Birchbox April 2015 (Spoilers)

[artemiss]

Just discovered an issue with my Ipsy cancellation. For some reason it did not go through and I am set to receive a super crummy bag. CS fixed it after I sent a snarky email. At this point I'm certain when my fifth item on Birchbox finally loads it will be Gilchrest and Somes nose hair gel or Harvey Prince Crazy Cat Lady perfume.

I am so sorry about your bad luck, but literally laughed out loud at this!

I'm receiving not one, but two products I've received before in my April box.I'm guessing BB won't consider them repeats if I get them in different shades/scents? Let me tell you how excited I am about that. -_- /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Me too. 

I'm annoyed by it because 1. I'm at my one-year mark with BB and only have this one box, so its frustrating to already be receiving duplicates and 2. there are so many BB items that have made their way around boxes (ie: Cynthia Rowley lippie, BP hair oil, Sumita eyeliner, etc) that I haven't yet received, so why not send me one of those items instead of TWO repeats?

And honestly, I don't care much for the Whish shave cream so even if it is a different scent, its really not going to change my mind about the product.  I liked my laqa minotaur lippie so I'm open to seeing what color they send this time, but I'm worried it'll be awful.

Warning: sleep deprived mini rant about to commence

So I just checked my box using that wacky cheat I never used before.  (used to rely on the box pages since I do not have an iPhone for another cheat I've seen floating around) So very MEH over the box, aside from the Atelier Cologne Vanille Inensee.....really?  BEAVER shampoo and conditioner?  I am so praying this is a page filler or something.  I mean, somehow  I doubt Birchbox, who prides itself on the quality of the brands sold and gravitates towards high end products, would sell something called BEAVER.  That said, according to the cheat page, not only  is there a review already posted from three days ago, but both the shampoo and conditioner are sold out?  Yeah, this has to be a place holder.....I mean, I realize I have been up since 3:30 NY time to catch a 6:00 am flight back to Chicago and went right to the office and see two laptops in front of me because I am so tired, but that kinda sorta makes sense right?

(will spare you all the rant I had prepared on the Pop eye shadow, which was induced by receiving a Coastal Scents reveal palette as a mystery sample pack with a recent order)

I saw those reviews. I don't understand how they could have already gotten their boxes.

Looking at the April box link, l'll be getting:

Harvey Prince Yogini Perfume (ughhh)

Jouer Tint (my PSY)

LAQA Lip Lube (hope the color I get isn't too sheer to be visible, I've been wanting to try this forever!)

Beaver Shampoo

Beaver Conditioner

Anyone else bummed that now BB sticks to 5-item boxes that shampoo and conditioner don't count as one item? Since you'd generally use them together it sort of feels like it's a four-item box.

Also, I had picked the Rifle Bond tumbler and notebook set add on, AFTER it was listed as sold out, just to see if it would still go through. My card was charged on the 3rd, so it looks like I'll be getting it! No shipping information available for me yet though.

Really hoping my box changes /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

According to the cheat I am getting: Number 4 Shampoo(Repeat), Wish Shaving Cream(repeat for the 3rd time), Pop Beauty EyeShadow (PYS), Beauty Protector Protect and Oil(repeat), and Real Chemistry 3 minute Peel.

I am not okay with 3 repeats! I understand that every now and then this is bound to happen, especially since I have been with BB for almost 2 years, but 3 in one BOX! Plus I received the Wish product last month!

 

[linda37027]

My box is not updating even with the cheat. It hasn't shipped yet either. Those of you with repeat items, it may not be correct. The month mine was showing repeat items, with the cheat, it totally changed on the 10th. If you do receive repeats in your box, you can call and complain.

 

[somedaysunday]

My shipping info *just* updated and now has an ETA of the 14th - 15th.  Why do some people's boxes ship before/after other people's? Do ya'll think the shipping is just random or is there a pattern?  I'm in NC and got the MM NY box.

