Birchbox: The June Box discussion

[erikalisa55]

The weight of my BB is .4454 and is scheduled to be delivered on June 12th. I receive the email from BB yesterday. Any of the boxes matching that weight? (I'm too lazy to dig through the thread right now, please don't judge me. Lol

Mine is the same weight so it looks like we are getting the same box, hopefully it is an awesome box. So far my box hasn't left the east coast yet has yours?

Looks like we are box triplets! My weight is .458 with projected delivery date of 6/12 to the West Coast! Hopefully it's a good box!

I guess this my box, it shipped yesterday with a weight of .5700 

If I get 2 of these boxes (which is what it looks like), the entire thing will go up for swap

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!

We are box twins! I'm hoping I get the same box also.

[lovepink]

This is my box weight too!  If that is the one I am getting I'm excited about the 4th item the others meh.  Will cross my fingers I get the CR BA!  How sad I would be excited for those if not my My Glam has shipped so......

I would be super excited to get items #1,3, and 4 that you named.

Not so much for item #2 and 6, but I'd be so happy with the others that it would make up for it.

Actually, you'll probably be surprised, but no.  Julep as a company made me kind of leery with their issues(big ones) in the beginning, plus I've heard it's really hard to cancel.  Plus most of their colors are meh, and I'm not keen on the bottle shape/how much you get.  I wish there was other nail polish subs out there though, I'd likely sign up in a heartbeat.lol.  Not like I -need- more (I'm at over 500 bottles and about ten more coming. Yeah.)...but..pretty colors!

 

[Meggpi]

Mine shipped yesterday with a weight of .5050, for anyone who its keeping track of that

 

[snllama]

oooh I saw those bandaids at CVS and wanted to buy them just because I loved the prints. I hope I get them!

And my box has still not updated its shipping!!! I'm so sick of this game. I bet it didn't ship yet like the last two months.

 

[yanelib27]

Although those band aids are hella cute, I cant remember the last time I needed to use one so I really hope I dont get them. I dont really see the point of them being in a box with a jet setter theme.. am I missing something?

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" />

oops, i forgot to post my weight! .4730... also... I was just grocery shopping at Walmart and ALL of the special edition BAND AIDS (Kermit the frog, Disney, etc.) 20 counts were $2.97. I know Walmart is cheap, but really? $15.00 for bandages sponsored by a model? how ridiculous.

 

[HelloLeilani]

Well, my glam bag shipped, I'm still waiting on my BB shipping email. 

 

[zombielovrr]

Mine hasn't shipped either. =/ And I got no "give feedback" options on anything.

I always always pack Band-Aids (my Hello Kitty ones) with me in my carry on when I travel. Heck, I even carry some with me at all times in my purse, just in case I stub my toe or something, which I've been known to do. lol. I really hope I get them, but, since I haven't even got my shipping info yet, I doubt I am.

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. 

Thanks for the sympathy. luckily i can still drive it, but it needs the whole sha-bang in terms of Timing Belt and Water pump (Turbo Engine) which means big $$$$ but i need it since i'm @ 80,000 or else it could end up costing a whole lot more...then i have issues i have been ignoring with a coolant temp sensor that tells me my coolant is too hot/too cold when it;s fine, AND a oil pressure light that flashes and beeps when i stop my car /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />...yeah Turbo bugs are great, but all Turbo models around 2001-2006 are known to have these issues due to a crappy temp sensor.  i'm very lucky that my bosses husband works on VW's/Audi's and is helping me big time, but it will still cost a lot given the VW dealership wants to charge me $3000.00.

back to the box...yes it is awesome and i am thrilled... i do wish i would have received the tanning wipes instead of the hand sanitizer wipes, but maybe someone will want to trade OR i will get those in my 2nd box. we'll see!

I cancelled my Julep account about a month ago.  I was so surprised how easy it was.  I called said I wanted to cancel, was asked why and then the CS rep said okay, you are all cancelled.

I've never done Birchbox before, and I'm super excited for my first box! I'm a little bummed about the Band-Aids, I am allergic to adhesive. I wish there was some kind of allergy section in the profile otherwise I'm going to end up with a pile of unusable fashion tape and stick-on eyeliners /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

At least anything with adhesive would usually be an "extra." Heck, even I still have those stick-on eyeliners at the verrrry bottom of my train case. ; )
