My friend did this, too!!! Except she had been subscribing for a year AND she was also getting Birchbox Man for her fiance! 1200 points!
I have a friend that has been subscribed since June of 2011... And never knew how amazing the points system was until last week. I literally couldn't speak for a few seconds just thinking about all the lost points.

So far the products are looking promising to me.  I can knock out quite a few because I've already received the Bee Kind Lotion.

You know, that and the facial serum are the only things I DO NOT want... and i'm just trying to ignore the fact that those products are offered. Cause if I don't acknowledge them, they won't send them, right? /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> lol.

I got the No 4 clarifying shampoo (In January 2013 D: ) So that seems to count out a lot of boxes so far. Also I got Kleims and The Balm last month.

I told my husband earlier that since I've already received Coola in one beauty sub, I'd better brace myself for Supergoop as well.  Lo and behold, here it is and I'm 99% sure I'll get it. 

Ideally, I'd love theBalm so I can try to get the hang of cream blushes and the eyeliner because apparently I hoard eyeliners.  The struggle is real.

Wow, lots of really great box combinations! And lots of opportunities to get theBalm if you haven't already. Thanks for posting!

Is this lotion any good? I like the concept of this lotion, so I want it to be good.

I got the lotion in a pick two, and I like it. Very citrusy smell and you only need a little. I wouldn't mind getting another.

I got the BeeKind lotion in one of my boxes a while back, and I liked it too. Nice scent and not too greasy!

So far I've seen a lot of things that I would be happy receiving.  I can knock out quite a few of them because I've already received the Bee Kind Lotion.

I agree with the other gals on the lotion. The scent was very nice and the lotion had a nice texture. It was moisturizing without being too greasy.

If you like a lemon-y scent it seemed to have a hint of it, nothing over powering or like lysol just a light sweet scent.

Random question – does anyone have a makeup remover that they love? I was using Clinique, but I think it feels greasy and am not really a fan. I got a deluxe sample of Neova's makeup remover recently, and I'm liking that one better, but was looking to try something else. I probably have a 1-2 weeks left on it and thought I'd check here for suggestions.   /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Hmmm...I like lemon, so that just might work.

I've posted this elsewhere but I want as many opinions as I can get: I am moving on or shortly after April 23rd because my husband is being restationed (military) and they decided to send us a month earlier than I thought they were. The thing is, I can't update any of my subscription service addresses yet because we don't yet have our rental and we won't until after the first and then it will be too late. Have any of you ever had experience with forwarding your mail from one address to another? Should I just change the addresses to my dad's, who lives in the town? I really have no clue what to do here. I don't want to change the addresses and my subscriptions get lost and I don't want them lost in forwarding either. Can anyone share their experiences with having packages forwarded? Does anyone know how much longer it takes for the mail to get forwarded?

If you use waterproof makeup, I would say Lancôme bifacil (autocorrect chanced it to biracial lol--glad I proofread it) or neutrogena. If not, koh gen do cleansing water which is gentle and doesn't strip the skin dry.

I second the Lancome recommendation! I like it a lot better than the Clinique, which stings my eyes a little.

So, a little OT, but birchbox related. Did anyone get the birchbox finds box and try the Biore self heating mask? I tried it tonight...I am not a fan. MY skin is soooo greasy now (About two hours later). So I hope I get a GOOD mask in my birchbox this month!!

I've had great luck getting my mail forwarded, and I haven't had a package lost. It seems to take a couple days to a week longer to get mail and packages.

I just asked my mom about this because she works at the post office, and I've had my mail forwarded before. She said if you have the mail forwarded and it's something sent First-Class you'll get it no problem. If it's not first class, you may have to pay extra postage to receive it at the forwarded address. You can set up a forwarding address pretty easily on the USPS site, but I would do that and also try and change everything to your father's address. All your accounts that you can think of, just so you don't have to worry as much about not getting packages.

All box combinations so far, in spoiler because it's image heavy!

You're amazing!  Thanks for taking the time to put all that together.
