Birchbox April 2016 Sample Choice Spoilers + Coupon!

Has anybody been able to do their sample choice? I’m an Ace and just tried to log in and choose but there’s just the video up there. I can’t seem to do a Sample Choice at all. Did I miss it? I thought it was on the 23rd.

Ugh. BB has been such a disappointment lately! 🙁

Kinda weird that one month’s curated box includes an item that was in boxes two months ago (the Parlor spray was in Feb’s boxes). I feel like the curated boxes should be new exciting things or some kind of theme.

Not disappointed in any of the products (choice or curated), but none of them are overly exciting for me.

Yikes. None of the above? This may make me cut the cord. I also love the boxes themselves though!

One request Liz: I can’t stomach watching the whole video. Any way you could post the 2 dates? The ACE date and the non-Ace date for choosing???

I have a “new subscriber” question”:) When does the sample selection become available for non-ACE subscribers? When I log in I see just add-ons, not sample selection…

I’m going to resubscribe for this box! However when I go to resub it still says “Sign up and get the March box” (which I don’t really want). Does anyone know when I can resub and get to still chose an April sample?

I think I will pick the hair mask. I love them and that is a great brand. I haven’t really picked anything for a few months and those boxes turned out well for the most part, but this sample looks good.

While I’m not big on any of the sample choices, I’m glad there’s variety in them. I feel like, for the past few months, they’ve all been in the same vein. For example, choose a lipstick vs. an eye shadow vs. a lip tint. Or choose a hair product vs. a different hair product vs. dry shampoo. At least this time we are offered three different products.

I have that exact hand cream in my desk right now. It smells lovely, but the greasiness is a little long-lasting (I expect a little greasiness with quality hand creams). I prefer Crabtree & Evelyn ultra moisturising hand therapy, and I wish Davines Anti-Aging Hand Creme would come back in stock! However, I’m not averse to getting an above-average cream, so getting a product I already have is cool with me.

I’m interested in the Dr. Jart, but I *love* Marcelle products! I use their eye makeup remover (I love the pre-soaked pads but also love the stuff in the bottle) and their daily facial cleanser. It’s all so gentle yet effective. I have been looking for a product like this 3-in-1, so I’m going to get the curated box for my Ace sub. The question is whether I want to skip sample choice on my other sub and hope for better stuff.

The Au Naturale Cosmetics Lively Trio Set looks adorable and practical. This is something I could pop in my bag for touch ups. I just hope it isn’t so tiny I will not be able to find it once it is in there.

I really like the boxes. I love Tocca products, so that makes me want the curated, but the other products I don’t care for much. I really like the other box, but the sample picks aren’t great. Of all of them, maybe the makeup removing wipes bc although that is super boring, I know I’ll use them at the very worst while traveling.

Not impressed by this month’s sample choice, but it’s not as awful as last month’s, at least.

I wanted to post this for anyone considering the RMS makeup wipes, the only ingredient is coconut oil, which is what I love and use everyday to remove my eye makeup, but these wipes seem like such a rip off for a little packet. You can get big tub of organic coconut oil for around $10.

You made me resubscribe to Birchbox…
And now I am trying to figure out how to get both boxes because the curated box is always gone by the time I get the choice to pick. (I’m not a VIP). I can hope they put it up for sale but it annoys me that they do that when not all subscribers have had the option to choose it and I don’t know if I can support it.

I an seriously in this just for the boxes. I have been underwhelmed with Birchboxes samples which is why I cancelled previously… Both times…argh…

April spoilers when I still haven’t gotten my March box. ?

I love Rifle Paper Co.! You are all lucky, too bad thay put Canadian operations on hold, I would’ve loved this box =(

The only item I want is the baked blush, but I’ve already received a Laura Geller baked blush & Im wondering if it’s the same shade.
I prefer the look of the non-curated box, so I think I’ll just let Birchbox curate a box for me.

I’ll probably go with the Briogeo hair mask; love that brand. And I like the bracelet in the add-ons, too. Perhaps the charger also. If they offer the curated box for sale like they have in the past I might pick it up.

For the second month in a row I think I am going to go with the curated box. The pink box is a lot cuter and most of the products are things I would use, like the blush, and hand cream, and especially the micellar solution which will be nice to have in a travel size. (LOVE anything micellar!!!) I just wish they would stop with all the Parlor samples, I am not a fan of their products so far.

guess i’ll be picking the briogeo conditioner mask.. and cancelling my other account cause other than the points there is nothing i have wanted on the other one sooo yay more money for another box!!!! think i’m going with allure been loving their samples that i have been seeing!!!

I think I’m going for the au natural trio. Some of the things look good in the curated box – like the marcelle, the Dr jart and the blush – but another Parlor hair item that just won’t use….yuck.

I’ve been wanting that Laura Geller blush for a while so I might pick the curated but if I don’t I can always use a hair mask so I would pick the Briogeo. I’m glad they’re focusing on more natural products.

yay!!!!! I love Rifle paper co! (doesn’t everyone?) I prefer a surprise each month, so I’ll be picking a sample choice, but that curated almost got me this month, it’s a good one!

I was super disappointed with my Cargo eye shadow colors from the March box (I haven’t opened the sample, just googled the colors), but otherwise loved my March box. Looks like I’ll be getting the curated April box though!

I am between the curated box and deep conditioning mask as it looks like a decent size. I received Laura Geller blush back in May 2015 and I have been using it constantly like 3-4 times a week since and it still hasn’t hit the bottom of the pan yet! This one is a little different, more shimmery, so maybe it is not as highly pigmented. I love Micellar water and Tocca anything.

After a 5 month break, the curated box got me good. Birchbox, I’m back! I might even add a 2nd box with my back-up account after the 1st, since the March box isn’t too appealing & I definitely don’t want 2 of them. I even added the fat eyeko liner, I won’t use it (if i’m using eyeliner, it’s going to be bright or metallic or both, & always a pencil) but I bet it’d be great for my mom & her painful arthritic hands.
