Birchbox February 2014 (SPOILERS)

[dressupthedog]

Did anyone get a OPi sheer tint polish in any color other than Magenta (reddish tint) ? It seems I'm getting a bottle in all 3 of my boxes this month. Not sure I will even use one let alone 3... If I get all the same, if anyone doesn't get any and is interested let me know.. Otherwise it will collect dust in my drawer lol.

I got I'm Never Amberrassed.

I might be able to salvage the polish, Coola, and mascara, but there are a lot of glass shards everywhere! I emailed them and included a picture, so we'll see what they do.


I just got the exact same box, and while my serum bottle wasn't shattered, it did work it's way open and leaked all over.  No pillow case.  Really, really crappy packaging this month.

Did you two get box #51 this month? I emailed to ask about the Ruby Wing polish because I already got it last year in pink/purple, and they assured me that it would be a different shade.

You only get 10 points for the first box.  You don't get them for monthly renewals.  If you do a yearly subscription you get 110 points in one lump sum, though.
Aw, okay. Thank you for letting me know!
Haha, another reason to get the annual subscription next year! ^_^ /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Thanks for telling me about the difference between deodorants and antiperspirants! I just thought that they were synonymous. The swipe sounds nice that it's reusable and gets rid of food/smoke odors. I might be able to use them afterall if I go to eat KBBQ haha. 

let us know if they work for KBBQ.. my roommate would love me forever if I found something for the smell lol

I signed up for a 2nd and 3rd subscription for the us weekly points and filled out profiles completely different but am getting 2 identical boxes. I'm bummed. There is no way I will use both of any of the products except possibly the perfume /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I am working on my profile on this site since I am new I can not post on trade forum yet /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Anybody have any advise ?

Oh that's encouraging... Hopefully I won't get all the same. Thank you for your response. Gives me a little hope

Yes - box 51.  I was REALLY hoping it would be a sparkly one.  FWIW, I'm pretty sure it's a slightly different shade than last year's.  Not very different, but still different.

Next LE box?

 

[feisty1]

I want one!

I am working on my profile on this site since I am new I can not post on trade forum yet

Anybody have any advise ?

My identical box pics :

My two new subs were also both this box. I don't think they took the profiles into consideration for the first box. I know someone here said she didnt fill out the profile and still got this. Someone else said they had two completely different profiles and both her subs were this one (one of them was even a 19yo and is still receiving the anti-aging serum).  

I've heard that the most important parts of the profiles are the style (choose as few as possible -- either classic/natural or adventurous/trendy since they're the least confusing for the people selecting your box) and the income. Apparently higher income will get you more expensive samples.Good luck!

Many have also said it can take a month or two for your survey answers to take effect. My first box I got I hated, but the next month was absolutely perfect for me so see how next month is.

I think everyone getting the Hello/SkinCo/OPI/BP oil/tea box is a new subscription/2nd acct.? Or at least most of us?  I wonder if new subbies only get like 2 or 3 variations.  Also interesting that @usofjessamerica said you didn't fill out the profile on yours, cause I did and we are getting the same box.  So I'm thinking the new subs defaulted to this and maybe a few other variations only.  Either that, or we're all in the naughty club for the 200 point glitch and they didn't want us having any fun :laughing:  

I am getting this box as well, and it also updated last night. I got it on my main account, the one that I've had for 17 months now. The only difference is that I canceled my yearly sub and got the monthly one.

That makes sense... Thanks. So I may have to try all 3 boxes for another month before I consider canceling

I'm kind of annoyed. My box has just been sitting at the post office since early yesterday! The delivery date is Friday.. whyyyy

My boxes keep bouncing between Atlanta and Memphis!  Just because I am in TN does not mean throw it on the truck going to the exact opposite side of the state!  I am closer to Atlanta than Memphis!  Oh well--it will eventually settle down.

The impending bad weather in Georgia may not be of any help to your box :

Yep!  It is just funny at this point.  We are now set for 4-7 inches ourselves, so I do not expect to see it for a while. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I have two different sub boxes saying they're in Atlanta right now....I'm a little concerned.

The "Snowpacolypse" (spelling?) pt. 1 resulted in a girl I know being stuck on the highway for ELEVENN hours, just trying to get home from work

I love the smell of KBBQ...even the lingering smell, because it makes me reminisce about the awesome meal that I consumed...

LOL - I'm in TN too and my box went from LaVergne (outside of Nashville) to Memphis!  I'm in Nashville so they passed right by me to bring it to Memphis
