The 10th of the month is one of my favorite days of the month because both Birchbox and ipsy are revealed! Here is what I am getting this month:

~Birchbox: If you want to know what you are getting, log into your account and click “Box” and then “Women’s Box”. You’ll be able to see the contents of your April 2014 Box right there! IF you want to know what number box you are getting, scroll down to “Box History” and then click “April 2014”. In the URL bar you will “april-2014-bb” and then a number following the “bb”. That is the number box you received this month! If you want to see all the variations this month, click here and change the number at the end to anywhere between 2 and 48 since it looks like there were 48 variations this month. My April Birchbox is box #41 which contains the following:

April Birchbox #41
April Birchbox #41

I ‘ll do a recap when it arrives, but so far I am LOVING it! If you don’t yet subscribe to Birchbox, now is the time! Click here and use the code “BB100” when you subscribe to get 100 Birchbox points, which is $10 to spend in the Birchbox shop. Boxes are $10/month, so pretty much that’s a free box right there. Plus every month you get to review the products in your box for shop points. 10 points per product means than every time you review an item you’ve received in a box, you get $1 to spend!

~ipsy: If you are wondering what’s coming in your April 2014 ipsy My Glam bag, head to your account and click “My Glam Room” in the top right of the homepage (once you login). It will show you your April 2014 bag and in the drop down menu you can see all your previous months. If you want to see all the items ipsy sent out this month, you’ll see a link at the bottom of your Glam Room which will expand page to show them all to you. Here is what I am getting in my April 2014 ipsy:

    I am still only showing March for Birchbox. I will have to check back later and see if it updated. 🙁

    1. Jennifer

      Ahh, I hate when that happens!! Mine updated the next day when it did that.

  2. Monica

    We have twin bags on ipsy… I’m shocked that I’m not getting lashes… again!!! But so delightfully happy about that… not a fan of the bag but I’m sure some teen at the woman’s shelter will love it full of stuff at Christmas time…

    🙂

    1. Jennifer

      I am shocked I didn’t get the lashes. I would have liked the Rainbow Honey and / or the Benefit, but I am not complaining about my bag!

  3. Heather B

    I’m still on the Ipsy Wait list.I’ve been debating if I should sign up for Birch box and Glossy box just can’t decide yet

    1. Jennifer

      Are you deciding between the 3?

      1. Heather B

        I subscribed to Ipsy and debating if I want to get birchbox and glossybox

        1. Jennifer

          Ohh, okay! Give them a god for a few months and see what you think!

    2. Missy

      Please subscribe using my link http://www.ipsy.com/r/8nsx like ipsy on Facebook and the 3 youtubers they tell you to. Doing this should take you off the list .

  4. Blair

    I actually got my box yesterday before the preview! That has only happened once before and it make me pretty happy. I got that snack bar too and the nail polish, some eyeliner, hair de-tangler and super goop CC cream

    1. Jennifer

      Ohhh, that’s amazing! I want to get my box before the boxes update. Then I would have to go spoiler free!

    2. Judy

      I got the same box and got it yesterday as well! I never got my box before spoilers before! I’m not a fan of the nail polish and I already tried the pencil and supergoop cc cream before, but at least I got a different color in the pencil this time. I would have preferred the Daivines shampoo/conditioner, coffee scrub or body, but I will use most of it. I really didn’t need any more eyeliner though and I’m getting it in Ipsy and Popsugar too! AH! I’m going to have eyeliners coming out of my ears! lol

  5. Hannah

    I’m getting box #15 for Birchbox. Atelier Orange Sanguine Perfume, Sumita Eyeliner, BeeKind Body Lotion, Color Club Gala’s Gems Nail Polish, & the KIND bar. I’m so excited about the lotion & nail polish, & the other 3 are still wins for me. My best friend is getting her 1st Ipsy Glam Bag this month so I’m going to see if I like hers & probably sign up for that too 🙂

    1. Jennifer

      Not a bad one at all! That perfume sounds great!

  6. Brianna

    I got box 38, I was hoping for the Balm blush but…. 8 items! And it looks like I can review them all for points.

    1. Jennifer

      8 items! That is crazy! IN a good way.

