i got my birchbox! i'm a wee bit disappointed. the item i really didn't want (have it already and don't like it) is the one i got -.- 
LL
  i already have the simple eye roll on and don't like it, unfortunately. ahava makes me break out and i don't like hot pink polish. all 3 items will be up for swap. if anyone's interested, i'd love to swap!    
My goodness, that nail polish is BRIGHT. O.O

it's like a marker!!! it's color-changing though and i googled an image of the "in the sun" color and that's acually pretty. but yeah. not for me. 

i'm sooooooooooooooo sad i didn't get the macaroons though. everyone always complains about food items as extras but i'm one of the few who LOVES food items in my BB >.<

Totally worth the $50. I still have about half a tube left & I used it daily from June to February.
:eek: /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> interesting I'll need to buy it and have the bf bring it whenever he comes :D /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> being here definitely makes wearing makeup really hard D:

I was surprised and got box 9. I thought I was getting a different box. I'm actually really happy with this one. 




-Beauty Protector (been wanting to try this since it first came out in Birchboxes)

-Caudalie Divine Oil (YES!!!! I've wanted to try this forever, and I'm so happy I got it)

-LAFACE Beautiful Eyes Concentrate (There isn't a snowball's chance in hell I'd pay $160 for a damn eye cream, but it'll be nice to try)

-Supergoop CC Cream (This stuff looks too pink for my yellow toned skin, but I'll still try it)

-Hail Merry Chocolate Macaroons (I'm all about vegan foods and sweets, so this is very exciting)

Kind of funny that I got the Divine Oil because that in no way fits my profile, but I'm not complaining. I'm assuming I got the eye cream because I changed my profile to say that I make six figures annually, haha. I'm bummed that I didn't get the Youngblood Mattifier. The only thing that bugs me is that some people are getting six items to review. I feel like we should all get an even number of things to review, but whatever. This is probably my favorite box I've gotten in a while. 

You and I got the same box!

I wanted to share this with you guys and since BB is still sending Evologie's Intensive Blemish Serum and I got it from BB I think it's relevant to this thread. I reviewed that product on my blog and today I got an email from Evologie saying they would be featuring me in their news page. I know this is not much and prolly for you guys with super popular blogs, tons of views and a bunch of followers, it's nothing. But for me to have the actual company read something I said about their product is huge, actually, for me to have anyone talk about something I wrote on my blog is huge :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Just wanted to share with you guys cuz I got super excited :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 
Congrats! That's rad! I'd be super excited too if I were you! I've checked out your blog a couple times when you've mentioned in threads for various whatevers, and you do a really good job. It's a great blog! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Congrats! Hopefully you will get more followers after being featured on their site.

 
Just another reason I love birchbox!!! I'll have just shy of 300 on my other account so I'll wait another month or so in that one
400


 
My truck is finally clicky but no updated shipping info.  My page still shows March box, too.  Meanwhile I'm trying to narrow down which box I'm getting but box page 19, 30, 32, and 33 isn't loading.  Does anyone know how many different boxes there are this month?

I love the Kerastase products too!  I got the shampoo for $30 using my 20% off.  It's still very very expensive.  Then remembering that Keratase is the high-end hair product line of the same company that owns L'Oreal, I looked into L'Oreal.

They recently launched a new line of hair care with many ingredients closely paralleling that of the Keratase line, ceramide, hyaluronic acid etc...  I looked for a match for the Kerastase that I use, got a sample of it - L'Oreal Total Repair 5, Shampoo & Conditioner and my hair loves it as much as the $42 bottle... and I like the scent more.

Just a thought~

Anyone know what size the Youngblood mattifier is?  I'm getting box 4 and I think the YB is my full-sizer.  I'm not really into it, and I'd like to trade it out, just not sure how large it is and of it's 'currency' value.

Thanks for the tip! I will have to look for it.
 
April's box marks my one year.  I want to take a break for a few months and get through some stuff, will BB just automatically re-sub me?
