Birchbox: The June Box discussion

[elviscupcake]

I am new here. I am getting box #2. Pretty happy!! Got the Stila liner last month this is my third month and I feel like my May and June boxes made up for my first box that arrived very late (I am West Coast though) and had the expired Befine.

I am wondering what I need to put in my customer profile to keep from getting fragrance. I have access to fragrance samples all the time and am restricted on the fragrance I can wear to work....and I have gotten one fragrance sample each month now. I am not so concerned about value being lower or higher.....I just don't want to get fragrance every single month. Maybe this is normal?? Does anyone rarely get fragrance and if so, what does your profile say please? I need to go back and see what I selected for this.

Woot!  I just checked boxes  (My sister doesn't want it anymore but I'm keeping her sub for now)

I'm getting Box 11



and Box 23



My mom is getting Box 1


I love that every box has a makeup item and a lot of them have a full sized makeup item too.  Also kind of surprised that they included (highlight) Dr. Jart+ BB creams in these boxes after the last fiasco but they seem to be a lot bigger than last month's

Maybe that was something that they worked out with the company to point out that the fiasco turned a lot of folks off?

Someone asked about the Dr. Jart. 

I actually use the Dr. Jart Premium Beauty Balm and have that same sample from elsewhere. It's *much* bigger than the water-base sample. Plenty. If it's the same sample I have it's maybe $10 worth of product.

To peek or not to peek.....hmmmm....

I checked this morning, I'll be getting box 4 as well. YAY! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Looks like I am getting box 22! Very pleased... I used Birchbox's Jet Set board on Pinterest to look up the June products to see which items I had feedback buttons for. Hope this helps for those still trying to figure out what they are getting.

 

[reepy]

I feel like this may be obvious, but where can I find out what box I'm getting? My weight is .4710 but I don't see weights listed on the spoiler page.  Products on my account page yet and the only feedback button I seem to have is Stainiac.  How are you guys able to figure out what you're getting?

I'll be getting box 26, and my niece is getting box 4.  While I'm happy that my box has 7 items in it (hoping I can leave feedback for all of them) I'm not too crazy about the packets of Oribe shampoo and conditioner.  The Dr. Jart is different from the one last month, it's the premium spf 45.  I'm just hoping it's full.

 

[TXSlainte]

I'm getting box 7, which is the one I had assumed I'd get based on weight. Birchbox is finally starting to send me hair products on a pretty regular basis!

 

[TXSlainte]

Also, I agree on the full size comments above. If one box has a full size product, every box should have a full size product. They don't all have to have the same product, and they don't have to be included every month, but to be fair they should be for everyone or no one.

I'd be happy to trade for any unwanted Stila Bronzer!!!

 

[koolcryyss]

I am getting box number 2! I am super excited for the stila bronzer, luna bar ( Ive always wanted to try one!), stainiac, and wonderstruck (i love trying out new fragrances), but the only thing  iam scared of is the intensive tanning towlette, I mean I will use self tanner, but the shade seems a little dark (Im an NC25)

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!

Haha I also have a porcelain complexion and got self-tanning wipes in both my boxes. It's like they think we're self-conscious about it and want to look tan like everyone else.  Even in the video it implied they would be sending the wipes to paler girls.  Newsflash to Birchbox: I'm not 15 anymore and I love my skin tone. Thanks, but no thanks.

I love the blacklist idea! But at the same time, I actually really like both my boxes and couldn't be more thrilled with several of my products. You can't win them all, and I like trying out new stuff. I would have never found Twirl if I had blacklisted perfume samples. Unfortunately that just means I get stuff I'm not interested in every once in a while...

YAY! Box 2

 

[arendish]

I'm getting Box 4 (I haven't seen anyone else with this!):

Melvita Floral Water
The Balm Stainiac
Eyeko Skinny Liquid Eyeliner
Yu-Be Moisturizing Skin Cream
Bandaids
Birchbox Man Extra
 I don't use liquid eyeliner, so maybe someone will want to trade for the fat stick? The rest I'm pretty extremely happy with! Way to redeem yourself, BB.

 

[HopieBopie]

urgh! i've checked out the shipping notice being the same each month, and my package's in my hometown, and my box isn't up online yet!! I know this is good (it may actually be a surprise this month!) but still..

 

[zorabell]

I am getting box #9! I was hoping for this one and I can use almost all of the items.

 

[reepy]

Okay, my stuff updated.  Based on the feedback method, the weight of .4710 will be

box 10: 

1. Clark's Botanicals Ultra Rich Lip Tint
2. LA FRESH® Eco Beauty Acetone-Free Nail Polish Remover
3. tili Bags Small Collection 1
4. theBalm® cosmetics Stainiac
5. KELLY VAN GOGH® WONDERLUST® Hair Colour Protecting & Illuminating Tonic

Oh Man, I am SUPER disappointed this month I am getting two boxes of the same thing #7

I didn't even get the darn bandaids which I could at least use.  Self tanner?  Really?  As soon as I get it it all goes up for swap so hit me up if you are interested.
