Editing to add stuff - Looks like I missed one product in each box...

Cynthia Rowley Band-Aids

theBalm Staniac

John Varvatos Star USA man-cologne

Borghese Botanico Eye Compresses

In box 2, with a weight of .4640:

BOX 11

Borghese Bagno di Vita Body Soak

Luna Bar, lol

Eyeko Fat Eye Stick (which I got last month, in my main acct box)

theBalm Staniac

I'm hoping there's one more thing I'm missing in here...but maybe not.

MISSED: Yu-Be Moisturizing Skin Cream
 
Interesting that an item showing up in the box I'm getting doesn't show up at all on the site when you search by its brand name...weird

I'm getting box #15 which is this:

https://www.birchbox.com/shop/birchbox-1/june-2012/june12box15

 

I'm content.  My 4 year old fashionista daughter will likely steal the headband before I can even try it out.  haha!   The Supergoop will definitely get used up since I'm an SPF junkie.  Self tanning wipes I'm nervous about, but might try it anyway.  The mask will be used day 1.  The Stainiac I'm unsure about, but will try anyway.   And that's it!   Yay!
 
Judging by the feedback method I'm getting box 5. Nice! It's one of my faves out of the bunch.

I get my cute Band-Aids and two makeup items. woohoo!

You might still get it even if it was in April's box if you didn't get it in April's box.  They repeat samples a lot, and there are sometimes things that show up months after the first time they showed up, but they shouldn't show up for the same person.  Person A who received Sample 1 in March should not see that sample in June, but Person B might, and then Person C might see it in October.  

Anyway.  It looks like I might end up with at least one entire box going up for swap.  Bronzer and self-tanners are *not* for me.  I'm *far* too pasty-pale and cool-toned for them to make me look anything but artificially colored and dirty.  I could keep the Stainiac, but it looks like those are in all of my boxes, so I'm not worried about swapping one away.  I'll be waiting until they actually arrive, though, just in case I don't get whatever is supposed to be in there, or just in case the feedback method turned out to be inaccurate.

In unrelated news, when I go to the June shop page and do the View All thing, it shows 43 items -- but when I use the Page View option, it shows 66 items on five pages (I think it maxes out the number of pages show at five), but then when I go to the second, third, and fourth pages, they claim there are 43 items on four pages.  But then when I go back to the first page and click on the fifth page, it goes back to 66 items on six pages.  Very odd.  And annoying since I much prefer seeing everything on one page rather than five separate pages.

Oh!  I just found another item I have feedback on!  

In the Melvita Floral Water, Band-Aids, and Stainiac box, I'm also seeing a feedback button for Yu-Be Moisturizing Skin Cream.

so far i have the same except for the eyeliner.
Yeah, I'm not excited about bandages though lol.


I wanted the bandages! I'm sad that I'm getting the stupid tili bag instead. Maybe someone will trade them for my Staniac or self tanner or leave in hair spray.
 
Thanks, Zadi!

Using the feedback method, I was only able to see Eyeko fat stick and Stainiac.  So it looks like I could get box 9, 11 or 20.  20 is my DREAM box.  9 looks pretty good too though.  11 is my least favorite of those three, but still not bad. Estimated delivery date of June 14...

 
For a couple of months, it seemed like they were trying to even out the value of the boxes..but looking at all the boxes from this month, it seems that they abandoned that effort. 

I don't generally care that much about the value, but it's odd when some boxes have a full sized makeup product that alone is triple the value of some of the other boxes. Maybe months that they intend to include a full sized product, they should make sure every box has a full sized product of at least somewhat similar value?

 
Uhoh.  Liquid eyeliner in my box.  This will be going up for swap as soon as I get it.  I cannot do liquid eyeliner.  The fine motor control?  I do not have.  But now, bedtime, so I can be awake tomorrow when I put together my wishlist!
