Birchbox: The June Box discussion

[snllama]

Honestly, the only thing that I am worried about is NOT being able to review the lifestyle extras like what happened last month with the freaking note cards.

That really irked me. Especially since we were able to buy them. And I really liked the cards. It would have been nice to have a place to say it.

Ugh, worried I won't be enjoying my box too much this month!

I already have Benetint and Posietint, so I wouldn't really need the lip/cheek stain.

The lifestyle extra is okay, maybe I'll give the bag to my mom.

And I don't know how my casper white skin would deal with self tanners, yikes!

Not even going to mention the mens cologne...

I guess we'll just have to see if BB delivers, 40 products so there's a good chance it won't be most of that stuff! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

does anyone know if the stila one step bronze in the video is the same thing as this

because i had that show up in my "feedback" last week before they got rid of the feedback glitch.

That has happened to me more than once, where I dont get any of the items they featured in that month's video. So dont lose hope /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I love the miracle skin transformer! I mix a dab in with my regular foundation and it really makes your skin look dewy and fabulous. I'm hoping they offer a descent tinted moisturizer w/ SPF or maybe some water-proof make-up, something fun at least. I have an unshakable bad feeling about this box, though.

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.

I would be really happy if I got the self tanner, I've been with Birchbox for 2 months I got the welcome box and then Box 11 (I was pretty upset), so this will be kind of a deciding month for me.

 I'm in the same boat as you! Expired Befine moisturizer in the welcome box (I got 100 points for that mistake so that wasn't too bad), then an empty Dr. Jart tube in the GG box (not to mention the hairtie that is basically a pink piece of elastic tied in a knot). I saw the spoiler thread for the July box but I don't know... I'm just getting more and more disappointed and am almost at the point of cashing in my points and being done with it. I agree though, this will be the deciding month for me.

I think that is supposed to be more of an illuminator..like the benefit high beam

oh god, I was so pissed. My fiance was like, why did they even send them? Why are you paying for a piece of thin note card with nothing inside of it? I pay 10 a month for you to get this and they send that?

(I am a stay at home mom so it's something special just for me that he buys me!)

I was shipped two tubes of dr. jart to replace one tube. The hair band? Useless. I have super thick long hair past the middle of my back..even with a ponytail and the headband wouldn't even control my hair. I was so disappointed. But, I am not going to cancel because I LOVE the whole theme of the boxes but lacking in makeup samples. So, hopefully this month definitely shows me how awesome they are.

do you get Glossybox? Seems like ALmost everyone was happy with this months box /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Just an idea if you decide BB doesnt work for you.. and I think the last box was worth like 48.00

 I get Glossybox and just signed up for Sample Society. Glossybox is my holy grail sub, LOL! The sizes in SS look bigger but just not sure at the moment. I'll stick it out a bit longer with BB... I am happy with most of the products I've gotten and I don't want to let a couple of things here and there ruin the experience for me, LOL!

 

[MissLindaJean]

Sample Society will provide better sizes, but not more makeup.. Seems like they are trying to introduce makeup items, but mostly great sizes on hair and skin care.

Agreed. Definitely the best sub for hair and skin care.

 

[MissLindaJean]

I love all my subs, except for Julep lol. Birchbox is great(has been my experience) and I've enjoyed all my boxes so far. I feel like I can't get too upset because I'm shelling out $10, which is fairly cheap to me. I spend waaay more money in Sephora buying trial size items/packs. I've got two accounts and received different boxes with great items in them last month. If the items won't be used by me, they can be gifted, traded, or sold. Plus a point system? Makes me want to shell out my money, because I feel like I can get some kind of discount, especially if I combine with the promo codes. We need to remember, it's not that we can't use the items, it's that we won't/don't want to, in regards to skin chemistry, personal preference or whatever!

I have been signed up with Glossybox for the last 2 months! I STILL have not been able to get one! Both months look so great!

Yay! Just got my shipping notice!
