Birchbox April 2013

[barbyechick]

another April box

 
It might be the same as one of the ones already posted, but its nice to see that there will be multiples of foil packets
My box hasn't had any updates since Saturday and no spoilers, curse my impatience

Me neither and I hope I am getting it too!

That would be a great reason for my box to not have tracking yet! I'd love to get that.

I think it's because the DIL and MIL should be on the same team, and when one of them is undermining the other, it puts the husband/boyfriend in a really difficult position. Unfortunately, mothers are just people, and some people have a really low emotional intelligence, why else would would a MIL make trouble? I think it is jealousy, a lot of times, which is just silly, if you think about it. It's a delicate tight rope act, for the DIL. Good luck, you have my sympathy!

Back OT, I am way too attached to the idea of receiving the

peony nail polish in this month's box. It's only $10, so I guess I could just buy it with free shipping if I don't. For some reason getting it in the box seems so much more exciting.
I think it's funny how things that are cheap are sometimes so much more fun than things that are expensive.

I once rolled up on my MIL while she was talking crap on me to a table full of relatives at a wedding shower. I came in, gave her a big kiss on the cheek, then went and got her a drink from the bar and a plate of food. I then said, "Here you go mom, I didn't want you to have to stand in line for anything, it's way too long and you have bad knees." She felt like a fool and left early saying she was feeling ill. Ha! Kill em' with kindness!

The store has been updated. 

SUMITA EYESHADOW PENCILS! I love shadow pencils. I have a feeling my points balance may be drained this month.

I saw a Birchbox box in my mailman's bin when I walked into my apartment building but I didn't want to bother him as he was working. I hope it's mine!! But I didn't get a shipping notice so I'm not expecting much.

I really wish I had taken a picture of my mailbox one day- my boyfriend makes fun of me all the time- there was a day when I got 4 sub boxes in the mail and he got 2 packages in the mail and our mailbox was STUFFED full. It was AWESOME!! I was just sad that all 6 packages were not mine but luckily we have the big mailbox or I have no idea where they would have put all of our boxes.

We both do WAY too much online shopping haha!

Hi, ladies! Long-time lurker (I've been subbing for a year now!), first time poster here. I just got my box, and I haven't seen it posted, so I thought I'd share. 

I got: 

Beauty Protector | Protect & Detangle 

Caudalie | Divine Oil (3 mL)

LAFACE Laboratories | BEAUX YEUX Beautiful Eyes Concentrate Intensive (3 mL)

Supergoop! | Daily Correct SPF 35 CC Cream (3 mL)

Lifestyle Extra: Hail Merry | Chocolate Macaroons (bag of 2 macaroons)

I already devoured the macaroons, and they were delicious! 

Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with my box. I've read a lot of good things about the Protect & Detangle spray, so I'm excited to try that. I love BB creams, and have been wanting to try out a CC cream, and eye creams and face oils are always welcome in my book!  Besides, I'm going on a trip this weekend, so having sample sizes is always a plus! 
Edit: Added spoiler

It reminds me of those Nars satin lip pencils.  Look at me modeling it below, lol. (excuse my crazy curly fro, lol)

It was like 2 years ago, so he was around 28 or so. He didn't get dialysis though, he got a kidney before that, he was really lucky /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Sometimes mother in laws can be difficult, I am lucky I get along with mine. My hubby is the baby so she is definitely over protective of him.

 
Yeah mine's the youngest one of the two...so *sigh* I hope it's just her being over protective, but I think she hates me LOL
