Birchbox: The June Box discussion

[lovestarbrooke]

That makes the most sense of any theory I've heard yet.  Question: does anyone have perfume set as their splurge? And if so, do you get many perfume samples in your BBs?

I have my profile set to perfume and I have gotten a perfume almost every month since I started BB back in December. None of which I have liked lol. They keep sending me florals and I keep telling them florals ain't my thing. I always end up giving them to a friend or coworker.

This is my first Birchbox!  Yea!!  

I am getting box #3.  Anyone else getting that one?  Any thoughts on box 3 would be appreciated.  

Thanks.

i have no idea why everyone hates getting perfume. i would rather get a bigger ticket item than a small bottle of random perfume BUT i would rather have the small bottle than less items overall. maybe just cos i am on a very limited budget for beauty items , i like it all. i ran out of perfume ages ago and just use these samples i get to change it up - nothing i have fallen in love with yet or i would have bough a full size , but still, nothing i'd complain about.

perhaps if i got to places like sephora or ulta often i would change my mind but for now it is better than nothing, for me /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Yay! the only perfume I liked was the one from April's box.  It was some french fragrance that smelled like oranges but it had a hefty price tag

-beauty blender blendercleaser: meh.

-comodynes self-tanning intensive: I'm really pasty. And fake tanner looks horrible on me.

-Number 4 super comb prep and protect: Not particularly exciting, but will be used.

-theBalm stainiac in beauty queen: Looks like a pretty color! Only item I'm excited about.

-tili bag: cute and all, but in the end, it's a ziploc bag.

-John Varvatos star usa: the hubs already has a cologne, and is not interested in trying a new one, so I'm not sure what is gonna happen with this.
All in all, a really disappointing month. As soon as feedback is left, I'm cancelling. I think it's time for me and Birchbox to take a break from each other lol. 

same one i got..  my beautyblender cracked after 5 uses when i got it..   could of used the cleanser then!  guess ill wash brushes with it....

Oranges, yum! The one I received from April's box was the Taylor Swift Wonderstruck one...I need to go smell it again. I like fruity perfumes.

Oh nvm, you're talking about March box, it was Annick Goutal Petite Cherie...I haven't used that one yet.

nope. it was in my april box along with the befinegate stuff. i think it was called atlier (sp). i got kate spade twirl perfume in march

Same here! I loved the Bulgari sample I got last month, for example. I never finish full-size perfumes because I get bored with them very easily, so samples are the way to go for me! I do prefer it when they come in sprays though, the stopper bottles can get annoying.

It looks like I'm getting 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 am actually happy for all the items I get and I'm definitely going to use them! I think it's great that they include a Stainiac  (highlight) in everyone's box! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

It's funny how women with dark skin say they don't want a self tanner because they don't need it (which totally makes sense) but then women with fair skin don't want one either! I personally like self tanners because they make my impossible-to-tan face less pale without having to bake my skin through sunbathing or even worse tanning beds. I mean, don't get me wrong, I like my fairly light skin, but I also like to get a little tan in the summer, and I found out that self tanners add a little glow to my skin and even make any redness or occasional pimples less visible. So I'm happy to try the self-tanning wipes! I'm surprised at how many people are disappointed to get them!

I really don't like getting the perfume. I think perfume is such a personal thing - I either love a scent or I hate it. And I honestly really don't like most of them, and will never ever use them.  I don't mind them as an extra, but not as one of my 4 samples.

I have that one! Atelier Orange Sanguine. It's amazing - love it for summer. Of course, it's the ONE perfume I haven't gotten a sample of in my box.

LOL. I most definitely am on #teamnoperfume!

 

[kueenie]

So it looks like I'll be getting box #4! I got my tracking number but it doesn't seem to be working. (Anyone know why) Maybe it will tomorrow morning!

I was hoping to swap the Yu-be moisturizer with somebody! PM if you want to swap! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Mine did the same exact thing! Just ripped/split in several spots along the side. I never really saw these amazing airbrushed results like I saw with others. It made my makeup look fine, but nothing amazing or revolutionary. Just glad that I didn't shell out the money to try one full-price! I gave it to my cats to play with lol.
