A week ago when I tested out the feedback option, I was thrilled with all the amazing products I might be receiving in June box. Then I finally saw the June sneak peak video and I'm slightly disappointed because they were completely different products. I guess you can't trust what you'll be getting base on the feedback option until they start shipping them out.

Yea if you read a couple pages back there is a BB "Spy"

And they disabled any spoilers from us all!

Hi all!  Been lurking for a while and thought I would join.  Been with Birchbox for about 10-11 months and discovered MakeupTalk while googling for some info.  Anywho....can't wait to see what I might get this month.  FWIW I haven't gotten a shipping confirmation since December so I never know when it may show up.

Hi.  I'm new here.  I just wanted to say I just received my June Birchbox.  I'm a little bit on the fence about this box.  Especially since one of my samples is only half full

What wars in it! Can't tease people! Welcome aboard and put it in a spoiler, please!

Are you sure it is a June box? If it is a Gossip Girl theme then it was May. We are just beginning to receive shipping notices for June.

 

[MissLindaJean]

Wonder if they sent you a welcome box; what else did they send? You should email and let BB know your sample was partially filled.

If you do get it and like the scent of it, but not for your own wear, if it has a sprayer, you could always use it as a room spray /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

good idea!

One of the reasons I was excited to sub to BB was because of all the positive comments about their customer service, but every time I have an issue (3 so far), it takes 2+ weeks for them to contact/fix the situation. Oh well, I still enjoy my boxes and the price/points factor, but if it comes down to me having to cancel any sub, I see them being the first to go for this reason.

My box weighed .484.  This is what I got.

(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.)

You are awesome! I have some friends who recently opened a comic/games shop (it is awesome, and I'm not even into comics!), and this would be something I'm sure they would like, too! I'm loving some of the descriptions. I love Klimt, and one of my best friends is obsessed with steampunk! Whee! Treasure trove! Thank you!
