Birchbox: The June Box discussion

[panzerruin]

Got my BB AND my Glambag today! It felt like Christmas. Haha.

Comodynes Self-Tanning Intensive -- Let me just say, I am pasty. I gave this to a friend.
Eyeko Fat Eye Stick (Old Gold) -- I freaking love it!
Likewise Facial Moisturizer -- Meh.
theBalm cosmetics Staniac (Beauty Queen) -- I love how light you can blend this, because, again, I'm pale.

Lifestyle Extras:
tili bag -- Once again, meh.
BB Man John Varvatos -- Thank you, BB, for reminding me that I have no boyfriend as of last month. Honestly, getting a men's cologne after the crap I've been through lately kinda stung. Silly, I know.
All in all, I'm pretty pleased with this month. I was disappointed I didn't get the stretch mark cream, but my friend who uses BB has promised me hers if she gets it. Fingers crossed!

From the feedback method, it looks like im getting 2 of the box# 2. Stainiac is great because I lost my benetint, so Iwont have to repurchase any stain for a while since im getting two . Luna bars? I wonder what flavor they will be... Two stila bronzers!!!! Not complaining at all! Tanning towlettes.... maybe for my legs?Idk, im already super tan... And a sample of wonderstruck, well the scent isnt too bad, but I already have a rollerball of it I got for free from sephora from the 15 days of thrills promo, spares?

Just curious about why they would include a bronzer plus tanning towelettes in the same box. Otherwise thrilled that im getting two bronzers! cant wait to do a youtube video reviewing it! Im happy i didnt get bandaids because i had purchased them at target a few months ago. they are adorable by the way! And they will be arriving on my birthday! thanks birchbox for such a great birthday present! lol

Ok, revision to what we're getting.

My box: Weight (lbs.): 0.5210
June Box #3

1. Dr. Jart+ Water Fuse Beauty Balm SPF 25+
2. Melvita Floral Water
3. theBalm® cosmetics Stainiac
4. Joya Âmes Sœurs Parfum - A Scent of Soulmates
5. KELLY VAN GOGH® Colour Protecting Caviar Shampoo
6. KELLY VAN GOGH® Colour Protecting Caviar Conditioner
7. BAND-AID® Brand Adhesive Bandages by Cynthia Rowley

I'll take it. I know I'll enjoy the Stainiac, saw it at Ulta tonight. Perfume I'm picky about, I'm in love with my Burberry Body. Shampoo and conditioner, that's good... always looking for a new shampoo and conditioner. Band-Aids, I can use all the time with the kidlets who are always 'asking', "MOM!!! Do we have any bandages!?"

Yes! Just checked and saw I'm getting the Dr. Jart BB cream. Woot! I love me some Korean BB cream!

Eldest daughter: Weight (lbs.): 0.5305
June box #2

1. Comodynes Self-Tanning Intensive
2. stila one step bronze
3. LUNA Bar
4. theBalm® cosmetics Stainiac
5. Wonderstruck Taylor Swift

I know she's love the Stila bronzer because she tried it on at Ulta and wanted it. She'll also like the Stainiac. I know she'll like the self-tanning wipe as I had it in another box from another company and gave it to her. Luna bar she'll love and she likes Wonderstruck (I got that before and gave it to her as well).

Middle daughter: Weight (lbs.): 0.5430
Youngest daughter: Weight (lbs.): 0.5430
June box #2

1. Comodynes Self-Tanning Intensive*
2. stila one step bronze*
3. LUNA Bar
4. theBalm® cosmetics Stainiac
5. Wonderstruck Taylor Swift

*Seriously?! LMAO!

LOL -- my younger two daughters don't tan let alone self-tan as for bronzer.... They have ivory skin and when they "tan" naturally they turn lobster red, peel and then are ivory again. Bronzer and self-tanner wipes... LMAO. Definitely not items they'll use. I'm just cracking up over the fact that these girls have ivory complexions and are getting bronzer and self-tanner. Also they don't have similar profiles yet this is the third time they're getting the exact same box. Well they can trade with me or their big sister who does use bronzer and self-tanner. Everything else they'll love.

Wait a minute... all three are getting the same box? Different weights but the same contents? Hmm... I'll have to double check their accounts, 'cause that shouldn't be right.

Well it's right... All three are getting the same box despite one of the boxes having a different weight. Odd. But it does prove to me that birchbox doesn't take the profiles into consideration at all. All three girls have completely different profiles.

