Thanks for reminding me of all the things I missed out on

Teasing teasing. But really, I wanted to try the rose water and juliet has a gun not a perfume. Maybe next month...

There are a lot of products that haven't shown up yet. The next wave of boxes should have different stuff in them. Like the rose water, juliet has a gun not a perfume, the blow pro beach pro mist, kiehl's sunscreen, benefit they're real, deborah lippmann polish. I hope these are all items in the next boxes. Please birchbox gods, let there be a DL Polish! 

Or at least a spoiler page tomorrow!

Na, you didn't miss out on anything, you've got some great stuff there. Keep an eye out on the trade thread for the rose water and perfume: https://www.makeuptalk.com/t/121990/birchbox-open-trade-thread/1200#post_1888128

I'm just hoping for the best since I've only got a tracking number right now.

1. Eyeko Fat Eye Stick OR Eyeko Skinny Liquid Eyeliner
2. Juliette Has a Gun Not a Perfume
3. Masqueology Pore Minimizing Mask OR Masqueology Brightening Mask
4. Melvita Floral Water
5. Comodynes Self-Tanning Intensive
6. theBalm® cosmetics Stainiac
7. stila one step bronze
8. stila sparkle liquid eye liner
9. tili Bags

I found a way too and it worked for me on: 

tili bags

stila one step bronze floral water eyeko fat eye stick John varvatos star stainiac     I HIGHLY doubt they are sending me that kind of box lol, so I don't think it's accurate either.
I know its not accurate too because it worked on products I've never received that are  not in this month's boxes.

JUST got my shipping notice and my weight is  .05410
haven't seen this yet but maybe i missed some posts. Anyone?


also, seeing people complaining about "low value" of their boxes.. well let's just say it looks bad on you. You pay 10 bucks a month for the thing. It almost always surpasses, and we get fun new things to try. --  what're ya b****ing about ? /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I think the complaint is not so much about the products and their quality per se (although I perfectly understand the gripes about the Dr. Jart!) but the equity, so to speak. It frequently seems as if there is not a fair distribution of value.

it's here!!!

this box weighed . 6100



 

The Staniac is awesome. I was afraid I wouldn't like it because I hate benetint, but since it's a gel it's easier to apply. The Tili bag is cute, I will use it. I don't tan, so I'll trade the wipes. The mask looks really cool, I'm excited to try it! I'm not totally sure about the bronzer, I normally don't use bronzers, but I swatched it and it's very subtle, maybe I can use it to contour.

I have to agree with this.  Birchbox never said our boxes would equal a certain minimum value, so I don't get why people are mad when their products add up to $15.  Looking back on my 9 months, I have had the chance to try out some amazing products that I wouldn't have had the opportunity to do before this service.  I would never be able to afford any of this stuff without Birchbox.  I know a lot of people have better situations and can buy high-end cosmetics and beauty products all the time.  But for people like me, this is as good as it gets   /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

too excited. even though i got my ss box yesterday i'm dying to get bb!

EEEEEEEEEE it wasn't too much to hope! It's HERE!!

I finally got my box weight also. It's .4650. I can't necessarily go by the weight of boxes people already got because my box was sent out in a different wave by box # so I'm assuming it's not identical to any boxes that have already been received even if the weight is the same. Plus I'm wondering if there is still different products in the boxes that haven't been received by anyone yet :nixweiss: . I would love to get the >> bronzer but I'll be happy if I get >> the eyeko, the staniac, the bandaids, or the headband. (highlight spaces for spoilers) Overall, I think I'll be happy with this box but only time will tell.

Both my boxes came today! Hoorah! So here's a sneak peek, as I obviously haven't had a chance to try anything out yet. Like seriously, they just came 15 minutes ago. I'm letting you in on the scoop first :icon_lol: Box #1 (For me at least): Weight = 0.4850

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Box #2: Weight = 0.5050 **Actually not sure if we've seen this exact one yet, but with the crazy amount of posts, I can't be sure.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

I'm loving my first box, and I'm totally ok with the repeats in my second. I could have done without the Self-tanning clothsthough, but I'll deal. I'm super pale, and I still plan on trying them out.  Also, I can't wait to try the Eyeko Fat Eye Stick or the Stainiac. Plus the ModCloth headband looks super cute, but I'm not sure if I can pull it off. Anyone else that has had two boxes for a while notice that their second box typically has higher value AND more numerous products for the first few months? Just a coincidence, perhaps?  Plus, I'm actually excited about the men's cologne. I told my boyfriend about the possibility, and he got so cute and excited. Can't wait to pass it on to him... My box weight is .5060! Your second box is the only one I've seen with that close of a weight so far.

My delivery date was supposed to be the 11th, but it sounds like you're in a different batch!

 

[kawaiimeows]

Same thing with mine! Im at .5460 and delivery on the 14! Most likely the same box!

my box weighs 0.4910 --- hoping i get some different products that haven't been in the boxes revealed so far.  i can't keep myself from peeking, but i wish i could be surprised   /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  

 

[reepy]

I still didn't get a shipping notice and in my purchase history, it doesn't show anything for this month - just May, which was my first month.  Do you guys think that this is normal and that I will still be getting my June box?
