Birchbox April 2014 - SPOILERS

[trustlust]

2 of 3 my have shipped. But both of them go to a different address than my main account. Cutting down to 2 subs after this month tho. Using the 3rd for amazing promos. lol.

No interest in the new LE box on my end either...some interesting items, but not brands/products I was particularly looking to try.

Hoping they'll be putting out a Mother's Day box too. I tend to like the LE boxes better when they feature things other than just makeup (paper products, food items, trinkets, etc.), and I would guess (based on history) that the Mother's Day box would fit this bill!

i looooooooooooooove KIND bars too. i used to "sample" them out when I worked at Starbucks. They're so expensive. My favorite is the Dark Chocolate+PeanutButter + protein (or is it fiber?). Its so good.

Got a clicky truck on one of my three accounts. I'm surprised one of them shipped before the tenth. Why do they have to put kind bars in every box when they know people have allergies? I wish birchbox would be more sensitive with this issue. First the chocolate last month and now this, smh.

The fact that they sent chocolate with some kind of nut in it when nut allergies are very common blew my mind. While, I'm not allergic to all nuts, I am extremely allergic to almonds, so my candy got donated. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

My impression of this box is Earth Day, all the way. If I recall correctly, it's usually April 20th, although that's also Easter this year.
I'm thinking it's just a marketing strategy to shine a light on the natural products available on BB.  With them unveiling the conscious picks AND having this box?  It seems like a case study for my integrating marketing communications course.

@quene8106 & @trustlust...I have the same problem! I'm allergic to tree nuts, but I avoid peanuts too bc of equipment contamination...I wish they had an option on our profiles for allergies, but I understand that it would be a nightmare for them to sort through all of their subscribers...It makes the most sense to pull nut products completely, but I think our nut/legume loving friends would be pretty bummed out! Word on the street is peanut butter is pretty addicting (although I can say the same for my sunflower seed butter!))

 

[quene8106]

Luckily I can eat some of those products they send but I feel bad for the people with allergies. If they found a way to not get perfume every month, they can find a way to chill out on the food too. Depending on the flavor I get I might pass it along to my fiancé.

So one of my boxes shipped on the 5th from TN, went to IN and now is in NJ. Normally went is ships from NJ it takes 2 days, now it looks like it will take 5. SMH what kind of sense does this shipping make?

I ordered my sister a 3 month gift sub for her birthday. It took ten freaking days to get to her in Oregon from Tennessee. Like, really? It pissed me off because it's a gift, you know? I hate this Newgistics nonsense.

Are they sending out a peanut butter one?  I'm not allergic, but I know so many people who are.  My brother-in-law is severely allergic, so I tend to prefer to not even have peanut products in the house.  I know it would be difficult to cater to everyone's allergies, but peanuts are a pretty common one, so I would hope this particular flavor won't be in the box.
I have no idea, I just posted pics of what I happen to have.

Earth day is April 22nd. My DH's birthday!

To everyone who was asking about the Sumita liner: I just tried it today on my waterline for the second time. I applied it at around 7:00 AM. I checked my makeup at 10:30 and there was basically no trace of it left. It was the same way for me the last time I used it. So it's pretty much worthless for me. Everyone is different, but yeah. I just figured I'd share.

Heh. I just realized why April 20th stuck in my head: Some cities observe it on different days depending on what else is going on, but more importantly in Seattle and Portland, April 20th is 4/20. As in 420. As in a whole lot of stoners snickering to themselves.

I went to college in Vermont and "Springfest" ,aka earth day celebration, always fell on 4/20 weekend...I associate Earth Day with the same date because of that...

I gifted myself a 3-month subscription and luckily the PR lady hooked it on my main account so all of my points are added to my main account points! I'm so excited. and I got my welcome box which was really nice, but now I'm already stir crazy for next month!! I just discovered the greatness of face oil so I'm really hoping for a sample of that in upcoming boxes!

Is it not amazing? I've always had combination skin with the oily parts being stupidly ridiculous oily and acne-prone, so I was so super skeptical about putting MORE oil on my face. Took a leap of faith, tried Ole Henriksen, and wow. My skin is freakin' amazing. lol. I've had maybe 1-2 blemishes since using it. I swear by it now.
