Birchbox April 2013

[Jamie P]

So is the general consensus that the magazine isn't great? I have a lot of free magazines already and would rather get the $10 if it isn't a good read. I have never read it.

If you don't want the year subscription to Women's Health Magazine for a year, you can request a $9.99 refund check be sent to you.

Really??? That's good of them!!

 

[Beeyutifull]

So even if you aren't already subscribed to Women's Health you can get a refund? That is sweet!

same as another box posted earlier:

 
mirenesse glossy kiss laface face wash joie perfume nexxus youth renewal rejuvenating elixir simple revitalizing eye roll-on   for those of you who got the mirenesse, it's just the very tip of the pencil, right?  not that i'm complaining, but it seems like a lot of material going into packaging (a large pencil) when i'm assuming the product does not go  any further down than the tip.  also seems kind of weird that birchbox said to sharpen it but what do i know. any thoughts?
Nice box /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

How did you like the scent? Im a sucker for the scent. I loveee hand food based on the scent alone.

Ooh. I haven't tried much of Ole henriksen, sounds amazing!

I don't think they really had much of a scent. They were just fresh and clean smelling Definatly not super strong like some of their other products.

Ooh, I have multiple subs. I am curious enough to get one magazine subscription just for the hell of it, but I'll be sending the cards back for refunds on the other two!

Yes or the color changing polish lol!

Super early for me this month but my box is Out for Delivery.  I have a weight of 0.5320.

 

[tasertag]

I used to have color changing polish when I was kid so getting it would be like a throwback to my childhood. I hope I get it. If I don't get it, I might just buy it anyways.

 

[vogliadivintage]

One of my boxes should be at my house tomorrow.  It's 0.554, which is the exact same box weight as the one with the Skin&Co shower gel, Supergoop! eye cream (meh), Mirinesse (woo!), only I don't have color treated hair, so I can't be getting the Oribe shampoo/conditioner packets.  They wouldn't send it to me if I don't color my hair, would they?

My other truck isn't even thinking about being clicky yet.  That's the account that always gets polish, so here's hoping!  I would LOVE to try anything by Malin & Goetz, LAFACE, Number 4, W3LL PEOPLE, or Lierac.  I would be happy with the polish or lipstick too.  We've been together a long time BB.  We'll see how well you know me after all we've been through!  

I just want to see what's in the April boxes, but it's still on March!!!!!!!!!

I feel like the deal is you can either get a free subscription, or, if you already subscribe, you can get a refund. They'd probably have to verify that you're a current subscriber. That way people who already subscribe won't feel like their missing out on part of the box. It doesn't seem to make sense that they would give people free money, but I could be wrong! 

 

[vogliadivintage]

Ah!  I spoke (wrote) too soon!  One box is 0.554 due on the 11th.  The other is 0.604 due on the 15th.  Woooop!  Ahh, the curiosity!!!

I already mailed my card in today, because I do want the magazine, but I thought is said if you did not want the magazine you checked a box on the card and you have to list your Birchbox Subscription number.  You could only use the original card included in the box-it said no copies.  And it all had to be done in 30 days of receipt.  I am going by memory but anyone who still has the card can confirm exactly what is says.

Oh heavens, I'm just dying here! No clicky truck, no tracking!

 

[xostephy1022ox]

I'm new to birchbox (this will be my second one)  I am sure this has been discussed before but can someone explain how to figure out what box I am getting?  I have a tracking number but no "clicky truck" lol.

I know last month there were links to each box as well.  Can someone show me how to find that?

Thanks!

 

[ButterflyGrl]

Tracking finally updated. My box weighs 4630. Am a little worried because I see it is going through Mail Innovations. They lost my Ipsy bag last month. Keeping fingers, toes and eyes crossed. Okay, maybe not eyes.

Please excuse my messy desk. This is what I do at work when Im supposed to be working!!!

I love that they will refund you $9.99 if u don't want the magazine. Personally, I will be taking the magazine, but this will prevent all the "hey I'm being cheated because I already subscribe" backlash.

Here's what I got:

Beauty Protector-protect and detangle spray (in my opinion) smells great! ;-)

Caudalie divine oil- the only thing I wanted that I actually got...

Supergoop cc cream--didnt know I wanted it but not disappointed. I normally don't care for supergoop but i LOVE Cc creams

Laface eye cream- dont use eye creams but full size is $150 so this has to be a pricey sample (curse my profile of an 18 year old making $150g a year!)

And

Hail merry macaroons- super excited about these!!!

Overall, not bad..I feel better knowing they didn't include the blush this month so I don't feel so cheated. Wish I got the Youngblood but hopefully ill be able to trade for it...
