Just got my Box and am just curious how many are going to be unsubbing from this...LOL I tell you what this has got to be my WORST subscription box I get..for starters I use Shampoos& Conditioners on my hair I use WEN and have for over 2 years now...and how many fragrances can one person have? I just don't understand how a we subscribers can let them know through several social outlets and them not switch things up a bit. Okies rant done for this month am going to give it one more month hopefully they switch it up a bit or I will leave this box and find another one...by the way I am in no way disputing the fact I realize these are samples and I should be grateful and I am but come on BirchBox
Everyone is different so I'm not sure what they could really change things to that would make everyone happy. Right now the only product you can sort of narrow is the 6 perfumes max option, otherwise everything else is fair game. I know a lot of girls here hate getting hair samples but I personally love them and wish they'd send more. I guess that's why they make their points system so great. Hopefully you find a few things that are fun to try otherwise we have a lot of people interested in swapping :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
 
I'm mostly only excited about the lip stain and the curly hair product. I'll try out the others for sure but am not hyped up yet. My skin is super sensitive so face washes/etc usually don't work well for me. But we'll find out!
Yeah, same here. However, I ADORE the Vasanti....that stuff is amazing. Saving points to finally pick it up. Did wonders for my skin and felt luxurious! 

 
My box arrived. I don't really love it, and on top of that, the tinted Coola is a bust. The top *and* the inner seal came off, so it got on another sample and the Coola is all dried up. Bleh. Off to bug Birchbox about it.

 
I guess I should be happy I did not get shampoo and conditioner this month.  Excited for the Laqa that I really wanted last month but did not get.  Apparently June is not my month for beauty subs.  Bring on July!

 I got tho box too! i love it! the multi curls thing is strange, but i love the rest of the box! i already have the lip stain from gwp- its a lot smaller than the stila sample but the color was gorgeous! i think it will work on lots of skin tones! 
Yay! I am pumped! Should be in my mailbox when I get home. Its like 106 degrees today, so I hope the box didn't spontaneously combust :p /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
I saw people asking earlier if the Dr Hauschka Body Wash was a foil or bottle; it's neither!  It's more like a travel size toothpaste container.  It's 10 ml and you have to open the container by piercing the foil enclosure with the lid, if that makes sense.

 
Poo.  Im getting gilchrist and soames body lotion, No4 shampoo and conditioner, coola, perfume and Vasanti enzymatic cleaner.  I'm happy about the Vasanti but not so much everything else.  

Side question:

Can you get points for reviewing items in the LE boxes?

 
I'm still trying to figure out what I am actually getting.  First the ap said 7 items, but the website said 5.  Then the ap shampoo/conditioner changed to a different one but still 7 items and the website now matches that.  This all happened after I got my shipping notice.

Currently says I am getting:

Vasanti BrightenUp! Enzymatic Face Rejuvenator
Folle de Joie eau de parfum
LAQA & Co. Sheer Lip Lube Pencil
Davines OI / All in One Milk
Supergoop!® Everyday SPF 30 with Cellular Response Technology, 18 oz.
Davines Love Smoothing Shampoo
Davines Love Smoothing Conditioner
 
 
Last month I had an 8 item box so basically I just got 15 samples, $15 in points....I can't complain.  I am happy to try all of this this month!

I got box 19 yesterday with eight items and up until this evening the box page said 6 and now it has all 8 listed so I was able to review all 8 items.

 
I completely forgot it was the 10th until I came home to a BB in the mail box!

I got box 25 - I really like everything:

Egyptian Magic Skin Cream - tried this before and like it
Cynthia Rowley Beauty Creamy Lip Stain
 - I'll try it
Miss Jessie's® Multicultural Curls - I like Miss Jessie's products
Antica Farmacista Bath & Shower Wash - smells nice
Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish™ Hot Cloth Cleanser Starter Kit - had this before and liked it
 
My other account is getting box 21 (yay 7 items):
Harvey Prince Hello
 - I like this
LAQA & Co. Sheer Lip Lube Pencil
 - I have the purple, so may trade this since I don't want a dupe and don't care for the other colors. I'll wait and see
Davines OI / All in One Milk - I've tried this and it's ok. I'll just dump it in the other bottle I have.
The Aloe Source Vitamin C Antioxidant Crème
 - I'll try it
Davines Love Smoothing Shampoo
 - don't use SLS
Davines Love Smoothing Conditioner
 - meh
Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish™ Hot Cloth Cleanser Starter Kit

 - I like this

 
Got my 2nd account box today! It's box 47.

The Suki is tiny but the Perlier is a decent size.  The green thing in the top right is an EOS lip balm I added for scale.  The Coola sample I got looks to be at least 1/2 full? And the seal is still on.  The CS sample is thinner than I thought it would be.

It has been an interesting day for me and Birchbox. I finally got a clicky truck with tracking that does not work, but my page has not uploaded. I do not have a smartphone, so no luck with getting an app. On a positive note, my May replacement box showed up today. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Dying to see what I will get for June now!

 
Okay the other box is decidedly less crappy than the first one (even though it didn't load until an hour ago and only after I emailed BB to yell at them -- and they excused themselves, of course. This is the second month in a row my box didn't load on the 10th)

Am I excited about more shampoo? No. But I've wanted to try the Davines, and I'm not going to be upset at 7 items.

Also the "footwipes" are a full pack of 10 so I guess I will take them around for when I need to clean my hands before eating or something.

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
 
I just subscribed yesterday and was wondering if anybody knows when my box will update.  The email I received said it will be shipping June 20th if that helps.

 
Boo! I can't see either of my Birchbox contents. My main sub still shows May. My second account I unsubed from early in the AM on June 1 hoping to cancel before they charged me but I still got charged and the box shipped. But when I try to see the box contents, it just shows a page telling me to resubscribe. Does that mean I won't be able to review my items for points when I get the box?
