I might be misremembering, since I didn't receive an expired Befine sample in the Birchbox fiasco, but didn't those who did complain that they smelled badly?
The SPF product was the daily moisturizer, but some also said that the exfoliating cleanser also smelled off despite not having an expiration listed.Originally Posted by zadidoll /img/forum/go_quote.gif
The expired Befine sample was of a product that contained SPF. SPF loses it's potency over time which is why anything with SPF must have an expiration notice. Off hand I can't give you then name of the product that contained SPF but if you look for Befinegate in the search you'll find the thread.

I squeezed it onto a cotton round. It was very hard to get out. Sorry its not a really good photo at all.
Thanks for the pic. I have a full size tube to compare the contents to. The smell of mine has a hint of brown sugar and oats almost the smell of oatmeal cookie dough minus the vanilla extract. It's a very pale yellow-brown color; the color of yours, which could be due to the light, is a darker brown. As for the texture of mine, it's coarse like raw sugar and I've used mine a couple of times but found it to be very harsh on my cheeks so I use mine on my forehead, chin and neck only because of that. Judging by the photo it's highly possible yours did spoil especially if the odor smelled bad, it should have a sweet scent like oatmeal cookie dough.
I've had this cleanser in both packet and tube form, and every packet I've gotten looks like the one the user posted, it's harder to get out and is more dry than it is in the tube (the same amount of coarseness, but I find there is less of the liquidiness in the packets)...however, it should not smell bad, it should just have a mellow brown sugary scent.
Thanks everyone I don't think it was experied because it did feel how everyone was describing it I went ahead asked my mom to smell it and she said she liked the smell so I guess it must just be me.Originally Posted by yousoldtheworld /img/forum/go_quote.gif

It is kind of an odd smell, if you haven't used something like it before /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
... you were correct... it's still not showing up in the USPS system.... ugh....definitely not renewing this sub!Originally Posted by pandangela /img/forum/go_quote.gif
hopefully it really has shipped! Most places will send a shipping notice when they print the label. But not necessarily meaning that it got in the mail that day.
I honestly saw this coming when they disabled the ability to post on their fb wall and hadn't posted anything on fb for a long time.Was supposed to post the same thing but TYG! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Should I be surprised? LOL
