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.

They did that for modcloth in March as well. It was actually just a coupon code. It doesn't bother me to receive those in my box but it should not considered a "box item."

 Also, I don't see what a GC to artspace has to do with beauty or jetsetting!

 As long as it's not considered one of the items that'd be fine, but if it's in place of an item that kinda sucks

What was the weight of your box?

.320 and .260 respectively. No idea why there was such a big difference.

Also, I didn't get the coupon, so I wouldn't worry. Maybe it's for people who didn't get the men's product?

Hi, 

I'm new here but have been a Birchbox subscriber for about 4 months now. Love lurking around and seeing what other people got! Anyway got my box today, contents as follows! 

BeautyBlender BenderCleanser- small bottle of makeup and brush cleaner. 

  Self Tanning Wipes - not a huge fan of these, would love to trade for some a Tili bag!   Coola Cucumber Matte Mineral Face SPF 30 - I'm always searching for the perfect sunscreen for my face, so appreciate this. It's tiny though!    Joer Luminizing Moisture Tint - Super teeny tiny! But something I'm interested in trying.    theBalm Staniac in Beauty Queen - also tiny but it seems a little goes a long way.    Lifestyle Extra:  Modcloth Wire Headband  Cute but not really my thing. Would love to trade for makeup or Tili bags! Also got a $10 off $75 mod cloth coupon.   Man Extra:  Cologne- bah. Seems like this is an *extra* extra though and does not replace anything in this box, so I'm ok with it.

I hope the bronzer is in my box since it weighs .600!

Does anyone have a feedback option yet?  I'm finding it really hard to figure out whats in my box!

Just got my box. Weight is .5680. Personally, I think this is the worst box I ever got. I really wanted the Stlla One Step!

-Beauty Blender Cleanser...somewhat useless right now because I have a full bottle of brush cleaner.

-Comodynes Self-Tanning Intensive Towels (2)...I have used these before and I felt they made me streaky.

-Number 4 Super Comb Prep and Protect...I am interested to try this. Says it detangles, defrizzes, and has UV filters.

-The Balm Stainiac in Beauty Queen...Personally I don't like stains. This one applies lighter than it looks, so others may like it. Has an odd texture.

-Tili Bag...meh. Would rather have the Band-aids.

-John Varvatos Star USA...my husband doesn't wear cologne. I'm sure I can pass it on to someone who might like it.

Hopefully, next month will be better.

My box weighed .5960 and had the bronzer in it.  I just tried it for the first time on the back of my hand and it's lovely.

they will not accept it back, unless you have the original box from the one you bought at sephora maybe? the box with the stila bronze will most likely have a black line through the bar code indicating that it was a gratis item so they couldn't re-sell it. my stila liner had a line through the box as well. So if you have the box from the Sephora purchase, I don't see why not.

You might want to send another email or call. I had to email them again after 2 weeks of nothing and the first rep didn't even set up my order for a replacement. They are sending me a replacement and credited me 50 points.

I still haven't received a shipping notice yet, should I be alarmed? AND I'm still waiting for my Dr Jart's BB Cream from my first box last month.  This may be a sad, one sided relationship BB.

....and if they don't take it back, I'd give you my entire box for it. xD

Double post...sorry

What was your shipping weight?

There's an additional sticker covering the original UPS sticker, but the box says 0 lbs, 7 oz.
