Birchbox: The June Box discussion

Not me.  I'm in freaking NYC and just across the river from their warehouse in NJ.  The only times that I get my boxes early is when the box is sponsored by someone (Gossip Girl, Teen Vogue, etc.) I don't know what's the deal. I just got my "My Shade of Brown" box & they're based in Brooklyn and I got it in two days. I'll start a thread on that box soon.

 I wish you would. I'm curious about that pillow box. They have a special going for $5 bucks but I'm scared to make the investment if it's not worth it. #alacheap lol

On the east coast as well, and no shipping email. However, my mother didn't get one either and she got her box yesterday. (We live in the same house haha.) Super anxious now that she's gotten hers. A liquid bronzer is quite intriguing, would be interesting to try. No matter what though, I tend to really love my box. Last month I thought for sure I wouldn't, but the one thing I was most disgruntled with turned out to be something I bought full size. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Birchbox is great for that /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Yup.  That's my worry, too.  It would be such a relief to know Birchbox wouldn't do that, but I've seen what they've done before, so it would be no surprise to get those little packets.  I really hope they give us something good for June, though.

Why did I even sign up for this lame service? Did anyone get theirs today where their shipping info said they should expect it the 13th? Is it unlikely that one of the mentioned boxes could be mine if i haven't received ot yet, ie is is unlikely I'd have same box as someone who already got theirs? Arrgghh

how do you really know it's going to be lame based on the weight?

i really don't care about my value of my birchbox (though it can be an awesome plus), i mean if it's worth more than ten dollars then it's already my money's worth, obviously we should be mad if it's worth less. but, last month for example, some people had high value boxes because they had big samples of anti-aging cream worth like $20 plus a full size stila.

i didn't feel cheated or like i didn't get my money's worth just because my box was "worth" less money wise compared to those, because i actually got products i was interested in and want to use. i wasn't interested in a $20 sample of anti-aging cream, even if that box was worth a ton because i had no use for it. and that's why birchbox can't simply just balance out the boxes so everyone gets their money's worth.

BB cleanser or the Jouer Tint. 
I've had both in the past, so hopefully the system catches it.

Fingers crossed for

Stila!!!!
I will be very mad if I get the blendercleanser, as I got it in my May Birchbox and it smells like real lavender times 1000.  It's so strong I could never use it.  I'm going to start taking part in the Trade Thread after I get my June Birchbox, so my itty bitty blendercleanser sample will be up for grabs shortly.  I have not gotten my shipping notice yet.

if you look behind plenty spoilers it's already been shown that the stila bronzer (highlight w/ cursor) is full sized and not foil packet.

someone with the same weight box as mine got a product I got last month so I'm hoping I don't get it but it's the SAME EXACT WEIGHT!!  WTF  do they really send people something the got the month before??

I guess I just don't like getting hyped up for something amazing if I'm gonna get something sub par.  And about the weight, someone with the exact same box weight as me got a product I got in May so I'd be pretty pissed if I get that box.  Can people have different boxes with the same weight???

The Pinterest link makes me more excited! That color of Deborah Lippmann is gorgeous, and I'd love some sunscreen. The fake eyelashes scare me, though. The Coola looks interesting! I kind of hope it comes later now because no one has gotten any of those items so far. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

It's a large - decent size - someone has posted their box and they had the Stila One Step.

I'm so excited to see what's in mine! Nervous though, hope I get the stila bronzer!

I GOT MY BOX!!!!!! YAYYYYYY

TAKE A LOOK /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I am pretty happy with everything...

I bought the big Jouer and it was my best makeup purchase to date. It's great sun protection and makes your face look really smooth!

It's heeere! Weight 0.4470

Ah keep forgetting to rotate it. Very pleased with my box. I tan easily so I don't really have use for a full bronzer, BUT the self-tanning wipes will be good just for my legs when I wear shorts. Well done Birchbox!!!

 

[Missglammygirl]

Yes, i recieved it but I never got the number. So, i had no idea that it was coming at all. If you are medium, it might work for you. if your lighter or darker, than the color may be too dark or light for you.
