Birchbox: The June Box discussion

[galaxiigrl]

It looks like I'm getting box 20, too. The weight is .4210 lbs, expected delivery date 6/14.

I was excited for most of the items until I looked at the box picture, and saw that it looks like the

By TERRY Light-Expert Perfecting Foundation Brush sample is just a foil packet. It's too bad they couldn't have sent a mini version of the actual brush.
Otherwise, I'm pretty excited to try the other items, though depending on the ingredients, I might trade the

By TERRY Creme de Rose Nutri-Lift Comfort Cream.
And hey, 6 items definitely makes up for my paltry 4 items from last month!

But it's box 20, which is a very cool box, imo.  

1. • BY TERRY Light-Expert Perfecting Foundation Brush
   • tili Bags Small Collection 1
     
   • Eyeko Fat Eye Stick
     
   • BY TERRY Crème de Rose Nutri-Lift Comfort Cream
     
   • Joya Âmes SÅ“urs Parfum - A Scent of Soulmates
     
   • theBalm® cosmetics Stainiac

According to feedback, I'm getting box 2. I am pretty ok with it. I won't use the bronzer, but it will make for a great trade. I already have the full size of wonderstruck, but since it fades fast I won't mind having one in my desk at work, I guess. I think luna bars are disgusting but I'd rather have that than men's cologne. My box should be here on Monday!

I'm not going to look at any of the other boxes, so I don't get box envy. I'm getting a full size stila product and the stainiac sample. That is good enough.

2. Georgie Beauty Winks by Georgieâ„¢
3. theBalm® cosmetics Stainiac
4. LA FRESH® Eco-Beauty Oil-Free Face Cleanser

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!

I'm getting the same box.  don't know how I feel about it yet.  I did want the staniac, so I'm happy with that.

 

[quene8106]

just gave enough feedback to get points so I can order the beauty blender cleanser for free.  i just can't picture myself buying $20 worth of cleanser for my brushes and blender thingie.  i still don't know why they won't put it in my damn box when i got the blender in february. i also want something from stila for once in my life. i see stila on here all the time and i have yet to get anything from them

if you don't want your box, i am willing to trade your box with my box 4 

 

[glamourdolleyes]

I am getting box 4 and 5. Both have things I have already gotten before (darn having 2 accounts) and both are pretty underwhelming with the exception of the eyeko liner. I really wanted the Juliette Has a Gun sample so if anyone gets it and doesn't want it, I will have these for trade:

-- John Varvatos Star U.S.A.
-- Yu-Be Moisturizing Skin Cream
-- theBalm® cosmetics Stainiac
-- BAND-AID® Brand Adhesive Bandages by Cynthia Rowley Bundle
-- BVLGARI Omnia Crystalline Eau de Toilette Spray
-- BORGHESE Crema Saponetta Cleansing Bar for Face and Body
-- Ada Cosmetics Bronzer
 

 

[Kristinexoxox]

Not complaining over here, cause this is my dream box this month, but I think I wished too hard because both boxes coming to my house are:

1. John Varvatos Star U.S.A.
2. tili Bags Small Collection 1
3. Masqueology Pore Minimizing Mask
4. stila one step bronze
5. Comodynes Self-Tanning Intensive
6. theBalm® cosmetics Stainiac
    

 

 

[Hilde]

I'm getting box 4. Hopefully I'll get it before Sunday since I'm going on vacation!

1. John Varvatos Star U.S.A.
2. Yu-Be Moisturizing Skin Cream
3. Eyeko Skinny Liquid Eyeliner
4. theBalm® cosmetics Stainiac
5. BAND-AID® Brand Adhesive Bandages by Cynthia Rowley Bundle
6. Melvita Floral Water

The eyeliner comes in olive and turqoise, so I'll most likely put it up for trade. If anybody wants to trade against a fat stick let me know!

 

[Janamaste]

I'm getting box 15.


Box 15

1. Modcloth Headband
2. Masqueology Brightening Mask
3. Comodynes Self-Tanning Intensive
4. theBalm® cosmetics Stainiac
5. Supergoop SPF 30+ Everyday UV Lotion for Face and Body

I'm bummed. However, I'm not surprised. There were very few boxes that wouldn't have given me a repeat sample. (Less than 50% of the boxes.) 

