Yea I agree...what I did before with Zadidoll's Sneak Peaks was memorize the page it was on..it's easier to click a page then read a million different threads.

I'm stoked to get sunscreen type things, and I'm no sun worshiper.  Most of us can't sleep all day, and daily SPF is probably the best way to keep your skin young, more so than 90 dollar anti-aging creams.

Same here..am not going look at a million different threads.. Sometimes the conversations can get lost on these larger threads, but I do like the speculation and jumping between topics lol. I like to read what others think of their boxes and samples received and don't want to jump through 20+ threads every month for that...rather remember pages lol.

I'll start to keep the sneak peeks in it's own thread from here on out and the discussions in another thread so it's easier to find.

 

[kawaiimeows]

have we had to wait this long to find images of the box variations for the month? it seems like it's taking forever! or maybe that's because we got our boxes so early last month..

 

[MissLindaJean]

Thanks for the seperate thread on the spoilers...that's alot of variations on the box..is that normal to have that many? I wonder how many items will be most commonly found in the boxes...wish BB would hurry and release..I'm getting antsy trying to figure it out lol!

The discussion began early due to a glitch on the Birchbox site leading many to speculate the items they were getting was accurate. It turned out to be a glitch. That's why it seems like it's taking forever, this is actually more normal.

Is it that normal to have that many? Yes, and more. There have been months where the box variations have been over 30 box combinations but on average it's more around 20.

 

[MissLindaJean]

30 box variations??? Oh my..it's only my 3rd month with BB..LOL, I can see why people get so upset with the different valuations between boxes now. I have been lucky enough to enjoy all my boxes and got a second account due to the GG boxes last month.

Think the idea of separate threads is not good. Too convoluted. Also, the thread that says June spoilers that lists all the boxes cannot be opened.  The links don't open.

They aren't up yet, those are birchboxes place holders, where they will have images of the boxes when they are ready.

I've decided to adopt a new Birchbox attitude. I was all set to cancel in March after the Teen Vogue fiasco, and then got the exact boxes I really wanted in April and May. Although I know my luck can't hold out forever, I've decided to just take each box as it comes, and to try and keep my box envy in check. Although I've had my share of yucky boxes (March!), I've also discovered some great products - Jouer Luminizing Tint, Origins Checks and Balances, Orofluido, and the *amazing* One Love Organics Skin Savior.  I think I'm in the minority about the make up products - I'm perfectly happy with getting them every couple of months, because the ones I've gotten have been pretty great. 

And really, it's only $10 a month, of which I get an average of $5 back in bonus points. So I guess as long as Birchbox keeps the point system intact, I'll be sticking around. With my fingers crossed.

Brilliant--thanks for taking care of us, Zadidoll!

Yup, just keep checking, they should be up any day now.

This.

Sure, sometimes my boxes are bad, but I have also gotten some of the high value boxes. For basically $5 a box, I couldn't ask for more.

Once more info becomes available I'll be updating that list. Right now the pages are 404ing which means those pages are missing. If the page doesn't 404 and instead redirects it tends to mean they haven't begun to update their site. 404 pages normally aren't pages you want to see but in Birchbox's case it is since it acts like a placeholder which is how I can determine approximately how many boxes there will be (and sometimes there are more but the pages won't 404 at the time I'm page hunting).

The images are still not up, least not as of early this morning. Since it's the 4th the images should be up any day now and from there I can determine products being sent OR if the pages stop 404ing I can add products listed from Birchbox. It's basically a waiting game right now when it comes to the June sneak peek. It's coming but it's not here yet.

I'm actually really hoping for some summery stuff myself. I would love some of that texturizing mist. I however hope I don't get another lipbalm. I really enjoy the Tarte, LipFusion and Pangea products I got, but that's 3 in a row... not to mention I got the Sephora birthday gift. enough for me.

That being said I've really enjoyed my Birchboxes so far! I'm super antsy to see what they have in store for us this month. Should be any day now!

What's the feedback method? Sorry, I'm a newbie to the forum!

 

[yanelib27]

Im not hoping for anything in particular.. BB sends me lots of great products and anything that I dont like I can just trade /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 

 

[lovepink]

Wish they would update the new products so we can speculate!

If you are a Birchbox subscriber you can go to the Birchbox website and log in.  Under "new products"  you might see a "give feedback" box next to certain items.  These marked items are the ones likely to appear in your upcoming box, giving you a cheater sneak at what you will soon receive.
