Birchbox February 2015 (Spoilers)

[Kelli]

My email came at 7:45 (it says it came at 7pm, but I checked my email at like 7:20, 7:25 and 7:30 and it wasn't in my inbox until I checked at 7:45).

So excited about the curated box. I really want theBalm, Sumita & Not Soap, Radio. After seeing the video I figured the Fekkai was like a heat protectant or straightening spray/balm or something because of the "Blowout" a little bummed that it's dry shampoo since I've got a lot of that, but still the fact that 3 items I REALLY want, a scrub that I always am willing to try more of and one meh item is a super win for me. Never had a box this great.

Grrr! I still did not receive my e-mail /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Last month's page is there, ready to be used but I do not want to face the consequences. Come on Birchbox!

What are the consequences?

I picked the curated box and I am super excited. I think it has a really good balance of items and I'm really looking forward to theBalm lip gloss and the navy eyeliner.

I picked the sea spray. I normally complain about hair products but that is mainly directed at shampoo and conditioner. I don't mind treatments and oils and shine things. I am actually excited to try this. I just hope the rest of my box will be good!

Finally got PYS at 6:15 PST.  Went with curated box!

I took a screenshot of when I selected my sample because I don't trust Birchbox. I'm being overly paranoid.

I picked the mascara for no other reason than not wanting to risk getting the sea salt spray or the makeup remover. I already have sea salt sprays that I don't use, and I HATE the feeling of oil on my face. Ick. I actually have to force myself to use the MAKE Eye Makeup Remover Birchbox sent me a while back. The RTR box looks really pretty, but I've tried the Fekkai Dry Shampoo (didn't care for the formula or the scent), and Birchbox has already sent me two of the Sumita liners, neither of which did much for me. 

Who knows. Maybe I'll end up liking the mascara.

Rec'd my email at 720EST (oddly, while I was checking out at Sephora) and picked the remover.  I mentioned what I was doing to the cashier, and hopefully I will get a few referrals out of it!  The girls were pretty excited!

I think I'll leave the non-Ace account up to chance.

For the first time, I actually don't care about any of the sample choices. XD But I went with the eye makeup remover anyway. It wouldn't be a terrible thing to try out. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I'm trying to decide if I will leave my non-Aces up to chance. I really don't like makeup removers.  I bought an Almay one and it felt like I was trying to remove my mascara with salad dressing.

Wow, still no e-mail. How late do you think we stay up, Birchbox?

You described that perfectly. I already have to deal with severely oily skin. Just...yuck. No.

okay now I am stalking my box cheat. I hope it updates soon. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[jewdiful]

I didn't get my email until 8:30 EST, but all the choices were still available. I picked the curated box mainly because of the navy Sumita, gloss, and the pretty box! I almost picked the makeup remover, but that's more of a staple product and not as fun as cosmetics imo. Also I'm excited to get a dark colored eyeliner that's NOT black! In my past 5 boxes I've received 2 black eyeliners.

I am really excited about the box this month! I went with the curated box, partly for the Cupid soap and partly for the pretty design on the actual box, lol. I had also added on the Greer necklace, so it should be a little extra special. Kinda out of my normal add on price point comfort zone, but I just can't stop kicking myself for not ordering the sweatshirt last month. I don't want to feel like I missed out again.

Hope everyone who hasn't yet gets their emails soon!

I picked the mascara. It got really good reviews, so I'm curious.

Also, I updated my profile a month ago to see if I could hack it for a better box... But I couldn't resist the R&R box.

So now I've been waiting forever to see if updating my profile had any effect! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> fingers crossed

Got my email and reserved the curated box. Now I have FOMO about other samples. But I'm still happy with my choice!

What is "FOMO"?

 

[quene8106]

What are the consequences?

consequence = no sample, even though you selected it.

 

[tacehtpuekam]

What is "FOMO"?

Fear of missing out.

Wow, still no e-mail. How late do you think we stay up, Birchbox?

That sucks /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Send a message through the birchbox support link.  It worked for me and others on this forum.  I got a response in less than 5 minutes.
