Birchbox April 2014 - SPOILERS

[ashleygo]

I got one of my boxes today. A complete surprise...I hadn't checked tracking for any of them. While it's a really great box, I felt kind of meh about it. I don't know the box number because I haven't been checking, lol. I did not get an email asking about the Cynthia Rowley eye liner. The Kind bar is missing because I had just gotten home from work and I was starving. Wasted no time eating it...it was maple pumpkin seed with sea salt. It was delicious! I'll trade the balm and the eyeliner...not my colors. Do we have a trade thread yet?

Looks like a good box, other than the fact you don't like the liner or the balm. Wonder if this is what my box I got the liner email will be.

Got shipping info on my 2nd box (not updated though) no shipping info for my main acct.  Can't wait to see what I get!

 

[meaganola]

No tracking on my main box, and my reactivated account doesn't even show that I'm getting an April box yet. Sad face!

 

[anbdobbs22]

I got the same box today. I think the is the first time I have ever got a box before the box pages updated.

Me too, but this is only my second month so I guess that really doesn't count, lol.

Box twins! I'm very pleased with this box!

Same! I *love* the spray and eyeliner. Ive already ate the Kind bar. The nail polish isn't really my jive but it fits perfectly in a box I'm loading up for a friend. And the CC cream is actually my color. Its a great box IMO.

I have a clicky truck!  My box was picked up in TN on the 4th!  And it's currently...somewhere on planet Earth!

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.
Earth day is April 22 this year.  I only know because that's when I'm having my son!

Yep...It has some nice items...just not the color

Well I have a clicky truck, but according the tracking the box still hasn't been picked up yet....

Congrats!

I wonder if you get to review the rainy day tips since they said they'll be selling them in their shop?

 

[katiecoll]

Question for anyone that's box or other purchases that have gotten lost in transit to you- do the lost packages usually find it's way to you eventually or are they forever lost?

Probably not. We didn't get to review the note cards from ( I think) April 2012. The rainy day cards are probably the same. But we won't know for sure until the 10th when box pages officially go live and people start reviewing their products.

Only two more days!!

Off topic but I just wanted to share /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Just got home from a birchbloggers event for miss Jessie's & it was a blast. It left me wishing for curlier hair because those ladies looked amazing after the demos! We also got a goodie bag with 3 of the newest products and a $50 certificate to the miss Jessie's salon. I was really impressed.

rolling my eyes at the fact that someone gave this a bad review in the BB shop because they don't want it as a sample, i personally thought it was a cute idea (and rainy season is in full force where i am right now) and i wish people would accept that lifestyle items are fair game.

would i pay $10 for it? probably not. would i gladly browse it and use it on a rainy day if given one in my birchbox, probably.

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.

Can't and shouldn't people who have severe allergies or even allergies at all read the ingredients labels on food items before putting them in their bodies, though?  I mean, if peanuts are going to kill you... don't eat unknown food items.  It doesn't seem that particularly difficult to me, but maybe that's just survival of the fittest working it's way through the gene pool. 

I have a decently severe food coloring allergy, and I always read all the labels...

that kind of sounds like it makes life...difficult or interesting. i always was under the impression that food coloring was in a lot of stuff.

Haha, it can be for sure! 

It's mainly red 40 lake that I have a sensitivity to.  I just make sure anything I'm eating, drinking, or putting on my lips doesn't contain it, and we mainly keep "all natural" (things that don't contain dyes/coloring) types of snacks in the house.  If I'm  having a decently bad allergy day/week I will avoid all the red dyes.  If it's not red, pink, or purple colored though I usually don't worry about it.  Worst case scenario, I have to take some benadryl and a xanax (because it makes me extremely irritated and itchy, and I will sometimes break out in hives).
