Birchbox: The June Box discussion

[mega789]

Boohoo kept my 2nd account and now I have 2 shipping notices with the same weight /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

0.6060 Ibs

I wish BB would see it's the same address/name and send unique boxes. Would be nice wouldn't it?

Weight (lbs.):
0.4530

delivery by tuesday.

Mines just about as light as yours, 0.4560 with the same delivery date. I find that there delivery projection dates are never accurate.  I'll probably have mine by Saturday. This might be the first box I get without knowing whats in it before hand.

A friend told me about them five or six years ago.  The best part about the Gaiman stuff aside from the scents themselves:  Those are actually fund-raising scents for the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund.  There are also a few that are fundraisers for the Hero Initiative, which works to help provide healthcare for comic book artists since they rarely have health insurance.  There are frequent random fundraising collections, like the one based on Klimt paintings and that sent the proceeds to RAINN.  Personally, I finally took the plunge when I discovered their _Alice in Wonderland_ collection, but now they also have an RPG line, a steampunk line, and much more.  Oh, and they just launched a _Fraggle Rock_ collection, too.

(If you want some help going through their catalogue, just let me know! I'm an old hand over there, and I might even be able to put together a starter kit, depending on what you're interested in.)

I haven't got my shipping notice yet and never received a shipping norice last month. I hope this isn't a pattern. They sure dont have a problem finding my inbox when they want to send an email trying to get me to buy someing.

    No shipping notice for me yet either...but being in Ohio, I usually receive mine later than many others.

My shipping info updated this morning! box weight is 0.4785 and it's scheduled to get here Tuesday! Can't wait! (I think last time they told me Tuesday and it arrived Friday- but that was my first delievery so maybe they padded the numbers a bit?

The weight of my box is .4560. I'm nervous. I bet I got that stupid men's cologne.

none here either and i'm just across the river from their freakin warehouse

WOOOOHOOOO new items under shopping is up to 5 pages! the mens cologne is on the first page and i do NOT have a feedback button for it! lol

 

[TheNittyPretty]

I just had a thought. If you get the men's cologne... and actually like the smell, maybe you can sew together a little sachet or make a homemade air freshener for the car and dot that on it. Just an idea since I know car air fresheners come in men's cologne fragrances such as Drakkar Noir and Cool Water. If I get it and think it smells pretty good (but not something I'd wear since I'm too girly, lol!), then I may just use it for my car.

My box weighs .4470. The estimated delivery date is the 12th but I think it will be here Saturday /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[Mandy Kane]

They must be updating the shop right now because it just went from 5 pages back to 4 but they have a lot of new stuff! I don't have feedback for anyhting right now... oh crap i wasn't logged in. i might have the mens colonge after all!

update:

so they must be adding stuff because the shop is all screwy. all the items from the spoiler are in the shop now. I don't have feedback for any of them. some of the pages in the shop have repeat items listed. and when you are on page 1 2 or 3 it says there are 5 total pages, but once you get to page 4 the link for page 5 dissapears. 

hurray for stalking their site, lol!

Yep, I'm pretty sure it is, here's the quote from their website: "Beauty junkies, this one's for you. To celebrate our Five Senses of Summer giveaway, Glamour has partnered with Birchbox, a subscription service that delivers a package of surprise luxe beauty samples to your door each month. (Our July boxes will feature favorites from Stila, Oscar de la Renta, Boscia, and more)"

 Funny....Stila, Oscar and Boscia have been in the most recent SS boxes....

Allure and Glamour are sister magazines at Conde Nast so they may have similar relationships with the cosmetic companies.

This will only be my second month with birchbox... Have they given out the Eyeko Skinny Liquid Eyeliners before? I see them in the "New" section. I'd love to try it in the olive color!

They had the eyeko fat eye sticks or w/e last month. They probably just have the skinny liquid liners up because they featured the brand last month.

 I just wonder if we are going to get repeat items.
