Birchbox February 2014 (SPOILERS)

[1BrainyBrunette]

Ugh...Birchbox hates me this month!

Still no clicky truck, my box hasn't updated on the website (it still shows Jan's box), and the app trick isn't working either : (

I better be rewarded with a good box this month!

Disappointed I'm getting a dupe in my Feb box… a dry shampoo I received last month!  And I didn't even like it!  Grrrr 

 When I click on the February box picture it brings me to a link for January's box 46.

Box 9 here - not in love and don't hate it either. I will certainly use everything. And hair oils like that last me forever because I only use a little bit when I straighten it. I'll post a picture of it this afternoon since it should be here then.

This is definitely a glitch!  I have been stalking the instagram birchbox tag and I have not seen any january boxes sent out.  It is happening to so many people- none of whom have received their boxes yet- that it has to be just a glitch in the computer system.  Don't lose hope yet!

I'll keep my hopes up.  Will just have to wait to receive my box before I e-mail customer service.  I just reviewed all the items so at least I get the points if it changes!

Anyone know how big (small) the Benefit eye-cream sample is?


Whish Three Whishes Body Butter Benefit It's Potent! Eye Cream Miracle Skin Transformer Face Spotlight SPF 20 Beauty Protector Protect & Oil 32 Oral Care Effervescent Breath Crystals with IsoVoxy - 60 Count
If it's the same one they sent out before, it's 0.1 oz.  Full-sized is 0.5 oz.  And it's in a miniature version of the full-sized jar, so it's unbelievably adorable!

My main account is showing January box #48, which has one repeat product for me (the UA headband), but honestly, I'd be OK with it (the 2 Paula's choice serums, UA headband, BP detangler, 100% pure body lotion and the CR eyeliner).  TBH, I'd almost be disappointed if this ends up being a mistake.  I LOVE the BP protector/detangler and have swapped for it, but this is the first time I've ever actually gotten it in a box.

My second account is February box #39, which I'm also good with.  This is the first time I'm getting the Ruby Wings, and I'll probably use the Agave treatment more as a mask.  I'm always glad to get hand lotion.  As for the Smashbox stuff, meh, whatever.  I've got a bazillionty-zillion mascara samples at this point -- I wish they'd send a mascara sample in a color other than black, though.  If the cardboard palette is good for even one use, I can always take it on an overnight work trip and cut down on the stuff.  As long as I can review these for points, not problem.

I opened a 3rd account to get the USWeekly points.  Nothing there yet -- just shows that I'm getting a Feb. box.

This is what my account is showing too!  Like you, the headband would be a dupe.  Interesting

Getting box 38 on my account with no profile info...

Getting box 58 on my real account with all of my info (except age)

I'm pleased with both boxes. Hopefully I like the Harvey prince perfume. This makes up for January's crappy box on my real account.

My main box hasn't updated yet - probably getting punished for resubbing for the 200 points. 2nd box- Harvey Prince hello 100% pure fruit pigmented mascara Bain de terre passion flower color preserving shampoo bain de terre passion flower color preserving conditioner juara candlenut body creme 3rd box- liz earle cleanse polish hot cloth cleanser starter kit klorane shampoo with desert date soak handmaid hand cream coastal scents revealed eyeshadow palette (DUPE!) under armour braided mini headband Happy with my second box. Angry that I have a dupe in my 3rd box- already emailed them about it! Now my inner debate for next month is if I want to keep my 3rd box for next month or not. With my ipsy bag I'm already hitting $40 a month for subs... '

The interesting thing is, those who are getting the "January" boxes have 6 items, while most of us have 4. Little bummed based on all the hype

BUT neither of my boxes have updated- not my main account that I have never cancelled nor my second one were I resubscribed.
that's what i was afraid of!  thanks!  if it doesn't update by the time i get it i'll email so i can be sure to review!

Your 3rd box is the exact box I got last month. It might be part of the glitch that others have mentioned.

Box 26 here:

-Ayres Bar Soap

-Miracle Skin Transformer

-Agave Healing Oil Treatment

-Juicy Couture Couture La La Malibu

-OPI Sheer Tints

I'm pretty satisfied with my box, I mostly just wanted the OPI! I am so super swimming in hair stuff right now, though... I was going to go uncheck it from my profile and it's not even checked to begin with. HA.

Is it weird that I'm excited about the breath crystals? I think they sound interesting!

I too would like to try those!

I also have two dupes (headband, beauty protect and detangle) and getting the January 48 box. 

Super disappointed, but hoping its a glitch.

I emailed them.  I realized that I actually have 2 dupes.  Lets see what they say...

 

[Sheeeeeelby]

Oh noo. My box hasn't updated. My yearly sub did just end within the past month but I quickly signed back up for monthly so HOPEFULLY I'm getting the Feb box.

Well It looks like I am getting the Coola Tinted Matte, Ruby Wing polish, Smashbox Mascara, Beauty Protector Oil, and the Smashbox shadow card. The only thing I will use is the shadow card... and that is pretty bad. I have very dry skin, so even if the Coola is my shade it will make my skin look dry... I use moisturizing/luminizing products... not matte. I don't wear nail polish, I've tried the Smashbox mascara and it smears on me (I can only wear blinc), and I am swimming in hair oils right now. Looks like I need to refresh my trade page. Le Sigh.
