Birchbox: The June Box discussion

[SetToStunning]

I got box 9!! I'm very happy with it. Here's my video if anyone is curious.

I can't wait to try the tanner /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 Has anybody checked out the Luna Bars on the Birchbox website compared to in the store or online?  Birchbox has what looks like a box of 15 of the 0.7 oz bars for $18.75.  I am thinking they are crazy.  Aren't 1.69 oz Luna Bars are $1.00 each at CVS or Walgreens?  Has anybody else noticed this?  I got Box #2.  Yes, the peanut butter Luna Bar.  I haven't taken a picture of my whole box yet, so I'm waiting before I eat it.  I am thinking I will stop at CVS next to my house in the morning and see if they have the Chocolate Peppermint ones when I head out to Oakview Mall for the Bath and Body Works semi-annual sale.  I need something yummy for breakfast because I work at night and I'm getting up in the morning, which I never do unless it's really important. 

 My Birchbox arrived today.  My feedback buttons are available when I click each item on my Box page, and I am happy to say I can leave feedback for all 5 items in my box.  I was worried Birchbox might cheat us out of being able to leave feedback for the Luna Bar since it's a food item. 

 I can't wait to try the stila one-step bronzer.  I plan to use it on my decolletage where the lower part isn't getting as tan as the rest.  Does anybody have any tips for that?  I've never used a bronzer at all before.

WAIT A MINUTE.

Did EVERYONE get their fat eyeko stick in an eyeko box?! My BB didn't come with a box for the eyeko stick, it was just in my BB.  I didn't even know what color it was called because it doesn't say it on the product and there was no box.



see, no box for the eyeko.

By the way, mine is a goldish color.
Also, am I the only one that has been using the staniac solely on my cheeks?! I haven't read that anyone else is in the thread yet.  I love it! I recently ran out of blush and now I think I'm going to stick with this! It gives me perfect color! I'm so glad I got one in each of my boxes! 

OH and, does anyone else think the bronzer video BB did was awful?! I've never used a liquid bronzer before! I typically use a Cargo bronzer or a BareMinerals bronzer... I don't even own a sponge, haha.

I use it only on my cheeks...I've been putting some on in the morning and no other makeup, and it's just beautiful! I love the stuff and will probably use my pts on a full size /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I love that it lasts all day!

The Luna Bars are around 88 cents at my walmart. The Cynthia Rowley band-aids are $2.54 at target. Birchbox is crazy for selling them for $14 on their website.....

Nope. The Eyeko Fat Eye Stick was in boxes 9, 11 & 20 while the Skinny Liquid Eyeliner was only in box 4.

Sorry for the confusion! I received the FAT eye stick, but it did not come IN a eyeko box. It was just in my BB without a brand box to contain it-- I had no idea what color it was called because it doesn't say it on the tube.

Even if you didn't get the coupon, I'm pretty sure you can still you it if you use the link.  I posted it a few days ago when I got my box.  It's http://www.artspace.com/birchbox.  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  There was no code or anything.

I got the same box as you (twice), and no eyeko box. Just from what I've seen, I don't think anyone with our particular box got the eyeko box. Who knows? Maybe they did our box first, packing wise, and thought that the box was too much, then changed their mind? Or maybe some came with boxes and some didn't, so they just picked one type of box to not include the box in? (Wow, everything about these last two sentences is confusing.)

It would be nice to have the eyeko box, but since I'm not really allergic to anything, it wasn't a huge deal.

My fat eyeko came in a box. (#20)

I dunno, someone else got Charcoal... I thought I read someone got the Old Gold, but maybe I made that up.

I got the old gold and I LOVE it!!

And mine came in an eyeko box. Wonder why some didn't?

So BB is selling them for $1.25ea. My grocery store typically sells them for that as well.

Although, once a month (or so) they go on sale for $1 and I stock up.

My box is taking a long time this time so I peeked and I'm so happy with it!

 

[injectionenvy]

Did everyone get the men's cologne? What did people think of this? The smell of it kind of made me queasy so I can't even give it to my boyfriend. I guess I'm just not into colognes.

 

[yanelib27]

I love the cologne and if I had a bf I would get him to use it. Love the smell.

 

[Blackbirdxo]

I got it and I actually really liked it. Boyfriend wants me to use birchbox points on it for him =]

 

[Naun-Negotiable]

Ah boo - i called today and got Whitney and she said my 2nd box won't be going out til next week (i think the 20th) - aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh so much twitchy clicking to see what's in my box /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  Oh well, that's what i get for waiting so long i guess.
I made my trade list since i won;t know the other items for so long. Check it out, even if it is sparse ~


What's up with the other girls who were waiting on delivery notification ?

 Stores sell the 1.69oz luna bars for 1.00 to 1.25 each. What she meant is a box of 15 bars that are only 0.7oz each is 18.75 on the BB site. The bars are smaller and you pay more so it really is a rip off if you ask me. I also wouldn't pay 6.99 for a box of 10 minis because if that's the size we got in our BB, it would take like 4 of those to equal one regular luna bar which is only about a buck anyway!

I got that one too, and it also came in a box. Have you tried yours yet? I am worried it will be too bright for my fair skin...

 My H got it in his BB last month.  I don't love it, but don't mind it.  He is going to use up the sample but I wouldn't buy it.

I do hope I don't get it a my extra in my box though.
