  https://www.birchbox.com/shop/birchbox-1/february-2014/february-2014-bb51 so thats my box, not a bad box only down side its the 2nd month in a row that both my boxes are the same box....dont really need 2 of everything
This seems to be my box as well. I got the ruby wing polish last month. I hope its the hot pink one, I will use that one. Everything else is going on my trade list. This is a sad month for me. This isn't a bad box though. This just isn't my cup of tea.

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.
Check your box again. This is what I saw a few minutes ago too but it's changed now. I'm not sure which one I like better. Hmm...

Box triplets!

[quote name="brittainy" url="/t/140215/birchbox-february-2014-spoilers/1470#post_2281664"] Box Twins! Errrr...triplets? I'm disappointed the Smashbox palette is a cardboard sample...but other than that I am happy! error cardboard sample??? I'm getting sick of these small packets.foil and cardboard samples

I just remembered that today was the 10th....got soooo excited to check my page and it's still showing January...what a bummer! The anticipation and incessant page refreshing will continue...

 

[MUHoarder]

Box quadruplets - shampoo/conditioner, miracle skin stuff, Strivectin eye cream and the breath "pop rocks."  could be worse, could be better. Love the polish i'm seeing others getting.

Yep, my main acct is showing the same thing as your 3rd box.  I went ahead and reviewed for points then emailed Birchbox about it, I have already sampled the Liz Earle in Oct and the Coastal Quad in January, I highly doubt this is the box that's headed my way.  I wouldn't be totally bummed if it is, but won't mind hoping for a better Feb box.  I already have tracking on this box, so I should know soon, if Birchbox can't or won't update my page to whatever I am supposed to be getting.
 
My account page says this box is January's box 45, if I am really getting Feb's box 45 I'll be pretty pleased.

I actually want to try the half up hair thing, much rather have that over hair oil I won't use (I'm getting hair oil in one of my other boxes so it's going up for trading).
 
Anyone wonder if this glitch is related to the updated billing glitch earlier this month?  Maybe not, but this was the account that said I needed to update my billing info.  I never did, since I had a pending charge on my account.  I assumed everything was fine, since I never got an email from Birchbox.
 
Anyway, we'll see what they say.

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...

I didn't even know it was possible for me to get a box this wrong for me. I've had a bad week, so I was hoping for a cheer up with this box. On the plus side, the perfume sample sounds nice.


Bain de Terre passion flower COLOR PRESERVING SHAMPOO - allergic to monoi Bain de Terre passion flower COLOR PRESERVING CONDITIONER - allergic to monoi Miracle Skin Transformer Face Spotlight SPF 20 - will try StriVectin-ARâ„¢ Advanced Retinol Night Treatment - Can't use Retinol on my skin at all Joan Vass L'eau de Opale - sounds nice
Monoi is such a great ingredient, too. It smells wonderful and was used by the native Hawaiians for all kinds of things. I'm sad that I'm allergic to it, but it's not so bad. I had a step dad who was allergic to cheese, and that was way worse for him. I also have a friend who is allergic to lemon. Can you imagine? I don't know how she could eat out at all with that allergy.

This is showing up as my box on both accounts!  Are they trying to get me to cancel one of my subs?  This couldn't be worse for me.  I really hope my box page updates again!

I wouldn't be opposed to it!  I didn't have a problem with it earlier this morning when both boxes were the "glitch" one with the UA headbands, Beauty Protector spray, etc.  I think they are punishing me!

For those of you who were showing the "glitch" box, check your account. Mine finally updated to the correct items.

Mine still shows a Jan box.  But seems like they are working on it.  Thanks!

 

[camel11]

If I were ruby wing, what's the point of having BB send one subscriber the only two versions of my nail polish available in the BB shop? Ideally, you would hope that a subscriber would get one color variation, like it, and buy the other.  Sending me BOTH options to sample, what is the point of that?

 

[katiecoll]

This box is actually a 3 month gift sub, so I don't know if had anything to do with the billing glitch. They gave me my tracking number for this box already too. Let us know what they tell you!

 

[Spazkatt]

I hate my box this month I got the Liz Earle hot cloth kit again! I got it last month and my skin breaks out from it. Plus I got a third juicy perfume in 3 months, and the fruit mascara /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />. Sent from my SCH-S968C using Tapatalk

Uh, so, has anyone received a box with the W3LL one/color stick thingy in it yet?

I ask because I saw a box photo on FB here and based on what the person said, it seems like the sample comes in a little paint-pot type of container. Seriously it reminds me of the paints that used to come in Paint-by-Number sets when I was a kid. The packaging looks very unprofessional in this photo! Then again, it's just one picture, it might not actually be the W3LL product... so I'm wondering if anyone has actually seen the sample yet. 

 

[Kittylasmu]

Bound to happen--I finally got a box I am less than thrilled about.



The sheer polish--is it a polish or a top coat or? Both? And I am NOT a tea fan at all, so that goes in to the pot at work. I guess the shampoo/conditioner will be for travel and I suppose I can start at eye routine. Blarg--where is my Juicy perfume? lol

It probably is -- that's how W3LL people sends their samples in other sub boxes.

Eeek!  

 I'm not a packaging snob by any means, but that just seems so uncute.

1 of my boxes has updated and one of them still shows my January box...is that normal?

Either way here's the one I'm getting:



I can't say this is a very good bag for me, but not a horrific one, either. I got fakeup in my other box and I'm enjoying it, so it's nice to have a spare. The OPI I'm also excited about because if you can believe it, I don't have a single OPI polish in my collection! Too busy gathering up Butter London. The other 3 things can go die in a fire. a pillow pack of hair oil (have a zillion) a tube of crappy Dr. Brandt (not a fan of their products) and a piece of cardboard with a finger-swipe worth of a sample on it. MEH.

My main account box hasn't updated and that is a bit worrisome to me. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
