Birchbox April 2013

[lapsesinlogic]

My second box updated and should be here today! Excited for the contents:



Used my real age (31) and income level for this one and of course that means I get the anti-aging cream. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I am really liking the Supergoop products I've tried, though, so I'll give it a shot. I really wanted to try the Nexxus and the nail polish looks so interesting! It's my splurge product on this account, I don't know if that has anything to do with it. Interested in trying the Malin+Goetz brand but I have so many lotion samples now it's insane.

Getting Box 4....Blah. I mean there's nothing terrible about it I guess and everything will get used, but it's just so very boring. I would have like to get pretty much any other box you guys have linked. Oh well, hopefully the sizes are decent, and who knows, maybe I'll find something I can't live without.

Getting box 4 and 37 - I think had I not seen the mirenesse I'd love box 37, buti really want that damn lip color now!! Oh well! I really need to make a trade thread I have so much stuff

[tanya0949]

I have two accounts and I'm getting the same box for both... /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Only my luck! Oh well more to add to the trade list.

 

[spmblueeyez]

Ugh. No clicky trucks and no box updates for me. I guess its still early in the day....

How do you find your box number?  This is my first month.

 

[drugsNmakeup]

I knew it!! So it seems all the boxes that ship early are like the same 3 boxes? So it's not random, they kind of ship them out by type? I'm not sure if that makes sense but I'm getting 



For those that already got this, how big is the shampoo/conditioner samples? I hate foil packets and I'm not excited about them at all. I have so much hair I'll be lucky to get one use out of them. Not excited about the body wash either since people seem to hate it. I am excited about the lip product and the supergoop eye cream and I'm indifferent on the tea. My box weight was .5560

When you go down to your box history, there will be a picture of a box next to April. Click on it (or I can just hover over it and see). In the address bar, the number after bb is our box number. Mine looks like this: https://www.birchbox.com/shop/birchbox-1/april-2013/april-2013-bb15

Yup, they always ship the boxes out in waves. So you'll see some types of boxes at the beginning, and usually different ones at the middle, and end.

My box updated! This is the first time since I subbed in December that my box was shipped and updated by the 10th. I am always one of the last ones, so this is very exciting. Plus I LOVE everything I'm getting!! This is an awesome box for me. I will actually be using everything I get for once.

Oribe Shampoo and Conditioner for Beautiful Color: I love trying pricey shampoo and conditioner that I would never actually spend the money on.

AHAVA Purifying Mud Mask

: Was just looking into Mud Masks yesterday!  And I heard great things about this one. J.R. Watkins Hand & Cuticle Salve: Been eyeing in the BB shop for awhile now. Glad I waited!

Ruby Wing Color Changing Nail Polish: Was going to buy if I didn't get in my box. Will be happy if I get either color. Can't wait to see how this works!

Simple Revitalizing Eye Roll-on: Another item I was really hoping to try!

Where is the box history?

 

[MrsMeow]

Here are my 2 boxes.  No nail polish for me, so I'm totally buying some.  I've been coveting that type of nailpolish ever since I saw my boss had some a month or two ago!  I'm overall pretty happy with my boxes, but definitely like the box from my main account better (where I am truthful about age, likes, etc) vs my second account, where I am the 20something version of myself.

Box 23 (main account)-

Mighty Leaf Tea – I hate tea, so gross

Caudalie Divine Oil – Ooh, I just read what this is, and I’m so excited

Nexxus Youth Renewal Rejuvenating Elixir – Wanted this!

StriVectin-SD Eye Concentrate for Wrinkles – Well…I could probably use this, lol

Mirenesse Glossy Kiss – Wanted this!



Box 10 (second account)-

Herban Essentials Towelettes – Meh, w/ 2 young kids, I have baby wipes everywhere.

(Malin-Goetz) cilantro hair conditioner – Cilantro is my arch nemesis (cilantro gene, anyone?) but since I’m not eating it, I may try it

Hail Mary Macaroons – I almost always like food!

Caudalie SOS Morning Eye Rescue – BB is clearly telling me I need help around the eyes

Mirenesse Glossy Kiss – Wanted this…hopefully it’s awesome enough to want 2!

 

[quene8106]

Welp I just realized that I have a perfume free box on my 2nd account (box 38)! 

 

[Emuhlyy]

My box updated! It looks like I'm getting box 13?  Here's what I got:

Juice Beauty CC Cream
Beauty Protector (soo excited for this!)
Caudalie SOS Morning Eye Rescue
Yes to Carrots Lip Butter
Yes to Grapefruit Daily Facial Scrube
Yes to Cucumber Facial Towelettes

6 products.. is that normal?!  And I'm pretty happy about what I'm getting, but 3 Yes to Products?!  I hope they're good, I've never tried them before!
I feel like this is a "welcome" box even though I already got my first one.  These don't seem to be the new products.  Someone correct me if I'm wrong?!

 

[meaganola]

Welp I just realized that I have a perfume free box on my 2nd account (box 38)! 

I think all three of mine are perfume-free! I'm getting two box 7s, though. It's a solid box, but I was hoping for completely different boxes on all accounts.

 

[tnorth1852]

Well - I've been pretty happy with the last two months, but this month I'm not impressed. I got box 36.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Macaroons, Oribe Shampoo and Conditioner for Beautiful Color, Skin & co. Body gel, Supergoop! CC Cream (never used a CC cream, so I'm interested in this), and Strivectrin-sd eye concentrate.

I hardly think this box looks like it belongs to an adventurous, wealthy, 18 yea old... I'm just sayin' On the plus side -- 6 products to review.

I'm getting two identical boxes, too (#11).  Last month I had about 50% overlap.  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 

I'm getting:

Kérastase Age Premium Bain Substantif - Cleanse
Joanna Vargas Daily Serum
Mirenesse Glossy Kiss
LAFCO House & Home Soap
