Birchbox February 2014 (SPOILERS)

[bschlee]

Wow! I received my box a few days ago but disliked it so much/believed it didn't follow my profile at all, but I just checked my account and it turns out that that was not the box I was supposed to get!

The one I'm slotted for has

Klorane Gentle Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk (a repeat actually, I got this in June)

Paula's Choice RESIST BHA 9 for Stubborn Imperfections

Besame Cosmetics Classic Color Lipstick

Camille Beckman Body Butter

Under Armour Braided Mini Headband

While this still isn't my ideal box for this month, I'm glad that it's not 90% off the mark like the one I was sent was. I'm going to have to email to see about this straightened out.

Yikes though when I went to see what box this was, the link that previewed was for January's box 46... Hmm.

Does anyone who signed up for a new acct for the month have a box update?

I signed up towards the end of January.. kind of figured if I signed up & was charged on the 1st, it would just be like a normal month. But no shipping & no box update. 

I guess it's been a while since I had a 'new' account. I forget what's normal.

Dang it my 2nd month with more than 1 box and they're dupes! I have a 3rd that hasn't shipped yet, but I'm going to cancel account 2 once I gift account 1 $20 in points lol! My little sister got her box Saturday...we live in the same town and my boxes are still in NJ. Weird! ETA dupe box contents:

Spoiler

I got the mascara in a Sephora bonus bag thing and don't like it. The rest is pretty much winning, I wish the eyeshadow wasn't a card but whatev!

Caudalie S.O.S. Morning Eye Rescue

Bain de Terre passion flower COLOR PRESERVING SHAMPOO

Bain de Terre passion flower COLOR PRESERVING CONDITIONER

Harney & Sons Wrapped Tea Sachets

OPI Sheer Tints Color-Tinted Top Coat

I'm thrilled I got the OPI polish, and I also am looking forward to the morning eye rescue... But I realllllly didn't want another shampoo/conditioner set and I was hoping for some fake up, protect & oil, or pores no more. Or the half-up hair thingy! Bummer.
I'm sure someone will give you the half up thing, a lot of people didn't want it.

Mine isn't updated, it says "shipping soon" or some such.

Whish Body Butter
100% Pure Mascara
Sarah Potempta Half Up
Joan Vass perfume
Honey & Soms Tea

This is by far the worst box ever!! I think I said that last month but nope...I was wrong. It is this month. And this is a US weekly box??? Guess most of it is going to swaps. Sigh...
I would love that box. hahahaa /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> It's funny how we all like such different things.

You can gift points?! Geez after 6 months I still feel like I have so much to learn! I am *this* close to signing up for a second sub today just to see if I get more of what I was wishing for this month... Hmmm

I'm already checking the trading/swaps pages! Haha it's funny how different our tastes are and even with a profile we don't all get what we want... There should be a comments section each month where you can put what you're really wishing for!!

 

[Lorenk]

Will someone link the swap page? One was posted a few days ago, but when I went to it today I got redirected to the main swap/sell page...I'm not as skilled as some of you ladies 

 (that's my flattery face)

 

[SOSRedAlertSOS]

No clicky truck, no box update, it snowed more last night, today already blows! Gaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!

You gift them by buying an e-gift card with them! So I'll buy 2 $10 e-gifts cards and send them to account 1's email address. Clever MUT gals figured this out lol!

 

[camel11]

Terrible! On mutt main account, I got ruby wing for the second month in a row and Camille Beckman, hoe is this a special curated box? I understand getting color club twice, but getting two versions of color changing polish is the same!

Yay! You've just made up my mind haha. The only thing holding me back was that I was going to have 100 points on a separate account and I wanted them all on the same. I'm doing it!!!

Something seems to be amiss with Birch box. On my account its showing I'm getting two duplicates. Not sure if I will or they posted the wrong box to my account. I'll just wait to see what I get. Not too big of a deal, I know they'll probably fix it one way or another.

I don't know about the trading here at MUT, I like to trade at another site... I can PM you the link. Idk if it's against the rules to promote trading on other sites here in the forums?

This is what is listed for my box, #47. It's weird because I got the dry conditioner and nail rock last month, and I'm getting two of basically the same product in this box (the Paula's Choice). I know they can send different Nail Rocks to count as different samples, just weird they'd do it 2 months in a row.

 

[mrst909]

Well as I suspected I ended up getting dupe boxes this month. Both had weights of .410, and I got the benefit fakeup, big easy peely, agave healing oil treatment, Dr Brandt, and OPI. I'm pretty happy with these items (except the peely thing) but there were so many things I wanted to try this month, so definitely disappointed in getting total dupes on both accounts. I might have to make my way over to the trade/swap thread for the first time ever. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Wonky boxes?  I got the UA band last month on this account???

and the link is to a January box?
