There is a system. They ship the boxes by numbers in waves. So for example, boxes # 4 and 16 might have shipped yesterday, and boxes 9 and 20 might ship today, etc. As to WHY certain people get certain boxes seems to be a mystery. But the shipping is by box number, and they're not necessarily (and very rarely are) in numerical order. So box 22 could go out before box 1 some months. And locations have nothing too do with when your box ships.

Usually the lower box #s go out first (among the first two days of shipping). The later the items ship the higher chance it'll be a higher box #. Usually the lower box #s have been (historically) boxes I never cared for. Doing the lists for the last year I've noticed a trend on box contents and when boxes ship at certain times it'll be certain boxes. Make sense? It makes total sense in my head but not sure if I'm sharing it right.

Lol, no I get what you're saying.  My mom and I both got the last GG BB and they shipped the same day, and we had COMPLETELY different boxes...Loved what I got, but as far as being "worth the money", hers was definitely worth more--she got the one with dior stuff and I got box 9 I think (color club coral color and ojon).

Oooh, I think you said your first box was .4770?  Mine is .4763...I hope it's the same!  I'd actually really like that one.

(Sorry if this general idea posts more than once, I keep getting errors and not seeing my posts.)

I own that mascara. It is really really nice and makes your lashes long I will tell you that. I think bad gal makes them thicker looking but they're real makes them totally va-va voom and i can wear just that mascara and look fab during the day!

 OMG I see they're real by benefit on the new products page. Don't remember seeing that before!! 

I really hope I don't get that Bvulgari perfume. I got that last month in my GG box.

aaand...

I'm really hoping the Stila bronze is a full size, and that I get it! I'm not sure how they could get the liquids separated like that in a foil packet or mini tube, so hopefully yay!

Good point (about what you posted under spoilers) And same here about perfume, although I doubt they'd really give anyone the same thing they got one month before...I know some people have had repeats of stuff but I think it's usually months apart...which still sucks cause you can only review once for points!

This month's box is really starting to excite me...

 

[koolcryyss]

I haven't got my tracking info yet! I'm hoping for the balm stainiac and the band aids... while the full sized stila may be nice, i dont use foundation or bronzer really :/

 

[crazymomma10]

Still no tracking number here. But I cannot help but be excited after my horrible GG box last month I am really looking forward to this month.
I am getting anxious at the same time though I want to know what I am getting haha. So now I wait and jump every time my phone bings with a new email.

 

[Naun-Negotiable]

THAT is adorable! yes please!!

Mine shipped! 

Hoping for the 

Stila Bronzer
but I'm concerned that there seem to be zero hair products this month. Am I missing something. Hair is my splurge and I never get hair products. 

 

[yanelib27]

Good to see lots of ppl want the bronzer so if I get that I will be able to trade it

 

[amberlamps]

There are 7 new hair products:

The official box photos are still not up on Birchbox. I see place holders at certain intervals but no actual June boxes. I've gone up to 1100.jpg and so far nada.

I feel like the cologne is so much worse...at least the bandaids are a lifestyle extra everyone can use, unlike some of their previous lifestyle extras, which depend a lot on personal preference. And it's a full-sized product, which I'd rather have than a tea bag or two. The cologne, however: I am married and my husband would never wear it. Ever. He likes to smell like the soap he uses and that's about it.

 

[zadidoll]

Very true it's just not what I expect for a TRAVEL item since the theme is Jet Set. Ahh well, IF I get it WILL use the items 'cause my daughters are ALWAYS bugging me, "mom do we have Band-Aids?"
