Birchbox April 2014 - SPOILERS

[vogliadivintage]

I shouldn't be sad for no makeup. I've got a veritable mountain of eyeliner.

 

[PeridotCricket]

  I have Box 7 this month, pretty happy with it!  Now I'm just hoping that the liner is in plum (is that the one they're sending out in plum?!) and the nail polish is anything other than white!!   Of course, I'm currently at 149 points, so I need to wait another month to order something so I'll get that 1 extra point for $20...argh!

If you are on the month-to-month sub, you can always cancel and then restart the sub immediately--it is a quick way to get ten points.

That's the box I'm getting on my gift sub. I hope the eyeliner is in silver. I have 43 points on my original account. If I don't get a 6-item box, I'm going to unsub/resub for May to put it over 100 points.

I received theBalm in last month's secondary box, but I'll either swap the backup or toss it in my makeup bag for backup.  I'm not sure about the Shea Terra (sensitive skin), but it will probably be easy to swap if I decide to not risk problems.  Everything else...  Not excited, but not upset (funny thing:  I *just( took color treated off my hair profile because it's been six months since I got highlights, and I haven't quite gotten around to getting them redone.  Maybe this is the universe's way of telling me to go ahead and get them again!).  Definitely looking forward to this!

So, wow, although I have a strong history with dupes between boxes within a single month, I'm only getting one same-month dupe in the nail polish, and maybe they will be different, and maybe I can swap!  And one month-to-month dupe, which is a nice item to get a dupe of!  This was a great month to go for two boxes for me.

EEEEEEEE!!!   I got box 38!   8 items, and it looks like I can review all of them!  I was kind of hoping for the Balm, and those samples are probably really small but hey, 80 points!

 

[PeridotCricket]

I unsubbed/resubbed on my month-to-month account around the 19th of March. I have no clicky truck, no shipping e-mail, and no April box page loaded.

 

[itsMac]

My main account is getting box 33; excited for the brow gel and polish! Have never used the CC or Paula's choice before, so happy to get something new!

My second account is getting box 47. Fekkai for colored hair! Sumita! Hello perfume! And more freaking Gilchrist & Soames.... G&S I just can't quit you, and I never wanted you to begin with (shakes fist in the air).

 

[meaganola]

this can't be right (or i'm hoping not). so i signed up using the 100 point code for two boxes, new to birchbox in both accounts. and I just checked that i got both box #1 in my accounts. is this correct? or am i missing some information?

It's possible you could have gotten dupe boxes. One of the risks of having multiple accounts, unfortunately. 

Have your box contents actually loaded yet, or are you looking at the generic box landing page? This is not what the box number URL looks like (you will see this URL every single month. Disregard it for the purpose of the box number): https://www.birchbox.com/shop/birchbox-1 Once box contents load, you will be able to access the box number under the Box History section. That URL will look more or less like this: https://www.birchbox.com/shop/birchbox-1/april-2014/april-2014-bb32

I am really excited to try the nyakio. I hope they are deluxe, but I doubt it since it is an 8 item box. My main account box was so disappointing. I LOVE hair products, but it's crazy how I get shampoo/conditioners almost monthly on my main account. I've had it for almost 2.5 years! I would love to try different types of hair products. Oh well, more travel stuff! I am super excited for CR eyeliner and the nyakio in my second box.

 

[magictodo]

Box 42 for me: a seven-item box!! https://www.birchbox.com/shop/birchbox-1/april-2014/april-2014-bb42

...what about upgrading to the yearly Subscription?  Would that kick in the 110 points?
Yes, but I would wait until there is a good promo code to do that--sometimes you can get an extra hundred points or get the sub for $99.  I have unsubbed and resubbed for points before and it just pre-pays the next month.  My boxes have always shipped on time when I did it and I have never been charged twice.  Hope this helps.

Main box (semi punishment box!) And it's only 5 items, boo! I have 140 points on that account, I would have like 6 items even if the 6th was just a dud sample!

Fekkai Salon Technician Color Care Shampoo (ok, at least I have a mini shampoo to take on our vacation next month now)

Havery Prince Hello (yay!)

Sumita Color Contrast Eyeliner (eh. My mom got this in her box and wants to give hers to me, so kinda dupe)

Kind Bars (Hopefully my kid will like it)

Gilchrist & Soames Spa Therapy Body Wash (Ehhhh.)

2nd box (GREAT BOX!)

Anastasia Beverly Hills Clear Brow Gel (YAY!)

BP Protect and Detangle (YAY!)

Supergoop CC Cream (ok- can always use another one of these)

Color Club (yay!- hope i get the blue or green)

Kind Bar (Again, hopefully kid/husband will like)

I can't review a bunch of the newer products. Hope they put the links up soon so we can!

Either BB has it out for me or I need to change my profile. I've been with BB for 2 years now and it feels like my boxes are more like, throw that it there and here, include this as well. Out of the first 48 box, I was eligible for 24 and I get the one box that I really didn't want. Same thing last month - got a box that that awful blue toothpaste. Boohoo to me! 

CR eyeliner

Heims shampoo

Kind bar

Supergoop CC cream
Skin & Co Truffle Serum

I would let any of them go for the Color Club polish in blue or green.

 

[klg534]

Yowza.. A 7 item box and a item box.. Both with color club...hoping I get two good colors!! Does anyone know if the Cynthia rowly eyeliner has always been full size??

 

[puppymomofthree]

Too funny--I think they heard me about the updating to a yearly sub with a code only idea!  Within minutes I got this e-mail, which is funny, because I have an annual sub on that account!  

  BB is watching me!  Ok BB, I want super wonderful new products in the BB Bonus Shop that can be added with a coupon code!

Looking for an easy way to score 2 free Birchboxes? Just upgrade to a yearly subscription by April 17—you’ll get two complimentary boxes per year, plus 99 Birchbox Points just for signing up. Talk about a pretty fab deal. Just use codeYEARLY99 at checkout.

I'm a lucky gal! Getting brow gel, cc cream, eyeliner, and blush between my 3 boxes. On the other hand.. ANOTHER bp spray. That mark 5 bottles of that stuff between boxes and pick 2s. Also got the black rose face wash!! Really wanted that!! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Other items: yogini perfume, color treated shampoo, 3 kind bars, and 2 nail polishes. Super sweet month!!!

 

[phanne]

When I was like 3 or 5ish, I found (aka stole) my mom's eyeliner and thought that I was supposed to line it on my eyeball, hence "eye"liner. I was traumatized after this experience, and have never used eyeliner since. I sub to 4 beauty boxes. I am getting an eyeliner in every box, not including the one I just got from the popsugar resort box. But seriously, they should be called "eye-area-liner." The name is misleading, I am not stupid! Let see if I can do it properly 30 years later...

I was just going to post the same thing! I will be 2 years in August and I have been super disappointed in my boxes lately. This month I'm getting Brow Gel Camille Body Butter Kind bar Color club polish Kiems shampoo I wish I didn't have a yearly sub. I would cancel this one and just keep my second sub which has been much better for me. Has anyone had success with contacting CS and having them help you with your profile?
