Birchbox June 2014 - Spoilers!

[kawaiiwoofs]

Afternoon, ladies! I have been following this thread since late May and I have two questions. What are the 'clicky trucks'? Also, I am having trouble despite reading through threads and blogs, finding a way to calculate what may be in this month's box. This will only be my second box with BB. Any suggestions or tips for a BB noob?? /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

We have a FAQ at the beginning of each BB spoiler thread that answers a lot of questions and is a great place to start!!

Afternoon, ladies!  I have been following this thread since late May and I have two questions.  What are the 'clicky trucks'?  Also, I am having trouble despite reading through threads and blogs, finding a way to calculate what may be in this month's box.  This will only be my second box with BB.  Any suggestions or tips for a BB noob?? /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

From the MUT Birchbox FAQ (https://www.makeuptalk.com/f/topic/131763-birchbox-faqs-read-here-before-asking/):

Q:  What is a clicky truck?A:  A clicky truck means that your box has shipped and the shipping information is on the Birchbox website.  If you log into the site and go to Account Settings, you'll see a little truck that has the current month listed.  Once the new month starts, the truck will update to that month, but without tracking information.  Then, once your box ships, a tracking link will show up UNDERNEATH the truck (the truck itself is not actually clickable, the link beneath it is).

As far as figuring out what's in your box, if it's only your second box, the only surefire way is to wait until the 10th because that's not really enough of a box history to be able to discount many boxes.  I've been a subscriber for just over three years, and I'm *still* surprised every month even when I think I know exactly what they're sending.  (Exception:  They *love* to send me lip products, so I usually receive a lipstick/gloss/balm if they're sending that out, but that's more of a just-what-they-do-for-my-profile thing than anything else.)

Thank you SO MUCH, gals!  I didn't even notice the FAQ until mentioned (there is so much going on with this site).  I appreciate all of the responses!!

My box was delivered today!  it had:

Coola Natural BB Cream

folle de joie

Vasanti Brighten Up

Gilchrist & Soames body lotion

Number 4 Hydrating Shampoo and conditioner

I know some were really disappointed with this box but I don't mind it.  I love skin care so it's not too bad for me.  The only think I don't want is the Coola (seriously so tired of received products from this brand).  I love the Vasanti so I'm really happy to receive that.  I'll use the Gilchrist & Soames and it smells really nice.  I'm going on a short vacation next week so I'll take it with me along with the number four.  I also really like the folle de joie so I'm happy to receive that.  I would have liked to receive a Laqa since I didn't get to try last month either but maybe next month /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

This ended up being a truly spoiler-free month for me. I never received a shipping email, so imagine my surprise when my Birchbox was waiting for me as I headed out for work! I hope others are as lucky.

I received:

Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish 1 oz kit

Egyptian Magic 0.25 oz

Antica Farmacista shower gel

Cynthia Rowley Creamy Lip Stain in Sugar

Miss Jessie's Multicultural Curls

Oddly, the box itself was very heavy.  The Cleanse & Polish kit comes in a pretty, blue cardboard box, and both the shower gel and Egyptian Magic are plastic containers, so I guess the three combined made it feel like there was one really heavy item inside.  This was just an all-around unusual box! (In a good way!)

Edited to add: Sorry, I don't know how to hide the box contents with the spoilers thingy yet. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I just got this box too! I really loved it.

I love the Liz Earle muslin clothes, and my travel sized one is getting kinda used. (I bought the ful size set, but I like the size of the sample one so much better). I don't care for the face wash itself, so maybe I'll trade it or give it away.

I'm excited to try the Egyptian Magic, it's a nicely packaged sample (a little jar) and I've head really good things about it.

I usually HATE to get shower gel in subscriptions because I don't really use it, but this one smells so fantastic! I'm so glad I got it.

The Cynthia Rowley stain is something I really wanted to try so I'm happy I got this.

And The Multicurtual Curls .... Very weird. I'm not sure why I received this. It's for multi-cultural, multi-textured hair ... definitely doesn't describe my hair.

Overall, a great box!

My box has moved and says it will be delivered on Monday!! Woot!!! 

 

[Saffyra]

Just got a shipping notice!  Hooray!

 

[SOSRedAlertSOS]

I really hope that I get the multicultural curls product in my box, my daughter is mixed (black, mexican, italian, german and czech) so her curls suck products right up!

 

[Autym Henderson]

My box just became clicky!! I feel like I was the last one this month...

Just got this exact box!! I am excited to try everything. Not the most WOOHOO SQUEAL box (was seriously hoping for the Egyptian Magic, maybe it will come with account #2) but not terrible.

Definitely not the last one... Mine still isn't clicky. BB makes it a habit to not give me a clicky truck until late at night the 10th/early morning the 11th. Every. Single. Month.

 

[SOSRedAlertSOS]

I have had a clicky truck for days but the shipping hasn't updated and it's been sitting in Mt. Juliet since the 3rd. Oh well, at least I got the mermaid box relatively fast.

 

[Jen51]

I got this box in the mail today too.  Not the most exciting box, but it will all get used.  I have two other boxes on another sub (the may box that was sent really late and the June box that was sent really early) that I hope will make it to me.  I must have been excited when I set up the account because I used the zip code from my address that I haven't lived at in over a year instead of the current one.  It has made 6 trips between the sorting facility and the town the zip code is for.  Hopefully since they are close and both smallish towns someone will eventually look at it and send it to the right town.  I really wanted the stuff that was sent in the May box though lol.

 

[AshJs3]

Coola Natural BB Cream folle de joie Vasanti Brighten Up Gilchrist & Soames body lotion Number 4 Hydrating Shampoo and conditioner

Got this one for one of my boxes too! I'm happy for another Vasanti. It's great, but it's kinda hard to squeeze out of the full size bottle.

 

[rachelshine]

Slightly annoyed that even though I got my box, my box page hasn't updated and I can't review. Let me review so I can spend my poiiiints

This made me laugh because I know the struggle. Just fork over the points already BB and no one gets hurt!

 

[MelissaJohnson]

My BirchBox just arrived today. I totally wasn't even expecting it since my tracking hadn't updated in a couple days.

I'm happy it arrived early this month since mine came super late last month.

I'm pretty content with my items! It's not an all-time favorite box but its has a couple hits. And I think the JetBlue travel promo/quiz as an airline ticket is cute.  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

It's like Birchbox knew I was mad at them for last month so to make up for it they sent me a great box and sent it early.  I got box 49 which has:

-Cynthia Rowley Silver Eyeliner

-Dr. Hauschka Lemon Body Wash

-Laqa Purple Lip Lube

-Nyakio face polish, body scrub, and face oil

-Perlier Almond Body Cream

Good balance, a lot of products I've been wanting to try, and 7 items to review!  Def one of the best boxes they've sent me.

 

[celiajuno]

Birchbox, why do you hate me. You never send me perfume anymore. I am a little disappointed with my bow this month. I got the purple Laqa, the silver CR eyeliner, that Nyakio foil trio, some Dr. Haushka lemongrass bodywash and Perlier body cream. The only thing I am going to use is the Perlier. Everything else is going on a trade list. On the bright side though I can get 70 points for reviews and there isn't any shampoo.

 

[biancardi]

I would love to get a Dr. Hauschka Lemon Body Wash in one of my boxes!
