I have box weight on account #2 - .5530!  Projected to get here the 12th.  Wooohooo!

Is the face wash in a little pot? I can't make heads or tails of that packaging. 

Yup, it's similar to the container the dirt scrub and the mox botanicals was sent out in.

Got shipping for my first account! .6267! Nothing yet for my second one. : D

My box this month:









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
Nice box! I say that cuz of the Mirenesse product ofc, I would SO love that!

Got my shipping e-mail yesterday! Box weight is 0.5480 and scheduled for delivery on the 11th.

Well, they got me.

I ordered the LaRocca Champagne and Shimmer Supreme Creme and threw in a Madewell nail file for free shipping. I used $10 worth of points (so much for saving up) and got it all for $14.

I just kept thinking how nice it would be to wear on my legs this summer to sort of disguise what's left of my eczema. I'm super pale and don't like to tan or bronze, so I could use a little help. But you know, I don't want to look glittery.

Congrats on clicky trucks, those of you who have them. Mine isn't, yet. But those boxes we've seen so far don't really look like my ideal box, anyway. I forgot how close we were getting to the tenth. You know, I enjoy seeing my box contents online, before I get it in the mail. I really like studying each product online, before holding it in my hand. I think it makes me happier with my boxes to anticipate a little more.

You didn't miss much! A second spoiler, and those couple of boxes that have already been received. Also there's four discovery dashes going on right now if you're interested in that. Hope everything gets better

I canceled all my subs for the month of April  - 2 Birchboxes, Sample Society and Glossybox, because I just have so much stuff that I need to use up.  A week after I canceled them all I couldn't stand it anymore and reactivated just one Birchbox account.  I love Birchbox! 

This might be old news, but I was just on the Birchbox website and noticed that there is now an option to save items to "Favorites" like Sephora's Shopping List.  I love this feature!

Please let me know how it works on your legs.  I thought about getting it and then I was skeptical of it because of my eczema.  I use this daily moisture by nivea and it calmed down my breakouts.  I'm also super pale as well. I left NYC for a college town surrounded by mountains and my color is gone, lol.

Will do. I've never tried Nivea. I use Aveeno with oatmeal, because that's what my doctor recommended. My eczema is related to allergy/hives, so it might be different from yours. The bumps are almost gone, right now, thank goodness, but I can still kind of see where they were. I'm a little bit concerned that I could be too sensitive for the creme, because some people in the reviews are saying the fragrance is strong. I hope it's a natural fragrance.

At least birchbox is good about returns.  Although if I were you, I would wait to use the nail file until after you know for sure about the lotion, so you can return both for the full points/cash that you spent, because sometimes their algorithm for it is a little wonky. (unless you really want that nail file, but it seemed like you only got it because of shipping).

I bought the twistbands last night, I couldn't help it Plus free shipping /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I know it probably doesn't help much, but I have read that for skin products, being natural doesn't mean that they will not cause problems. Especially for people with allergies, since a lot of allergies are caused by natural elements, like pollen from flowers e.t.c. I guess all someone can do is learn through trial and error, or know exactly what causes the allergies and study the ingredients in each product to avoid them.

Just from my own personal experience, what you said is true, at least for me.  I had the reaction from hell from One Love Organics and a few other all natural and organic products, but can use most products that contain synthetic ingredients.  I think most of the lotions and potions that contain synthetic ingredients are engineered to be hypo-allergenic.
