Birchbox April 2013

[audiophilekate]

I know most of you aren't fans of Twistbands, but the 12-pack lace Twistbands are half price right now.  The 6-pack is $14, so getting 12 for $2 less is a fantastic deal.

Mine weighs .5420 and should be here the 11th. Sometimes they get here a day early. This might be the first month where I actually don't know what I'm getting in my Birchbox.

It will not show your monthly box order on the order page. It will only show the first time you signed up. As long as you have been charged, you are fine.

Thanks and phew. I figured it was something like that. Another noob question; whats the "discovery dash"? Thanks!

if only it was a headband. i wear my headband from last month's box religiously.  My hair is still kinda short from chopping it all off six months ago, but it's long enough for a headband.

I love mine too.  I keep one next to my sink and one near my makeup to use in the morning when I apply my makeup.  It's nice not to worry about ponytail and headband creases.  They also look better than my bazillion Goody Ouchless hair ties.

In other news: birchbox appears to be doing 4 items for the upcoming discovery dash

via facebook:

Quote: Get ready to score a sweet discount on four products we l-o-v-e. We'll tell you more tomorrow morning (be sure to check back!). In the meantime, here are some clues:1) This will give you a 24K effect.2) A sweet spritz named after an Egyptian mythological bird.3) The easiest way to get spring nail art design.4) With a pattern inspired by the runways, these secure hair sans creases.
So #2 is the MCMC Phoenix perfume, #3 has to be Incoco nail polish stickers, #4 must be twistbands. No idea what #1 is.

Clicky truck!! Weight is 0.5340 with projected delivery on the 11th! I'm Samantha and have always felt torn between multiple nicknames (Sammie, Sam, etc.). Different people call me different things and sometimes it's hard to keep track haha.

Box twins! I get mine on the 11th.

#1:  My guess is Lucy B bronzing shimmer oil.  It's fairly new, and it does contain gold.  There's a Nuxe oil that also contains gold, but I received it in my December 2011 box, and that seems far too way-back for them to bother with now.

ETA:  Anyone else notice the promotion of the bonus shop in their shipping email but also notice there are still no Pick Two packs?

It's a shame it hasn't gotten better reviews.

My secondary account has a clicky truck, but no tracking information.  My main account has no clicky truck, and this makes me happy.  This is my first month getting 2 boxes, and I'm all paranoid I'll get the same one.  So I'm hoping my main account doesn't get a clicky truck for a couple days.

I had a shimmer oil like that one from Lancome years ago and it just glitter bombed everything I touched. I was like King Midas. Lol

No Clicky Truck.

My Flat Stanley purchase is still hanging out in NOLA - Maybe it has run amuck and is going around flashing people on Bourbon Street...

This was wrapped around the simple product, that wasn't on the card:



But holy hell, packaging!  Look at all of the extra packaging this month, not even including the pillow pack, the box, OR the outer box:



My box weight was 0.5220

I bought the Simple a few weeks ago at Target, in the clearance section! I hope I don't get it. I'm not sure if it makes a difference at all. Plus I doubt I'll go through it anytime soon. The rest of the box looks pretty good though.

 

[saidfreeze]

Welp... It looks like I may be getting dupes! Box #2 is .5875 and #1 is .5860

 

[bonita22]

Clicky truck finally updated! I haven't received a shipping email yet. My weight is .5560 and it should be here 4/12 hopefully sooner.

Thanks.

Weird, I don't see the 12-pack of the lace twistbands. Maybe they sold out due to 1/2 price. I don't know what a discovery dash is but maybe that has something to do with it.

I found a full-size bottle of benetint that I bought a whole ago. I noticed it looks a little cloudy, does this mean it should be tossed?

 

[tulosai]

Still no clicky truck.  I also don't have an order number yet under 'purchase activity' but my card was charged several days ago (probably april 1 but definitely no later than the 2nd).

Should I be concerned?
