Birchbox February 2014 (SPOILERS)

[Kennelly1017]

Update: weight was .4100 it was for my second sub, shipping just didnt update.

I'm pretty sure this is the February box for my third sub (signed up with the US Weekly code, I know, I have a problem /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />) Not too bad for a first box. I hope my other 2 boxes are better though!!

Update: weight was .4100 it was for my second sub, shipping just didnt update.

I got this box on my 2nd account, on which I am about 20 yrs younger yet less trendy I'll have fun with the half up device and look forward to what my new found youth will grant me in future boxes /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

This is my alt profile too! I am 21 with blonde hair, love perfume and makeup. I make a lot of $ and I can't remember what else. This is usually my favorite box where I get the months coveted items. Not so much this month!!

This is the box I ended up getting today,  but it turns out that I am only getting it on one account, so that's good. It's just not a good box for me personally. Also, my tracking number ended in 66, and there is no box #66.

  I hope that's not my box that's coming. It's just not right for me. I am sensitive to perfumes (some give me migraines), the miracle skin transformer is too dark for me, and I hate getting packets. I would hate to get this box twice! It doesn't really fit my profile at all either. Oh well, we shall see. 

The miracle skin transformer product isn't the tinted moisturizer but a luminizer

I saw this on instagram and freaked out. I love Ruffian's nail polish way more than I thought I would.

I'm really curious about that half-up hair thingy! I hope I get that. There's about 4 or 5 products I reallllly want in my box this month! Could it be possible that my perfect box exists out there? And will actually arrive on my doorstep? I doubt it, but I'm gonna keep dreaming until my box finally ships and I can find out for sure haha

I don't particularly want a peely either... But I'll take one if it's just an extra. I most certainly don't think a peely counts as a deluxe sample!

I don't know if they meant they'd be in the May boxes or just added to the shop? At least the boxes with the peeler and the Smashbox card have 5 items.

Since you mention it, have you ever had a box with only 4 samples? I haven't yet, and I'm wondering if they always send out 5 or if I've just gotten very lucky.

Same here and I paid for both of my February boxes on January 23rd. Way before people get auto billed on the first, smh.

I will be a very sad person if I get a peelie.

Me too. I will definitely complain if they count it as a regular sample.

I just went through mine and all have been 5 or 6, but I know it's been mentioned before that some people have gotten 4 item boxes. Technically my last box was 4 items and a Birchbox Extra, but I could review all 5 items so that's fine with me!

 

[ghostieboo]

Son of a witch! My products are listed on my box page, so I just ruined my surprise /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I thought they weren't supposed to list them until after the 10th. My box hasn't even shipped yet.

Alright meow.. Give me a clicky truck!! How is it that I order something from bb and it's delivered 3 days later but my box takes 10 days? Also I did something funky to my profile bc they are sending me 2 skin cares and 1 hair care item. My cup runneth over with those items. And finally.. I tried the fruit mascara I got from another sub (I'm getting one in this box too) it sucks!

I have been a subscriber for two years and I have never seen a 4 item box.  There have been a few times where people only got 40 points for a box because of things getting grouped together as a kit for a review (or when bb sent a travel sized bottle of lotion and then a few foils of the same lotion in different scents as an extra).  When birchbox promises 4-5 samples they are not including birchbox finds, chocolate, and other extras.

I am hoping not to get one of the benefit sample boxes.  I already have a sample of fake-up from my Sephora b-day gift and am not interested in a peely of the big easy.  I never seem to have much luck with Benefit products.  (Fake-up is pretty good for me but that's it.)

Idk how you define regular sample but the box I saw with the peelie had four items + the peelie. In my opinion it shouldn't be a sample at all and should be an "advertising"/promotional type product.

Regular sample to me is something like a makeup wipe, sample nail polish, travel sized items, etc. a perlite doesn't count as a regular sample in my opinion because it's hard to determine if I like a sample off of one try. Give me enough of a sample to let me try it at least twice.

That sucks. I wish I knew what I was getting, when my box was shipping, box weight, something lol. I hate suspense b

I've never received a 4 item box but I know others have. In 13 months I've received 6 item boxes 4 times though. That's always a win!
