Birchbox June 2014 - Spoilers!

[magictodo]

My box is awful (and really popular, seems like a lot of you are getting this):

More perfume. More Coola. I just want to tell Birchbox I'm not going to buy anything from them when these are the samples they keep sending. This isn't what I'm looking for. My boxes have been a big miss the past few months after being spot on the first six months of my Birchbox subscription.

I'm getting box 26 and I'm pretty happy with it.  Hooray 7 item box!

Number 4™ Super Comb Prep & Protect
Egyptian Magic Skin Cream 
Cynthia Rowley Beauty Creamy Lip Stain
nyakio™ Kenyan Coffee Face Polish
nyakio™ Kenyan Coffee Body Scrub
nyakio™ Hydrating Face Oil With Kola Nut
Coastal Scents® Revealed 2 Palette Set

 
I was hoping for the Lip Stain and the egyptian magic.  I mostly want to try the egyptian magic on my stepson's more rageful spots of eczema to see how well it works.  And I *love* lip stain so a creamy lip stain is right up my alley.  And eye shadow.  Duh.  I just ran out of the marula oil i'd gotten from ipsy so maybe i can squeeze the nyakio face oil into that little squirt bottle.  Body scrubs and face polishes always make me happy. (*ahem* send all your unwanted vasanti to meeeeeee  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />)  I like the No. 4 products I've tried so far and a protecting spray will definitely be used.  This is a pretty well balanced box between skin care, hair care, and makeup.

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.  

I'm in the same camp. I already have shampoo and conditioner that works for me, so I really hate to receive it in sub boxes, but I'm still looking for good hair treatment and styling products so love to receive those types of items! I wish that birchbox would have separate items on the quiz for shampoo/conditioner and hair styling/treatment products.

Ugh i definitely have one of these shittiest boxes thsi month:

Please note this is the 4/5th month that I've gotten hair products, and this is on a products on a profile I set to NO hair products. I mean 1-2 or even 3 I can maybe take but this is ridiculous.

So I get dumb feet wipes, sunscreen, and conditioner. I'm looking forward to the shampoo and just rolling my eyes sat the palette. I dont' love it but I know i'll se it in travel, but what the heck. This is such a poorly curated box

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

Davines all in one milk is a small foil /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> but it also comes with the shampoo and conditioner.. The shampoo is a big sample 2.5 oz n conditioner is a foil. I have posted a pic earlier in the thread. Hope this helps...

 

[Spazkatt]

Apparently I am getting box 1, there are only 4 items. One is a coola sunsceen that I got in a pick two & didn't like. Followed by  mascara, lemon grass body wash & a face cleanser. I really hope my box changes!

 

[disconik]

Got this 7 item box which I don't quite know how to feel about:

Vasanti - Yes, I've been wanting to try this

G&S Body Lotion - meh

Davines OI/All in One Milk - Hair needs this, ok cool

Coastal Scents Revealed 2 - Totally want this palette, but I was ok with not sampling it considering they didn't sample the pink/purple shades at all, and I plan on buying it anyways

Davines Curl Enhancing Shampoo/Conditioner - Cool, it can do absolutely nothing for my fine, completely straight couldn't hold a curl if it's life depended on it hair...

Catherine Malandrino Style de Paris Fragrance - blech, never have I ever remotely liked a fragrance Birchbox has sent me

I was being so good, but my alt accounts get better boxes, I may have to reopen my other two accounts.

The vasanti is amazing!  I've been using it the last couple of days and LOVE it.  Reminds me that I need to go take it off my trade list and put it on my wishlist.  

Main account:

Benefit They're Real Mascara

Perlier Body Cream

Overall not bad, but I'm sad that I never get body wash /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I also would have loved the LAQA in any color but purple and Vasanti! I love Vasanti XD but I'm really happy with the Suki and the benefit mascara /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

That main account box is pretty sweet!  A nice mix of everything.

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?

I was SUPER wary when it showed up in my box last month but it is SO fun.  It's got a really lovely moisturizing formula, but still gives you long color wear.  It's not as shockingly PURPLE on your lips as it is in the tube and it's very buildable.  One layer gives you a fun pop of color and you can increase it gradually.  I highly recommend it.  Don't fear the purple!  And I'm fair skin with pink undertones.  My mom who has a medium skin with a very light olive undertone looked great in it, too!

@@disconik That's the box I was hoping for!  I'm super jealous!

@@pooteeweet213 I just removed my check next to hair care products, I hope it helps.  I have such a backlog of shampoo & conditioner that I had to move it all into its own bin.  On the plus side, this one doesn't look like it has sulfates like the Fekkai did in April!

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

The Davines is a 0.13oz foil but mine came with a shampoo and conditioner that don't have the amounts listed but the shampoo is a fairly large bottle and the conditioner is a foil. The Egyptian magic is a 0.25 oz tub. About the size of a carmex lip thing.

 

[anbdobbs22]

Uhhhh, stop playing tricks BB. I woke up, looked at my box, and was decently happy. Suki, CR, No. 4, and some others. I just went back to look at the box picture and now its back to May?! If it comes back with different products, they better be ones I like more! I was stoked for Suki.

 

[Antidentite]

Has the new benefit liner been spotted in any boxes yet?  

 

[Ashitude]

Nevermind,.. I found it. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

That's annoying. In April my friend got the davines milk in a 50ml spray bottle, which is more than 1/3 of full size. 

 

[AshJs3]

4 item box on my second account, but at least it's 4 good items.

Benefit They're Real mascara

Laqa lip pencil

Aloe source vitamin C antioxidant creme

Antica Farmacista Bath and Shower wash

I'm looking forward to trying all of it!

Yeah I did the same a few months ago, because I figured it's more valuable to me to not receive shampoo and conditioner, than it would be to for me to get other hair products that I'm interested in. I will note though that since I changed my profile in January, I still received a decent amount of hair products, so good luck!

- Feb: Beauty Protector Oil

- Mar: Keims Shampoo

- April: None!

- May: Beauty Protector Shampoo and Conditioner

- June: Miss Jessie's Multicultural Curls

Yup, it's quite annoying. And the funny thing is, my box page shows only "all in one milk", which is the smallest foil pack of the 3 /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I know this is a small comfort, but those peppermint foot wipes are freaking AWESOME after a long hot day outside.  They're super refreshing.

 

[MissTrix]

Account 1 - box 23



Account 2 - box 47



Meh. That's all I've got.  <_<

 

[elizabethrose]

4 item box but I'm excited about all the items! Unfortunately it will put my account at 99 points hahahaha! Birchbox owes me a refund though and I think I should get one or two points for that.

Secretly I'm hoping that the 4 item boxes are ones with the push up liner! Excited for my They're Real dupe- I love having backups of this stuff.

 

[Elizabeth Basich]

How long have you guys had your boxes? It usually takes a couple of months for the profile changes to kick in. I blank profile on my second account and I don't get the same boxes.

For my box it is my 4th month, my moms is month 2 and my neices is month 1...we have one more box coming today and hoping for something different as we share lol.

When you say blank do you mean you don't put anything at all?
