Me too!

If all my boxes were all makeup, I would get way too much makeup very fast! I like that each box has a different strength.

I really want the Youngblood, and the Ojon, I love hair stuff!! I'm excited for this month. BB is my only sub now just cuz the anticipation is so much fun!

 

[OpheliaDiFranco]

OMG...If I could make a PERFECT box, it would contain the Youngblood mattifier, The Caudalie oil, the cargo blush, and the Ojon treatment....Do you think that box even exists???  If it does, I'm quite sure I will not be lucky enough to get it...SUPER EXCITED for this month!!!! I would be happy if I got JUST the youngblood!

Woo, I would love the Cargo Blush, Ojon Conditioner,the No4 Non Aersol Hair Spray, Youngblood Mattifying Balm (because it looked like the sample was also full size) and the Nexxus Conditioning foam (if the Women's health beauty routine article includes all samples products, as it seems to have a lot of overlap.)

Sometimes I wonder why BB does a video if all they are going to get is negative comments from it.

I won't even read their comments on Facebook or the YouTube video because they always make me so mad...

Last month, I recieved Caudalie Premiere eye cream (I gave it to my husband because I do not have fine lines/wrinkles/dark circles *thanks to great genetics*), Vasanti exfloiater, and a dry shampoo. Top best 3 full size but I only used Vasanti scrub. I'm guessing that I probably won't get that Caudalie Divine since I got Caudalie last night (to avoid repeats who knows?), I hope won't get that StriVectien (I'm so allergic to that), Ojon and my hair don't mesh well and I'd stick to Argan or Morroccan Oil. I don't really care for Youngblood Mattifying since I don't have oily skin. I think I'll be more likely to get that Nexxus serum.  Just found out that Glossybox is sending out that TIGI Glow blush which I'm gonna get so I hope I won't get that CARGO Waterproof blush. I'm glad I waited this long to get 'free' blush because I almost bought one.  So April box is another disappointment since Feb. box....

If it's the one I saw, I'm pretty sure she Kat posted products she loved from past birchboxes. (Zoya, ageless, Oscar Biandi hair thickener, eyeko, a lace twistband, and some others).

Haven't checked out the spoiler video yet but I hope I do not get the blush!  I am getting that in GB and Ipsy this month!  If I do though no worries there is always the trade thread!  I so hope we get the Women's health mag sub!  I love that magazine but it is expensive!

 

[Kaylay]

I can't wait! I hope boxes ship out early like last month!

They're always going to get negative comments and there is always going to be people who complain, that doesn't mean they should stop doing what they do. Die hard Birchbox fans who aren't in it just to hit the jack pot on a big ticket makeup item look forward to the spoilers each month. I liked Ipsy the few months I was subscribed to it, but I'm just not that in to the brands they've been featuring as of lately. I guess I'm at the point in my makeup collection where I care more about quality and not quantity of items.

I thought the Youngblood sample was full size at first, but I think the little packet thing to the left of it was actually the sample. I was kind of confused by that presentation, though, so I'm not sure.

I hope I *do* get that!  If I don't, it will definitely be on my wishlist!  I have a weird obsession with that category of stuff (not just that specific product from that particular brand, and in all formulations) right now for some inexplicable reason.  I spent over forty years avoiding it.  Over the course of the month of March, however, I went from having *one* (a Birchbox sample that I never even *tested*) to having something like eight (and another one on the way thanks to Sephora bonus points), and I have decided I can acquire as many as I can get my hands on as long as I don't *buy* any (out of the eight, I only bought *one* of them.  The rest were sub box items, except for one that was part of the Starlooks Lauren Clark Signature collection that I bought just because I was in a buying mood thanks to an unexpected bonus.  It has turned out to be my favorite makeup item acquired in the entire month of March, and it's in my top ten -- maybe even five -- of the year so far!).

It looked like the box the compact came in.

That's awesome!  If I get the item in my box at least I know who to hit up for a potential trade!  I am naturally rosy in the area this product is applied so I do not wear it.  I am currently putting together a birthday present for my friend who LOVES this product so I am giving her the one from the February Starlooks and the one I get in Ipsy and GB too if it comes in, in time!  I am obsessed with lip and eye products so I can relate!

hmmmmm it could be that, i'm not familiar with the packaging of their products. i really hope so anyway, it would be nice to see birchbox start sending out some full size stuff again.

I am super excited for this month!!

I am subscribed to both Ipsy & Birchbox (Birchbox for much MUCH longer) and although Ipsy does send a lot of makeup items or more non-skincare items I tend to not use mostly none of them. For sure last month the item I loved the most was the empty palette but other then that I haven't really discovered anything that I have fallen head over heels in love with. The items are nice and I enjoy using them but nothing to new or nothing for me to go out and purchase again.

On the other hand I have fallen in love with several items from Birchbox, Ahava lotion, Lancome makeup remover, Macadamia hair products, Incoco, Zoya, Jouer to name a few. 

I will continue with both of my subscriptions but I guess I really do love Birchbox I just didn't realize until I took out all my hoarded samples and realized that most untouched samples were from Ipsy.
