Birchbox February 2014 (SPOILERS)

[kawaiiwoofs]

I'm so curious about how people like/dislike pores no more. My Sephora Fairy Godmother (regular at the Starbucks I worked at when I was 16. She gave me tons of free make up, did my face for all major events... Definitely did not understand the value of things she was giving me!) gave me a full size of Pores No More right when it first came out or was first repacked or something. My face broke out like CRAZY! It made me so sad!

I'm curious o know what people think as well. I feel like anything that is meant to cover up the look of pores is just asking for trouble.

My second account finally updated with shipping! Pretty sure it was shipped Newgistics because it didn't open to the UPS MI applet. Does that seem right? I can't really tell just by looking at the tracking number.

I'm curious to see how many uses I can get out of it. It was jarring to pick up a huge tube and feel how light it is.

So my shipping updated, but not my box! I'm new here.... are there any tricks to figure out what box I'm getting??

I think that is what is happening with me as well. I put my tracking # into newgistics's site and it works. 

Damn.

My page hasn't updated to Feb either.

My last box also shipped newgistics...I'm sure that' significant, but my brain doesn't know why.

Significant because they attach the boxes to real snails for delivery. 

Not really, but it does seem odd they are using multiple shipping methods. One account is shipping from NJ the other from NY.

Ugh, but Newgistics is so slow. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Why are they doing this to us?

For example, my Welcome box was shipped via Newgistics on Feb 5th and it won't be delivered until (probably) tomorrow (or maybe Wednesday). However, my Account #1 box was shipped via UPS MI on Feb 5th (same day) and arrived on the 8th. 

Yuck.

Ohhhhhh, you're right! My other box came from NY and this one is coming from NJ. What's up with that?!

I'm hoping it is because our samples require different shipping methods (like nail polish or aerosols or something) and not because BB is going back to Newgistics for all shipping.

Looks like I'm getting box 37:

Ruby wing (yay)

Miracle Skin Transformer SPF (Willing to try)

Caudalie Make-up remover (have been wanting to try this for months!)

Beauty Protector, protect and oil (want to try)

Juicy perfume (will send to a good home, lol)

Overall a great month for me.

My second box updated with tracking via newgistics. Means no box weight. =o( Hoping it's not a dupe!

 

[celiajuno]

I think I am the only one who prefers Newgistics. It always gets to me faster than UPSMI because it does not go through Atlanta. My packages like to vacation in Atlanta.

Seems like all the people who cancelled and resubbed for the 100 points are being shipped this way?

 

[hitchcockblonde]

I'm getting:
Bain de Terre Passion Flower Color Preserving Shampoo
Bain de Terre Passion Flower Color Preserving Conditioner
Miracle Skin Transformer Face Spotlight SPF 20
StriVectin Retinol Eye Treatment
Oral Care Effervescent Breath Crystals

Probably my worst box yet :/ Wrinkle cream, breath mints, and color preserving shampoo...are you trying to tell me something, Birchbox? /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I've had something similar...the website still shows my January contents, but the iPad app says my February box has shipped and included tracking history... Try looking in the iPhone/iPad app...it might show your products...I've had luck with that in the past, but not this time around!!

Mine is a brand new subscription that I started on Jan 31st, so maybe the Newgistics is for people who used the USWEEKLY code late in the month of Jan (including new subs and resubs)? Or, like @TheNewMrsRivers said, maybe it has to do with nail polish and/or aerosols.

Both of my subs are monthly, haven't been started with a code & are at least 2+ months in /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[CheekyQ]

Will the new US Weekly subs not update on the box? Mine have shipped but I can't see what I'm getting.

Well found out I was suppose to get the Dr. Brandt kit, well they sent me just the Pores no more. Did anyone else who was suppose to get the kit just get the Pores No More? Just courious?
