Birchbox April 2013

So.... if you're pale, you can still rock the orangey mirenesse. I was amazed at how it looks on me!

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 

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

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

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

I got the same box as you.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

there are 2 of each of the shampoo and conditioner and they are actually pretty big, but they're foils. The supergoop is teeny tiny.

I am SO stoked about my box!!

I am getting...

Caudalie Divine Oil -

Nexxus® Youth Renewal™ Rejuvenating Elixir
StriVectin-SDâ„¢ Eye Concentrate for Wrinkles- meh I am OK with this but my bf got it in his birchbox this month so now I have two....trade?
Youngblood Anti-Shine Mattifier- wooohoo I wanted this!!

Ugh!!! I keep trying to to see my box contents, but it won't let me in the box tab! The suspense is killing me!!!

Ahhh you're the first one I've seen who's gotten the mattifier!! Super jealous, great box!

 

[audiophilekate]

Geez.  I am not having a good month with my boxes.  All but the hair clips from my Sample Society box have gone on my trade list & I have a feeling the same will happen with my Ipsy bag.  I'm getting box 23 on my main account


and box 38 on my 2nd account

I hope I like the Nexxus & Strivectin - or find someone who will be willing to trade - since I'm getting 2 of each of those.  At least I'm not getting any perfume.  I think I'm starting to become burnt out on samples.  Thank goodness for trades.

That looks so pretty on you! Makes me a little less scared to get that color (if I get this at all). It definitely works on you! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

You look great with that color!! Now I'm a little upset that I didn't get the lippie in my box....I am just about your color /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I could totally pull that off!

Rock it momma!

[smiletorismile]

So even though I'm not getting any nail polish I'm still thrilled with my box, because it has no food and is the variation I really really wanted.

Juice Beauty CC Cream
Beauty Protector
Caudalie Sos eye cream-I love this brand!
Yes to Carrots Lip Butter-I've always wanted to try these!
Yes to Grapefruit Facial Scrub-I've wanted to try this after trying the grapefruit wipes
Yes to Cucumbers Facial Towlettes! The best part of the box!!! I might buy some of these when I buy the nail polish

And 6 items to review, that is awesome too!

I'm getting box 23. Not unhappy, not thrilled, but definitely stuff I would like to try. Wanted the nail polish though. I did notice something interesting. I have gotten box 23 for 3 of the last 4 months. Anyone else notice a trend in box numbers?

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!
well since it's something kind of soap-ish, then the cilantro should be fine! haha  i finace always talked about how much he hated cilantro, it tastes like soap - i thought he was nuts!  Turns out he has the gene that makes it taste off and I don't - he also has the one that makes him taste more bitter things and i don't... (we both did the 23andme genetic testing)

I'm getting box 23 too! Was really hoping for nail polish or the Yes To... samples, so feel kind of meh about this one. Thinking I need to change my profile, as I don't want to keep getting wrinkle cream. Last month I received box 18, so it's strange that you keep getting box 23.

 

[jnm9jem]

Ok, I finally got in!

Looks like I am getting box 40

Ojon rare blend oil total hair therapy

Atelier Cologne Orange Sanguine Cologne Absolue - meh
Supergoop! Advanced SPF 37 Anti-Aging Eye Cream
Miranesse Glossy Kiss
Kusimi Tea Paris - Wellness Miniature Assortment - meh
Not the most exciting box ever, but definitely some things I have been wanting to try!

I don't know what I'm going to be doing with 2 of the polishes. hopefully they'll be different colors. And 3 rollers...  If anyone wants to trade, let me know. I was really hoping for the youngblood.

I know you are not psyched on the tea, but the kusmi tea they have sent me before has been some of the best I've ever had.  I have a huge loose tin of euphoria and it really is special.

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

I'm getting both of those boxes too! DOUBLE BOX TWINS! Lol......I felt the same way about not getting a lippie too. Hoping for either Peony or Groupie for my polish shade. Most excited for the Youngblood....my face is extra greasy in the summer months.
