My main acct and second sub have not updated from january boxes! Sooooooo impatient it is driving me insane! I just want to know!!!!!!!

 
Oh man, I just love this page...after reading the last few entries regarding newgistics and boxes not updating, I'm going to use my reasoning skills to determine that I'm getting some sort of nail polish or aerosol since mine is shipping out of NJ via newgistics, too! (This will be my third box in a month-to-month sub, no promos used!)

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!
as long as i don't have box dupes i'm ok!  but if i do have dupes, like you said i brought it on myself - and for a free $40 in the bb shop, i'm not going to complain much if i do have dupes!

eh that has no bearing - ups ground will still ship aerosols and polish - none of our shipments go air unless you pay for it in the bb shop!

 
Yeh -- my first sub (unfortunately) has the Ruby Wing polish, but is sent the other method.  

 
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. 
With the exception of the breath mints, this was my January box! Hope you love the fekkai and perfume as much as I do!!!
 
Girls, I've gotten two emails today already from Birchbox thanking me for referring people who I've never even heard of. I'm not complaining, as these two random referrals have earned me $10 already, but I have no idea how this is happening? Has this ever happened to anyone else??

Bummer! I figured this had to be the reason why I had a newgistics tracking number and no product updates on my Account page...
 
I got my tracking info, but my box hasn't been uploaded yet...for once it might actually be a surprise!

 
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 am really bummed this month with this box! The oil I can't use on my hair as I need volume not to be conditioned or weighted down, the NOT Dr. Brandt Kit, the tini tiny bottle of OPI sheer stuff, 2 Benefit things of which I hate that company! And one a cardboard with nothing on it and the fake up has just enough to make a little line across and then ended scratching my face from trying to get the tiny bit of product on it. Really is a useless box!!! Again!!! Boohoo!!! : ). (The smiles for you Rachel!!!)

I was surprised to see my ruby wing wasnt a glitter polish. Excited about the pores no more because I do have bad pores and I've never tried the pore-fessional by benefit either. The perfume isn't bad. The hair oil smells soooo good. The mints will get used.


This is the same box that I'm getting on my second account.

 




Looks good, I was scared I had dupe boxes when I got the emails at the same time, but I think they send out emails for the last waves all at the same time even if they haven't shipped them yet, so as to fulfill their promise of being shipped by the 10th 

I am so stoked to finally get the 1/2 up. I don't know exactly what it does, but I have been jelly of it for months.

 
So my second sub has the Benefit Fake up, Benefit Big easy, OPI tint, Agave healing oil AND THIS - Dr. Brandt Exclusive Camera Ready Kit. 

Does all this come in the kit and count as one item????? I thought I would be upset if I got the Benefit Big easy bc I know it's one of those lifting cards, but if this is also included in my box, I will be very happy if it has all of this!!! WoW!!! Does anyone know???

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" />
Got the same box and I second your sentiments.

That's my box as well - is there one set of colors in the quad, or are there several color variations, do we know??

Also your enthusiasm for the box is making me smile because I'm bummed about the shampoo and conditioner (I REALLY wanted skin care!) but really, it could have been worse and in my "trade" pile I now have a ton of hair stuff, lol

What colors were in your CS quad??

(mine has been delivered but I'm at work and can't wait to get home to see for myself....)

 
Are they still sending out Nail Rock this month, or am I about to go off topic?

I decided to try out the pink glitter on my toenails, since it is winter and I can hide them if it went wrong, and also no one seemed to want to trade for it. I'm glad I tried it. FYI, the sheer pink base coat that comes with the glitter is not sheer enough to use as a top coat. I ended up using Traffic-Stopper-Copper (OPI) since it is already glitter, and it looks really pretty. I have no idea if it will last, and the texture is so rough, it would drive me crazy on my fingernails, but for toenails it is pretty.

I think I figured out why they posted the kit rather than the actual Pores No More. My hub got PNM in his box this month and as I was reviewing our items, it hit me that I could only do the Dr Brandt once, but when I looked at his box vs mine, there were different links for the same item and it allowed me to still rate the item twice. So, maybe....?

That's a good theory. And here I thought they were just trying to advertise a more-expensive kit to us shopaholics! hahaha
