Birchbox April 2013

[shy32]

I just bought the Ruby Wing nail polish in groupie and peony and then checked this thread and found out they are going to be in April's box /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />,can't wait to try it.

Well by others' posts I'm sure you would be able to find someone to take it off your hands. The beauty of the trading lists, one persons dislikes are someone's dream item. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I love polish more than most polishes so I would definitely trade for it.

I am always happy to get nail polishes in subs, I hope I get one this month.

Okay, I need your input.  

So I love the Atelier Rose Absolute, my 25% coupon should come after my last sub in April.  

I've some points.  So I can get the 30ml nearly for free, but I just love this stuff, when I wear it's like transcendental meditation.  I'm whisked away to this secret Tibetan rose garden with ginger tea softly steaming amongst lush papyrus plants.  

I want to get the 200 ml that sells for $195, if I use the 25% off and points I'd be getting it for almost $100.  

I don't have full time job just yet... I'm doing contract interpretation in family courts, depositions and early intervention programs, hope to be in actual trial court or DA office in not so long when my confidence gels.  It's rewarding work but a little intense from time to time...  wearing this puts like a delicate reminder of things that are good and pretty and helps me focus and remain objective.

Should I just go for it?     

I really want the color changing nail polish too, looks way too cool!

I'd go for it! Full time job or not, you're still working super hard. We all deserve to spoil ourselves a little sometimes! 

 And if you need more justification than that, it IS almost 50% off with your 25% + points. Who could pass that up?!

I say go for it too!  I think it's  a better buy bc if you get the smaller version, you'll run out faster and will have to still pay more money to get another one anyway (I'm sure you won't want to go without it once you have it!)  You are still earning an income..pay yourself first!

I've been lusting after this perfume ever since I got it in my Birchbox. Every since I got it I've felt like it was "the" perfume for me. I've just been afraid to take the plunge and order it because I saw some reviews that Atelier's perfumes degrade quickly. This may be worth looking in to before you commit $100 to it.

I just got an email saying saying that if I sign up by April 15 I would receive the April women's health box. I'm so tempted to sign up for a second box.

 

[hiheather]

I signed up for a second box, went the waitlist route to give myself a bit more time to think about it. I also just realized I didn't have to actually type out a review for the points. I was wondering how I write a review for a product I didn't actually try lol

Argh, I messed up the edit! I know this one without any more info because I've been meaning to get this for a while, plus they just added it to the store today.

Ruby Wings nail polish! It changes color in the sun.
*WANTS*!!!

Well, technically, yes. However, I don't want to have to trade an item, as I'm sure no one does. I'd much rather get an item I can use right off the bat. But such is the gamble with Birchbox.

Haha.  I always get my points first thing and then go back to write the reviews and give it a star rating later so that their hungry algorithm gives me what I really want in my boxes!  Mwa haha

So I have come to the conclusion that BB likes to take not only my boxes but my purchases around the country.  My purchase went from NJ to New Orleans.  My boxes and purchases have become the new Flat Stanley.

Wow.  USPS is super efficient...

This isn't USPS's fault. Birchbox uses UPS Mail Innovations to get it *almost* to you and then hand it over to USPS one stop before your town. USPS *would* be efficient --if they actually just used USPS and not a different company to start the process.

USPS is actually more efficient than FedEx and UPS. I mean, I hate USPS for various reasons (like..."losing" my birthday present from a friend) but in general they're fairly quick
