Oribe Shampoo & Conditioner for Beautiful Color - I already have two shampoos in my shower from BB, but at least this one comes with a conditioner! I will def use them but hard to get that excited over shampoo and conditioner...

Skin & Co Bagnodoccia Body Gel - again, I'll use it but not very exciting (BB says this works well for sensitive skin, too bad that's not marked on my profile)

Supergoop Advanced Anti-Aging Eye Cream -  not sure why I got this as I'm only 28 and don't have Anti-Aging marked as an interest in my profile (this will be going on my trade thread)

Mirenesse Glossy Kiss in Quick Kiss - was really excited about this one until I opened it and looked at the color, I never do red lips /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> sign, another item for the trade thread (will be updated about I get the Ipsy box)

Kusmi Tea Paris -  can never go wrong with tea for me, but was really hoping for the eye roller ball /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 

I love Women's Health magazine, need to confirm I can use it on a renewal! (I'm sure that was discussed somewhere on here but too many pages to catch up on!) 

At least with a couple reviews I'll be up to 300 points so I shall be getting some goodies soon /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 

That's the same box i'm waiting on, a few others have received the same box on this thread.

I'm undecided if I like the box or not. The lipstick is a really bright red, but also works as a cheek stain. I just don't see myself using it as a lipstick. Hail Merry Macaroons were a lifestyle extra - those got gobbled up immediately. I'm looking forward to using the tiny sample of the oil. Rest of the box - Meh! 

That lifestyle extra item you got is AMAZING, omg I got a bag of them in the Healthy Surprise box I'm reviewing this week and couldn't believe how yummy they were.

After 16h out of the house today (work and classes) I finally came home to this wonderful surprise. I tore into it as soon as I pulled it out of my mailbox and before I made it inside my apartment.



I'm going to use the nail polish tonight!!! This is the highlight of my day /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

This is what I'm getting in my second box which hasn't updated for tracking yet.  I'm super excited about trying everything in this box!

That's nice of them, hopefully you get a good box if you don't get the same one.

I'll take two. One tonight and one tomorrow in the sunlight, if we have any - it's supposed to rain. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

That's horrible! I don't know how some people just steal from others without a care in the world that what they are doing is wrong.

It seems like only the three of us are getting box 13, but maybe they ran out of some of the stuff? Let us know what you did end up getting when you have time! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

So this is the box that I got: https://www.birchbox.com/shop/birchbox-1/april-2013/april-2013-bb40

 
It's definitely not a bad box but I was SO looking forward to the CC cream and the beauty protector in box 13 /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 
 
[SIZE=1em]Should I still email BB?  [/SIZE]

Hey lovelies, I'm not sure if someone answered already but are there any BB promo codes floating around other than the two for the Benefit mascara and bamboo cutlery? I'm dying to pick up the Youngblood mattifier with my points!

From experience, I usually don't see BB promo codes show up until the middle/end of the month.

I got 2 teabags!  Since it is super windy and chilly tonight I am going to use my Keurig for my hot water and try the tea!  I am not sure how I feel about the SuperGoop.  I don't like the name lol.  Goop just sounds so gross!  If you can't try it, bring it to the trade if you can make it!

Which flavors did you get?

I have to wait about a month for mine and that's not easy when I  see all these pics of everyone getting their boxes. I want my toys too lol.

Ohh that's right! I think I remember reading you're in Germany?

Yes, so I pretty much get  everything super late.  My February BB came in about two weeks so I hope its the same with this one. For some reason my BBs take forever to get here but if I order anything from their store it comes in one to two weeks. They should just let my box hitch a ride with my order lol.
