Birchbox: The June Box discussion

[karenX]

Did some searches on the site for some of the video products. They haven't been added yet.

I'm also now getting a "down for maintenance" message.

 

[karenX]

Btw, for those of you upset about the socks - I'm 100% sure that no one is actually getting socks. I think she was just saying it's nice to have a good pair for travelling. lol

My guy has BBM already to and I can't give my dad a tiny sample he would be like um okay...lol I made a sample basket for Mother's day last month..but that is not my thoughts for Fathers Day this month.

I'm married, but I still wouldn't want a man's product in MY BB, even if my husband wore cologne. Which he doesn't.  If I got that in my June BB, I guess I'd give it to my close by son in law.  

I think BB will get a lot of flack over this, and they should!

Curious.  Tried feedback, but didn't come up with anything.  But there are some nice products in the shop...

I'd be thrilled if Dr. Gross wipes, Korres body butter, Kerastase, Shu Uemura were in boxes.  Otherwise, I don't want sunscreen or stuff for beach since I don't go to the beach in 100 degree Florida! lol. 
Do you think those are in boxes or just in the shop?

 

[JessP]

I'm actually super-excited for these two products and I hope I'm lucky enough to get both!

- Melvita Rosewater spray

- Cute socks - think of them as a fun accessory! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[brandyboop]

I just got my shipping confirmation.  I don't have a weight, though.

Maybe you're right. I still think it could be a possibility; I'm just not sure how I feel about it. I like socks, but I haven't decided whether I'd be happy about them in my box. Honestly, I'm always happy with my box, even when I got neon nail polish (and I'm anti-neon), so I'd probably love them, but it's not the most exciting idea to me.

ETA: I'm in agreement with many of you about self-tanner. I'd rather receive socks than self-tanner in any form. The leopard print was cute. Make them fuzzy socks or slipper socks with a grippy bottom, and I'm thrilled.

Yeah, I honestly wouldn't mind. I don't think they're an item, though. She placed them behind her, rather than on the table - and didn't name a brand.

Hell, I'd rather have socks than men's cologne!

 

[MissLindaJean]

Those items are just in the shop...I think most of those have gone out in previous boxes...like last month with the last two products.

Yep, the socks got tossed behind lol..but they specified the baggies. I'd rather have the socks or cologne than baggies..I have enough tupperware/plasticware and don't need more lol.

I'm curious as to how big that sample will really be.  It looked TINY in the video.
It did look small, but it's definitely the kind of product you don't need a lot of for each use.


Yep, I have the full size and a single little dab suffices!

I saw a post on facebook from BB about Lindsay Lohan playing Liz Taylor and I was curious to see the picture.  When I clicked on the link, there was a spoiler alert!, sneak peek.

Or.. it's in the blog of BB!

Just thought I'd share ;]

 

[yousoldtheworld]

I don't think the socks are an item, since she didn't mention a brand or anything about them, but I wish they were - I love crazy socks. lol. Why the heck do they think I want plastic baggies...

 

[MissLindaJean]

Agreed!

It's also in the video. The video shows the sample size being sent out. What's posted in the blog is the full size (0.3 oz). No idea what the sample size is.

As far as extras go, I'm not sure I'm capable of being disappointed anymore.

After receiving those stupid lash cards last year, I don't think my expectations could get any lower!

Square of cardboard! Awesome! 

 

[peebeenjay]

i think they look more like a sturdier vinyl type bag from the video. if they're plastic like ziploc then i don't want them but if they are travel size vinyl re-usable bags for travel then i am all for it. i try not to waste plastic bags for "green" reasons and anything that can be easily re-used i am into! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

..or those stupid coasters they sent out.  I didn't get the lash cards, but I got those bleeping coasters.

The extras never bother me because...they're extras. They're never really beauty items, so I don't expect them to be. I'd love to get some crazy socks, just because I always need new socks. Baggies aren't the most glam item, but I can always use more.

LOL! I was pretty mad about those, too. They beat the lash card, though. 

The ugly coasters are currently out on our screened patio, keeping beer rings from forming on our nice cedar table.
