Birchbox February 2014 (SPOILERS)

[queenofperil]

Sorta relevant: I just placed an order worth $35.50, and I completely forgot to add the mystery sample pack to my order.

Email them quick. Or call them right away in the AM. I've done that (uhh more than once) and they've always added it for me

Oh, that's good to know. I'll call them as soon as I wake up. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

On another note, is it pathetic that it's damn near 2:30 in the morning here and I'm sitting here refreshing my box page? In my defense, I have wicked insomnia that's been getting progressively worse lately, but I still feel a little embarrassed.

Haha you're not alone! There are at least 28 other people viewing this page right now 

I just happen to be at work until 7 AM, but even if I was home I'd be awake waiting for my box to update. Too impatient to wait.

Ah. Are you by chance a third shifter/night crew? Former two-time member of that club myself. I always joked with my friends/coworkers that we should have shirts made up that say "Night crew does it 'til morning!"

Yep, I am! 23:00-7:00. I would wear the heck out of that shirt!

 

[TippyAG]

Ha

I feel so creepy, but we live in the same city!

ha ha! Not creepy! Vantucky represent! 😜

Box 1:

Ruby Wing Polish

Beauty Protector Oil

Juicy Couture La La Malibu

dr. brandt® Exclusive Camera-Ready Kit

32 Oral Care Effervescent Breath Crystals with IsoVoxy

Box 2 hasn't updated yet, but it's the first box on that account so I kind of figured that. 

Excited for the Ruby Wing, BP Oil, & Dr. Brandt /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 

 

[queenofperil]

And they're up. I'm getting box 9. The polish is going to my sister, as per usual, and the oil is probably going into the trash. I can't make it to the post office ever to be able to do any trading, and I don't know anyone who'd use it. No idea why the Dr. Brandt Pore stuff is listed as a kit when we're only getting the one product. Kinda odd. 

 

[ILikeGiants]

Good news - my boxes updated!

Bad news - they are BOTH Box 51 (https://www.birchbox.com/shop/birchbox-1/february-2014/february-2014-bb51). 

*sigh* It's not a bad box, but I would have liked to try some different things. Oh, and my weights were 0.4500 and 0.4600, so you can have a little variation within one box type.

 

[Bizgirlva]

Anyone's box ever updated with the wrong content? My main sub box looks like it contains items from last month, but says Feb 2014, two items I've already sampled.

 

[Scooby Dynamite]

Womp womp - two of box #9

 

[Siriuslydemi]

This is my second month and I already got a repeat sample. I think I may cancel if all they send is the same thing each month.

Email or call them if u get a repeat of the exact same thing, they will fix it /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[ikecarus]

EHHHHH. Not loving either of my boxes this month. 

Main Account (Box #9): 

Ruby Wing Nail Polish 

Beauty Protector Oil

Juicy Couture Couture La La Malibu

32 Oral Care Breath Crystals

Dr. Brandt Camera Ready Kit (I assume this is the Pores No More sample...)

Second Sub (Box #20):

Sarahpotempa The Half Up (SERIOUSLY? lol this is honestly the one item I didn't want...)

Miracle Skin Transformer

Joan Vass L'eau de Opale

OPI Sheer Tint

32 Oral Care Breath Crystals

Definitely going to head over to the trade thread in the morning... (well, maybe closer to noon at this point haha).

Very bizarre box on my main account this month, some of the products I'd already had on my 2nd account and I like them, but still weird

2 Paula's choice serums, one in regular, one in ultralight?  I like the Pure lotions' though they are ketchup packets. I've used up  my last sample of the protector, I'll rock the headband in Zumba  and I could use a new liquid eyeliner.  Why I need 2 Paula's choice serums I'll never know.

So weird! I had a weight of 0.4500 on my main account and ended up with box 9 instead!

 

[page5]

February 2014 Shipping information available in your Account Settings. AYRES Bar Soap Buy Juara Candlenut Body Creme Beauty Protector Protect & Oil Juicy Couture Couture La La Malibu - 2.5 oz ElevenSkin Perfection Eye Cream & Concealer My box is sad. The only item I'm interested in trying is the eye cream. This is the third month in a row I've received body lotion. This is also my fourth product from beauty protector and I do not like the brand. And my fourth sample from juicy. BB needs some new brands. Too many products from the same brands month after month.

how strange!! I would appreciate the box overall but that doesn't mean it isn't strange lol.

For me and my 2nd sub (nixed the 1st for now) I will accept this profile and never touch it, as I am fine fine fine with this box! Got exact items I wanted! and crumbly breath mints, lol. It's great to be an "adventurous 28 year old" of indeterminate race with short thick hair and various skin issues /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I'm getting box 9, too. It actually looks like a good box to me! I love nail polish so I'm definitely happy with that. Anyone know what dr Brandt stuff we're getting? It has the kit listed, but doesn't say what we're getting. Unless I missed it somewhere, lol.
