I have 2 boxes, and they are so far, totally different. Yay!  In fact, one month, I got a day cream in one and a night cream in the other, lol. Perfect!

I have seen ppl post that they got identical boxes, though.

Got my email at about 7:40 pm EST and I am so excited. Haven't checked tracking yet BUT it never wants to work for me.

Just got 2 shipping notices--0.4810 for both.  Guess I got 2 of the same box.  Fingers crossed that they're good ones!!  Or my bestie is going to be getting a nice gift from me.

wooh got my shipping confirmation just now! i never get it this early. no weight yet though.

birchbox commented on their post on facebook after a lot of people complained about the mens cologne:

"Just to clarify, the John Varvatos cologne sample is an extra this month and meant to give you a taste of our Birchbox Man subscription. It's in addition to your 4-5 beauty samples—not in place of them! Give it to a lucky guy friend or family member—or try wearing it yourself "

if i can review it, with my man's input, then maybe it can make up for getting gipped with only 4 reviewable products last month (though i feel like it would still suck to get 4 items + the cologne).

I got duplicate boxes last month, and I had specifically tried to make the profiles different enough to get different boxes.  No such luck.  On the up side, at least one of the duplicate items was the Algenist face cream.  I think one of them was worth both boxes put together.  I left the profiles the same this month because I figured they would have more variations, which would increase my chances of not getting the same things again.

My shipping notice just came through!  0.570.  Hopefully it's not the barrette

 I sure didn't see any of the BB team wearing them in the video and I'm pretty sure I would have noticed, Lol!

 

[MyriadVoices]

I can't remember for the life of me (and I don't want to go searching), but is the "lifestyle extra" always the same (with minor variation) in everyone's box? My first box's lifestyle extra was the TeaForté teas (yay!), and I can't remember what the April one was... but last month was the notecards, of course. If they are all the same, then we will all be getting that John Varvatos men's cologne sample, I would assume.

I know in April's box I got the Hollywood Fashion Tape and last month it was the notecard with everyone else.
I think in April it varied from Tea to Laundry Deterg.

 

[onematchfire]

My shipping notice arrived as well. Weight is 0.4825, and it's supposed to arrive 6/11. I suspect it will be earlier, since it's already in Ohio, but we'll see.

Oh, yeah, the laundry detergent, that's right. So I guess it can be different for everyone. Thanks for reminding me!

lol @ that face >>>

That freakin' barrette looks as big as my forearm! Since it's a Jet Set theme... that barrette can double as a rudder or a floatation device!

Just got my shipping confirmation too-- according to USPS the weight is .5710. I don't have anything I wouldn't want (I think hubby would try the cologne out), I am just hoping to not get the bottom of the barrel box again /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I have been a member since March, and haven't been blown away with my own box yet. I have box envy for many others though! After getting the Glossybox USA box this month, it will take alot to please me as much, even if GB is $21! I liked everything I got in the GB, absolutely worth double to me if I keep getting BB duds. 

Time will tell! I can't wait to get the BB this month!! (I would even play with the weird hair clip!)

ditto. and we've been able to give feedback for other "lifestyle" items... :/

Its always nice to get that 10 points for the lifestyle items!

I dont remeber where I heard this but I heard that the reason we couldnt give feedback for the cards was because they are not a branded product - that Birchbox had them printed themselves, and that Birchbox shares our feedback on all the products we sample with the companies that supply the samples and they give the points as incentive to leave feedback.  Whatever the reason, I still think they should have been consistent and given us the points for feedback!

actually i think they gave out the tea in march (in the boxes that weren't teen vogue) and the detergent in april, but i might be wrong. i just don't remember anyone getting tea in april.

this leads me to believe everyone except the welcome boxes gets the same lifestyle extra, but like i said i might be wrong!

Wait I think I read somewhere on here that the July box will be associated with Allure?

Hm, now that would make sense. Thanks for that information. Now I don't feel so pissy. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Maybe my lifestyle extra for April was the Yes! to Blueberries facial wipes. Was that an "extra"? If so, that was mine. I consider that a beauty product, so I hadn't associated it as an extra.
