Birchbox February 2014 (SPOILERS)

[meganbernadette]

So weird... Something weird is definitely going on- when I logged on to my mom’s account it said she was getting January’s box 48 under the February link- The picture even showed a January box.

My main sub box looks like it contains items from last month, but says Feb 2014, two items I've already sampled.
My February box is showing that I'm receiving one of January's boxes also.. I was debating on contacting CS about it.

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.

This is my box too. I got Nail Rock last month (and traded for 3 more!) and the 2 serums are super weird. I like the box but will be emailing them for sure if this is what I get.

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!!

HOW weird. I thought for sure my sister was getting this, based on weight 0.41. I was disappointed that she'd be getting the half up because my other sister had already received it and it didn't work out well, but it turns out I'm the one getting to half up. I'm getting almost the exact same box except its opi instead of whish. And my box was 0.38. My sister is getting Toni guy, Ahmad tea (again), fruit mascara, and jaura body cream.

NOOOO BIRCHBOX HOW CAN YOU DO THIS TO MEEEE? Second new sub. I guess I can't complain if I already got the box for my main sub on Friday...

Harvey Prince Hello

Coastal Scents palette

Fekkai Shampoo and conditioner

Breath mints

I'm really sad!  I really want skin care items, lotions, eye creams, serums, etc and this month was packed with potentials but I didn't get any. The one sector I don't use is hair product and I've gotten two in each box since I've joined! Argh. 

I get that it's a gamble and I'm willing to trade off the hair stuff, but I just wish it wasn't so consistently half my box. Boo.

I do like the Coastal Scents palette though and happy to try the perfume!

Me too!

After accepting that I was getting shampoo/conditioner this month (which actually doesn't bother me, I must be the only person who likes getting them), I actually narrowed down my box to this one and box 4.  Pretty good for a second-time BBer!

While I'm sad about not getting anything from the USWeekly deal, I'm pretty happy with this box.  Even the breath mints!  A medication I'm on has a halitosis side effect and I'm always looking for fun, EFFECTIVE, breath solutions.   CS and Harvey Prince - Hello are both on my "want" list, so all around I'm a happy girl.  Strange how one person's disappointment can be cause for someone else's celebration!  Hopefully it's you with the "win" next month!

When do the new subs upload? I've had a rough morning with ipsy sending lashes, eyeshadow ( the two things I never use) , and acne gel(not excited), and now half up and perfume from birchbox. I hope the two new subs can cheer me up.

IDK -- I can't believe they'd send NailRock/Ruby wing to the same account twice in a row. Especially in a "curated" box.  This just seems like "get rid of leftovers".   Your February Products

This might be the first time I'm disappointed in my BB :icon_neut   https://www.birchbox.com/shop/birchbox-1/february-2014/february-2014-bb28 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.

Twinsies! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I'm actually soooort of OK with this box, I loooooove OPI and really wanted to try those top coats, Passion Fruit shampoo and conditioner sound yummy, eye rescue sound intriguing but um....tea /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I don't drink tea ::le sigh:: Oh well, four out of five isn't too bad!

Well, happy anniversary for me...FEbruary last year, I received the Beauty Protector detangler. I'm getting it again this month. Has anyone ever gotten a duplicate of anything before, even an entire calendar year apart? And Did you address it with Birchbox--and how?

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. 
I'm in the exact same situation! Signed up on the 31st, got a shipping date of the 10th, and I have no updates on that new account. Wahhh.

I'm actually soooort of OK with this box, I loooooove OPI and really wanted to try those top coats, Passion Fruit shampoo and conditioner sound yummy, eye rescue sound intriguing but um....tea

I don't drink tea ::le sigh:: Oh well, four out of five isn't too bad!

In fact, passion fruit sounds really delicious... I'll probably end up loving the shampoo/conditioner once I try it! It's not so much that I didn't want them, as I was hoping more for other things. I love tea so I'm not super bummed about the tea, but I did receive tea in November so again I was just hoping for something else. You can't win them all though! I've been super happy with my boxes the past 6 months so I was bound to get a meh box at some point. And I too LOVE OPI so this makes me very happy /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I know there were some people saying they actually wanted tea so if I were you, if you can't gift it to a friend, I'd head over to try and trade!

 

[Lolo22]

This is my box also. I am e-mailing BB about it now to see if it's a glitch or not. When I pull up my box link it shows that for February I'm receiving an old January box. :/

Seems like it must be a glitch if 3 of us getting January products with repeats in it. Lol I think I will review them quick for the points in case they change.

Oh definitely! It shall be given to a good and loving tea home! lol It will be teadopted, hahaha!

 

[Mommy0408]

I'm getting box 47, I'm pretty bummed to be getting two of pretty much the same products, and two repeats from last month... I'm really hoping it's a glitch, I want to try at least one new item! At least it doesn't seem like I'm the only one getting a crappy box this month. It's just a bummer, I was really excited to try some of the new stuff they were promoting.

is it on the same account? have you canceled this account within the past year? you should email them and just let them know you've gotten that same item in the past. someone did say though that this happened to her BUT she did cancel at one point and re-subbed which kinda resets everything apparently so BB didn't help her. its worth dropping them a note though!