    2. Michele

      The blush is only one color, not all of them…

  7. MJ

    I got box 29 and I definitely got a winner. Number 4? Lumiere d’hiver Reconstructing Masque, Number 4? Clarifying Shampoo – 8.5 oz (I would have preferred the shampoo and conditioner, instead of the masque and conditioner or just the masque and a different item), Supergoop! City Sunscreen Serum (I have very fair skin so this will come in hand), Sumita Color Contrast Eyeliner (I wonder what color I will get, a lot of different options!), Color Club Gala’s Gems Collection (because I need more nail polish, lol), KIND Healthy Grain Bars (ehh). I’m definitely excited for this box!!

    1. Jennifer

      Any box with nail polish is a good box in my eyes!

  8. alyssa

    I’m excited I’m getting the benefit in my bag but disappointed I’m getting lashes again. I don’t need them my lashes already brush my glasses on their own lol

    1. Jennifer

      So many lashes from tipsy!!!!

  9. Carolyn S.

    I have the exact same Ipsy box as you do, but getting birchbox #15. It looks like both will be great this month! It will be interesting if my birchbox eyeliner is indeed lime green….but it is definitely worth trying for $10 for all of the products combined! 🙂

    1. Jennifer

      Totally worth it!!!!

  10. Lisa D

    I am glad I am not getting lashes- I like what I see so far though.

    1. Jennifer

      I am always glad not to get the lashes.

  11. OH MY LORD I GOT THE BESTEST BIRCHBOX EVER.

    Number 4? Lumiere d’hiver Reconstructing Masque
    Number 4? Clarifying Shampoo –
    Color Club Gala’s Gems Collection
    theBalm? cosmetics How ?Bout Them Apples??
    KIND Healthy Grain Bars
    Nazelie Moisturizing Night Cream

    I don’t know why I am getting more products, probably the #4 stuff is packets? I am wicked jealous of your demeter.

    1. Jennifer

      Ahhh, that’s a great one! Some people mentioned they got 8 items. I would be so excited!

      1. i think i would have been happy with any box that had the balm in it. 8 is nuts. btw, you wouldn’t believe what i found at costco today! i posted it on my fb and it blew up my feed!

  12. Erin

    I just signed up for Ipsy. I don’t know what happened with my profile but iI am getting the Sexy Hair Volumizer instead of the Demeter Jasmine roll on which would have been my favorite item. I am so disappointed.

    1. Jennifer

      Oh my profile is all over the place. Sometimes someone else’s bag would be perfect for me and I get a bag that just doesn’t fit me at all. It’s kind of the luck of the draw~

  13. Alison

    I got box #33 for birchbox which has brow gel in it. Never tried it!

    1. Jennifer

      Fun!!!

  14. Shawna

    I am happy with both my BB and ipsy! I wish I had gotten the demeter, but I have TONS of demeter and am happy with just the code. Maybe.

    I wanted The Balm product in my BB last month, and now I am jealous of it again this month! Hopefully I will end up with one eventually.

    I have lash extensions (LOVE), so I won’t need my fake lashes, but I am saving all my fake ones up to mail in a package (with other goodies) to a friend who uses them.

    1. Jennifer

      Hopefully you do!!! I never get too sad because I always seen to eventually get them.

  15. Diana Garza

    Ooohhhh you hit the jackpot with both your Ipsy & BB!! Mine are both mediocre this month – I’m really tempted to sign up for an additional Ipsy bag to get more of a selection.

    1. Jennifer

      Can you do that? With my luck id get the same.

  16. Laura

    I am getting the exact same BB as you and I’m loving it all.

    1. Jennifer

      Loving it!!!! A great month!

  17. Mel

    Ha, bag twins. This month is a pretty good month for ipsy

    1. Jennifer

      Agreed!

  18. Lana

    I’m getting ALMOST the same Ipsy as you – except I got St. Tropez face tan instead of the roll on perfume, which works great for me!

    My BB is box 29, and it’s the first time I got 6 items :O which is exciting! I’m more happy with my Ipsy than BB, but both seem awesome!

    1. Jennifer

      Yay! 6 items is awesome!

