Birchbox: The June Box discussion

[JessP]

Has anyone changed their age on their Birchbox profile to change the types of samples you get? I'm wondering if it makes a huge difference?

Hahahahahahahaaaaa....I just looked at the pictures again.  SOOOOOOOO funny looking.  I can't get over how "clownish" they look.  Like big clown shoes, they can also wear big clown barrettes!!  (Sorry to everyone who likes those things, HA!)

There are 2 new products in the shop:


Kiehl's Activated Sun Protector



blowPro beach blow texturizing mist


I don't have a feedback option for either.

I've heard the 2nd item is really good, like better than the bumble and bumble equivilent (thanks to missglamorazzi!)

I'm 50, and so far almost all the products I have received seem to be geared to my age group.  I didnt receive any Willa products when they were including those, and never rec'd any products for acne or oily skin.  I have gotten an Algenist product in both of my Birchboxes, and the Keratase for "mature" hair and other products more suitable to my age. 

I saw Katia on one of the morning news programs a while back, and she did state that they do look at demographics.

It looks like we might be getting beachy summer type products.  Not my favorite type of products, but I'll try whatever they send me.  I have been pleasantly surprised by quite a few of the products I have gotten in the past.  Things I never in a million years would have tried if I were to choose them for myself are now my favorite products.

They debited the $10 June 1st in the morning ! Lol wasted no time collecting for the June box. Hope it's a good one, I've subscribed since March and all of them have been eh for me (missed out on the TV option). I just hope for no more nail polish or skin care. Makeup would be amazing. I cancelled my second box and if BB doesn't step it up I may cancel altogether once glossybox accepts more subscriptions.

I agree. Hoping it's makeup and also think the BB boxes are just ok.I only have 2 months so far into my sub. I did purchase a shu uemura hair oil because of the sample I received. Hope we do get something from Benefit.

Your clown shoe analogy is pretty funny! 

I have seen quite few women in Boston wearing them or similar to them lately.  I kinda like them, but dont think I could wear anything that big and bold.

Oh my...those barrettes are hilarious.  I can't look at them without completely cracking up.  They look totally fake...like somethng you'd wear as a gag.  SO funny looking!

Exactly, I'd be mad if I got one. But maybe they're too big to fit in a birchbox ? Hopefully

Awesome! I love the tiny lip glosses. They sent me Wind and Mimosa. I use the lip enhancer every day. (Bought a full-size with BB points) I gave my mom a packet of the Luminizing Moisture Tint that was too dark for me and she loved it so much she bought a full-size!

Love Jouer customer service.

how did you get these samples???

We've emailed Jouer customer service and requested samples. : )

How long did it take for your samples to arrive? I wrote them last week and they responded on May 18 that they would send them out. Curious if this has gotten lost or just takes time.

Yep I got Jouer samples that way too. Its better to email through the customer service email that they give on the website rather than using the website form. That's the only way that I got a response. Sadly, the LMT in Opal is still too dark for me. It's like instant tan. Too bad, because I would have purchased it otherwise. I'm wondering if the Perfector is the same way (too dark), because I've heard great things about it.

When all was said and done, it took mine about 2 weeks to get them. But we communicated back and forth on a Friday, so she didn't send them out until the following week. It arrived a week after it shipped.

When I had my second account, I basically made that profile for teenage me. I answered for myself but like, 10 years younger. lol.

It actually did make a difference. I ended up with two completely different boxes.

I did not realize they were that big. These are hilarious.

Their customer service is awesome. Sadly my samples were lost or stolen ( I think my neighbor got them and kept them

) When I emailed their CSR again they were great and are resending them on Monday.
