Birchbox April 2013

[kawaiimeows]

yayyyyyyy finally got a tracking number.

also yes the pixi pencil is sharpenable, i have used it and it works perfectly, you're literally sharpening plastic though. it works perfectly with the UD grindhouse as well. so the mirenesse pencil is probably similar.

I'm really hoping I don't get the macaroons (although I love them). I live in Texas and it is just started to get warm here, so any chocolate in the mail will surely be a melted mess

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.  

This was the box I got too! I'm very excited about the beauty protector - I had it on my wish list & have been wanting to try it!! And I'm always glad to get a fancy eye cream. My husband took a look at the macaroons and said, "oh you got something for me in here?" But then he took a second look and said "wait... Gluten free, raw, and vegan? I don't know about that..." Lol. More for me I guess!! I do think the cc cream is a little orange for me based on the swatch I did on my hand, and I'm set with a couple bottles of BB cream right now, so I'll probably put that up for trade. I would have loved to try the lip pencil or nail polish... But I'll just put them on my trade list. Does anyone know if the women's health card will just extend a current subscription? I assume it will but I'm considering getting the refund since I already get the magazine.

I really love that they have stuff in the BB shop now! They have great products, but the cost to ship from Australia is cah-razy. If I don't get the Glossy Kiss in my box, I may totally have to buy one!

I've been thinking the same thing im buying the Mirenesse or the polish which ever one I don't get.

Got a tracking number YAYYYY.

I really want the beauty protector, the nail polish, or the CC cream (even though the color doesn't work for most)

So excited for this box!! Ipsy and BB have been awesome this month!!

Skin & Co. body wash.
Has anyone received their box with a weight that's similar?  I'd be okay with pretty much everything else that I've seen.  I got an item from that company in a Glossybox a few months ago and I really didn't like it.

Actually, what item do you guys usually really want to get but never seem to?

I have an affinity for fancy perfume, but I always seem to get more commercial brands like Juicy Couture.  I don't hate those scents, but it's readily available.  The whole reason I signed up for Birchbox is last year I saw they had a perfume sample called Flor y Canto that really piqued my interest.  I've yet to get anything like that. Not that I'm complaining! I like most of the other stuff I've received, I'm just kind of yearning.

That's the same weight I got. We are box twinsies! Post what you get because you will most likely get it before me.

I love macaroons would be nice to get some.

My box has shipped, with a weight of .4540. I'm trying to keep my expectations low, but I would love that Beauty Protector.

I don't think I have seen any boxes with the Youngblood either, as well as the nailpolish so far... I just got my tracking number (not updated yet), but I would be super duper happy to have both of those in my box!!!

Oh yeah, and that too! I've put it in my cart a bazillion times, but I really want to try it before I buy it. My hair isn't really all that tangly, just frizzy and dry, but I've heard it smells good and I also could use the heat protection. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

With my luck, I will get the nail polish (which i would LOVE) but it will take FOREVER to ship to me, and then I'll live in another town by then! I wanted to change my address and just send it to the new house to be waiting for me, but we just haven't been able to pin down a date from anyone! The good news is that once we move, we should never get anyone else's mail, since it is a brand spankin' new house, new paint smell and everything!

tl;dr - hurry up BB, or I might not get you at all!

Congrats on the new house!

I need to make an order!

 

[kawaiisquawks]

I have a clicky truck! Shipping info still hasn't updated though, so don't have a box weight/estimated arrival date yet.

Kind of bummed that the food item would have been something I wouldn't mind trying for once in terms of birchbox food.. But I'm allergic to coconuts.

Lol that would be nice!

 

[astokes]

I thought the macaroons were nasty. Lol

All i could taste was the dark cocoa. They had the texture of a LARAbar or something similar which doesn't bother me because I like those but these were definitely not to my taste. >_<



The little jar is LAFACE Laboratories BEAUX YUX Beautiful Eyes Concentrate Intensive eye cream (wow that's a long product name haha)

I gave this to my mom because she loves expensive eye creams. (Hopefully she'll give me something out of her BB when she gets it! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> )

[kawaiimeows]

I really hope i don't get the macaroons. I've never had one before and I'd kinda hate for my first ones to be vegan and gluten free, that stuff always tastes weird.
