Birchbox April 2014 - SPOILERS

[TXSlainte]

According to Newgistics, my box was picked up in TN on the 4th, and arrived in NJ 6 days later on the 10th. And then....nothing. Oh yeah, I'm in Texas, so New Jersey is in the exact opposite direction. So if it took 6 days to go from TN to NJ, will it take 12 more days from NJ to TX?

4/4/2014    01:38 AM    Your package has been prepared, and it's got your name written all over it.   Mount Juliet, TN 37122

This was 10 days ago!  It says my "package has been prepared".  It doesn't say shipped.  Is it sitting in Birchboxes warehouse or has it been picked up and is on a truck somewhere? 

I have no idea what the temperature is in TN this time of year, but I imagine its warm. My eye pencil had better not be melted -- ha!
Mine was started on the 3rd, shipped out on the 4th and didn't update again until the 11th for NJ and nothing since, what state is the final destination for yours.  Maybe you happened to hit upon a smaller hub the rest of us might not get?  Maybe like WY or WA?

Uuuggghhhhhh I'm getting box 19. This is the 4th month I've got a horrible box filled with nothing fun. I wish I didn't buy an annual sub

I would have LOVED that box!  I guess its true what they say about one man's trash being another's treasure - ha!  Whenever I get a box I'm less than thrilled with, I always think that at least I get the points.  It does stink that you got 4 boxes in a row that you were unhappy with though.

I tried the blue today, and I thought it was very goopy as well.  I hope a little thinner will help it out because I really enjoy the finish/color.

The green is fairly goopy as well, but it self-leveled with the second coat, so I didn't mind too much.

That is what the blue did to. It levels well on the second coat.

Is it because they are minis? I never have luck with the color clubs I get in my BBs. I've never tried their full size though to compare.

On a super good note: did y'all see the bb Stilia cosmetic giveaway on IG? I would die a little if I won this. I freaking love Stilia.. There I said it.

Yep, it's the mini size and the size of the brush in them that doesn't quite work somehow. I have tons of full size color club and they are all fantastic formula and wear.

i received new tracking info on one of my boxes just now, but it is not the box I'm worried about. hmm..

 

[dawn767]

This reminds me, I need to do my nails... I can't wait to try out the blue CC I got in this month's box. I've seen the white and green variations, and of course I got blue... isn't there one more?

Just FYI anyone who has been contemplating a new subscription, sfbb100 just gave me 200 pts for a new account /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> (And yes, for anyone keeping track, this means I have WAY too many boxes coming my way this month!)

I'm super tempted to open a fourth account just to get the 200 points... XD And I haven't even received any of my first three boxes yet, haha.

Me too! I keep telling myself that I don't need it though! I'm already getting a CC nail polish with each of the three boxes I'm getting.

Totally worth it IMO! If you refer yourself, that's 50 points in another account, and 250 points (after reviews) in the new account - that's $30 worth of points for spending $10!

Hahaha you're definitely not alone. 

I'm thinking about going for a fourth, but I'd cancel one of my other ones so I'd still have three. The points are just such an excellent deal!

I'm probably going to stick to one or maybe two boxes for May, but having 50 points just sitting in each of the other accounts (after reviews) means I'll have to reactivate them sometime in the future /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Maybe when there's another good code!

I haven't even gotten any of my April boxes yet and I'm already thinking about May....oops!

 

[LizGeary]

So I just ran out on a gift sub and used the sfbb100 code for 200 points!! Woo hoo! I already got an April box from this account (the last one in the gs) that means just an early bill for May, right? I won't be billed again on the 1st?

 

[tacehtpuekam]

Ahhh I couldn't help myself. Attempted to cancel/use SFBB100 on my other two accounts. It let me on one, but not the other. Sooo I cancelled the one & referred myself from my main account to get the 50 referral points. 450 more points
