Birchbox: The June Box discussion

[HiImDaisy]

Thank you, Scooby384!! Ahhh I got box #2 which is kind of disappointing because I'm pale and don't want bronzer/tanner. And I don't want perfume either because I already have 5 bottles of Burberry/VS/Dior/etc. and I can go buy a Luna bar for a dollar (although they are delicious). The only thing I'm even looking forward to is the lip/cheek stain. Blah. Wish I could trade. I'd take the darn headband over the bronzer. Wish I'd gotten the fat stick. This was my 1st one so I hope I have better luck in July!

LOL This is why I hate it when my tracking # comes among the first waves because it's an indication of it being one of the lower # boxes. This month all three of my girls are getting box #2 and I'm getting box #3. The higher box # are the more rare boxes while the lower #s are more common.

When I first did my beauty profile, I listed my splurge item as perfume, because at the time, that is what I would spend most of my money on.  However, I did change it after the first month to splurge item being makeup because I had an account on perfumesforabuck.com and was getting like 7 perfume samples a month (ones that I could choose).  Well, I still continue to receive perfume in EVERY box even after I changed my splurge item which I find kind of odd.  I have a second BB account where my splurge item is makeup and I almost never get perfume on that account so I wonder if changing your settings even helps?

Ehhh I got Box #2 which is kind of disappointing because I'm pale and there are TWO tanning things (bronzer and tanning wipes) But Luna bars are good and I'm excited about the staniac? I already have a billion perfumes so I'm not entirely excited about the Taylor Swift perfume but for $10 I'm not going to complain too much. I hope July brings me better luck!

I got box two as well, and I'm excited! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> You can head here https://www.makeuptalk.com/t/121990/birchbox-open-trade-thread to trade what you don't want for some things you wish you had gotten, I know the Bronzer is highly sought after!

Does anyone find the Stainiac to stain that well?  I'm super pale and very little color seems to show up on my lips or cheeks even after 2 layers.  It also seems to apply splotchy.  What a bummer because that was the product I've been wanting to try forever.  Any tips on how to get the color to actually "pop?"  Right now my $6 Maybelline bouncy blush in plum wine gives me the nicest reddish pinkish flush ever that doesn't fade so that is what I have to compare it to.

Aw,

. Sorry, girl! I have had box envy something major for the last few months, too! This is my 4th box and I finally actually like more than 1 thing in it! I did change my profile before this month's box was shipped, so that may have something to do with it! I changed my age to be a lot younger, because I was getting mostly just skincare stuff, and since I am trying out a whole skincare line right now, those are useless to me! So maybe change your's up for next month..? You are getting some good stuff, too, though! Stainiac, liquid liner, the floral spray is multi-use, from what the site says! Only thing I don't understand is the darn cologne...I know they are promoting the BB Man, but still!

My eyeko fat stick is broken!!!! I am so so sad. I was jumping for joy when I found out I got this product. I really hope they will send me a replacement and not just give me the 100 points but for some reason I seriously doubt it....

just gave enough feedback to get points so I can order the beauty blender cleanser for free.  i just can't picture myself buying $20 worth of cleanser for my brushes and blender thingie.  i still don't know why they won't put it in my damn box when i got the blender in february. i also want something from stila for once in my life. i see stila on here all the time and i have yet to get anything from them 

I LOVE the cleanser. Have you tried it before? I felt so-so about it when I got it as a sample, but then I tried it and was sooo happy I had gotten it! I love the scent, too, but I love anything lavender! I am saving up my points to a free one, too!

I'm new to this group, but longtime lurker. I have 2 BB subs and for the second month I got the same box on both accounts! I can't complain because I got boxes with the Stila, but I really want to try the Eyeko fat stick. Anyone tried it yet? Do you like it? Can it be used as liner or mostly just shadow?

its not too bad, but smudges easily. and not in a good way. if you touch your eyes, it will spread all over. but they are very creamy and the pigmentation is nice, i got it last month in satin taupe.

 

[murflegirl]

Any eyeko skinny liners received yet? I'm getting one in my box and I'm wondering if we're getting the blue or green like on the website, or another color...

I just subscribed to Birchbox so this is my first box - it gave me my shipping notice on June 8th and said my estimated shipping date is the 16th, and my shipping weight is 0.5450. How does everyone know what box they're getting? I've been scrolling through 32 pages of this thread so far and I haven't seen this weight yet (I'll continue to read through all the pages though! I just wanted to see if anyone had a quicker response). I wouldn't mind the band aids or the headband actually but some of the boxes would disappoint me, especially since this is my 1st box. Do not care for the men's cologne! My boyfriend rarely uses cologne!

 you might be getting box #2, with a full sized stila bronzer, wonderstruck sample, luna bar, staniac and tanning wipes because my weight was was pretty close. but not certain. i would check birchbox.com by signing in and clicking the box option next to shop. Let me know what you get! im always curious to find out lol.

I've got box 4.  And I'm super excited!
 

 

[Missglammygirl]

for those who recieved luna bars in their boxes, was it only in peanut butter? I know its a weird question, but not looking forward to that flavor. especially because im getting 2 of box #2

Dude! Bronzer and tanning wipes are FOR pale people, wouldn't you love to look a little tanner?!  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

the full size bottle is too much.. the rollerball = perfect amount! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> haha

Haha! Sure! As long as they don't make me look orange! I guess we'll see. I'm planning to trade the Stila bronzer since I don't ever use bronzer and I might either give the tanning towelettes to my sister or try them out if they're not too intense. I'm still bitter because I put my splurge as HAIR and I get PERFUME samples. I love perfume but I wanted at least a cute headband or conditioner or something! The Luna bars are delicious my favorite is chocolate raspberry but they're a dollar. I could go to the supermarket and drop 4 quarters and get one. I don't want to pay for a beauty box to get food lol! But it IS a good box; I just wish they'd actually followed my profile... For those of you who get 2 subs, how does that work? Did you use 2 different emails? Do you get 2 of the same boxes or are they different? I'm wondering if it's worth it

i use 2 different emails. same shipping address, same payment method. i got 2 different boxes this month and it's my first month doing 2 boxes. the beauty profiles on each subscription are different though to hopefully get 2 different boxes every time.

 

[o0jeany0o]

I have 2 Birchbox subscriptions, two different emails, same address, two different ways of payment and I've gotten different boxes. This is my second month of having two boxes. I'm getting box #2 and #6. The boxes are similar but I'm getting 2 full size Stila Bronzers so I'm not complaining.

Last month, I had two completely different boxes with only one product overlap, the Dior perfume, which was great because then I got a lot more products to sample. 

When tracking emails come I always hope they don't come at the same time because that would mean I'm getting two different boxes. 
 

If my boxes were both the same for two months or so, I would cancel them because why would I want the same box twice?
