Birchbox April 2013

[kawaiisofoxy]

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

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

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.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

This was my box too! The Mirenesse looks AWESOME on you!

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.

Thank you! It was the warmer color that sold me on it.... I know I can rock a copper lip (like the lipstick we got in the march Starlooks) so I decided to give it a try. I would love to see a pic of you rocking a hot pink lip!

That looks great on you!

Thank you!

Where is the box history?

After I log in and click "box" in the upper left corner, I can scroll down and see my box history.

It's listed under the items that I am getting this month. If this is your first month, it may look different maybe? I can't remember what it looked like my first month, lol.

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.

You're so lucky you got the Number 4!  You have to let me know what it's like!!  (please, i mean.)   /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

My 2nd box updated.  I used my real age (29) and real income and I got box 38:

 

 

• 
  Skin&Co Bagnodoccia Body Gel (I hope that it's not as bad as people on here say it is)  
• 
  Nexxus® Youth Renewalâ„¢ Rejuvenating Elixir (also got in my first box)  
• 
  StriVectin-SDâ„¢ Eye Concentrate for Wrinkles (I need this)  
• 
  Youngblood Anti-Shine Mattifier (I got one of the coveted items this month!)  
• 

Weleda Body Lotion (meh)


I'm getting the same box - I'm also excited for that coveted item...I just hope that it's a decent size that we can try a few times!

I am getting box 7, which is a good box for me (https://www.birchbox.com/shop/birchbox-1/april-2013/april-2013-bb7).  I wanted the Youngblood mattifier, but I can always hope to get one in a trade or maybe they'll sample it again in the future.  There were a lot of good boxes this month!  They're are doing so much better than they were 6 months ago.  I think I would have been happy with just about any box that they sent this month.  Sadly though, I think my box has been lost in UPS MI land...it was shipped on the 6th and it hasn't updated at all since then, which has never happened before.  It has always updated for me and is delivered within 4-5 days of being shipped.  I guess if I don't get it by this time next week, I'll call Birchbox.

No nailpolish for me so I'm super bummed but I'm getting

-teas, eh

-the atilier orange sanguine, excited!

-supergoop eye cream.  got some from them for free just for asking earlier this year, but i'm ok with this one too

-ojon oil total hair therapy, excited!

-mirenesse gloss kissy, excited!
so for me this is generally a happy box /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I do wonder how it came to be so light though with these items... wonder if one is missing (shipping weight is about .42)

Good AM Beautiful Ladies!!!

Yup, I'm getting box#1, same box number last month but not sure about the month before because I never really paid any attention until someone mentioned it on MUT! 

I had to change my profile on the part about "What do you more likely to splurge on?" I've left on "Hair" because I have long, thick, and highlights hair like Kaita and haven't gotten any cool hair products. Last month, I got that dry shampoo Serge Normat that everyone got Nick Chavez Sulfate Free Shampoo (I really wanted that and ended up buying that). I kept getting eye products that I don't even use because I don't have crow's feet, fine lines, (I get the point about prevention) probably due to the category I picked 'dry skin'. Most of the eye products have been given to my husband. Again, with this box #1 seem to have less products. Wish I had ORIBE Shamp/Cond. foil samples because I'm totally in love with their Beach/shine spray. The smell is intoxicating! 

My Box #1

 
https://www.birchbox.com/shop/birchbox-1
 
Mailn & Geotz Body wash Bergamont (I'm excited about it because I love their peppermint shampoo!) I'm a body wash hoarder.
 
Kiehl's Powerful Strength Line Reducing Concentrate (BB kept sending me the most expensive lines/eye stuff that will go to my husband) I do use Kiehl product: the BEST MAKE UP REMOVER! 
 
Supergoop CC Cream (I'm soo happy to try this! I've been wanting to try CC cream to see what's the difference with BB cream. I feel that BB cream is a little too heavy and might be a little too heavy for summer)
 
Nexxus Youth Renewal Exilir (Meh, I have too many hair oils and my favorite is Alterna Kern Oil: the best!) I can give it a try; never a fan of Nexxus products (allergies, itchy, and drying)
 
Simple eye roll on (Another eye product, BUT I love simple product, the zit zapper roller is the best one)

It automatically showed my box but there is no number in the address line.

Here is my box

 

[lovepink]

I am getting this box too!  It was supposed to be delivered yesterday (the tracking updated at like 8pm stating a notice was left at 6:53pm I am calling shenanigans).  I am excited for the Miranese!  I am also excited for the Women's Health mag (essentially makes the box free).  My other items are meh.  Good thing there is the trade list and my local swap group!  Hope everyone that wants to is able to find out their boxes!

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

Is the birchbox website running soooo sloooow for anyone else?  I'm trying to rate my products and get more points before I place an order.  Those bamboo utensils are too cute, I want them for patio dinners/lunch.

 

[JimmyJazz]

I can't even get on the website....

I was doing that right now too. It's being veryyyy slow. I was also hoping they would email me back sooner rather than later so I could get points from someone I referred last month (who also got their box last month). I'm itching to place an order right now!

 

[mariahk83]

maybe they're updating box pics????!

I would have LOVED that box!!  Lucky you!  I got box 7 that I won't use except for the eye roller and body wash and  box 8 that I'll use but doesn't really excite me.

That's possible!  

I think I'm experiencing latent anxiety from registering for classes the other night.  Similar website slowness.

 

[JimmyJazz]

I got my e-mail that my box has been shipped around midnight est - I thought they would have updated by now...but I guess not.  Hmm.  I am patiently waiting for the page to load....I feel like it's 1998 and I'm using Dial-Up internet connection lol.
