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!!!)

Me, Rachel?

To get an empty box or empty products is just ridiculous! If I'd had half as bad of an experience as you have I would cancel without blinking. It's nice that you do give away all the stuff you don't want, and I guess $10/month isn't THAT much to spend on the excitement and fun of a surprise box of goodies each month... But man, I'd be so bummed if I hated every box I got!

I am not thrilled with my box this month either, but it's not terrible. I shouldn't have looked at spoilers and seen what other great things were out there b/c I ended up just wanting them and being disappointed when I didn't get them. Maybe next month I'll try to go spoiler free!

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.

All I can think of is how you managed to dip your toes into the glitter pot???

I couldn't do it on my whole hand, but I did just a pink glitter accent nail and it turned out really cute. With a good top coat it shouldn't be rough /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Oh also, I looked at my points history and was given 100 pts on 2/4 for a reason unknown to me. It just said, "sorry: sample issue" but I know I've not had any issues. Maybe that was given to those who got the Benefit peelie.

How do you know if your box is an US weekly box? I thought all of them were

That would be nice, BUT I'm getting it and I have no mystery points /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

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???

I,hate to tell you I was also suppose to get the kit. All they sent was the Pores no More. No kit.

My profile also showed this kit but I received only the Pores No More. I really don't think anyone was supposed to get anything more than the PNM. But maybe someone should ask Birchbox for a clarification rather than being upset by it. I won't ask because I don't care whether I get the kit or not, but I think anyone upset by it should definitely ask BB for an explanation. Edit: Just saw that kit retails for $42. No way they were sending the entire kit to any subbers!

I'm getting box 28, caudalie sos eye cream (yay!), passion flower shampoo/conditioner (in between brands right now, so a good time to try it), opi polish, tea (as long as it isn't black tea I'm fine with it, love tea)

There are other things I wanted to try, but I'm happy with this box.  Better than the last two boxes! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

https://www.birchbox.com/shop/birchbox-1 Kinda bummed!

 

[kira685]

I think the kit is showing up because it's "special" for BB and if you like the product, they want you to buy the kit. At least, that's what I gathered from the way they introduced the kit in the spoiler video while they were talking about the Pores No More sample being in some boxes this month. 

 

[kawaiimeows]

I thought it was pretty obvious they weren't sending out the full kit, that's like expecting a full size perfume bottle because that's what's pictured.

haha yeah, but there does seem to be confusion over it..

 

[TheGlamGal]

Hmmm, so the box has completely changed from what it showed this morning and quite franking I hope that they are both wrong.  I don't think it was possible but it went from bad to worse.  Sigh.  My tracking info still doesn't give any indications.  

 

[Spiritwind10]

When someone show a picture of a kit and says that's what you get, then that's what I would expect to get! If your just sending me the tube then say it. Don't misrepresent your product or yourself.

My thoughts exactly.

But they showed the tube in the spoilers video. I just wouldn't expect to get a 45 dollar product plus other samples for only 10 bucks. Unless BB wanted to go out of business.

If they had sent out the "whole kit" they would have all been foils. I'd prefer the one item, although I know it was said it's rather empty

That's kind of what I initially expected to get when I first saw the product on some box pages.
