Birchbox: The June Box discussion

[heather4602]

my fat stick wasn't in a box. i got the dark teal-y color though. was the black the only one that came in a box? i don't rather care, I'd rather not waste packaging that i'm going to toss anyways but did anyone else get one out of the box?

Y Mine was the teal color and it didn't come in a box!

For everyone who received the Stila bronzer, was anyone's helix a little messed up? I mean i'm really happy I got it and I'm guessing it's from the way it was shipped and how it went from NJ to NY and then back to NJ but obviously the product doesn't move when you shake it lol. It's not a big deal but my inner neat freak is coming out lmao. Do you guys think it's worth shooting an email to BB?

 Don't know if you guys can tell by the picture :/

Mine was a bit messed up as well, but, after reading the bottle, it is common place for such things to happen. Especially since it was in transit and I'm sure it was jostled during delivery. It does not effect the product in any way.

 yup same, just a bit messed up at the top. their packaging does say that it happens and won't affect the product at all.

LOL! I'm the same way. It would bother me

I tried on the Stainiac as soon as I got it lol. I really like it, still on my lips now. I didn't think it would be flattering on me but the subtleness of it is nice... will make sure to purchase a full-size during my next sephora shopping attack.

Thanks for the picture. This one is on it's way to me but won't be here until Monday. Boo! So excited though. Except for the cologne, i'm happy I got this box.

I received Box 4 today! I'm extremely happy with this box. It's my fourth month with BB and this is my favorite of all. Aside from the cologne, these products mostly are things I want/need.


Cynthia Rowley Band-Aids - $7.00

Melvita Floral Water - About $3.14

Eyeko Skinny Liquid Liner - $15.00

theBalm Stainiac - $2.29

Yu-Be Skin Cream - $1.28

Total Value - $28.71

I'm not totally sure about the Band-Aids, since on the BB website it says 40-count for $14.00 but on the card in my box it says 20-count for $15.00. This box is 20-count, so it's either worth $7.00 or $15.00.
Yu-Be Skin Cream
Isopropyl Myristate

Glyceryl Stearate SE

Methylparaben
They even added some jet-set theme stamps on the inside of the box. Love this little touch!

Wow! This is the second month I got my box a day early! Although I've gotta say that I wasn't impressed with any of the boxes this month. The Balm Stainiac is pretty neat, though! I'm wearing it right now. I'm so pale but the shade is SO flattering on my cheeks!! I needed a good pop of color, anyway!! :-D I've also gotta say that the lashes are beautiful, but I'm not fond of any false lashes. They're also spoken for! Hope the lady I send them to gets good use out of 'em! 

Ooh! I also got my Target Summer Beauty Box in the mail, too!!! I thought that was pretty cool! It was PACKED! I'll go over to that thread and show off the contents later. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I noticed that I'm the only one without the jet-set theme stamps on my box, it's just the plain one lol. No big deal as I throw them out anyway. Thank you for doing the math! I wanted to know the value but was dreading doing it. I hate math lol.

Hopefully this isn't against the forum rules. I would die if I got kicked out of these Birchbox monthly hunts lols. 

Anyways, here's my video unboxing Box 4. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I'm obsessed with bb videos

I was beginning to think that I was the only one here who doesn't save all the boxes!

I don't save the shipping boxes but the actual ones are fantastic for storing my makeup. Just another way that Birchbox fuels my makeup addiction...giving me more places to hold it.

 lol! Awwww! What is it with cats and boxes? My mom has a cat that just loves to squeeze herself in any box she can find! So they made her up a little "boxie" with a blankie in it and she curls right up in it all the time and goes to sleep! My dog is weird... when I open my birchbox (or any sample box), she whines until I show her what I got and let her sniff each thing! I guess she thinks it's food, LOL! But I pretend she's one of the girls and is all excited too, HA HA!

lol my cat would not get out of one of my sample society boxes. It's too funny. I don't save my birchboxes, I just use them for shipping.
