Birchbox April 2014 - SPOILERS

[Kimsuebob]

I just got the Inika in a swamp. I swatched it last night and am so excited to use to today! It looks so pretty. You ladies have definitely given me eyeliner courage (well, really makeup courage). Before I became a subscription addiction in October, I was a creature of habit and had been faithful to Almay's dark gray liner. (I may have been using it since high school). Changing beauty product brands just really stressed me out. Now I have silver (Physician's Formula), blue (Chella), purple (Butter London), green (Inika) and black (Eyeko) – and I'm loving each one and even playing around with liquid liners.  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I have been using brown for as long as I can remember and now I have purple and green and am going to try some other colors. And I have always been sooo afraid of liquid liner but I tried one yesterday (in brown /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> ) and I really liked it.

I got the e-mail too!  So awesome not to have to add random things to get free shipping /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I have liquid in Eyeko and Chella, and I'm loving the Chella. It just seems to go on easier.

agreed! that was my biggest pet peeve around the holidays, but most of the time I end up ordering at least one item that qualifies for free shipping without having to "find" something.

I got the aces email too! How exciting!

Wow! Godspeed! I kept telling myself I would save up for a big perfume purchase or something, because I would like to. But ordering stuff every few months is so much fun! I might just save the points and just order the BP oil though because it is *that* good.

The funny part about Aces is I almost have enough points to have it again for another year. They need a second level, like Sephora's VIB Rogue (except actually do something with it) LOL.

Okay I just re-calculated and my example isn't good: I didn't start my second account until later in the year so I only accumulated 411 in 2013. So I guess I won't get it on that account. Not sure... but it's pretty easy to accumulate 500 pts/year so I'm assuming anyone who does reviews would get it?
I'm already at 290 for this calendar year strictly from the sub itself (just reviews and the renewal of my annual sub, so no store purchases.  And that tally on the Aces page does exclude Sorry points, so you don't have to deal with doing the math there), so, yup, do all of your reviews every month, and you're set.  If they actually deliver on the promise of bonus goodies, they stand to draw a lot of business away from Sephora due to Sephora's failure to deliver on its promise of extra awesome stuff for Rouge.  I wonder how many people will switch to annual subs once they realize those points would be more than a fifth of the total needed to hit Aces level.

Agreed. And the fact that they've been getting a lot more products lately, both high end and low end, has given me little reason to shop anywhere else.

I never got the e-mail, but the link that was provided says I'm an Ace. Maybe they'll send the e-mail to me eventually.

I am so excited for free shipping/ what's to come with this program! Love Birchbox, and I love that they keep it interesting!

When I have to replace my BP oil, I'll just buy it out-right... that just gives me more points at the end of the year. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Here's the link for it.

I got the Ace email too!  I love Birchbox.  For my English class this semester, we had to write a paper reviewing something of our choice (book, movie, restaurant, website, pretty much anything), and I chose to write it on Birchbox because I knew I could write 4-5 pages on it without a problem.  I got every single female in my class to sign up after my paper was passed around, haha. 

I'm a little late joining in on the spoilers for April, but I think the boxes look great this month!  I am bummed though that all the ones that look fabulous have duplicates for me though.  I've already received a Sumita liner, and the N4 clarifying shampoo - which I loved.  I've gotten the Harvey Prince Yogini (another love!), and the Camille Beckman Body Butter.  I would love to get a box with the Paula's Choice just because that item is a holy grail for me and I can never have enough.  I would love the Shea Terra too.  I honestly don't think that there is a bad box in the bunch as of now though.

I'm only at 335 for this year so far. I guess I need more referrals, lol.

I hope you made them all use your referral link! lol.

I got the Ace email and I cancelled earlier this month.  Gah, they keep trying to suck me back in!  I will definitely still use the free shipping and the occasional code for placing orders though.

Edit: Nevermind /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Have a great day!

I'm 17 points from Aces, what's funny is I have a $20 order sitting in my cart right now. I should just pull the trigger, eh?
