Birchbox June 2014 - Spoilers!

[ScoutSays]

OMG!!! I am about to hit my head against the wall... why do I even bother emailed BB ops??? I mean, don't talk to me like I'm stupid!! UGH!!! ok, back to your regular programming!

Main account, box 33:



I'm kind of sad it's a 4 item box, but the previous box on this account had 7 items, so maybe it's only fair.  The CR lipstain looks cool.

Second account: box 47



I'm pretty excited since I really wanted to try the Suki and the perlier sounds good. CS palette is probably going up for trade though since I don't really wear neutral shadows. I might change my main account profile to match this since I like these boxes more.

My first box was the Coola/No. 4/perfume/Vasanti box, that is a big "ugh" for me ... although it's 6 items to review.

But my second box is only 4 items, but 2 of them are good, 1 is OK and new, and the last is also OK, but I have about a lot of it:

-  Caudalie anti-wrinkle Defense serum -- I like most Caudalie products and just finished a serum, so this is good.

-  Antika Farmacista Shower & Body Wash -- I love shower gels and have never tried this brand, so this is also good.

-  Lifetherapy Hydrating Body Lotion -- I'm always up for a lotion sample, it's a new brand, so it's also OK

-  Benefit They're Real -- while this item is OK, I have lots of samples, and wouldn't buy it for myself, so "meh."

Not too exciting and the first box was disappointing (other than the 60 points), but I did get 2 of the Pixi lip balms last month (and in different colors!), so I guess this isn't too bad.

@disconik  I'm also getting a 7 item box but a different one (Box 23!) 
 
After two boxes that I was not pleased with, it looks like I have a LOT to look forward too-I'm really hoping to like the English Laundry scent so fingers crossed!  I have also been wanting to try the Liz Earle Clense and Polish-Has anyone tried it?!?

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.

I was actually just pondering this.  Especially the 4 item boxes with the samples of They're Real! in them.

My main account it only 4 items but I'm excited about it..

-Vasanti (which I love-I've been with BB over 3 years and I'm shocked to finally get it in this sub now, I thought those chances were long gone haha)

-lava sheer lip thingy (I have an unused purple I am going to trade but I'll keep this sheer one)

-Davies ol all in one milk (is this a foil? Anyone know? I skipped over the past few pages)

-p.C resist moisturizer with retinol. I am soooo into anything paulas choice! Soooooo excited! I hope people want to trade theirs!

My second account it still not updated.

Canceled the third last month and, ahem, forth- still no Kate spade necklace. Grrrr

 LOL I had the same problem dealing with the BB Ops 'Zen Desk' lol.  I ordered the Kate Spade necklace in April and it took for-ev-er to arrive and I kept going back and forth with someone who kept telling my that my regular BB was on it's way and couldn't understand that I was asking about the necklace  :angry: ...I feel for you!

My box showed up today, and it's an okay one!

Coola Tinted Matte Mineral - I like coola so I'm one of the few who is okay with this. But not exciting!

English Laundry Signature for Her - I smelled this when Ipsy sent it out and I loved it, so I'm happy to get this!

Evologie Stay Clear Cleanser - This suits me well but I'm swimming in cleansers, so it's not too exciting.

LAQA & Co  Sheer Lip Lube Pencil in Menatour (purple) YES! They never send me Laqa when they send it out. The color is perfect!

SaraPotempa - The Half Up...this is the kind of thing I would have LOVED before I chopped all my hair off! Right now, it's useless for me, but I'll hold onto it until I grow it out again.

OI All In One Milk- foil, .13 oz, 4 ml

If we have the All in one milk, does it mean we get all three? My items to review just show the one.. I got the shampoo in a Pick 2 and was shocked that my hair really likes it.

 

[ButterflyGrl]

UGH BUMBLEFRICK! I logged on to see my box contents and AGAIN it says my first box will ship soon! My freaking box has already shipped and it is my 31st box! Come on BB, put down the martini and get this crap fixed! Last month I got no box contents until about the 25th. This is really peeing on my cornflakes!

Sorry, end. rant.

 

[natashaia]

I'm getting a box with the Cynthia rowley lip stain, which normally I would be thrilled about. I actually just got it from the bonus shop! Off to my trade list it goes. Do we have a swap thread yet?

 

[Meggpi]

My box page won't load on my computer but when I checked in my mobile browser I have a 4 item box with nothing I want.  I'm going to try the Vasanti because it gets so many rave reviews but I have sensitive skin so I'm not holding my breath.  I really want makeup and I always hold off on getting Ipsy and keep BB (I keep myself on a strict one box limit) because I like higher end products, but end up with Coastal Scents in BB.  I think this month I just have major major envy this month.  Lippy and eyeliner in one box and I get hotel lotion?  Meh.  

I got:

Vasanti Brighten Up!

Gilchrist & Soames lotion

Davines All in One Milk

CS Revealed

Hmmm... let's see.  This is on my second account and it showed up before the box pages updated but I'll check my box page now!

Mine just says the All In One OI Milk- however, it's also not showing the Catherine Maladrino perfume that I received :/

@@elizabethrose -- I don't want to get my hopes up about the liner, but that would be terrific.

@@Meggpi -- Ipsy certainly is more make-up centric than BB, but you're right (generally speaking) about the trade-off of brands.

 

[elizabethrose]

I was actually just pondering this.  Especially the 4 item boxes with the samples of They're Real! in them.  

I would totally be down if this is the case.  But now my main box page is being glitchy and won't show me anything :/

Edit- kidding, it loaded, still with 4 products.

 

[Tamarin]

I feel like there are too many people with 4-item boxes on their accounts for all of them to get the liner...not going to get my hopes up.

Same, also don't want to get my hopes up, but it would be awesome.  My box won't come in for a few days though and I'm headed out of town :/

I so wanted a 60pt box so I could get to the 100increment and cancel. But I got a 50pt box. It had LAQA and the CS sampler so I cannot complain. I traded last month for the purple LAQA and I love it! So I would welcome a backup purple or another color. I got jergens BB body cream -.- I got it before in a pick 2 and gave it to my mom so she'll be getting another one. I also got some English Laundry perfume (I die for perfume, LOVE it) and some Cauldie?? Anti wrinkle serum (I love anti aging stuff, I protect and moisturize my skin like no other but at 22 I'm not that into it that much! If you have your age on your profile why would they send something like that) I'll try not to complain and look at the positives....LAQA! YAY!

Part of me wants to email them about 8pts. Or just make a purchase or stick with it for another 2months to get to the 200mark. I really should've waited to cash in my points from before.
