Birchbox February 2015 (Spoilers)

[EmL]

No clicky trunk yet! (didn't pys)

 

[H_D]

I've never seen a message like that!  Exactly where did you see it?  Thanks!

I haven't either.

I have a clicky truck on my second acct- earliest I've ever seen one!! I picked the curated box on that acct, and on the mobile app it says "WELCOME BOX YIPPEE! Your box has shipped!"

I saw a few other ppl who had picked the curated box also see "welcome box" instead on their app....so that's prolly across the board for the curated box. Left Shark must be in charge of the updates.

Picked the sea salt spray on main acct- that one still has January truck. I will say that the assortment of boxes this month makes me wish I had taken a 3rd, 4th, and 5th sub in my other cats' names.

OMG, Box 9 was made for me. Sadly it does not contain my sample choice so no go. I still want Box 13 but I just found Box 25 that has my sample choice and a shampoo/conditioner. Bets any one ?

Whoah, my exact thoughts. I want 9 so hard. Have a *very* strong gut feeling I will get 25. <_<

My gift account with the Feb Valentine's Day welcome box has shipping info, so there is that. (I gifted myself 3 mos just for the super cute box, not gonna lie. Then I made a completely 'opposite me' profile to see how the boxes compare in the other two months. Why do I suspect Bizzarro Me is cooler and will get better stuff? )

I did the same thing- made a bizzarro me. She got a crappy November box but I did sign up kind of late in the month. Her December box was way better than my main account. I couldn't help but think they like her better than me. But then she skipped January and ordered a bunch of stuff and returned it. Then she signed back up using a code. So maybe now they don't like her. I am foreseeing a punishment box that is nothing but boring anti-aging serums and Harvey Prince yogini.

box 21 is the only one im seeing with my pys choice. (the mascara) contains Supergoop-ugh bottle is so tiny of a sample, Origins cream, and sea salt spray. hope they get more combos up later today. 

has anyone tried that supergoop daily correct CC cream spf30? any thoughts?

It was on the mobile app!

I love being able to see the various box combinations again. Thank you, Birchbox! :wub:

So far I'm hoping I get box 17, 25 or 26. There are a lot of boxes this month that I really DON'T want, and a bunch of others that are "eh".

I love that they're including Beauty Blenders again. That's awesome. :lol:

@@nikkiaust17 I love the Supergoop CC cream. I actually made the jump from Estee Lauder's double wear foundation to the cc cream about a year ago after getting it in my birchbox. It doesn't last as long, but it's great for me in the summer especially. I have pale skin that is hard to match, and it does a great job of evening out my reddish spots. 

The cc cream made me embrace my freckles again. Plus, I get told how great my skin looks. 

I still use the EL foundation when I have a big event or photos, though.

At least we can comfort ourselves with theBalm lip gloss and the new Benefit mascara. I love both those brands.

 

[artlover613]

I picked the Marcelle eye makeup remover. Of the boxes so far I totally hope I get 25 or 26. I'd love the Davines MINU, but I changed my profile to say I don't prefer makeup and that box has Benefit mascara and The Balm lip gloss. 26 has Klorane dry shampoo, and I had to look at my boxes, but I have never received that on my primary account in the two years I have had it. That seems impossible, but that's why I always had it on my wish list.

Please BB, I want box 25!

 

[girlnamedpete]

I haven't either.

That explains it - I don't use the app. Thanks!  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[PA Anna]

No clicky truck yet. I didn't pick a sample. I'm curious to what I will receive. I am glad that we can peek at the number boxes again. That's half the fun!

 

[H_D]

@@nikkiaust17 I really like it too but BB sent me (twice) it in light to medium when my profile clearly states "fair". They do have a fair to light one available, by the way, so if light to medium is too dark, there is a lighter shade (and also a darker one).

 

[Julie Casey]

Me too!! So excited /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I have clicky trucks on my sea salt spray box and the RTR box!

 

[roxymama]

Excited that my box has a delivery estimate of 2/9-2/10.  Last time that was pretty accurate too.  Let's hope I'm not jinxing anything.

After seeing the color in the birchbox facebook video demo-ing the Balm lipgloss, I am pretty excited.  That rosy medium pink color is right in my wheelhouse. (I'm a RTR box girl this month.)

To play along with the box choice game: #12 would have been my best box because of the beauty blender, balm lipgloss, beekind shower gel and 6 total items...but it would have never been in the cards since I've already received the perfume.  So I can sleep easy tonight that it was never meant to be.

Yes. I wanted 12 too. It would have been the best box ever. Damn you, Catherine Melandrino! Although I shouldn't whine. My Aces is getting the RTR and I know that will be a nice box. :wub:

Hello, I just subscribed to Birchbox and need help figuring out everything. I read all the posts and have questions. First, since I have just joined for February's box, will I get a regular box or will I get one of those "Welcome" boxes? And if I do get a "Welcome" box, would I get regular boxes afterwards or what? I have seen the "Welcome" boxes and not that interested so I'm hoping that doesn't continue after this month.

Second, I never got an e-mail asking me to pick an extra sample. I literally signed up this past Sunday night. Does this mean that I was late in getting the PYS sample for this month or what? Should I get an e-mail starting next month for March's box and so forth? I am confused on this and how does it work?

Third, how does the points system work?

Please help!
