It was a little thick in my opinion and started drying a little too fast so it started clumping (see middle finger). I didn't think I paint my nails that slowly.On the bottom is a picture of my nails indoors. On the right is a picture of my nails outdoors.

I had Poppy. The Red Wing website says Poppy is scented..it smelled like polish to me.

Looks great, I did not get the polish in my box, but I did order it in that exact same color.  Thanks!!!

Here is my box:  https://www.birchbox.com/shop/birchbox-1/april-2013/april-2013-bb22

 
I only got one macaroon in my package, but I've already had those before via ConsciousBox.  Looking forward to trying the moisturizer, Nexxus elixir, and the eye cream.  I am a little disappointed in Supergoop! sample sizes, but all in all a pretty good box.
 
I am not a nail polish person (I travel a lot so it's easier to get them done).

I gave in and bought the YoungBlood....I doubt anyone who gets it is gonna wanna trade it...So hopefully it works out!!!!

I went to sample my items yesterday and my Le Face eye cream lid had a crack and leaked all over everything.  I lost half of the eye cream and the box and my women's health card are all oil stained and ycky now, but nothing is really destroyed.  I let BB know, and they are sending me a replacement box.  She said that it may not be the same box though.  That was really nice of them and obvioulsy I hope i DON't get the same box.  Knowing my luck, I will get the YoungBlood in my new box and I won't like it, or I won't have a need for the full size I just bought

This is what I'm getting! Thanks for posting a picture...even more excited now that I can see the sizes of everything!

No problem. I hope you get your box soon!

Thank you for the pictures /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> it's a pretty shade, not to die for, but pretty ^^ and that's cool how fast it changes /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Also this doesn't look messy to me at all

SAME HERE! How weird!

Yep! They'll give you back the points and the money spent in the same amounts you used to purchase. If that's the only thing you bought, it should be a pretty easy return. If it's not the only thing you bought, they have a calculation they do that decides how much cash and points you get back for that one item, though it still should equal the price of the item in the end. 

Oh good. The only other thing I bought was a nail file, that I can also return. Still sad about the cream, though. I thought I had found my HG body lotion.

I didn't know that!! I'll try to post it later. My work computer doesn't like YT.

I just want my shipping info to become active on the UPS site. Or, it could be like previous months where it never updates and my box just shows up....

 

[tasertag]

I added part of my box to my trade list-- see below.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Here is my box:  https://www.birchbox.com/shop/birchbox-1/april-2013/april-2013-bb22   I only got one macaroon in my package, but I've already had those before via ConsciousBox.  Looking forward to trying the moisturizer, Nexxus elixir, and the eye cream.  I am a little disappointed in Supergoop! sample sizes, but all in all a pretty good box.   I am not a nail polish person (I travel a lot so it's easier to get them done), so my bottle is on my trade list (along with part of this month's Ipsy bag).  If anyone is interested, check it out!

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

I got this box too and I love this box. I was also disappointed with the eye cream sample but I think the full size is pretty small at only 0.5oz so it makes sense that the sample is itty bitty. But it should still last me a while.

URGH box was out for delivery at 7:30 a.m. yesterday and now it just says no updated delivery info.  WTF. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  What the hell does this mean?  And I did get mail delivered yesterday, just not my damn Birchbox!

 

[guenivere]

I got that orange Mirenesse Glossy Kiss lip thing... good lord, why did they send out that color? Orange is very specific to skin tones and mine says YUCK! I already used it (cos it looks red until you smear the clown makeup on) so it'll have to get tossed in the bin. Very disappointed.

 

[wildsp187]

Just used my first 100 points ever to get the color changing polish in "Groupie".. SO EXCITED.. I swear.. I'll save them next time..

Which one is the orange?

It seems like none of the people getting the 'youngblood' product actually got their box yet...? I want to know how big/small it is!! 

I'm getting the Youngblood product in my box. It says shipped on the 9th but no updates since then. I contacted BB and they said to give it until Mon.

Ditto.  Grrrr.  

 

[stefsteranne]

Has anyone gotten this one: https://www.birchbox.com/shop/birchbox-1/april-2013/april-2013-bb24?  That's the one I'm supposed to get and I've read reviews on the Mirenesse Glossy Kiss and I'm so worried the color is going to be garish! 

If you've gotten this box, can you share what colors you've received?

Thanks! =D

 

[MissMonica]

I got the Mirenesse in the bright red color and I'm head over heels in love!  I got it yesterday and wore it last night and again to work today.  I'm a fair-skinned blond and red lipstick usually makes me look a little like a kid trying on her mom's makeup -- but this doesn't at all.  It's quite moistuizing as well -- and if it's not enough moisture for you, I put blistex over the top and it doesn't glop at all. 

Picture below -- but don't judge my kissy face.  My fiancee and I like to joke about how the Kardashians never take pictures without the kissy face, so I took this to send to him last night.  This is not my normal picture face, I swear.
