Birchbox April 2013

[JimmyJazz]

I'm not worried or upset not having a clicky truck.  Last month I got my stuff early - so I think it's nice that others are getting stuff early this time around.

Don't our pages update on the 10th?  I think I might not peek....but it's soooooooo hard not to peek!

Got my box! I'm happy, although I'm still confused on the mirenesse sample/full size thingy. On the BB website it says 4g for a full size, which is also what the pencil says. But the bottom is definitely not twisty. No idea if I can sharpen the plastic part.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

I got the Mirenesse in Quick Kiss (#7) Caudalie SOS Morning Eye Rescue (1.5 ml) Hail Merry Macaroons (0.88 oz) Malin + Goetz cilantro hair conditioner (1 oz, does NOT smell like cilantro! Herby and pleasant) 2 Herban Essentials Towelettes (1 Yoga, 1 Eucalyptus)

I haven't been able to resist peeking yet. I don't think I will ever be able to resist it. Might as well just accept it. hehe

Just received my box and I am in love! I received the Mirenesse glossy kiss, simple eye roll-on, Nexxus elixir, Laface purifying facial wash, Joie perfume. The Mirenesse is such a gorgeous color and absolutely perfect for me; red lip addict here! I too am confused by how to sharpen it though, I gave Birchbox a quick call and they confirmed that it is indeed supposed to be sharpened. No idea how though since it seems to be thick plastic 

 I guess once I use as much as I can I will attempt to sharpen it, here's hoping it doesn't break.

Yeah Pawalla has one. I believe they have 2 versions of it a mini for like $12ish and then a bigger one for $26 I believe.

I don't have my clicky truck yet, either. I'm headed out of town later this month and was SO hoping to get my box before then. Maybe all of us that are waiting patiently for our shipping info will get our dream boxes. Ya know--like the universe will reward us with good karma for being (forced to be) patient. (This is really just wishful thinking because I've been jealous of every box spoiler I've seen on here so far...)

Thanks, we are beyond excited. Its been a loooong year of waiting, first to start, then to build, now its just paper work. Between the waiting and the "you guys are too young" , "why are you in such a hurry" etc etc from our friends and family about actually aquiring said house, I am ready for some good Karma as well! Plus its my bday month so, you know, I have to expect more from the universe, of course.

edit: the spells. I don't have them.

I don't think it's supposed to be twisty. The picture in the shop doesn't look twisty. 4g = 0.14oz, which isn't really that much product, so that's probably right.

got a  clicky truck and my box weight says .5050 any ideas?

 

[Jamie P]

My boxes both came. I need to do a serious profile revamp because this is the second month in a row of similar/same boxes hahaha!!! Oh well.

No clicky truck here. I'm trying so hard to be patient, but /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I'm terrible at waiting. I want the Nail polish so bad!

 

[latinafeminista]

My box weight is .4270.  I've seen a lot of people say they are worried/disappointed with a lower weight and I wanted to see why that is? This is only my third BB so just wanted to know if these lighter boxes are typically worse or something?

Box twins!  It's just kind of a meh month for my taste, not super excited about anything.  

The CC cream is light to medium, which is way to dark for my light to corpse skin.  Everything else is fine.  I would have liked some color cosmetic or that fun polish, but oh well!  I may end up loving it all.  How did they know I have gigantic dark bags under my eyes?

I'm actually really happy I have yet to get a clicky truck. I don't like any boxes posted so far. My first BB was really ugh to me so I hope this one wows me.

I just got my birchbox in (the projected shipping date was April 11th, but it came two days early-so I'm pretty excited.) If you are curious the weight of my box is: 0.5340

Here is what came in my April birchbox:

1.) Beauty Protector (Protect and Detangle) --full size = $21.95

2.) Caudalie Divine Oil (for use on skin, hair, or nails) - 0.1 fl oz -- full size = $9-$49

3.) LAFACE Laboratories Beaux Yeux Beautiful Eyes Concentrate Intensive (cream for moisture and wrinkles) - 0.1 fl oz --full size = $160

4.) Supergoop! Daily Correct SPF 35 CC Cream in light to medium - 3 ml -- full size = $32

5.) LIFESTYLE EXTRA: Hail Merry Chocoalate Macaroons (vegan and gluten free) - came with 2 -- full size = $5

Overall I am pretty happy with my box because I know I will use everything.

The full size in the shop is a twist up, I called BB this morning and they confirmed this. The one we received is also full size but it has to be sharpened (still figuring out how though). Kind of odd for them to go through the trouble of creating a different pencil just for the BB boxes, seems like it would have been easier/cheaper for them to just send the regular twist up version
