You can upload to make up talk's servers, no need to host it!

This is my favorite box that Im getting. I may put the jouer tint up for trade if they send me glow, because I already know that one does not work for me. I also want to get rid of the mens cologne but wont trade it alone. Waste of money to do so.

This is my other one and I dont like it. I have a trade pending for the mask and likewise moisturizer/sunscreen/cream.

Those are the two I'm most excited about too!!!! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I am getting the tanning towels in my box and I noticed on the site there are two colors...One is like normal and the other is intensive. I'm getting the intensive and I do like self-tanning products but I'm pretty pale so I'm wondering if this will be too much. Has anyone gotten intensive and tried them yet?

Here's my June Box:

Also my box!!! I'm also excited for the Stila and Stainiac.

Wonderstruck perfume? I already have; in the rollerball form

Self-tanning? IDK, if i want to try

Luna Bar? Seriously? If I wanted one I could've went to the store and buy myself one.

But, I'm satisfied with my box overall :]

I haven't tried them, but I got all 4 intensive packets from boxes 6 & 7. They are all up for trade!

Newbe here!  This is my first month of subscribing, is the "welcome box" supposed to contain the current months items?  I cant find feedback for anything on the Birchbox website /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I'm getting:



and



really excited about my second box, as the eyeko stick was my #1 most wanted item.  

The tanning towels  &bronzing items are a bit excessive for me, as I'm already living in CA and tan quite easily (plus, have an array of TOOFACED bronzers..). 

I already own a full sized 3.4 oz of Wonderstruck, so I guess I'll just give it to someone. And I'm sure my husband will eat up the LUNA bar lol

Overall, quite happy with everything. Especially my EYEKO stick.

Hi all!  This is my first post, though I've read through a lot of the thread.  My friend gave me a three-month gift subscription, ending this month.  Last month, I activated a second account because of the GG box hype, and was a little underwhelmed aside from a few of the products.  I'd gotten the Stila eyeliner in Curacao last month, but I never wear electric blue eyeliner at all.  My profiles are set for skincare on one and makeup on the other, but according to my account, I'm receiving the same exact boxes later this week.   /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  I was hoping to try a variety of products - not that the box is that bad - but this is what I'll be receiving that this week:

Not really interested in the bars or tanners or perfume samples at all.  I guess I will be putting up those and the duplicates for trade.  I'm happy to get the stainiac and bronzer, but I wish I could have gotten an eyeliner or even the headband.

HAS ANYONE RECEIVED ​

BOX #19 ?​

I STILL HAVENT SEEN ANYONE POST ABOUT IT!​

Its the one with the Modcloth Headband, Juicy Couture perfume, theBalm stainiac, coola cucumber spf lotion, jouer luminizing moisture tint, and comodynes tanning towelettes. I am actually really excited about my box but crossing my fingers that I get the polkadotted headband not the deer printed one, and thinking that I will probably trade the jouer!​

 

[marygoround]

I believe the Welcome box does not include the current month's products.  I think it is a standard first box.  My friend gave me a gift subscription and that's what I ended up getting.  

 

[Sparkle17]

Ahh, thanks.  I was looking forward to the items in this months box too, looks like everyone is getting really cool stuff.  Oh well, I hope next months is as good or better /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I dont think you are getting a welcome box per se.. did you already log into your account and click on the 'Box" tab?

 

[MerMaeg]

Got the contents of my box on the site today and I'm sort of disappointed.

I really really wanted the Modcloth headband and Stila bronzer but I ended up with the eyeko stick and stainiac so I can't really complain

 

[Sparkle17]

Yes, when I click on the box tab it just says "your first box will ship soon!"  Then when I click on June box tab it shows all of the items that are in this months box.  I dont have any feedback options and my welcome email says that I will get a shipping notification on Wednesday.  I am praying for a June box ! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[TheNittyPretty]

Thank you Amberlamps and Playedinloops! I think I got it, LOL!

This is the box I'm getting which is Box 11

I think it's a bit of an unreasonable request that you can opt out of products.  In order to make a box that fits the specific needs of every person there would need to be hundreds of box variations.  So X-person like fragrance (but wait, they DO if it isn't fruity or floral or musky or white or green) AND doesn't like tanner and Y-person don't know how to put on liquid eyeliner AND is allergic to nuts, and Z person doesn't leave the house until it is dark and doesn't need spf etc, what do you expect from a sample service?  If makeup items are worth more, how can they fairly balance boxes if people are opting out of everything?  People are way too complex for this to be feasible.  They have services where you can pick what you want, and those have their own drawbacks so it is a trade off. 

I am getting a headband and have a hard time wearing them because the ledge of the back of my head isn't deep enough to hold them in place, surely there should be a check box for head shape.

 

[aleeeshuh]

Me too /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> At first, I wasn't too thrilled about my BB subscription. But the past two months have been awesome /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I can see why they're such a successful sampling program
