i definitely wouldn't buy anything pricey without color matching in store, but that's because i'm very possessive over my money and points bahahah.

Oh hell no.

That is pretty close to the words that went through my head when I saw that on the vid.

To put the Benefit BB primer thing size into perspective, I literally got this sample inside of this month's Cosmo today. Not even on the outside as a special thing for subscribers. Actually on the inside between the pages of a Garnier ad. 



If that really is the sample they're sending out, I think that's kind of lame.

While I don't know for sure, I wouldn't expect that Birchbox has stones large enough to send out a peelie as a "deluxe sample." Rest assured that it's an "extra" or something like that. If I'm wrong, I bet you will get 100 BB points if you receive it and complain. BB has always done right by me.

There are some Fit Me foundation samples in the issue of Glamour that arrived today (I don't subscribe?). Oh how I wanted to love you, Fit Me. I loved the feel of this on the card and bought 2 full-size tubes looking for the shade that melts into my skin, but it doesn't exist. It's a foundation stick with extremely light (no) coverage and totally gone from your face in a couple hours. Unfortunate, because a gel-to-powder medium coverage long lasting foundation stick is like my dream item, and I so wanted this to be it. I'm pretty sure the reason it feels weightless on your skin is because it transfers within minutes of application. It's so sad that the things in life that stick well to your face often feel like they're stuck to your face.

 While everybody sits happily hoping for benefit samples..I sadly had the ultimate spoiler while trying to see tracking on my iphone. Can't believe the items were posted so early!! At least give me a day or two to HOPE i got a cool box with some benefit or Dr. Brandt. Nope. Pretty sure that this is my box:

https://www.birchbox.com/shop/birchbox-1/february-2014/february-2014-bb38

Not all the items are up yet.. I also get some toothpaste and hair oil!! 

I'll still live through you guys though. Good luck on getting some rad stuff!

How did you see this? Nothing is showing up on my app yet. I'm wondering if it isn't just a glitch though because someone several pages back saw (i think) these same items on her app super early?

I got that nail polish is my last box (the pink/scarlet version) and it did NOT change color is the sun. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Same here. The neon pink is a fun color and looks neato under a black light but I really wanted to see some color shifting and it simply didn't happen. At. All.

I just watched the Feb video with Gwen Flamberg. She seems very fake and her "posing" for the camera is annoyingly gross. Just stop, Gwen.

Idk my box just uploaded super duper early. I think the post you're referring to was me. I guess I'm stuck on the soapbox! The sneak peek video was just a bitter reminder that there was no surprise in store for this month hahaha

The usual girls do this every video, you probably just don't notice as they've had more practice

You're probably right. Blech. People who "fake it" around the clock weird me out. I don't trust a person who puts on a toothy, rigid smile and acts like everything is all marigolds and shiny toasters. Bust out a frown once in a while! Act human!! Haha. I think I'm just overly jaded.

I got a Stila peelie as a deluxe sample in Aug 2012. I was pretty mad and complained but did not get any points. That was the worst box I ever received. Here is a picture of my box. I don't mind getting these kind of samples but only if they are the 6th item in the box, they cannot be classified as deluxe.

UHM...I would have been livid if I got that box. It looks a bit like the boxes I received at the end of my subscription in early 2011. I've resubbed so many times I lost count, but 2011 boxes were either excellent or the worst of the worst.

I cancelled in mid 2011 too when I kept getting crappy boxes like that one. I just resubbed for the first time this month so they better wow me with one of the two boxes I'm getting. [@]celiajuno[/@] can't believe they didn't do anything for you!

Those were my EXACT thoughts as well!

 

[knightsgirl]

Is the USWEEKLY100 code still working? I referred myself (for a third box lol), and it says it's applied but doesn't mention it anywhere on the checkout page?

 

[Rachel S]

I'm sad to admit it took me reading it SEVERAL times going...what? to figure out they didn't mean "Rhymes" in the normal way. omg. I feel so stupid.

Same here! I kept thinking, but that doesn't rhyme??? Haha derrr
