I also received this email on a sub that is already a yearly subscription...

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.

You're the first person I've seen to have the same box as me! I've never used a hair mask so I am happy to try the hair stuff as well. And the Balm!

I don't typically wear blush, so I'm probably least excited about that of all the things in there!

Me too, I have been on a month to month for so long that it made sense,  plus I don't see myself letting Birchbox go anytime soon.

Oops just noticed you already had the yearly subscription, that is a little odd.

I'm getting Box 12. I'm excited about getting theBalm and happy about the polish, but I know nothing about the No 4 or derma e.  Are they decent products?  

Number 4â„¢ Lumiere d'hiver Reconstructing Masque

Number 4â„¢ Clarifying Shampoo - 8.5 oz

derma e® Hydrating Night Crème with Hyaluronic Acid

Color Club Gala's Gems Collection

theBalm® cosmetics How ‘Bout Them Apples?™

KIND Healthy Grain Bars

My main account is getting this box: https://www.birchbox.com/shop/birchbox-1/april-2014/april-2014-bb29 Which includes-- *Number 4 reconstructing masque (my photo hasn't updated but I'm guessing this is a foil packet??) *Supergoop City Sunscreen Serum (I got this on my 2nd sub last month but I don't mind a spare, it's perfect to keep in my purse!) *Sumita Color Contrast Eyeliner (Not really my thing but I'm interested in giving this a try) *Number 4 clarifying shampoo (ehh, didn't really want another shampoo but no biggie) *Color Club Gala Gem's Collection (Yayyy I was hoping for this! I just love polish) *KIND healthy grain bars (I love snacks in my bb, plus this puts me at 6 samples!!!) My second account is getting this box: https://www.birchbox.com/shop/birchbox-1/april-2014/april-2014-bb23 Which includes-- *Cynthia Rowley beauty eye pencil (I don't need another eyeliner right now but I'll hang on to it for later or trade it) *KIND healthy grain bars (not the slightest bit upset about getting another of these!) *Color Club Art Duo Pens (Seriously!? This is amazing. I am really getting into nail art these days!) *Madison Reed Nourishing Color-Enhancing Shampoo *Madison Reed Nourishing Color-Enhancing Conditioner So, another shampoo and conditioner set but at least it's a set... Too bad I didn't get this box today since I'm going out of town for the weekend and these would be perfect for travel! Oh well. Between the two boxes I'm pretty happy. I got a couple really great things that make up for the meh items. Also, I didn't go through the boxes this month like I do every other month and I think that helped my outlook. Not seeing what I'm really missing out on makes me happier about what I'm getting! The only exception is that I saw there was brow gel up for grabs and I have nice thick eyebrows that could use some taming... But overall I'm happy! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I wear very minimal blush but I have never used a cream so I want to try it and if I hate it, I have a lip color.

I like the Derma e products I have tried so far.  They seem to be good quality and work well.

Here are my boxes:









As you can see, I'm getting three sumita eyeliners with two dupe boxes. I'll only have two after this month since I used a code for the other two and now that I've earned my money back in points I'm canceling those. I'm very happy with my two main boxes (the two with pictures) and specifically my main box (the bottom one). Not a big deal with dupe products though as I have plenty of ways to get rid of the dupes

7 item box!!  I guess the Nyakio are the foils though?  And I can't eat the KIND bars- at least I don't think so.  I'm currently raw and vegan (2 month detox), so I mean, I guess it could wait around for a few months when I go veggie again?  Eyeliner's in silver, got an email confirmation about it.  AND WHY DO YOU KEEP SENDING ME NAILPOLISH BIRCHBOX?  I have so much.  I guess I'm hoping for the green?

Are you nearing the end of your year? I just upgraded last month to a yearly so I'm bummed about missing out on this code! My other sub is still monthly. I haven't gotten this email on that sub, but I'm not sure if I'm ready to take the plunge on a yearly for that account yet anyway.

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
Thank you!!

On my main account I'm getting the brow gel, beauty protector spray, kind bar, color club polish, supergoop cc.  On my second account I'm getting exactly the same thing except for Sumita eyeliner instead of brow gel. 

I'm okay with the dupes b/c I've been wanting to try the Beauty Protector spray FOREVER!! And had been contemplating buying some of the SuperGoop CC to try it. The color club polishes are usually okay, hopefully I get two different colors. I have a 10 year old daughter though who will take them if I don't like them. Kind Bars are fine with me too. And I'm also hoping for the plum Sumita eyeliner.  The brow gel is the only thing that I'm like MEH. I have a chella brow gel and an anastasia brow gel already that I don't use.

What box number is this? I only see 6 items and it's coming up kinda strange with the photos. But still that is a pretty nice box! I'm really curious about the Kenyan Coffee Face Polish! Edit: Nevermind looks like you and @MissTrix are getting the same box! I see all 7 on the photo she posted. COOL /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Very happy with my boxes this month providing that I actually receive these items this month. I am going to have some clean hair, that's for sure!

I got The Balm last month.  It works as a great lip stain too.

Good to know!

I need to e-mail BB... my profile basically only says I'm interested in Organic/Natural products. With so many good options, I got the Anastasia Brow Gel, Supergoop CC cream, Color Club, KIND bar, and the PC BHA gel. I just can't figure out why over 40 months, they have never "gotten me". I was hoping for the NYAKIO products, especially the face polish. Hopefully I can swap for it. I can't use PC BHA gel, but it's not natural anyways. Supergoop is crap -- they claim 100% natural then fill the CC cream with silicones, which isn't a natural ingredient. Super excited abotu the KIND bars, and although not "natural", I'm happy to have the brow gel on hand. Color club -- depends on the color! I hope I don't get gold, because I have a CC gold already (which I LOOOOVE for summer pedicures, it lasts forever on my toes and looks great with a tan). Oh well, I need to remind myself I sub'd this month because it paid me $5!
