YOU GUYS. I have gotten NO WORK done today because of all this excitement!!! AHHHHH!!!! This is like crack!

 

[Anneke V]

I got my box today! Shipping estimate was for it to arrive June 11 - so it was a nice suprise.

I'm going to go ahead and say what I got because 1) I can't figure out how to post a spoiler and 2) most of this stuff was covered in their video:

1. beautyblender, brush cleanser.

2. Comodynes self-tanning towels (2)

3. Number 4 Super comb and prep (1.45 fl oz - nice size bottle)

4. Staniac

lifestyle: tili bag (seriously - this is a zip lock bag w/ a design printed on it. Would anyone pay $9 for a box of 10 of these?????) I'll use the bag for one of my kid's lunches... Hard to get excited about a ziplock baggie.

The men's cologne - I'll find someone to give it to.

I am actually really happy w/ my box. I know that a lot of prior posters didn't want self-tanner - but I wanted it because I've been using Jergen's tanner occasionally and it stinks so bad I can hardly stand myself. I love hair stuff, so the spray is good. The stainiac is fun, and the brush cleaner is fine (I'll use it - I wash my brushes every time I use them). April was my first box and it was great, May was pretty stinky for me, and I like this month's box. So far so good.

Looking forward to hearing what others got.

How much did your box weigh?

I am pregnant with #2 right now so I would totally love the stretch mark cream! My daughter gave me a few light marks on my lower tummy. but they are pretty much invisible now... I have a feeling I won't be so lucky the second time around though.

I actually think I have stretch marks as one of my skin concerns on one of my profiles, so maybe I will get it?

OMG I have one of these and I love em!  I think I am going to have to get this one cause I don't have this color.

 

[Jazbot]

I haven't received my shipping confirmation as of yet..I hope for the Stila and Sun screen!

I am on the east coast, in Connecticut so the boxes don't have to travel too far to get to me.

OMG thank you for this--I am 34w and have been thinking, "wheeee no stretch marks!" It's so much better to know this now than to all of a sudden get them in a few weeks as a bad surprise.

Really?! Mine's 0.4350, which is SUPER close to yours!! I'm hoping!! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> (And, I guess I'll get over the cologne since it's an extra-extra)

 

[lillybunny]

I have yet to receive a shipping confirmation. Should I be worried? I'd email them, but I already went through that a couple months ago, and they take forever to respond. -.-

Nope Don't worry until after the 10th. They have 29 different boxes come out and they only ship like 2-3 boxes a day it seems. I still haven't received mine as of right now and it's 3:22pm MST.

stainiac is 1.2ml.

scalisi anti-aging moisturizer 5g

men perfume

and bandaid which is super cute

and 2 hand wipes I forgot put into the picture.
 SH*T!  I bet I am getting that box too~!!!  I will use the bandaids, staniac and hand wipes.  The rest will be passed on. 

 

[StillPooh]

I never get a shipping notice before the 10th, but my box usually comes just a day or 2 later. 

I just with my web account would update to June so I could cheat and peek!

Okay well I guess I will wait then. Maybe that just eliminates the type of box I may get!

My birchbox!



Box Goodies:

Comodynes Self Tanning Intensive:  Squee!  I love self tanner I can't wait to try it!!!

Eyeko Fate Eye Stick:  OMG this looks full size and it looks black in the stick but on skin it is a pretty green/teal shade, definitely a color I do not have and will work with my skin tone.

Likewise Facial Moisturizer + Sun Protectant SPF 50 Normal to Oily:  I am an avid user of sunscreen (hence why I am also happy to get self tanner lol) it says it helps mattify which is awesome, totally trying this out tomorrow!

The Balm Stainiac in Beauty Queen:  I love stains of all kinds and I have never tried this one out!  The perfect size to keep in my bag too!

Lifestyle extras:

Tili Bag: a cute little ziplock type bag, definitely an extra I will use.

John Varvatos Star USA: omg I can't wait till hubby gets home so I could test this on him, smells lovely in the bottle

As you can tell I love this box bunches!  I think box #2 will be coming tomorrow, can't wait!
 I want that box!!!!!!!!!

Maybe it is because the Stila is just a packette. Seems more likely than it being full size

Oh that would be evil! We'd get our hopes up for fullsize and it would be a packet!

That's what happened to me too! Not a single mark until 37 weeks, then all of the sudden I woke up one morning and BAM there they were! Luckily I delivered a few days later, so they didn't get much worse, but holy cow it sucks! I thought I was in the clear because I hadn't gotten any and I was already so far along... NOPE! Nature's mean little trick!

I am only 2 months right now, but I am completely expecting to get more ths time around, so pass the stretch mark cream! I have heard really good things about that cream too!
