This Birchbox arrived in 13 days, from Tennessee to California. Birchbox just moved their warehouse to Tennessee from New Jersey I believe, and somehow it caused some shipping troubles this month. I think pretty much everyone's box was shipped out of Tennessee, back to New Jersey, then out to everyone. It took a lot longer for me to get my boxes this month because of this. Hopefully this gets resolved for next month.
I received box #40:
April's theme is "Rainy Days".
Info card of all the items I received.
The first look inside my box, this one was pretty full so that was nice.
Paula's Choice RESIST Anti-Aging Clear Skin Hydrator - ($8) I tried this and it seemed to make my red spots less red, but it did nothing to moisturize my face like it says. You will probably want to use a moisturizer with this.
Gilchrist & Soames Spa Therapy Body Wash - ($2.50) This smells nice. It will be going in my basket of other soap and body washes I have in backups. Will definitely be a nice travel size, but usually I just use what's in the hotel because I'm lazy and don't want to pack my own.
theBalm® cosmetics How ‘Bout Them Apples? - ($5) I already got one of these and I don't really need another, so I'll be swapping this. I do plan on buying the full size though, I like the formula. It doesn't seem to be too drying on my lips, which I know some other people complained about.
Color Club Gala's Gems in Aquamarine Azulino - ($3.25) I like this color, I'm glad I got a little variation, I got the green in my other boxes, one which I'm swapping for the gold, so I'll almost have the complete set.
KIND Healthy Grain Bars - ($0.75) I like Kind bars, and especially these Healthy Grain ones. I find these a touch too salty in some spots though. Like little pockets of too much salt. We usually keep a chocolate and a peanut butter flavor in the house.
Overall my second Birchbox had a value of $19.50 plus I also get $5 back in points for reviewing my items! Not my favorite but not the worst box I've received. I do like the nail polishes they sent out this month, and I don't really think there was one item this month that I had to have that I didn't get. I do wish there was more variety for the Kind Bars, usually I want to eat the snacks I get in boxes right away, but these kind of sat around for a while before I grabbed them.