 

[o0jeany0o]

Looks like I'm getting Box #2 and Box #6 

Not very different from each other but I'm still happy with my boxes, although I'd trade either of my boxes for box #17.

sounds like a good box! I got the eyeko stick last month and it was not bad, in satin taupe, but the only thing is that it smudges like crazy so be aware of that. maybe a primer underneath? the gold color sounds pretty! the taupe I got looked silver but the consistency is nice and buttery! enjoy it!

 

[lechatonrose]

Is the jart bigger this month?

 

[Crossroads]

I'm getting Box 2

1. Wonderstruck Taylor Swift
2. stila one step bronze
3. Comodynes Self-Tanning Intensive
4. theBalm® cosmetics Stainiac
5. LUNA Bar

Except for the stainiac I don't want the rest. Maybe the Luna Bar if its not in peanut butter. I really wanted the Eyeko Fat Eye Stick or TERRY Light-Expert Perfecting Foundation Brush.

I should probably try to trade I know a lot wanted the One Step bronzer but I'm just not the bronze/ tan type.

: D

I noticed...

The Dr. Jart BB Creams are the same size as some deluxe samples Sephora had a while back. I got one and it lasted foreverrr! (It was filled all the way though, Ha!) I would say they are at least twice the size of the previous Dr. Jart samples from BB.

[PrettyInPowell]

Ugh... Im box number 11... Seriously pissed off at Birchbox now... I had two subscriptions last month and cancelled the new one even though I got a better box and switched my beauty profile to match that one! It makes no difference! I swear! I mean it counts a little bit but as far as quality I think it just depends on a group they essentially put you in.  None of the things in my box excite me and none our useful and I am traveling in 2-weeks and I could have really LOVED most of the other boxes -- instead I got stuck with mostly leftover products. I am re-opening my second account and closing this one because I swear I will get a better box with that one...

I wonder if BB only looks at age and income then. Is that the only thing that is the same on your girl's profiles? It's too bad they are all getting the same thing with different profiles.

I had my lust item as foundation and last month did not receive a dr jart, nor any foundation type product this month. I think you're right, they don't look at the profiles.

i'm not over the moon about it, but it could have been worse for me.

Based on the feedback method this is the box i am getting as well. My shipping weight is .4760. Totally underwhelmed (sigh) this is my one yr anniversary with bb and I was really hoping for one of the bigger ticket items STILA lol! I know they dont dp the yr anniversary boxes anymore but I was still hoping!

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?

Yes, it would be nice if everybox could have one full size item. I don't really care if they're equal value, but at least one full size for everyone would be nice.

 

[jacrose]

Dang. Looks like I'm getting box #11. I'm glad to be getting the stain and the eyeko stick but disappointed in getting a freaking LUNA bar instead of that Stila bronzer. I can't even eat it (gluten intolerant /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />)!

 

[jesssch86]

So, I am getting Box 12. They updated the final missing product I couldn't find, and turns out it's lashes, cool! My box weight is 0.539:

1. tili Bags Small Collection 1
2. Georgie Beauty Winks by Georgieâ„¢
3. theBalm® cosmetics Stainiac
4. LA FRESH® Eco-Beauty Oil-Free Face Cleanser
5. Hair Rules Lift Volumizing Shampoo

I'm trying out the philosophy clear days ahead system right now, so I won't try the face wash for awhile probably, but I this is my best box so far, I'm pretty excited!

Totally agree! I love bb but I really dont get why the boxes seem so uneven in value. I know we all our 10 dollars worth. But some boxes are worth 54$ and others are at 15$!

 

[viccckyhoang]

I'm getting box #2!!! I'm pretty happy right now... even though I wanted that nail polish! Heheh it would've been nice, right?

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...

Same here!! I could leave feedback for Eyeko fat stick and Stainiac and it could be any of the three boxes...I wouldn't mind any of those in fact! Will have to wait until the 14th...

 

 

[KristantheGreat]

Getting box #5 !! Pretty excited, that was my ideal box because I would be mad I I got the self tanner pads because, clearly, I don't need a tan lol.

That's me, as well...pale skin and naturally red-blonde hair (when I don't dye it). Never had a tan in my life, I go from white to red to white again. Self tanners and bronzers are literally the stupidest thing they could send me, LOL.

And I've gotten self tanning wipes now from three different subs.

I wish subs would have a blacklist option where people could blacklist one or two items they do not ever want. I know many on here would love to blacklist perfume samples. For me, it'd be tanners and bronzers!
