In the opt-in email it mentioned that sound TV boxes would have Essie.

I picked the TV box.  It doesn't seem often that that happens so I figured I'd give it a shot.  I got the Vichy box, so I'm thinking that maybe I wont be lucky two months in a row.  I'm just hoping that if I do get the TV box that the March one is lame lol.  I'm not a teen, but I'm hoping like others that there will be more make up and less skin care items.

I just spoke to someone from Birchbox and asked her if I used my link from the e-mail to make a 2nd account, and then opted OUT on my 2nd account, should I be getting both of the boxes?

She told me that although they can't gaurentee anything, They don't feel worried about their quantities of boxes. She said that if I used the link to make the 2nd account I should be getting the TV box, and since I opted out on my main account, I should be also getting the regular Birchbox for March. I hope that clears things up!!!!

I'll also keep you updated in March as to whether or not that was true /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I opted for the TV box as well, I thought because it was a product launch that it might have better products than regular BB. At least I hope lol.

 

[SarahElizSS]

ugh...I opted in for the TV box on my regular account because I was on the waitlist for a second account. Now they let me off the wait list for a TV box on a second account!! Looks like Im getting 2 TV boxes! Bummer!

Yayy. Subscribed again because "party-ready beauty picks" implies actual makeup.

So if you subscribe without getting an invitation for the TV box, you'll just get a regular box? bc I want to get my sister a TV box too. Also, does anyone know if all the TV boxes have the same products (i.e. no beauty profile)? If it'll just be two boxes of the same stuff, I'll just get one box and give her what I don't want haha

I signed up for the Teen Vogue Box Monday and just got my email today to enroll! I can't wait to get it!

 

[Jacinta]

Has anyone decided whether or not they will be getting the Teen Vogue box this month?  Knowing my luck, I will opt for the Teen Vogue box and the regular will be the best one yet!  Any thoughts?

 

[Jacinta]

I opted for the Teen Vogue Birchbox. I hope I don't regret it as knowing my luck this will be the best regular box yet. Lol. I think I will like the younger generation products though. If you are interested, you can check out my blog, I am giving away some of the Incoco Nail Appliques from a previous box (and nail polishes from Julep Maven)!

It sounds like some people had no problem signing up for a second account while others had to wait 3-4 weeks.  Is this just random luck to get in or had you guys who just opened a new account been on the waiting list as well for a while?  

I signed up twice for an additional BB account on Tue, i.e. two days ago - once through  the TeenVogue link and once through the regular site.  I received an invitation today to subscribe through the one on the TV link, and it states that my first box will  be the TV box.  So I signed up and opted out for the TV on my "main" account. 

I was surprised to hear back from them so soon.  Yay!  Now greedy me can have my BB both ways... 

 

[cjeanette]

I figure no matter which way I do it I am going to somehow end up with either 2 TV boxes or 2 regular!

 

[yanelib27]

lol I have a feeling I will too.. all the hard work for nothing!

Honestly, as long as I get 2 different boxes it will be fine. I dont want the same regulat BB or 2 of the same TV boxes.. thats probably highly unlikely so I think I will be ok... I am determined to be pleased with what I get, I love BB! (as much as you can love a sample box company, anyway)

Well, here is the email I got regarding this: 

Quote: Hi Jenna,Thanks so much for being in touch! If you used the Teen Vogue link to create your new account, you will not receive an opt in email because there is an automatic opt in through this link. You must opt out with the other account in order to ensure you will not receive a second Teen Vogue box.If you need any additional help sorting this out, feel free to give us a call at 877.487.7272 and we will be happy to assist you over the phone!Have a wonderful weekend!

So, it seems they are confused since we are all getting different answers. Taking my chances I guess. 

 

[NaturalGeek]

Here's the email I got.  It clearly states that the my first BB will be TV box.  So I am quite certain now that I will receive one TV and on reg BB in March.

I opted in because I just got the Vichy box, so not really looking for much skin products right now since I have all these samples to play with. Plus I love me some Essie!

I created a second account so I could get the TV box & a regular BB box. With all the confusion going on I decided to email them also. Here's my email & their reply.

To Birchbox:

When I saw that March's box was offering a special Teen Vogue Birchbox I knew I had to get it. I signed up, using the Teen Vogue link, on 2/15 assuming that I would be receiving a Teen Vogue box. Now there is a rumor on a beauty forum that I participate in saying that I may not get the Teen Vogue box if I had signed up after the first week of February. I'm just wondering if this is true & if there is any way that somebody could check & let me know if I am opted in to receive the Teen Vogue box or not. Thank you so much for your time.
  From Birchbox: Not to worry! Since you signed up using the Teen Vogue link (regardless of when you signed up), you'll be receiving the Teen Vogue box!   xo,
Jillian
Sooooo, with this information I finally did opt out of it on my main account. I really hope I do get the TV box on my second account though. I was actually tempted to try & get the TV box on both accounts but figured if I do that the regular BB box would be awesome & the TV box will be super lame.

 

[lindalou3]

Too bad birchbox just didn't give people an option to purchase the second type of box as a one-off.  I think a lot of people would have done that and birchbox would have made more money.  I didn't want to go thru the hassle of setting up a second account (I guess I'm very lazy) but if it had just been an easy one click to charge $10 to my card, I would have opted to get 2 boxes. 

 

[cjeanette]

I lost the opt in/out e-mail so I can't change it.  So it looks like I will get 2 TV boxes.  Oh well.

 

[freyabecca]

I decided to opt in for the TV box. I hope I don't end up regretting this.
