Perk of having 5 boxes

Quote: Holy moly, you have 5 accounts!!! Haha you are one dedciated BB subscriber. Did you have to create new emails just to do that? I would be too scared of dupes to do more than 2 accounts. I'm a wuss! But across your subs you are getting some good stuff! Woohoo
Yeah I'm freaking nuts. They almost all started as gift subs, then I just kept adding.  I have 5 legit emails that I use (like I said nuts, two of them are legit work emails). I should note that my profiles are very, very different, I did that to get a wide variety of samples and it works, no dup boxes yet, one profile is completely empty, one has everything checked that can possibly be checked, the other three are a combo of choices.  I think that's the key to not getting dup boxes, strive to make your profiles at different as possible.

  5 Birchbox subscriptions?  Whoa!  I'm jealous!  I just opened my 3rd for this month.  I'm considering a 4th. 
I know, it's stupid. But that's my limit. I had only one box for a year before I started adding subscriptions.

I swear a lot IRL but I realize it's neither ladylike/professional and some folks are sensitive to curse words. So I use crap-ton and doo doo poops in place of sh*t/sh*tty.

Looks like I'm getting box 1.

Klorane Dry Shampoo - I love this stuff, so I'm excited to get more!

Cynthia Rowley Beauty Eye Pencil - I can always use more eye pencils.

theBalm How 'Bout Them Apples? - I'm excited to try this, I love theBalm products.

KIND Healthy Grain Bar

nyakio Face Polish + Body Scrub + Face Oil - Probably going to be foils, but I don't mind. I've never heard of this brand so I'm curious to see.

Overall, I think I'm getting a great box this month!

One of this box:

Sumita eyeliner

Kind Bar

Paula's Chocie RESIST

Miss Jessie's Transitioner Magic

Gilchrist & Soames body wash

THREE of this box:

Number 4 Mask

HP Yogini

Number 4 Shampoo

Kind Bar

CC Nail Polish

Sumita eyeliner

......How am I getting THREE of the same box??? A box I'm not even excited about. Kind of annoyed about this one. I am excited about the Paula's Choice and Miss Jessie's in the first box. But I wanted some brow gel! And maybe a Cynthia Rowley eyeliner! And BP spray! And Supergoop CC Cream! And I get none of those things. Also, I already own the Sumita eyeliner travel set so I definitely don't need four more of those. 
I think the 2nd box is the one associated with the promo code (SFBB100).  I'm getting this box on the account that I used the code with.

LOL! At least it's only $8!!

 

[itsMac]

@casey anne yes! You are my frugal enabler!

I was sooooo excited to see Birchbox mention their meeting with Beauty Blender on Instagram...and now (woohooo!) Beauty Blender is in the Birchbox shop!

This calls for a Dancing Banana...

Ugh at April. Bring on May already.

My box should've been here to day because it was in Atlanta yesterday but nope, thanks newgistics. So I peeked at my contents and also found pics of it on instagram. Not terribly excited about foil packets of davines (hopefully the oi shampoo and conditioner is better than the love formulas) and a small thing of body wash, and that anastasia brow gel i despised when i got it from ipsy (however, with that said, i will try the brow gel again just to see if i got a crap sample from ipsy, i felt like i didn't get any product out of it at all). I'll just eat my kind bar and paint my nails and pout when I get my box.

Don't mind me though, I've just been very stressed today and was excited about my box and then it killed my mood further (waah wahh i'll be over it in an hour bahahah).

I used that promo code and am getting box 32.

@kawaiimeows I haven't tried any of the BB davines products, but I did get a ton of the Davines MoMo shampoo and conditioner at a Loews hotel on a work trip and I really love it! Hopefully the oi is just as great! I've noticed a lot of the shampoos/conditioners are for color treated or mega moisturizing this month...I kind of love that!!

That's good to know! I'll probably give it a try on a day I don't have to leave the house because the Davines LOVE made my hair extremely oily. It's definitely one for dry or damaged hair, not oily virgin hair.

 

[itsMac]

eek....hopefully this davines line doesn't make you oily!!

 

[kawaiimeows]

eek....hopefully this davines line doesn't make you oily!!

The description said for all hair types so I'm gonna hold em to that!

 

[ramblingsofkai]

Got BB25 not my kind of box. Was really hoping for the nail polish or any of the nyakio products. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

What is the hate about with #4?

My main box hasn't loaded yet... ugh. But I'm pretty happy with my 2nd and 3rd boxes even if there are a lot of dupes. I'm especially happy for the BP spray because I've almost ordered it without trying it!!

Account #3

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
oh i see. actually, it is the first link. so i guess it hasn't loaded yet. I totally thought that means box 1 

Thanks a lot! maybe i will just have to wait till it comes then. at least i now know that i have a chance of not getting dupes.

 

[ScopeIt]

3 sodding boxes, 2 total dupes, and no frigging TheBalm. I give up!

Oohhh... I didn't know that! So I guess that means my box hasn't loaded yet.

  Thanks for that info!
