[kawaiimeows]

hey y'all, just a reminder that the birchbox swap thread is here

https://www.makeuptalk.com/t/140811/birchbox-february-2014-swaps-thread

but keep in mind if your profile says you're getting dupes, it may be a glitch. so proceed with caution before rushing to the trade thread.

What box number do you have?

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" />

Box #56

 

[easybreezy]

My "glitch" box updated to the box 45:

Whish Three Whishes Body Butter
 
W3LL PEOPLE Universalist Multi-use Color Stick
 
SARAHPOTEMPA The HALF-UPâ„¢
 
Harney & Sons Wrapped Tea Sachets
 
Paula's Choice RESIST Super Antioxidant Concentrate Serum
I'll try everything, but I didn't get anything on my list of hopefuls.  I'm most excited about the W3ll People.  Curious to see how the half-up works in my hair.  I have been really lazy with styling my hair lately, so I hope it looks good!

https://www.birchbox.com/shop/birchbox-1/february-2014/february-2014-bb20 I feel like this is punishment! Half up, perfume, mints... I'm only excited for the nail polish, and I guess I will try the spotlight... But ew on the other stuff. Hoping my second box is better, but it hasn't updated yet.

Ok so my glitchy box finally updated.  I was showing box 45 from January and now showing box 45 from Feb which I'm very excited about!

I'll get to try the multi-use stick! That seems to be the Birchbox lottery! 

I still get to review these items for point too!  100 points this month, thanks for the glitch Birchbox!

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!

I received box 56 also. Pretty excited to try everything!

 Yep, I am getting the same box and what really kind of sucks is that I can't even use the Spotlight. I am allergic to chemical sunscreens (they give me awful headaches). I also cannot use floral scents for the same reason and my husband really doesn't like floral scents anyway. I wish if they were going to send out perfume they would send out gourmand ones/bakery scented ones. I like smelling like chocolate and cookies and cake and other sweets.

I might be able to use the Half Up. I'm trying to find some videos on how to use it in different ways (not a fan of the top knot styles). It would be nice to mix up my hair style a little bit ^_^ /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> And the top coat is 3 free which makes me happy. I just hope I get something besides the Amber one, but I can probably make that work too. And the breathe crystals don't sound so bad. They are aspartame free (from looking at the ingredients) which means I can use them since they won't irritate my migraines. I do a lot of events, art sales, etc and so fresh breathe is always a good idea even though I don't really have bad breathe issues.

Not my favorite box so far, but not worse than my welcome box at least.

OMG thank god. I had a glitch box. At first it said I was getting shampoo and conditioner, TEA (-looks horrified-), that 100% pure mascara I already got last month and this body creme.... Now I got this box and even though there's a peelie... It's still a better box than that nightmare glitch box. I already emailed birchbox though about the glitch box bc I thought I was getting that uh oh hope they don't think I'm crazy! Lmaooo My new box update: https://www.birchbox.com/shop/birchbox-1/february-2014/february-2014-bb44 Do you have any idea how long I've been wanting to try that benefit fake up? Very excited. Oh AND I reviewed my glitch box hahaha I hope I get to keep those points. Wink!

Mine too, for the same box! Woo!!

 

[pinkcrayon]

box 34 on my main account (don't think i've seen this one yet, but this page has been moving so fast i might have missed it!)

Benefit It's Potent! Eye Cream
 - i got a sample of this from an ulta GWP purchase back on cyber monday and i think i'm getting another one with their most recent GWP. i don't hate it, but i haven't noticed a different. BUT if it is in a mini version of jar, i'll be excited and can reuse it
 
W3LL PEOPLE Universalist Multi-use Color Stick
 - super excited about this. please don't be red.
 
Serge Normant Meta Revive Dry Conditioner - curious to try this.
 
Juicy Couture Couture La La Malibu - 2.5 oz
 - meh. not a perfume person, but it is the first one i've had in my 5 months with BB so i can't complain.
 
Benefit Big Easy
 - i actually want to try this. i'm sad it's a peelie though and really hope it's not too dark so i can at least think about buying it if i like it

the box i signed up for with the 200 point glitch hasn't updated. boo. but i'd rather have the extra points! maybe i'll actually be surprised with this one!!!

I received box 56 also. Pretty excited to try everything!

I'm getting box 56 too. Super happy with it.

Booo -- I hate that everyone is so happy to get W3LL people! That means there won't be any to swap..... Selfish MUTer right here.

Yay! My last box shipped... but the contents haven't updated. I bet I get more Ruby Wing

I don't like hearing this either. That's what I wanted most. I also am not getting OPI, at least based on my first 2 boxes. 2 left to go. Getting nervous about those 2 items. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[klg534]

Oh boy! For the first time in my double box history I am getting a duplicate box! Two of these bad boys! It looks like a full box trade is on my horizon! 

 

[AshJs3]

Aww man! My box updated so it must have been a glitch box. No Liz Earl for me. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> It did update to that Camera Ready kit though. Do we have any idea what that sample looks like?
