Birchbox April 2014 - SPOILERS

[ScopeIt]

I have the UD 24/7 and Sumita both in black, and the Sumita is better in my opinion. Once it sets (just a few seconds after application) it doesn't budge -- the UD always transfers to my crease after a few hours. I think the application/texture is about the same for both.

I like the Sumita better than UD hands down. Its amazing.

I haven't gotten the sumita yet, but watch I still won't get it this box even though I have two accounts. Ha!

While I've never had much luck with pencil liners working for me, I'm actually really curious about the Sumita, especially if they send out fun colors.

I'm hesitant about there being so many boxes with No. 4 products, though. I tried to find an ingredients list, but I feel like the ones I keep seeing are marketing style ones. My routine is low-poo, which seems to end up cutting out a lot of options in the sampling world. =

Considering the number of subscribers who have already received it, and the number of boxes it is in this month, I would be willing to bet money it will be another Twistband type dupe (oh, but we gave you coral with anchors last time, this one is sparkley silver, TOTALLY DIFFERENT, bleh).

Haha I would actually be OK with that.  I got the black one last time and would love to try one of the other colors!  Lime green, purple, whatevs.  Just not black!  I have a lifetime supply from all my subs!

Purple please!!!

I got the black Sumita in my Birchbox about a year ago. Since then I have bought the little 4-pack on the Birchbox website and traded for a 2nd purple one. Urban Decay will not stay on my waterline, but the Sumita liners do. One tip, though ... if the application isn't great, sharpen just a little bit and they work great after that. They are the only eyeliners that don't disappear on my waterline or transfer or smudge.

I'm actually excited to try this then. Surely I'll get it in one of my 3 subs. lol.

After seeing the green inika liner swatched a bunch of places, I had to get one and while I was at it, I grabbed the plum Sumita one to try out something other than my usual black or brown. I liked both but the purple Sumita is soooo nice. It goes on so well and is a great color. I hope the April box has the lime green. And by the way, this is my first post. I subscribed in February and stumbled upon this site looking for some info on BB and now I have 4 different subscription boxes. So thanks for opening my eyes to subscription boxes.

I'm not crazy about all the No. 4 products either. I have the prep and protect spray, which I think I got in a BB awhile ago and I hate the smell. And I'm not picky about smells much.

I kind of wrote off the Sumita liner I got because I have so many black liners already. It's just been sitting there since I got it. I've been using the Urban Decay Liner in Zero, and it definitely doesn't stay on all day. I'm going to give the Sumita liner a go and see how it does. If it holds up on my oily lids, then it should pass everyone's tests. I'll report back!

The clarifying shampoo I got a while ago smells heinous. :/

I performed a pretty rigorous test by putting the Sumita on one of my waterlines overnight, just to see how it would hold up. I'm sure this was bad or whatever, I don't need a lecture, it was for science! Anyways, you could still see it in the morning, there was about 50% coverage left. So not bad!

Did it like... Melt in the outer corner of your eye? That's where I always have an issue.

Mine is opposite.. mine usually melts into the inner corner. Even my 24/7 will do it from time to time.