  19. Natalie

    I’m loving my Ipsy so far! Only thing I wish I would have recieved is the Cailyn (:

    1. Jennifer

      They included this a few months ago and I didn’t get it that month, so maybe they will have it again and you will get it?

      1. Natalie

        I hope so! That stuff lasts forever (:

  20. Elizabeth

    I forgot to update my credit card for my annual BB subscription. I just updated it today. I hope I get one for April!

    1. Jennifer

      I think you will! I think as long as you sign up by mid-month you will.

  21. Jen

    I got three of the same things – but instead of lip balm and perfume, I am getting the makeup brush and lip pencil. totally awesome IPSY month!!!

    1. Jennifer

      Great month for sure!

  22. Rebecca

    You and I are getting the exact same IPSY bag. Super excited for the Cailyn lip gloss and Elizabeth Mott eyeshadow.

    1. Jennifer

      bag twins!

  23. Rebecca

    Oh and yes you can sign up for more than one IPSY bag! I have two of them shipping to the same place and both bags are usually about 70% different. I’ll get the same one or two items but the rest are different. It is fabulous! Use your link as a referral and get the points.

    1. Jennifer

      I had no idea!

  24. I was really excited since this is my first ipsy bag but I feel like the customization was not really useful. I ended up with lashes, a face primer, urban decay pencil, highlighter mousse, and the lip balm. I was really hoping for the polish since I put that as the only thing I really wanted :/ Hopefully better luck next time!

    1. Jennifer

      My ipsy is hit or miss. Sometimes it’s amazing and sometimes it’s not even close. Hopefully next month is better for you.

  25. Nicole

    Lucky! I wish I got that Cailyn! I got the hideous blue polish that seems completely out of season and random 🙁 Other than that, I wasn’t too bummed, but that Cailyn!

    1. Jennifer

      I remember it came in ipsy months and months ago and I didn’t get it and I was sad. So glad it’s back!

  26. Elizabeth

    I’ve got BB38 which actually is including 8 products! I am super excited to get it!
    I got the same ipsy as you, but unfortunately I’m not very excited about it. I think I am going to cancel my ipsy after I use my racked up points. Birchbox just won me back!

    1. Jennifer

      LOVE it! That’s amazing!! That’s a dream BB right there.

  27. Erin

    I am getting box 42. I was hoping to get the nail polish but nope.

    1. Jennifer

      If there is a nail polish its like I MUSR have it in my box or I get said. Makes no sense. LOL!

  28. kay

    I’m getting box 8-has the nailpolish, kind bars, and how ’bout them apples that you’re getting plus a body wash and moisturizer. Totally excited for new nail polish and the how ’bout them apples!!

    1. Jennifer

      That sound like a great one too!

  29. Erica

    Still waiting on my BB but I’m happy about my Ipsy (nearly the same as yours, but a shadow brush instead of the Demeter perfume, which I would love!) I wish Ipsy redid their website–I dread logging on but I can’t help it, I have to see what I am getting!

    1. Jennifer

      Their website always drags for me. I do a lot of refreshing.

  30. Jen

    I was glad not to get the Lollitint as I just purchased the Benefit Cosmetics
    Goodtime Gals from Sephora for $15 that had little samples of Posietint, That Gal, and Girl Meets Pearl. LOVE IT!

    1. Jennifer

      That worked out great then! I need to get that kit!

  31. Cheryl

    I’m getting the same Ipsy as you. Jasmine is one of my favorite scents so I’m really excited for the rollerball! My Birchbox hasn’t updated yet, so I’ll be stalking my account until it does lol.

    1. Jennifer

      I hope it updates tomorrow!

  32. Ruth Gilbert

    Super excited to get the Dr. Brandt product! I got the Birchbox Dr. Brandt bag a few months ago and I am excited to get more! I usually let my daughter have the Birchbox, and I get the Ipsy and this month they will be perfect for the both of us.

    1. Jennifer

      I love Dr. Brandt stuff!!!

  33. Rebecca F.

    I’m getting Birchbox box #32. It’s fine, but I was hoping for the blush. Still, it has seven things in it, so I get to get points for reviewing seven items. I hope my eyeliner is in a color other than black.

