Birchbox: The June Box discussion

[TXSlainte]

You know, as crazy as it seems I really kind of love the tili bag. It's a little sturdier than a regular ziplock baggie, and super cute. I use baggies to organize lots of different things, so I can see myself definitely purchasing these!

Thanks for all the duplicate BB account replies.  I am going to try it.  I am going to do a completely different profile and see what happens!!!

Anyone know how to stop the GE locomotive commercial? Hearing it each time I go into a thread is annoying

  lol

I have had at least 2 accounts since March and I have gotten the same box only once (April). I had 3 boxes last month and had 3 different boxes. I have since canceled my 3rd account. I have SS and GB too so I really dont need the 3rd BB account /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Wow, my box finally reached the destination MI center in my state. It took 6 days to get there from NY. I don't like this MI crap, I've received junk from China in about a week. I should get it tomorrow.

My tracking is finally working. Expected delivery date is the 15th.

Received my box. I think number 8. Mask, facial moisturizer, Ada Bronzer, bandaids, stainiac and that's all. Though there is coupon to artspace which I have no current use for since me and my fiancee are saving up to move out and get married, but its 25 off first purchase. Anyone who wants link its www.artspace.com/birchbox. Doesn't seem like u need a code or anything. If we were moving out soon id probably use, but we aren't for almost a year.

I'm getting box 26! But only on Friday /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> SO IMPATIENT!

I read that most people who received the Dr. Jart BB in this box got an almost empty tube. That is what I'm getting in my box. If it's almost empty, I plan on contacting Birchbox to complain--has anyone else done that? Did they send you a new sample or compensate you in any way?

The empty Jart BB cream was the blue bottle in May's box. I think the Jart BB cream in this month's box is in the brown tube and full.

Oh, good to know!! Thanks /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I was really looking forward to trying a BB cream, so I'm glad it's not this month that had an issue.

This is my second month with BB.  I have 2 very different profiles and received EXACTLY the same boxes this month , which by the way are up for swap, pretty much everything

 

[AmyElizabeth]

I received box #15 I think. No stila or cute bandaids but I did get the modcloth headband. I am currently in a swap for the green one as I received the red one. Pretty excited for that!
 

 

[AmyElizabeth]

For those that received the full size Stila bronzer, how is it??? Do you put it on over foundation?

I've had 2 BB subs for two months. Although the profiles are different, the boxes have been the same.  Luckily I liked my BBs the past 2 months.

Finally got my box today even though it wasn't supposed to be here until the 14th.

I got box 24 and that Jouer Sample is tiny, goes well with my skin tone though. I like the Stainiac how it is more of a jelly and not just a liquid like the benefit one I threw away recently. I will definitely use everything on my trip to Sedona. I will have my husband help me apply the self tanner the day before we leave and the other while we are there if it works well.
