Birchbox April 2015 (Spoilers)

[MissJexie]

I think that you can get a product again if you received in a curated box.

Also, you can get the same product in a different scent/shade etc and they consider it a different product. Although I have complained about that before and they've occasionally given me points to apologize, so if you do end up with a double of something, it's worth it to get in touch with them and let them know you're unhappy about it!

My box peek shows

Jane Iredale cheek and lip stain (PYS)

Temple Spa face and body balm

Real Chemistry Peel

Harvey Prince Yogini

Supergoop CC cream

I think I'm pretty happy if these are the actual box contents. I've traded before for the RC Peel and I actually have tried but wanted to give the Supergood CC cream another try.

I'm also getting the Mad Men NY box and just that and the lip tint has be anxious for my boxes.

PS-from what I can tell the numbered box pages aren't showing up yet.

Box twin (ACE account and annoyingly enough my one time "referral" account)

 

[Toby Burke]

Oh, yuck. I'm getting:

Whish Shave Cream (Meh, I've gotten it before)

Jouer Tint (My PYS)

Laqa Lip Lube (I've gotten this TWICE before)

Beaver Shampoo

Beaver Conditioner

No thank you, Birchbox! Please let this be a mistake.

Twin on my non ACE account

 

[Kerleisha Jones]

Oh, yuck. I'm getting:

Whish Shave Cream (Meh, I've gotten it before)

Jouer Tint (My PYS)

Laqa Lip Lube (I've gotten this TWICE before)

Beaver Shampoo

Beaver Conditioner

No thank you, Birchbox! Please let this be a mistake.

Me too! Fingers crossed that this is some unfunny belated April Fool's. I've gotten Whish and Laqa before and wasn't over the moon about either. Plus I NEVER use the shampoos and conditioners they give me- 1 for 5 is NOT okay -_- /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[Ineri218]

I'm getting the Jouer blush, jane iredale lip tint, beaver shampoo and conditioner and Atienne vanilla perfume.

I don't want beaver shampoo or conditioner.  It is probably foil packets that count as two of my samples.

I got two foil packets of shampoo in my Allure magazine this month for free

I do like my blush choice. This is what I picked.  

i wish i would have picked the eyeshadow now though because those colors look really pretty.  I always pick the wrong choice and regret it later.  Maybe I just want all the choices but not beaver shampoo

I'm 99% sure that you're still not supposed to receive dupes of something you previously rec'd in a curated box.

The reverse is not true; if you choose to receive a curated box that thus results in a product repeat that's your choice & NOT their fault, problem, etc...& they actually advertise that it can at times be a good thing as it's your one opportunity to get a repeat of a sample you really liked.

It is definitely true though that if something is a different scent or color it's not considered the same, though I've not found this to be a frequent occurrence.

When I rec'd (for the first time) two repeats in my (non-curated) box last month they were very apologetic & explained that it happened due to them having originally been in a welcome box from a gift sub prior to it "linking" w/ my account. I don't fully understand why that shouldn't have happened after-the-fact, esp as it has on other gift subs I've rec'd, but the explanation was offered solely as that - to explain - and not as an excuse, so I'm not complaining, especially as they also explained how to avoid the initial non-profile-linked welcome box w/ a repeat gift sub, something I'd always wondered about but not pursued.

They gave me 100 apology points which I'm totally ok with as that's essentially a free box or $10....more than sufficient to compensate for two repeat samples in my opinion.

Hope this helps!

Ladies - I'm assuming I'll get points for buying that Rifle Tote?  When do we normally see points for add-on items?

No tracking info for my MMNY box yet!

I was also wondering when the Plus item points show in our account, since it is on my credit card.

I just got my points for the Plus items this morning!  Check your account.

I'm also getting this:

La Fresh wipes

Beaver shampoo

Beaver conditioner

Jane Iredale (PYS)

Harvey Prince body butter

Shampoo, conditioner + Harvey Prince product= box of death.  I regret not picking the Mad Men CA box.  I did pick the NY box in my other account.  Curated boxes never have shampoo/ conditioner sets and I got a shampoo last month too on this account.

Both of my boxes are getting this shampoo/conditioner (worst name ever). From now on I am doing one sub always curated.

The name also made me giggle at work. I was like uhhhhh what??? Really?

The 10th can't come soon enough! *praying* that my box spoiler is wrong. I made the mistake of leaving my non ace account up to chance and it's showing that I'm going to receive all things that I've received on my ace account

 

[cpl100]

I"m receiving Clean eau de parfum, Beaver Shampoo and Conditoner, Jane Iredale stain and (I hope) something else as the last one just shows and empty box on my (non Ace) account and the NY box on my Ace account.

I wish I had been able to get the NY box on my non-Ace account and maybe I would have gotten something better if I'd picked the JA stain on my Ace account.  Then again, I've never received any of these samples so maybe not.   

Got the #4 shampoo and hair mask on this non-Ace account last month so not very happy.  Their website does not list ingredients.  But if this has sulfates, it won't work for me.

Clicky truck for my Ace account and non-clicky truck for the newer one.

 

[SDSuperChargers]

omg. the contents of my box loaded on the website.............not too thrilled.

whish shaving cream (AGAIN?)

pop eyeshadow (dont use eyeshadow)

real chemistry peel

olphica hair serum

jane iredale stain (my PYS)

box twins and I too already received the shave cream /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> did anyone do the add on and not have it show? They charged me for it and I have yet to have them show in my account /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[cpl100]

If I buy something and pay for it with points, do I get points?  And do those points qualify towards Ace status?

The cheat isn't always accurate or fully loaded this early.  If it's not right when boxes officially load on the 10th, contact Birchbox CS.

 

[Trixie Belden]

Ugh!  My box isn't loaded yet and I still have March shipping info on my acct page.  I did get my points for my plus items though!  I'm seriously thinking of referring myself for the Mad Men box.  2 boxes a month is still half the price of PopSugar.

You only get points for actual money spent out of pocket.  One point for each dollar spent.
