Birchbox June 2014 - Spoilers!

[meaganola]

Box 23 on my main account:

Meh. I'm getting two of those. And one box 25:

I have a feeling I'll be doing a lot of swapping this month.

 

[cskeiser]

Box #12 for me as well....hoping there will be at least a fifth item....

 

[argill2013]

My three boxes are fantastic this month!  I think I am getting everything I want!  So excited!

Oh, am I the only silly girl who signed up for a $10 men's box?  They get cool stuff!  I am sort of hoping for a tech extra or socks or something!

I signed my  husband up for the men's box! I've heard mixed things so this was a great deal to try it out!  

Have you gotten shipping for it yet? I'm still waiting. 

 

[onelilspark]

Huh. So I'm getting box #28.  On the website, I see this: 



But on the app, it also shows these:



On another note, this now marks box 5 in a row that I've gotten shampoo and/or conditioner (or leave-in conditioner.)  I think it's time I change my profile.  I like getting hair products (I *love* the no frizz oil I got in last month's Ipsy and I'm enjoying the Sea Salt Spray from the Modern Mermaid box) but I'm sick of shampoo & conditioner.  Not to mention, I don't have curly hair - I have wavy marked down...so I don't know why I'm getting stuff for curly hair?

@@puppymomofthree - I didn't sign up myself, but I did persuade my husband to sign up!

Can anyone confirm or deny that the Laqa purple lip is any good? Everyone seems to want it so bad... I cant find any swatches online. Is it really that great?

 

[onelilspark]

@@meganbernadette - my coworker received it last month and loves it!

Nope, it said it would be shipping around the 16th.  I know they get some of the same things that we do, plus generally a lifestyle item.  It is worth a try at that price point and using gift cards to pay.

@@meganbernadette, I got it last month and I like it. It is fairly moisturizing and it is a fun, different color without being so outlandish you can't wear it to work (with one coat, it is pretty buildable if intense color is your thing). I was actually surprised at how flattering the color is on, it's a littleintimidating in the tube.

 

[OiiO]

Box 49 for me, and yay 7 products! https://www.birchbox.com/shop/birchbox-1/june-2014/june-2014-bb49

Excited to try everything, especially LAQA and Nyakio.

 

[queenofperil]

Okay. Got in touch with Birchbox and they updated my account. I'm getting box five.

Harvey Prince "Hello" Perfume - I think this smells nasty. Not trying to offend anyone, just reaaaally don't like it.

Mally Beauty Volumizing Mascara - Haven't tried anything from Mally yet. Pretty excited.

Egyptian Magic Skin Cream - Wanted to try this, so happy about getting it.

Cynthia Rowley Creamy Lip Stain - Already have a sample of it, so hopefully it's in a different color. 

Lierac Micellar Cleansing Water - I have wanted to try a micellar water forever. Totally happy to get this.

Overall I'm pretty happy. The first Birchbox I've gotten in months I'm actually looking forward to.

Box 29...not sure it could get any worse, really.

Uhg - been back with Birchbox for only 3 months and I am just not happy. WHY on earth do they feel the need to stuff my boxes with hair products!! I hate hair products (aside from dry shampoo) and am happy with my drugstore shampoo.

April - Number 4 shampoo and mask

May - Nexxus shampoo/conditioner sample

June - Number 4 shampoo and conditioner

Also getting the Vasanti, Coola, and Folle de Joie, which I have received numerous times from various sub boxes.

So bummed. I may cancel again. I seem to only stick with them for 3-4 months at a time then get frustrated and cancel. I know so many of you really love Birchbox....how can I increase my chances of getting better items?? OR - how can I make them stop sending me hair crap!?!?! I went into my profile and unselected anything that had to do with hair. I always rate the hair products low. HALP! <_<

I got that too and I have pin straight hair that won't curl no matter how hard I try so IDK.

I can totally relate on how you feel this month!

April- Fekkai color technician shampoo

May- Nexus shampoo/comditioner

June-Number 4

Very underwhelming for us this month. I am also contemplating canceling because if I review all 6 items it will leave me at 104 BB points and at least I will be able to get something out of the shop.

 

[katiecoll]

Getting box 31, the one that was only showed the curl shampoo/conditioner and Catherine Malandrino perfume on the app, not the browser page with the rest of the items.

Already emailed birchbox about it!

 

[kawaiiwoofs]

First box:

coola tinted matte spf (ugh. how much coola is there?! make it stop)

egyptian magic skin cream (i'm excited to try this!)

cynthia rowley lip stain (i'll definitely try it but i dont love CR cosmetics)

liz earle cleanse and polish (debating whether or not to keep this. ive gotten it before and swapped it - will it be ok for sensitive skin?)

Box 2:

they're real mascara (my favorite! i could always go for a spare)

perlier body cream

Davines Ol/ All in One Milk (too sensitive of a scalp. this is going up)

Caudalie Anti Wrinkle (i'll decide when i see it)

over all - i feel "meh" about it. box 2 is a bummer.

 

[button6004]

I emailed Birchbox because I have gotten BB cream in the 3 boxes I have received so far.  The response wasnt too helpful- basically, it was that they try to make the boxes fair to everyone and that something I see in someone else's box could be something I get next month.

I responded that if I get another BB cream next month, I'm canceling. A girl can only use so much BB cream.

 

[eliu8108]

Looks like I am getting box 42:

Coola tinted matte

Cynthia Rowley eyeliner

Perlier body cream

nyakio coffee face polish, coffee body scrub, and hydrating face oil

Antica Farmacista Bath and Shower Wash

Pretty happy with that, as long as the face+body stuff are not all foils..

 

[fiery]

The fifth item in box #12 is the Catherine Malandrino perfume.

Thanks for the info! Not a great box for me personally. Oh well.

 

[kawaiiwoofs]

Anyone know the size of the Davines All in One Milk or the Egyptian Magic?
