so my box is STILL showing I'm getting Ruby Wing when I already had it in January's box .. I thought we didn't get dupes two months in a row for the same account? Is this common? A mistake?

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? :p /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
LOL Mine is the same, except instead of breath mints, I am getting a perfume sample. If it was from a real person, they would be hinting that your breath stinks, and I stink, generally.

You could be getting a different shade. That doesn't count as a dupe. I think somewhere earlier someone said they had the glitter polish showing up in their box but got the non glitter one.

Yup, I got a non-glitter ruby wing this month.

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?
I was also supposed to get the kit, but I think the Pores No More is the sample we're supposed to get. Meh. :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
I'm starting to worry a little bit, as my main box has not updated from January yet. Is anyone else still seeing their January box? :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Thanks for the info! To me it counts as a dupe because if I received any color previously, I've already had the chance to sample it you know? For a sample subscription it seems odd to me. The plus side however is that the Ruby Wing polish was my favorite item in my January box :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

You're absolutely right.  I also got two months of RW in a row.  While I do understand it isn't technically a "dupe" under their definition, I still plan on complaining given the unique nature of this polish.  It's  one thing to get two regular nailpolishes in a row, or two different perfumes, but this is really insane and lazy, imho.

  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.  
The Caudalie is really great stuff! I got it in my box a few months back and I would definitely buy the full size of it.

I had just responded before I saw your post! Yes, I already got the chance to try out the Ruby Wing Color Changing polish (which btw, I have not been able to get it to color change yet! Have you? Is it because of my top coat? I use Seche Vite) so any color I receive isn't anything new-I already know I like the formula, the sample size, etc etc

Probably what you said. I resubbed and mine is going through Newgistics. And I can't see what's in my box either yet.

 
My both my 2nd sub and my main account are going through upsmi, only my 2nd was an usweekly promo. I'm thinking it more has to do with which warehouse it shipped from/ contents in the box.

Actually -- I didn't like the idea of it the first time, so I traded it right away.  And now I get to trade it again!

 
Ahh! I'm not that pleased about this box...
400
I'm not that upset about getting shampoo and conditioner... But I am a little upset about getting it two months in a row!

 
My second sub was a US Weekly but early enough for the January Box, and it was shipped UPSMI and has updated contents.  My third box (I feel silly admitting such things) was ordered on 1/30 with the 200 point promo and is shipped newgistics and there aren't updated contents available for my impatient eyes yet.

 
I just want to jump up and down because I am getting the Coastal Scents quad. I have really been wanting to try this brand!!! Also getting Fekkai shampoo/conditioner, Harvey Prince perfume and breath mints. I will totally take this box.

This has always been how they've done things. Same reason we get color club a lot (and ruby wing is owned by color club). I think they just have a strong relationship with this brand so they regularly sample their products, since I've been getting them for two years.

Same for me as well! Both subs this month were ordered under the US Weekly promo, and they've both shipped Newgistics, can't see box weight, and contents haven't uploaded.  

Not complaining, because I brought it on myself, but curiosity is totally killing me right now!  At this point, I'm just hoping they're not dupes!
