If you received the Befine facial moisturizer, check the expiration date on it!  I just got an email from them stating some customers were sent expired samples.  Sure enough, mine expired back in 2010!  They sent out a link to complete if you received expired samples and are depositing 100 points to your account for it.  Double check your samples before you used them!

The link was one time use only or I would've included in this post.

  • I admit I'm still curious as to how this happened. I too had expired ones (and I question their claim a "small" amount were effected). Mine expired in 2009.  
    I've heard it both ways.
  • Mine also expired in 2010.

  • Mine were expired as well.

    What is crazy is that I would have never, ever noticed this if they hadn't sent the email!  After I got the email I went to look at my packets and even knowing there was a date on that tiny package it still took me forever to actually find the expiration date!  Something about that alone seems really shady to me.  Seems like expiration dates should not be so hidden and small.

    Whoa.  That's not just a little bit expired.  Why on earth would a company even keep products THREE YEARS after their expiration date?  I'm giving a big side eye to both Birchbox and Befine now.

  • Mine was expired in 2009 too.  The weird part is the other items in the Befine box did not have expiration dates.  I'll be tossing those too!

    Yeah I was checking the cleanser and it doesn't have anything written, just some code number. I don't trust it though now. I did already use one of each (prior to receiving the email), and I thought they were kinda runny, especially the lotion, but rubbed off the excess and didn't think too much about it. But that's probably why.

  • I'll have to check mine. That's so frustrating. I'm about to quit all these sample boxes! First the MyGlam issue, now this...annoying!

  • I got tue Befine products too, and I can't figure out where the heck the expiration date is. Can anyone point me in the right direction? TIA!

    it's only on the moisturizer (because of the SPF)  and it is hard to find. It's pressed into the side, left hand side. I found I could read it better from the back. Hope that helps.

    that's really my curiousity at this point, how was that even still around? Strange frankly.

    My Juice Beauty Oil free moisturizer was also expired by a year. That's so frustrating.
    This is bad (that its so wide spread). Make sure to call or email them - they should give you some points to compensate for the error.

  • I cancelled my box today. I am done with birchbox.
