Birchbox: The June Box discussion

[dryadsbubble]

Me too!! June was my second month and I received the Stila liner in May and the Eyeko this month. Who knew?!

 

[PeridotCricket]

This is a question for the people who have already got their boxes and they have the men's cologne and/or the other extra ...

Can you give feedback for the extras?  I really want to be able to review all the products in my box this month.  I felt kinda gypped with the notecard last month.

Last month the notecards kinda ticked me off since they were charging for pack of them, but we could not review them.  Does anyone else feel that Birchbox knew people would not like 1 little notecard as a lifestyle extra and would give negative feedback if they could, so they decided to not offer us that option?

i don't think the feedback options are up for anyone yet if they got their boxes or not. i would assume by the 10th?

Re: Feedback on extras or lifestyle goodies.

The answer is not always. Sometimes you can and sometimes you can't, it boils down to whether or not Birchbox is allowing it for that product.

They might help if someone were to go on vacation and walk around a lot and they forgot to break in their new travel shoes before they left home.  I get a blister every time I get new shoes.  I carry band aids all the time.

Wah wah wah wah

Is Birchbox punishing us all with not feedback options early or post links? Or do you think the sponsored companies didn't like them doing it? I wonder.

I hope I get the same box with the eyeko fat eye stick. I got one last month, in box #7, but I wasnt too crazy about the satin taupe color I got.

I really love my Eyeko Eye Stick but wow did it migrate all over my face last night, it was fine for a few hours but by hour four it started to smudge all over (I have oily skin so that never helps).  I didn't use a shadow primer so I will give that a go today to see if that helps (it should at least). 

   
But man I am really loving Birchbox, I would have never purchased a blue liner (last months Stila) or anything Teal.  Bluey colors really make my eyes pop it seems with my brown eyes, olive skin, and red hair.  Teal is my new favorite color lol.

I'd like the stainiac, but that's about it.  I could probably use the stretch cream, but it's not that exciting.  And hand sanitizer wipes? No thank you. 

Living in NYC and riding the subway

Mind you BUMS live on those trains..well..Hand Sanitizer is a must!  I wouldn't mind at all.

lol, I agree!! If you take public transport, especially in a big city, wipes and sanitizer are the only thing that get me through. I mean...everyone has seen the picture of the lady with the pole people hold on to while standing between her butt cheeks by now, haven't they?? yuck.

I usually get my box 1 day earlier than projected though, so my countdown to Tuesday begins!

No shipping email yet, but I'm surprisingly patient this month. My little box of goodies will be here soon enough. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

My box weighs .598, I hope i'm not getting the same box with the BB Cleanser (hidden in white text) bc I got that LAST MONTH!

 

[Angelalh]

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)

ooh mine is .559 so it might be the same as this one. I really did NOT want the tanning toweletttes! haha. And I actually just purchased the beauty blender cleanser from the BB website (literally got it 2 days ago) so that kind of sucks...but I guess it will be a good backup for when I use up my current one. Excited about everything else! Do you have a picture of this box btw?
