style) but I'm a bra snob and will only buy Victorias Secret ones. Plus, after working there for over 5 yrs I own over 100 bras so I don't need any more haha.

I just clicked on the email to post the link and now it says they are sold out.

Lame! Thanks for posting the pic tho! I'm glad the plus offers are getting better /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Eta: the bra is sold out now too!

I did too! How do you see the shipping date?
 
They should have sent you an email that says "Your Birchbox Order # ________" with a number, and inside the email the date should be listed under "Women's Monthly Rebillable Subscription" 

 

[crescentmoon]

I didnt get the email :/ I would have bought one or both

 

[barbyechick]

I haven't gotten the plus emails at any point, which is a bummer but I'm glad the minute I asked it just showed up lol. Maybe they read the forum and realized 'crap, we forgot to send those out'  

i LIVE for bralettes, i hate cups and padding with a passion lol but this one just looks so confining!

Definitely an improvement over the two months of greeting cards, although I hope they play with the price more - I can pull $25 out of nowhere and feel comfortable there - at $30 I think I'd want to start drawing comparisons to gloss/ps and expect more than just an add on? Then again bb has never been a deal kinda box, more an intro to brands kinda thing, so in that sense I get it.

 

[OiiO]

I'm a sucker for dainty jewelry, so I opted in for the earrings. I think they're really cute /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Has anyone with a new sub for February gotten an email to sign up for the magazine? The info states that it will come after claiming the box. I got by box confirmation email, but nothing about the magazine.

In the past they've been inside the boxes.. a sort of mail-in thing!  So maybe it's like that?  To answer your question- I have not gotten an email about the mag!

  There are variations.  For example, a few of the goop-curated boxes:

There were more curated variations that month, but I got tired of pasting them in!

Wow!  Those boxes had some GREAT products!

  Speak of the devil, just got a birchbox plus email:

I'm rather busty, I don't think this bra is going to work for me bahahah.

I got the plus email on my new sub I took out for February.  It was for the bralet and I, too, am a very busty lady. 34DDD or 34G depending on the time of the month.  That thing wouldn't do me a bit of good or even look cute on me.  Discovering Soma intimates has changed my life, though.  They have an amazing selection of bras in larger sizes.

i got an email with a code for us weekly the day after i signed up for the box...

As for the confusion, if you sign up before Feb. 1 (i think) with the US Weekly link, they're send you a January box and shipping them out on Feb. 1 and the collab box goes out on the standard date.  When I look at my account info, it has a truck that isn't clicky yet for January box shipping info.  Since they're giving 100 point with the promo, it's essentially a free box and then you'll get charged for the February box as well.  I could be totally wrong but that's how I've perceived it.

I contacted BB and that is exactly how they described the process. I will receive a Jan box (shipped on Feb 1st) and will be charged around Feb 1st for the us weekly box.

I need to check out Soma then! I've been really into finding REAL bras that fit lately (not crappy VS sizes) and have been looking for places where I can try on something like a 30F or G. Everywhere I've found with large cup sizes doesn't have smaller band sizes.

They have a website so you can get an idea of their sizes and styles.  I signed up for their reward program and now I get like 5% off for life.  Plus they do bangin' sales a couple of times a year.  I got about $400 worth of stuff for just over $100 at one of them.

I've been to Soma a couple times. Super knowledgable staff at the locations I've visited. They do have good sales sometimes!

Yes I got my redemption code for the magazine last Friday.

 

[gemstone]

Did anyone who signed up for the bralette or the earrings get a confirmation email?

Thanks! I signed up a couple of days ago, so I sent an email.

Ohh I'm glad I'm not the only one.  I'm pretty sure I've mentioned this a few times around the deals thread, but I live for the VS Semi Annual Sales. Went from a 36B (how I was wearing this size I'll never know..) to a 34DD/32DDD.  If 32DDD's came in push ups they'd fit me so much better, but alas.  Apparently the idea is that because that's such a ridiculous size why would anyone want to push them up?  But.. world, I don't need them to look bigger, I need them to look like they're on the right place on my body.  Help a sistah out!  Needless to say, no bralet for me (bralette?)- I got the Gorjana offer though, will probably also turn it down as I can't keep studs for longer than a week or so without losing one.  H&M is my best friend.

Same here! Exact same size! They make the vs bombshell in bigger sizes. Try one on for the hell of it. Lol. My boobs were pretty much up to my chin. I laughed hysterically.
