Birchbox: The June Box discussion

[lillybunny]

The men's cologne looks like a leftover. Seriously, that is awful. My account says women's subscription for a reason, and I would have nobody to give it to.

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!

I am not lucky at all. I have stretch marks all over my belly, looks like a tiger scratched me from about an inch above my belly button all the way down. I also have them on my hips and chest /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> . But it's genetics and I would do it again for my son! Anyways I kinda hope I get it maybe it will tone down some of these stretch marks.

I REALLY don't want any stretch cream.... what is a 16 year old going to do with stretch cream lol

I have a feeling I won't be lucky this time. I don't know why, I just have a bad feeling. I guess at least if I expect it I won't be so disappointed when I get them. Don't worry mamma! Those are our mommy badges

 .... that said, I would like to make my badges a little less noticeable lol.

On another note, I am wondering if they are going to be sending the sunless tanner to everyone who is listed as fair, because they said in the spoiler video that they worked well for fair skinned ladies...

I will be putting them up for trade though. I just end up looking funny when I put sunless tanner on.

I actually can not ever remember me being tan.

Beauty Blender Cleanser

Self Tanning wipes (2)

Number 4 Super Comb Prep and Protect(leave in treatment for hair)

theBalm Stainic in Beauty Queen(red stain for cheeks and lips, similar to Benetint by Benefit)
Tili Bag(basically a pretty printed ziplock bag to put all your travel items in)

John Varvatos Star USA cologne(it's to promote BB man)

 

[zorabell]

I wonder why they are still sending out the

beauty blender cleanser?

I am full German, and I am WHITE. I don't have strong pink or yellow undertone in my skin, it's just... very white. Everytime I have tried to use sunless tanner it looks orange or like I am dirty, even if I exfoliate really well before hand.

Not to mention... I already have all of my foundations/powder/concealer matched perfectly to my skin and I don't really use bronzer, so I don't want to have to find new make up to match the color the tanner would make me. If I used bronzer I *might* be able to get away with it, but I don't.

Too much up keep anyway...  Someone will love it and gladly trade though! That's why I love the trade board!

Just got my shipping notices at 3 this afternoon. No weight listed yet! Anyone else get a notice today?

 

[KatiebuglovesBB]

YAYYYY my box came today for my second account. No notice for my second account just yet I haven't checked this thread in a while, but i think i got the same box as everyone else so far but I LOVE it. if you include the $25.00 off coupon and the men's item (I won't describe here since this isn't in a spoiler box yet) then  it's technically 7 items, 6 of which should be able to be reviewed! nice comeback, BB, and i haven't even received my other box yet!

Here's my box:

Theme: Jet Set (They all may be Jet Set, though).





In case you can't read the card:

1) Apothederm Stretch Mark Cream - SOOOOOOOO happy to get this. I've been lusting after it but can't seem to justify $89.95 just yet. I did trade someone here for it when BB sampled it a few months ago, however, it was a partially filled bottle, much like the Dr. Jart, so i didn't get many uses, but this one is completely filled!!! .7 oz/20 G. There's a lot to use! THRILLED

2) CleanWell Hand Sanitizing Wipes (2) - Not really a beauty product, but i will most definitely carry them in my purse or use them at work after using the phones or copier. Cool idea.

3) Scalist Skincare Anti-Aging Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 30 -  I'm only 20, but love SPF Moisturizers and i always uses anti-aging products as a preventative measure. Will definitely use this. .2 oz/5g

4) theBalm cosmetics Stainiac in Beauty Queen - small sample (1.2 ML/0.04 FL oz) BUT this will still last me months. I am really into the idea of stains ever since the Revolution Beauty Balm came in my sis's box and she gave to me (not necessarily a stain, but similar idea). I'm happy to get this product, especially having oily skin, this is way less scary the the Revolutions creamy consistency.

5) (Life Style Extra) BAND-AID Cynthia Rowley Dress Up Band-Aids - they may just be band aids, but hey, this is full size! ($15.00 for 20) I love 'fancy' or decorative band aids, so i will use these. I was sooo ecstatic when someone at my work (law firm) bought disney princess band aids  as a joke hahaha. yes i'm stuck in my childhood.

6) (Birchbox Man Extra) John Varvatos Star USA - Yes this is a leftover from the June men boxes, but they are including it in this box as a small Father's day gift. I'm HAPPY to receive it as my boyfriend got it in his June box and he loves the scent. WIN!

7) (if you count this as a product/extra): a $25.00 off a first purchase with Artspace, a website who sells art from around the world. Definitely a cool idea but i really don't have the money or want to spend on art right now.

The inside of the shipping box had cute little pictures of what are supposed to be post cards stampings. Even the Product card was made to resemble a post card. Extra cute.
Considering i just found out I have to spend around a thousand dollars of my September Key West vacation money to fix things on my beloved Volkswagen bug, this really cheered me up today. I love everything i got and can't wait to see my other subs box. Birchbox has really redeemed themselves in my eyes in leui of all of the recent issues each month. I am veeeery satisfied. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I got my shipping email today, but it hasnt updated, so no weight yet.

This is my 6th month with Birchbox, and the first time I have gotten a shipping notice before the 10th.  I always get great boxes with the "most wanted" product of that month, so my luck has probably run out.  I wont complain though.  I love getting any type of skin care, hair care, grooming and makeup, so I'm always pleased no matter whats in the box.  I did recieve one box (February) that I wasnt too happy with initially, but after I tried the products, I fell in love with all of them, and bought the full sizes of all of them.  It turned out to be one of my favorite boxes!  The only thing i have seen this month that I really dont care to recieve is the band aids.

Sorry to hear about your car problems.  I know how that is!

That looks like a really good box!  I didnt realize the band aids were the lifestyle extra.  The Staniac looks like a great product, but I loved the Revolution blush.  I have really dry skin though. 

 

[Steffi]

If anyone doesn't want their bandaids I'd gladly take them.  LOL.  They'd get a LOT of use in my household.

 

[mishtastic]

My box weight is .4470 so I'm hoping I get the box that Lilith McKee got since hers was .438 or something ... even though I'm already tan I could use the other items in the box.

It says it's supposed to be here Monday, but with any luck I'll get it tomorrow or Saturday! My whole day at work was wasted looking at this thread. Seriously ladies, please keep posting your pictures. It's so exciting to see what everyone got!

 

[emc818]

What was the weight of your box?

 

[LahDiDah]

This month will be my first BB. I hope I don't get a welcome box because they don't sound so appealing. I really want that stain & eyeko pencil.

 

[Britvb12]

I got this box as well and the weight was 0.5650

Beauty Blender Cleanser

Self Tanning wipes (2)

Number 4 Super Comb Prep and Protect(leave in treatment for hair)
