Birchbox April 2014 - SPOILERS

[LizGeary]

I had signed up for a second box mainly to try to get the balm blush, and I got it!! But I actually don't care for it as a blush, maybe one of the other colors would be more flattering me? I'm not a huge fan of cream blushes, powder or pressed are more my style but I wanted to TRY something new, it actually is better IMO as a lippie. I really liked the color on my lips! It's buildable so you can control the intensity.

Oh gosh I'm glad to see someone else say this. That blush looked awful on me.. I looked like a clown! I was afraid to say I hated it bc so many peeps wanted/loved it

Ditto on this. I actually signed up for 2 extra boxes in order to increase my chances of getting it. Well, I got it in both extra boxes, and it look horrendous on me. lol.

blush always looks bad on my skin tone, I have no hopes it will look good on me as blush, but maybe as a lip item?

I think it looks fantastic over some lip balm. I tried it last night and I was so surprised, but as a blush it may be hard for me except with maybe the right brush, and a light touch.

I typically go to bronzy/peachy blushes. Benefit's Sugarbomb is my go-to. I got crazy the other day and tried to use my ChaChaTint (I usually use it as a lip stain - gorgeous!) as blush, and omg... I applied entirely too much and girl, it was awful. lol. I think I'll stick to my Sugarbomb. lol.

Yeah I really wanted the balm sample, got it and just need to face the fact that with my beautiful crater-like acne scars, cream blush just ain't gonna work lol! I'm so glad I waited to buy the palette, I was all grabby hands about it when I saw swatches but yeah...no. I'll have to try it as a lippie!

I just sorted through my hair stuff box. I can't believe how many shampoo/conditioner/leave-in treatments I have, but I still want more. No styling product, but shampoos/conditioners/masques/oils/leave-in conditioners? Yes, please! (And I just switched to Dollar Shave Club, so watch Birchbox send out razors again!)

We love Dollar Shave Club... I love the owners videos

Did anyone notice birchbox has Mother's Day packages but it says available on Tuesday, May 3rd? But may 3rd isn't on a Tuesday so I think they must be from a previous year. Unless there is something really wacky with my birchbox page. It's possible. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

OMG don't worry I figured it out. I was looking at the Mother's Day sets from last year and they added it to my page for "popular in makeup" lol.

Question for those that cancel led and re subbed using the extra 100 point code. Did you get rebilled for the month of April? I was billed on April 1 as usual and then I decided to try and play the system and canceled and resigned back up using the code and was billed a second $10 on the same account. I'm wondering how this is going to work. I feel like a cheat by doing it in the first place so I really don't want to contact BB. Will I get 2 April boxes on the same account? I knew I shouldn't have done it...

I (and many others) did this in March. Eventhough I had to explain it to the CS person I talked to about my gift sub, it works like this: 1 box per month per account. Having paid for March, I unsubbed, resubbed with the promo, and actually just prepaid for April. On any resub, they always charge immediately. It does not mean a 2nd box for the month on that account. So you've prepaid for May and won't be chargrd again until June 1st.

I am happy to report that even though I forgot to update my BB account with my new credit card info until the end of the day on the 1st they actually charged my card at 12:01am on the 2nd so my box will be on time, yay!

Are you guys finding your box items by using the app trick or is it actually uploading your box?

it uploads my box super early every month. I think it's a lucky glitch. Only works on one of my accounts

Same thing for me. It only works on my second account, not my main.
