I agree.  I think I'm just going to take curly hair off my profile because I think THEY think I must mean I have super tight curls and I don't.  Plus my hair is fine (which is indicated) so putting something with that many oils and with glycerin as the second ingredient is really going to weigh my hair down.  I live in the gulf coast area.  High humidity+triple degree heat+heavy essential oil based products = not a good look for me.

Box 39



Box 27



Box 33



Box 3



Box 2



I wonder if I'll score all four shades of polish? 

Other dups are Supergoop, Anastasia and Beauty Protector.  So I'll have a few things to swap and lots of kind bars to eat!  


I will be stalking you for the color club!  lol

I'm interested in the kind bar, eye liner and the polish, but that's all. 
I received the Number 4 hair spray a few months ago and wasn't impressed, hopefully the shampoo and mask are better. Looking like a generic knock off from Sally isn't winning them any awards with me. lol

Box 3 came with Breakfast at

I'll see if I have any more boxes at home, I have a bad feeling I'm getting five bottles of the same shade.  

Oh well, if so they'll make easy gifts.

Does anyone know how we see the box content if we are new?

Yay! Just saw box 33 (my 2nd box) on Instagram and the polish is green.

It usually takes longer for those to update. Probably sometime next week.

I'm curious about the nail art pen! I'm seriously hoping the eyeliner isn't black... I have like 15 unopened black liners. I donate them, but it's still just so many sitting around until donation time! And I'd like to get products I'm actually excited to try. :-( Edit to ask if anyone knows the color of the CR eyeliner. Is that the one they sent out the email for to pick a color? I went back a few pages, but must have missed it.

You have just made my day! I was really hoping that 33 would have "Breakfast at..."!!

I peeked.  I'm getting Box 18.

Overall I'm OK with this box, but it's kind of boring.  And I love Birchbox to pieces.  But in general the product lineup for April just seems a little blah and repetitive to me.   

I do like the promotion this month for more conscious products, though I wish they would have included other nasty preservatives to avoid like formaldehydes,DEA/MEA/TEAs, etc., and brands against animal testing in the conscious group.   

I'd also like to start seeing more products for moms like the Bijabody tea.  That's a cool addition - I wonder if it was influenced by Katia's pregnancy?       

And who knows?  Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised by my samples.  I was just about to purchase some Anastasia Brow Gel, so at least now I can cross that off my list.

Oh man I'm getting box 33 as well, that's two Breakfast At's out of potentially 5 yikes!  

 

[itsMac]

Hopefully Breakfast At is your only dupe, and you end up with the entire CC Gaia collection @Ann Tucci!

 

[Lesliek0211]

I got Box41 https://www.birchbox.com/shop/birchbox-1/april-2014/april-2014-bb41

Pretty pleased with it, really excited to see what color the polish is. I'm glad I'm not getting any eyeliners, as I have a ton and I'm getting the UD one in my ipsy box.

 

[itsMac]

oooh jealous of your facial cleanser @Lesliek0211!

That would be pretty sweet, if I got that lucky.  Not too worried, my sister loves Tiffany's, she'll get my extra bottle of Breakfast At.

I know it's a small tube, but in my opinion that eye cream is fantastic...and $45 for a full size tube.  Mine just expired.  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  I hope you enjoy the sample!  A little goes a long way.

Greatttt... I couldn't get rid of the Coola and now I will have a supergoop wasting away with it! I used all of the coola in one swoop by accident! I squeezed the tube to do a swatch on my hand and I guess I was too vigorous, bc it all came out...my hand felt nice, though...