    1. Jennifer

      7 things is amazing!!!

  34. Kate

    I don’t know why but that BB100 code gave me 200 points!!! I hope that’s not a mistake… lol

    1. Jennifer

      Did you buy a year?

      1. Kate

        I didn’t! I just double-checked. I did month to month!

        1. Jennifer

          That’s awesome!

    2. Kristy

      That just happened to me too!!

  35. Lynette

    My Ipsy bag is the same as yours; I am excited, as this is my first bag. I have not signed up for Birchbox yet, but I’m considering it as well.

    1. Jennifer

      I love Birchbox!

  36. Marla

    Yay for spoilers! Yep, I looked at what I’ll be getting from ipsy. It’s my first ipsy box, so I’m glad it looks like a good one. They are sending me the lollitint, Cailyn lip balm, UD eye pencil, City Color eyeshadow and the eyelashes. The Demeter roll on would have been fantastic though!

    1. Jennifer

      That’s a good bag! The Benefit and the lip balm would do it for me!

  37. Jill

    Ok I broke down and ordered all 3…ipsy, birchbox, and glossybox today. I really hope to get great stuff!

    1. Jennifer

      Fingers crossed!

  38. Kristie

    I’m getting Birchbox #7, which I’m very happy with. It’s almost identical to yours, except instead of the Shea Terra Organics black soap cleanser (which I totally love, I received a sample in a previous bb and now buy it all the time). I’m getting the Cynthia Rowley eye pencil! I don’t usually wear eye liner, but I’ve heard great things about this one, so it may just be the thing to make me convert.

    Kristie
    Can’t Stop Subscribing

    1. Jennifer

      I can’t wait to try that black soap cleanser than! I keep hearing so many good things!

  39. Bonnie

    I’m still waiting on BB, but it looks like several of us are getting the same bag from ipsy. I was hoping for the “snow” perfume this past winter and am disappointed I’m getting the jasmine. I’m afraid it will set off my allergies. My daughter thought it sounded good so I told her if it was in my bag she could have it. Lucky girl.

    I have the shea terra cleanser and love it, so hopefully you will too. I am hoping for the blush and if I get nail polish I hope it is the art pens.

    1. Jennifer

      What are the art pens?

      1. Bonnie

        on the last page of the shop the april box list has color club nail art pens. You can use them to make fun designs.

        Another day and BB still has me waiting. I wonder if it is because I ordered the upgrade water bottle this month.

        At least the Free for All box came today with my ipsy.

  40. Josie

    I am so excited for my Ipsy April 2014 bag to arrive! I will be receiving the Benefit Lollitint lip stain, Cailyn balm, Urban Decay eyeliner, City Color gold mousse shadow, and KISS eyelashes. All for $10 with free shipping and a free makeup bag. Ipsy is like receiving a gift in the mail every month, love it! You can become a part of the Ipsy community here: http://www.ipsy.com/r/73vu

  41. Mettie

    Looks like a great month in both boxes for you 🙂
    Do you (or anyone else who reads theses comments 🙂 know for how long you usually have to be on the waiting list for Ipsy? I signed up a couple of weeks ago (got you some points by the way 🙂 ….but I still haven’t gotten off the waiting list. Unfortunately I’m not on FaceBook (!!!!!…..yes! I know LOL), so I can’t do the whole “skip-the-waiting-list” thing. I’m hoping that I don’t have to wait for several months 🙁

    1. Jennifer

      I don’t know what it is these days?? Hopefully someone can answer??

  42. Ally

    WOW! I totally scored with the Ipsy bag this month too. I wasn’t incredibly in love with last month, but this is looking to be one of my favorite months thus far. Yayyy! I live and swear by Urban Decay’s eyeliner and love them in the trial size versions (take up less room in the purse).

    With Birchbox, I got Box #9 and it looks like I am getting a yellow eyeliner (erm, really?). I’m dumbfounded on how that got chosen to go with green eyes, but c’est la vie. Rest of the box looks interesting.

    Great month for beauty boxes!

    1. Jennifer

      I totally agree. April is shaping up to be amazing!
