Birchbox April 2014 - SPOILERS

[Jamie P]

So my second account is getting...

Number 4 Masque

Number 4 Clarifying Shampoo

Anastasia Brow Gel

Color Club Art Duo Pens

Bija Body Serum

Kind Bar

Opinions... The hair products I'm kinda Meh on. I'll use them, but I don't really get excited about them. The brow gel I already have and use, so I guess it's nice to get another one. Just not excited about it. The art pens... I won't use. I rarely paint my nails as it is and do not get into nail art. The body serum is interesting as long as it's a decent size (foil or bottle I don't care as long as it's large). I've never tried a Kind bar so that is kinda nice. I can toss it into my jacket and eat it when I need a snack.

My mail account is getting...

Number 4 Masque

Number 4 Clarifying Shampoo

Sumita Eye Pencil

Harvey Prince Yogini

Color Club Gala Gem Polish

Kind Bar

Opinions... Surprisingly the dupe of the hair products don't upset me that much. I'll use them. It's not like a dupe of something I won't use. The eye pencil makes me happy as long as it's not lime green or black. If it's purple I'll be happy! The perfume... well I haven't gotten a Harvey Prince one yet so I'm kinda happy to try one. I hope it is something I will wear. I am happy for the nail polish IF it's in blue or (preferably) green. I'll toss the Kind bar into my purse. Diabetics always need snack around. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Over all I am happy with both boxes. I think it's a good variety for me! The only item I won't use is the nail art. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Was the cynthia eyeliner the one where people were sent emails on color choice? I was never sent an email but I am receiving that liner.

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!
I think the CR liners are going out in black or silver, and the Sumita liners are going out in Plum.

They said in the sneak peak video that they were sending out sumitas in both black and plum

 

[Lorenk]

WOW I am NOT happy with my box. I am getting FOUR items, and one of them is the damn kind bar!
I am also getting Color Club nail pots, first time I've ever heard of those, and a shampoo/conditioner...probably two foils.

the only saving thing is the Cynthia Rowley eyeliner, but really, I could live without another eyeliner.

I'm just so annoyed after seeing all the good choices this month, I knew I was discounted from a lot of boxes because I got The Balm last month & have previously gotten the No 4 shampoo, but damn. If it wasn't for the eyeliner, I would swear that I had pissed off the birchbox gods.

 

[AshJs3]

I'm very happy with both of my boxes! They've been posted so I'm not going to copy them over. I'm getting 2 color clubs, hopefully they are different colors!

Of course!  I'm getting black liner in my Ipsy bag, so I'm hoping for silver then!  I have green eyes, so I love plum eyeliner.

Weird.  I'm getting that liner, but I didn't get an email.

Man, I really rarely complain about my Birchbox, but this month was a real bust for me:

Gilchrist & Soames Body Wash -- Just got the stupid G&S shampoo/conditioner products last month too, stop sending me hotel freebies Birchbox!

Paula's Choice RESIST Anti-Aging Clear Skin Hydrator -- Got Paula's Choice 2 months ago and generally not a fan of her products. But I'll say at least this fits my profile.

Miss Jessie's Transitioner Magic - Made for hair transitioning from relaxed to natural...I mean, it is great that they are sending products for people with specific needs...but I don't have relaxed hair. This one is a huge WTF for me. 

Sumita Eyeliner-- the one thing I am excited to try! Crossing my fingers for plum, betting on black.

KIND Bar - okay, this is fine too.

Overall, just really unexcited, bleh! Can't decide if it would be worth it to reach out to BB or not...I doubt they would do anything, since this is the risk we take with monthly subs I suppose? Meh. This was my last month on my yearly and it is not leaving a very good taste in my mouth about wanting to renew!

 

[meaganola]

Weird.  I'm getting that liner, but I didn't get an email.

Same here. I'm hoping that means that I am getting neither the black nor the silver but rather the blue or the violet. I can rock a metallic pastel lid like nobody's business, and I received the green INIKA last mont on my other account.

This is my box too and I am thrilled.  I was bummed I didn't get theBalm last month and the coffee stuff sounds so interesting that I can't wait to try.

 

[bluturtle]

I'm getting box 31. I'm actually looking forward to trying the No 4 hair products. And this will be the first time in a little over a year of subscribing that I've received a 6 item box so that's kind of exciting.

So box 42 is mine. Here's some of my profile:

Dedicated enthusiast

Never too many bath and body products, makeup and skincare

No more than six fragrance samples

Samples, samples, samples

Classic beauty style

Hair too short for a ponytail

White, light skintone

 

[Kerryliz]

Ooohh box 3!

Anastasia Beverly Hills Clear Brow Gel
Beauty Protector Protect & Detangle
 
Supergoop!® Daily Correct CC Cream
 
Color Club Gala's Gems Collection
KIND Healthy Grain Bars
SO excited for the brow gel - always something I've thought about buying because I probably desperately need it, but never got around to!

 

[LizGeary]

I'm getting the eyeliner and I'm really hoping for the plum color but hey you can't really go wrong with black eyeliner! It's like having black flats or a black purse.. Sure I already have one but it will never go outta style and I could always use back ups! But seriously I want that plum! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
