I got

1) Card for $25 off from Artspace.com-- will probably use

2) Lifestyle gift of Cynthia Rowley Band- Aids-- will probably not use. Largest item in my box by far

3) Ada Cosmetics Bronzer in Peach Bronzer-- I like it

4) Borghese Creme Saponetta Cleansing Bar-- ho hum

5) Sample vial of Bulgari Omnia Crystalline Eau de Toliette Spray-- tiny free sized tester

6) theBalm- Stainiac in Beauty Queen-- very tiny

Kind of indifferent.. Maybe adding the second box sub with a different beauty profile will jazz things up some. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Are they doing Gift Cards now like MyGlam? uurrggghhhh.

As soon as I saw the Stila was an option, that is what I was thinking it would be. I have a kazillion of the one-step packets..

I think the Stila is full size. Saw someone with the FULL SIZE one step bronzer. Check out last pages of the thread.

Same exact weight on mine, and it shipped yesterday, I should receive it June 12th
I have the same weight too. You usually get really good boxes so I'm hopeful

that is true... here's to hoping!

 

[Denise Moya]

My shipping weight is .5060. Has anyone got this yet? I've been looking but don't see anyone.

not  a peep for me /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[heycutiiie0x]

Still no notice!

 

[o0jeany0o]

I got my shipping notice for my main account two days ago and for my second account I have not received a shipping email.

Makes me hopeful I won't get two of the same boxes, yay!

 

[erikalisa55]

Major box envy right now! My box weighed in at .4something so I DOUBT I'll be receiving this box, but I'm hopeful that someone will want to trade away their Stila One Step Bronze(highlight) for something else. A girl can dream, lol. *fingers crossed* Enjoy your new goodies. Well Done BirchBox!

Tilly bag:

(how did they know I JUST redid my room "damask"?!?!)

Por minimizing:

this looks very interesting.... 

Birchbox man:

at first I found this to be very obnoxious that they did this, I don't have my dad and my boyfriend doesn't wear cologne or whatever this is. but then I realized "Sam shut up" and I think its just an extra. 

Stila one step bronzer

I LOVE everything and anything bronzer and this makes up for no bandages!

Tanning packets:

Ditto to what I said above.

Lip Stain:

I never ever ever buy lipstick or lipgloss or anything for that matter that GOES on my lips so it's always nice to recieve these and it's a pretty red.
Overall, I must say I am very happy with BB this month. It just makes it that much more frustrating because I was going to either cancel BB or Myglam because I just started glossybox! UGH FRUSTRATING /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 

oh BTW my weight was: .6050

EDIT: I JUST DIED finding out the stila product is $36!!!! and I got a full size product too!

I love this thread. I obsess over my Birchbox all month and I don't know anyone else who subscribes so no one understands!

This is serious stuff.

Haha same here!!!

Just got my box even though the delivery date was supposed to be the 11th! My box weighed .480 lbs and I think it's one of the lower valued boxes but I know I'll use everything in it! 

Apothoderm Stretch Mark Cream Clean Well Hand Sanitizing Wipes (not crazy about these) Scalasi Anti-Aging Moisturizer SPF 30 Stainiac in Beauty Queen ( this was the one product that I REALLY wanted) Extras: Cynthia Rowley Band-Aids that men's cologne  
ETA: My profile says that I'd splurge on a skincare item and I would be interested in products for stretch marks. I also said that I'm interested in classic and low maintenance make up items so I'd say that my box matched my profile pretty well this month. Also, I said I'm south east Asian and my skin color is light....but I think just putting that I'm SE Asian disqualified me for any tanning/bronzing products lol

 

[CarmenVF]

yayyyyyyyyyyy.

Congrats on getting some great items. . I'd be super excited if that were my box. Crossing fingers that I get a shipping notification soon.

 

[Sophielove83]

It would make my day if I got the Eyeko Fat Eye since I'm running low on black eyeliner! 

There's a unboxing for a 0.4870 box on youtube if anyone hasn't seen it. I want those Bandaid! So cute! 

 

 

[randerso]

Ugh, I didn't think I would say this, but I am getting close to cancelling my BB. March was great, but my boxes have been going progressively downhill ever since. April was a lip balm, bunch of little packets, and a firming cream (I am 26!). May was a mini shampoo, a gold nail polish, an eye cream (I AM 26!) and a mostly empty bottle of Dr. Jart. I didn't get the revolution beauty balm, the stila liner, the mascara, the eyeko stick, NOTHING fun in the last few months.

I am overdue for some nice cosmetics! I reeeeally want a bronzer, self tanner, or the eyeko stick. But my box weight is 0.4610 so I think a full size stila bronzer is very doubtful. Le sigh. At least they seem to be putting the stainiac in every box, I already own it but I wouldn't mind getting more, I can add pigments and food coloring to play with the shade.

TL;DR: If I get a box full of anti-aging skincare packets and handwipes I am going to the anti-BB camp!

Hey girls! So, I got two of the same (awesome) box! I could trade the items individually, but I was wondering if anyone would be willing to try and swap boxes, or even my whole box for a full-sized item.

The box contains...

Comodynes Self-Tanning Intensive (2 sheets)
Eyeko Fat Eye Stick (FULL SIZE!!)
Likewise Facial Moisturizer (5 mL)
theBalm Stainiac in Beauty Queen (1.2 mL)

tili Bag

John Varvatos Star USA - Though if you don't want it, I'd give it to my brother.
Please PM me if you're interested! I don't mind a few repeats in another box, I just want SOME different things. =)

What was the weight of your box?

Nope. The website no longer says boxes are shipped "by the 10th" anymore. It has been changed to state "around the 10th."

Wait, wait, wait. Someone got a gift card for $25 off from Artspace.com? That's BS. It essentially FORCES you to spend money somewhere else, and items are probably over $25.

As long as I don't get that, I'll be happy, I think. It looks like everyone is getting some kind of makeup item. Not super excited about self-tanning wipes because my skin doesn't like those, but I'll deal with that if I get them.

 

[koolcryyss]

If i get the stila bronzer i would definitely trade for the eyeko stick and the stainiac!

I just realized that I got that in my box too. Maybe everyone gets one of those? It wasn't on my description card from BB and maybe they're trying to get people to know that the site exists. I looked at the site a little though and you're right the stuff is mostly/all over $25.