Box 6 would have been my first pick. I really wanted Stila's Bronzer. 

I know some people are mega-makeup hounds, but I really want my hair care and I'm sick of getting hairbands/ties.

I'm giving BB one more month.

 

[hrseangel]

Via feed back method and weight (0.5450) I am getting box 25

Melvita Floral Water

Wonderstruck

Tilli bag

stila one step bronze

stila one step bronze
Pretty HAPPY because NO LUNA BAR and no self tanner.

Would have likes one of the makeup eye products (addict!!) but happy with my product and I will use them all. Going on a LONG vacation in 30 days so will try some of the travel tips with these prodicuts.

 

[zombielovrr]

I'm getting Box 11. I'm kinda eh. I love the Yu-be, didn't want the fat stick, wanted the rose water or the bronzer and I really wanted a tili bag. I'm also getting a Luna bar which I am not thrilled about at all. 

 

[kawaiimeows]

even though i literally got the perfect box, i really do wish i was getting that modcloth headband hahahah.

oh well i might have to order one when i do a haul with my points!

 

[Emr410]

Looks like I am getting TWO box #8

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Masqueology Brightening Mask Ada Cosmetics Bronzer Likewise Facial Moisturizer + Sun Protectant SPF 50 Normal To Dry theBalm® cosmetics Stainiac BAND-AID® Brand Adhesive Bandages by Cynthia Rowley 

Not really interested in any of it, as it really doesn't match my profile. I like the 4th item but already have a full size. Looks like its all going up for trade!

 

[crazymomma10]

I am getting 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

Not super thrilled but not super disappointed either I will probably put a couple of them up for trade. So far my three BB's have been "Okay" I may get a second subscription and change it up a bit.

 

[Stdanzy]

I'm really excited about my boxes this month! On my first account I am getting box 11:

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

1.)yube moisturizer 2.) eyeko fat eye stick 3.) borghese body soak 4.) the balm stainiac 5.) Luna bar- not too excited aout this, I only like the white chocolate macadamia flavor lol

And on my second account I am getting box 4:

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

1.) yube moisturizer 2.) melvita floral water 3.) the balm stainiac 4.) John varvatos (giving this to the hubs) 5.) eyeko skinny eye stick 6.) Cynthia Rowley band aids, I'm on the fence about bandages, as I have at least 1000 of them in my house from having too much money left over on my prepaid healthcare card lol, but I guess I can keep them in my dance bag and use stylish bandaids for my blisters lol

I can't wait for them to get here!

 

[meaganola]

For those who have received the Soulmates perfume, is it oil- or alcohol-based?  Every single time I leave feedback on perfumes, I complain that I can't use alcohol-based perfume and would love it if they did an oil-based perfume.  Naturally, I'm not getting this one, but I'm curious enough about it to want to put it on my wishlist (even though I have *way* too much perfume oil as it is), so I wanted to check on this before I did so.

For those who want to know whether there's a way to not get perfume, no, there's not.  In addition to my failed attempts at steering future selections by stating in my feedback that alcohol-based perfumes are useless to me, people have asked Birchbox directly if there's a way to not get perfume samples, and the answer has been no every single time.

And as for the men's cologne sample, they stated somewhere that this would be good for dads, so I'm thinking this is nothing more than a clumsy way to tie this in to Father's Day, so I would be surprised if they tried this again before next Father's Day, and I would not be surprised if next June's box had a men's sample of some sort.  

(And I'm happy to see the Dr. Jart+ again.  I was thinking about buying it, but I really wanted to try the SPF 45 version before I picked one or the other, so I'm going to try to swap for it since the SPF 45+ is in some boxes this time around.)

 

[quene8106]

I read this on a blog somewhere and it made me lmao:

 
"The day that I get a birchbox with no perfume samples, I will cry tears of joy".  
 
I noticed that boxes 8, 10, 11, 12, 15, 22, 24 don't have a perfume or cologne.
 
Maybe I should change my splurge to "perfume" and i won't get it.  I see other ppl listing other products as their splurge like haircare, foundation, etc. and they never get samples of those items.  It's time to play a little reverse psychology lol.
 
This #teamnoperfume thing is serious to me lol, especially since I suffer from eczema & have allergic reactions to everything. I hate throwing it away 

 
Who is with me on #teamnoperfume? LOL
