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 ?

I've still got nothing: no shipping notification, no feedback buttons, still showing May's box. I've been subbing since april 2011 and it has never taken so long. If mine is in fact shipping on the 20th, ok, but I wish something would update so I would at least know it's actually on it's way and they didn't somehow just...forget me this month or something. There's a big difference between shipping on the 10th and shipping on the 20th, IMO. I wonder why there is such a disparity. I'm super patient as long as I know it's on it's way. Not to be paranoid, but I think I might call just to make sure.

i'd call - well, i did. haha. i was feeling paranoid that nothing was even showing up as a shipping date. so i confirmed that i have one reserved and it's going out "next week". i'm just assuming the 20th cos of how they ship.

The eyeko fat stick I got this month (charcoal in box #11) came in it's own box, but the one I got last month (taupe in box #7) didn't.

Just called and Whitney told me I'd be in the second wave of boxes going out. Didn't get a specific date but that's okay, just wanted to make sure I am in fact getting one. On the plus side, by the time I get this one it will almost be time already for July's. So I tell myself so I'm not so overwhelmed by jealousy at all the lucky ducks who have their boxes, lol!

 

[TinaMarina]

Same for me. Mine was just loose without it's own box. I think mine is the black/charcoal color, but like yours, no label!

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. 

 

[yanelib27]

Has anyone tried the pore minimizing mask? And if so, did you like it?

 

[poopfruit]

that's weird, my eyeko didn't come in a box either.

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.


I don't eat them (darn soy!) but my family does. Target almost always has the 6-pack of 1.69oz bars on sale for $5.00. That makes them $1.20 a bar. About the same I guess, although I'm not sure why anyone would order Luna bars and pay for shippping from BB when you can buy them at grocery stores.

LOL! I know I'll be compulsively checking my email till then, so I'm not TOTALLY zen about it. I just hate getting it so late that it will be old news once I post the review to my blog.

I had box 9 and got the Old Gold Eyeko Fat stick in a eyeko box. That's really odd that some came with boxes and some didn't. I also think it's odd that the product isn't labeled with the color name...

 

[elviscupcake]

My box #2 should be in my mail box today. This is my third box and I am pretty excited. I am just kind of hoping that my Stila One Step Bronzer is not too mixed up after making its way all the way to the West Coast. I am pretty content and happy with my box this month, but I am very curious about the Melvita Floral Water. Has anyone who got it tried it....and what do you think. I am considering using points on it, seems like a great product for summer. I already own Clinique moisture surge spray and I am concerned they won't be much different except for the scent.
 

 

[annacristina]

Woo! Just got mine this afternoon! Unfortunately, I'm not terribly stoked about the contents... 

I think the only thing I"ll end up using is the Staniac. 

 

[murflegirl]

I'm figuring the Luna bars are more expensive for a few reasons - like the fact that they ship free this month. I'm sure Birchbox jacked up the price a bit to account for that.

Just a thought!

I'm getting this one too.  I'm not excited about it either, and that sucks since we had to wait so long to get it.  Mine isn't scheduled to deliver until Monday.

 

[zadidoll]

Our boxes came. I haven't opened the girls boxes as it belongs to them but I did open mine and wow... that Dr. Jart sample... empty tube much?

Got my 2 boxes, both with the bronzer! So excited! both box #2.  weights were .5480 and .5430

             I received the same box #2, but only received one of the tanning wipes.... I'm not complaining, since I received a $36 bronzer, but clearly it looks like I should've received two....

I don't know, the Dr. Jart BB Creams are pretty good, the Stainiac is amazing, and I'm really liking the rose water. I don't think you did TOO bad!
