That looks so pretty on you!  Definitely pulling it off.   /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

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!

Thank you so much ladies! Haha I made sure my entire outfit and all the rest of my makeup was neutral... It is crazy bright! But your comments are giving me confidence!

That makes me feel better! Thanks!

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

That looks great on you!

My acct shows box 23! If the sample sizes aren't super tiny this will be the best box I have ever received from BB.

Bold! Love it! I think pale chicks don't realize just how striking bright lip color looks on them. It's old Hollywood glamour! A classic! I'm pretty pasty pale, and my default lip color nowadays is hot hot pink (think stila lip balm in Betsey) since I got bored with bright bright red (my preferred color for years). I would be wary of this one only because I'm not comfortable in warmer colors.

I'm getting box 40 too. More tea, which I don't drink. :- But the rest is okay-ish. I've been wanting to try the hair products tho so I'm gonna call this one a win at this point.

That is odd... they are EXACTLY the same!! Have you gotten your box yet? Maybe the listing is wrong on mine? I know they have had mix-ups before...

Still no clicky truck or updated box for me /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

My box showed up today! It was box 10, I think? I'm pretty happy with it!

I got:

 
Malin + Goetz cilantro hair conditioner - I prefer shampoo and conditioner together, but I'd rather get a conditioner alone than a shampoo. I like cilantro. I'll try it!
 
Caudalie SOS Morning Eye Rescue - I love eye creams, so I'm happy about this. Tiny little tube but it's an eye cream so it will go a long way.
 
Herban Essentials Towelette - I got 2, in lavender and peppermint. I've had these before. They're nothing spectacular, just towelettes with essential oils, but I am happy to have them anyway.
 
Mirenesse Glossy Kiss Lipstick - I wasn't sure about this color (I think it's called Quick Kiss?) but I do like it on. I love the texture!
 
Hail Merry macaroons - I have tried these before. Not a fan, but I'm glad they make them for raw foodies, vegans, gluten free folks, etc.

 

[mscuracchio]

So this time there was four things I wanted and I told myself to be happy if I just got one... But I got three in my box!! The Youngblood, strivectin, and the nexus hair serum are all going to be in my box!!! I wanted the nail polish too... But it is something I can do without, especially since I'm a julep maven too. Can't wait to get the box and hopefully the sample sizes are decent sized.

Same.

Spoiler

After looking at the boxes I really want the youngblood. That is all I want. I'm over the polish. I just hope I don't get loaded down with tea or macaroons, both will just go to waste in my house.

Sam

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.

Same here! Both box #10 which I'm super happy with, but I was really looking forward to different boxes and this is my first double sub month. lol!!

Change your profile to "What do you more likely to splurge on?" I put Hair products: BUT I got like old lady stuff because I have dry skin so maybe if you change that and keep skin type normal/combo?

Ok, I finally got in! Looks like I am getting box 40

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

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

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Not the most exciting box ever, but definitely some things I have been wanting to try! I am getting this one too, and I think it is a good box. I like it when there is one item of make up, one for hair, and one thing for skin. I have been a member for over a year, and I have never had a repeat other than colors of nail polish, etc. I think they're really doing a good job. Although I wish I could get my hands on some Keristase. They have had it in so many boxes, but I never seem to get any. Does anyone know of a place to get samples of it cheaply? I usually buy alterna products, and they are a similar price. It is generally easy to buy smaller sizes of those, however.

me neither, on either account. And I don't know about anyone else, but its loading VERY slowly for me. I was excited at first thinking maybe my page was loaded since it was taking forever. After about 10 minutes, it finally showed my box page.....with the March box. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> boo. I gave up trying on my second account after 5 minutes of waiting for the page to load.

Mine was loading very slowly too- but then my April page popped up.

I'm sure the lag is because they are still working on loading everyone's boxes....hope you find out soon what you're getting!

I got the one thing I really wanted to try - the Youngblood mattifier! I got box 4 - the strivectin eye cream I'm okay with, I have another I haven't gotten to yet (I feel like I'm loaded down with eye cream samples all of the sudden an they take forever to get through, but I use them everyday so the more the merrier I guess), the nexxus youth renewal elixir I'm meh about since I'm suppose to be getting a full size sample from a giveaway I entered though its take 8+ weeks to get to me, the caudalie oil I'm not sure about ( I tried some at sephora and I think I didn't like it because I sprayed too much onto my hand), and the weleda lotion is ...well it's lotion. All in all, it's not the worst box I've gotten and I got the one thing I wanted. No perfume which I'm totally okay with, I would have liked macaroons though - they are my absolute favorite. But after a 3 boxes, including this one, I think my new beauty profile is really working out!

I noticed that too. I had box #1 last month, too. I learned along in these lines that if you change the profile under the category "I'm more likely to splurge on?" click on whatever you want. I left Hair for the last 3 months and have gotten an ok boxes. Today I changed to Make up because I never got any makeup stuff. April box: no Mineresse lip gloss so will have to order it unfortunately. Change skin type, too to 'normal' even tho most normal skin products do work for dry (I have dry/sensitive skin) and combo)

I think there are too many people accessing to Birchbox website now to look what's in their boxes.
