Ohhhh - I am SO hoping I get it - so that's a good sign!

Only thing I absolutely DON'T WANT is

self tanning towelettes.... self tanning anything for that matter.
Everything else looks GREAT!

I'm a huge Modcloth fan so I'm sad I won't getting that because my box is too light. That is soooo cute!

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.

My box came today and was scheduled for Monday so at least my wait is over...and while it is not the box I had wished for...it does have some stuff I am curious to try.  Did y'all know that stretch mark cream, regular price, is like $185...I definitely won't repurchase that, even if it works...too much for my pocketbook! 

 

[HelloLeilani]

Still no shipping email for me. My glam bag, however, will be here tomorrow. Come onnnnnnnnn BB.

 

[koolcryyss]

Hope I get the benefit mascara- I already have it and love it so it would be awesome to get a travel sized!

Not much to go by, but maybe you can match your box weight with someone else's.  I know that I dislike scrolling back & forth, so hopefully this is helpful.  I have no patience & really would like to see what's coming!  Congrats on those getting the Stila bronzer!!!  Let us know how you like it after you try it.  Thanks!

Hopefully the BB box pages will be up soon

How much did your box weigh?

No idea /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> for some reason I haven't been getting Birchbox shipment notifications (not even in my junk folder). I tried searching my tracking number from the box, but there was no weight listed there. Anyone know how I can figure this out?

Awesome! Thanks for doing that!

I'm in the no-shipping-notice-yet club. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I have to admit, the actual boxes make me a bit more excited than the blah video did.

The headband is actually super light - I just put it on my postal scale and its .5 ounces. I weighed my box in at 4.5 ounces without the outer cardboard - hope this helps /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Hi! I just signed up for this website, although i did stalk it last month for the may box. This is my second box and i am worried, it hasnt shipped yet, not even an email about it. Should i be worried? It charged my credit card

I have 2 boxes and haven't gotten a ship notice yet on either one. I don't use a spam filter, so I don't miss any emails.

I have not gotten shipment notifications for the past 2 months, my box just magically pops up in the mail. So weird ! 

 

[tevans]

I have this exact same weight and my box arrived today! Here's what I got

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Beauty Blender Cleanser - I may be the only person who was excited to see this in my box. I don't have a beauty blender, but my brushes were WAY overdue for a cleaning. I immediately went to my bathroom and used it. It is fantastic - works so much better than stuff I've used in the past. The only off-putting thing is I'm not crazy about the smell, but it works so well that I just might forgive the smell.    the Balm Staniac - I was worried about this because I absolutely HATE benetint, it always left my lips super dry, but this is more gel like and goes on quite sheer.    Number 4 Super Comb Prep & Protect - really excited to try this the next time I wash my hair!!    Comodynes Self Tanning Packets - I now have three of these since I got one in my Beauty Box 5 as well. These make me nervous because I have super fair Irish skin. We'll see if I get brave enough to try   Lifestyle Extras - a Tili bag (meh, I'll use it, but I wouldn't pay full price for a box of them) and the John Varvatos cologne - smells super manly, makes me wish I had a significant other that I could make wear it! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />     Overall, I'm a pretty happy camper. I try not to get box envy because really, I'm paying $10 a month to get little surprises in the mail. Sometimes there are awesome surprises and sometimes just OK surprises, but that's the $10 a month gamble I'm willing to take. 

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Thanks so much ! Can't wait to see my box !

 

[onthecontrary]

My tracking finally updated! my box is .6100 and should be here Monday, though I usually get my box before the expected delivery date.

Based on what other people have gotten in boxes with similar weights, I think I might be getting the bronzer (especially since my splurge item is foundation). I'm not sure if I will keep it or trade it if I get it since I'm super pale (NC15 in the summer!), even light bronzers make me look orange!

 

[Marshmelly]

Here's my box! A couple people have posted the same content already but here's a picture in case anyone is interested. The weight was .57



Beauty Blender Cleanser (I literally just bought Beauty Blender cleanser 2 days ago! But this will be a good travel size or backup)

theBalm Stainiac

Number 4 Super Comb Prep & Protect

Comodynes Self Tanning Towelettes (I was SO hoping to not get these...they'll be up for trade)

Tili Bag (not sure what to use this for...its not see-through so I don't see how it'll be useful for airport security like it says?)

John Varvatos USA cologne (gave to the bf)

My weight is really close to yours, 0.4710. Same estimated delivery date. I'm hoping it's not gonna be one of the less-awesome boxes... but I haven't seen a box with a weight close to ours opened yet.
