I love the Omnia Crystalline! It was my favorite from last month's box. I'm so tempted to buy it next time I save up enough BB points.

    I need to look into how to use the stain on my cheeks.  I am kinda excited but kinda not excited about the tanning wipes.  I don't know how I feel about the eye shadow pencil... not excited about the birchbox man lifeystle extra because im single and have NO one to give it to, haha.
My box weight was like .43 I believe.  I am excited about everything! I need to look into how to use some of it though.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

my box had the beauty blender cleanser, the 2self tanner packets, the comb and protect leave in, the stainiac, a tili bag and the men's cologne. I am none too pleased. The total value of this box calculated at the highest retail value is $16.10. Probably the lowest I have recieved from birchbox, snd that number included $.95 for the Baggie and $1.30 for the men's cologne ( which is a throw away for me). Without these extras, the actual value of the bag is under $14. Not good Birchbox!!

Me tooooooooo. But I always seem to get my shipping notice the same day it arrives in the mail. So... maybe it will come tomorrow (surprise)? I'm starting to get nervous with everyone getting amazing boxes -- what will be left for lil ol' me? I am pretty happy with everything I've seen so far, but of course I'd love to try some items more than others.

I SO hope I get the stretch mark cream. I'm always looking for new ones to try, and mederma never works as well as they claim. Any ladies who get it and don't want it, feel free to PM me! Lol.
 

That Modcloth headband is adorable, too! If I don't get one in my box, I'm buying it, anyway.

Nope, they sent out the blender cleanser either last month or the one before, too.

I have never been unhappy with a Birchbox before, but if I get the one I think I'll be getting (my box weight is .5650) I will be sad. I hate and cannot use self tanner, I just bought a big bottle of cleanser for my brushes, I already have the Staniac, I'm single and don't have a man to give the cologne to, and I hate leave in hair products, they make me look and feel greasy. And I have zero interest in a plastic baggie. I try not to gripe because I have always found almost everything in my boxes useful or interesting, but this particular box is 100 percent things I can't use or already have. Ohhh well. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

From what I've seen, no one can. I'm willing to bet that they figured out our trick and now probably won't load the feedback buttons until they update the site tomorrow.

Yeah, I think this is the one I am going to get based on weight. I am about the most underwhelmed I have been in my 11 months with birchbox. There is nothing in there I want to try and the only good thing about the mens cologne is I get a dollar in points for rating it so the box was essentially $4. Again, why didn't they send out that TINY BB cleaner with the BB. I'd have liked them better together or at least send out a bigger cleaner. I am ready for another high dollar box, last month was underwhelming as well, but the rest of this year has been great!! I'm not a complainer, but now that I've seen the stila and the clarks both of which I've been dying to try nothing else will be as good. Why do I look at the spoilers ;-)

It weighed .4763, if anyone is wondering.

I'm happy with it!!  I'm sure I'll actually use all of it.  I'm also pretty excited that I haven't gotten a shipping notice for my 2nd sub yet, because I'm hoping to get something completely different!  Last month I got 2 identical boxes, down to the colors.  It was an awesome box (full-sized Stila, nail polish, Dr. Jart, Kerastase), but I didn't need it twice, especially two sparkly blue eyeliners and 2 bottles of sparkly gold nail polish - not like they're every day products (at least for me).

On a side note, I actually like not knowing what boxes there are out there.  I'm finding myself a lot more laid back and looking forward to my 2nd box than I was last month, where I poured over the GG options and dissected each one deciding which I'd want the most.  Not to say that I'll be able to keep myself away once they get posted

, I'm sure, but for right now I'm just looking forward to it and not worried that I'm going to get something I don't want.

Mine weighs .47 and I would put the whole thing up for trade if I get that one. Ugh All the ones close to .47 are this one so Im pretty sure this is what I am getting. But this is what the trade thread is for

That is exactly why they do it, and I think its a great idea too!

Haha, I never get it second time around though. I've been wanting something for Clarks it seems since I started BB, and nothing /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Think I'm going to switch my profile though. The splurging on haircare isn't working for me. I don't get the ones I want and I do get foil packages  that I can't get open /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