 

[LadyGordon]

I have a clicky truck. My box is in Mt Juliet, just down the street about 10 miles. However I know it will have to go to New Jersey and then Indiana and then Atlanta before it comes to me, which is the route the last two boxes took. I don't care, just think its a funny way to get a package to someone in the same town LOL.

Oh well, excited to try some of the new products, although I'm not overly thrilled with some of them. I could do without the Whish shaving cream, I don't use shaving cream, but I know I won't always like everything in my box. This box is better than my last one at least.  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[misskelliemarie]

I checked instagram and people have started getting their birchboxes today!

 

[Aab09540]

I got shipping info on the 4th but it hasn't changed. Hoping to get it soon!

 

[Noel Snow]

For the first person to receive Beaver shampoo/conditioner, can you please let us know if it is as bad as the name suggests? 

 

[Trixie Belden]

My box finally loaded with the cheat.  It's ok, but I really don't like the Whish shaving cream, so that's a disappointment and apparently BB thinks my hair needs help because I get some sort of leave in intense conditioner every month.  My profile states I have fine, straight, short hair.   ^_^ /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />   I have a non clicky truck as well.  Weird, my boxes are hardly ever shipped this late.

Whish shaving cream

POP portfolio eye shadow

Real Chemistry 3 minute peel

Obliphica Intense Hair Serum

Jane Iredale lip and cheek stain (PYS)

Sorry about your CS woes and bags/boxes of sads, but "Gilchrest and Somes nose hair gel or Harvey Prince Crazy Cat Lady perfume" wins the internet today.
And I say that as a devoted cat lady...as THE Definitive Crazy Cat Lady of Bow and Drape's Instagram, in fact!! = ^_^ /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />=

 

[mrscollinsbaby7]

Hi ladies! =] Does anyone have a box link that is working? I tried using the link from earlier in the thread but keep getting the 404 error. Any help would be very much appreciated! TIA lovely ladies =]

 

[fancyfarmer]

Ummmm, so my cheat box just loaded, and I reserved the Jane Iredale as my PYS, and I worked with a CS rep to reserve it, I have all the emails, and it's not listed. It better be wrong, but I guess I have to wait until the 10th. Has anyone else not gotten the sample they wanted? They did put in Whish shave cream though, which was in my March box. I just resigned up after taking a break since September, the reason I quit was because it seemed like more months than not there was a problem, and even though they always gave me points, it wasn't worth the aggravation. Maybe my account is cursed.

 

[fancyfarmer]

Well, I just spoke to CS, and my peek must be right, because I was not going to get my PYS, and I am getting the Whish. Funny thing is my March box just came, and there was no Whish in it even though I was suppose to get it.

 

[pearldrop]

My cheat shows the following contents:

BOX#1:
Whish shaving cream (Super-MEH)

POP portfolio eye shadow (MEH)

Real Chemistry 3 minute peel

Obliphica Intense Hair Serum

Jane Iredale lip and cheek stain (PYS)

BOX#2:
Whish Three Whishes Body Butter

POP portfolio eye shadow (MEH)

Vasanti BrightenUp! Enzymatic Face Rejuvenator

Supergoop!® Daily Correct CC Cream ​SPF 35+ (MEH)

Harvey Prince Hello Liquid Loofah (MEH)

I get 50% meh-ness this month if the boxes do not change. After reading all of the comments, I am just happy to not receive a shampoo or conditioner for one month as a change.
I think they are trying to finish up all the leftover Whish shave creams this month <_<

 

[MissJexie]

If anyone was thinking of grabbing a Birchbox Man subscription, you can use the code "LISTENUP" to get a pair of fancy headphones with a monthly subscription! I already canceled/resubbed this month with a coupon code, but it's still a great deal! ^_^ /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[KaitlinKolors]

I got my box today. I live about 30 mins from Mt. Juliet so I guess that's why mine come so quick. If anyone wants to know what I got in my box, let me know and I'll post a spoiler picture /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
