Orange Sanguine by Atelier Colognes? One of my favorite scents! I don't mind getting perfume, I must be in a minority here. I discovered Miss Dior last month, and bought it two days after I got my box. That one has become my latest obsession!
Birchbox: The June Box discussion

How does everyone find out which box they actually get sent? I was recommended to go to Birchbox and check for feedback buttons and after a lot of time and frustration not one button popped up for me.

Hopefully getting my box today, though I was able to go on the website and see what I'm getting. It's a good box, but my peeve (this is my peeve with BB every month, even the months that I get an incredibly awesome product) is that when people receive one or two less products in their box, they have less items to give feedback on and therefore less points to earn. My mom got 7 items in her box (including men's cologne, which I believe if Im not mistaken, she can give feedback for and earn points for 2 more items than me. This seems to happen to me every month, so while I LOVE many aspects of BB, this is not one of them. I'd take getting a sample I end up not liking so I can earn points rather than have one or two less items than most boxes. It seems like most boxes are getting at least 6 this month so I dunno why I got screwed again. (Although I'm still looking forward to my box, last month sucked cause we weren't able to leave feedback on notecards so I only had 4 items to earn points on). I'm not trying to complain, and sorry if you don't like reading this, but I can't imagine people as a whole wouldn't think everyone should have the same amount of items so everyone has the same chance to earn points. It'd be one thing if it varied month to month, but I always seem to get a box with the minimal number of items while some boxes have 2 extra!

I'm beginning to think the beauty profiles aren't counting as much towards what we get as I once thought. Lol. I have on mine that I go for makeup splurges as well and I have gotten some months with makeup, but creams and things tend to be what end up most in my box (which I do like, but hey, when someone likes makeup items over skin care please send them the stila liner or bronzer...or something stila!!! lol My mom has skincare as her splurge and she has gotten kick ass makeup since her first month!!)Originally Posted by pinktergal /img/forum/go_quote.gif
For 6 months I had my splurge set to eye cream, but never got one until I changed it to makeup. I got eye cream the first month my splurge was for makeup.

I'm getting a luna bar in my box also and I'm on a strict low carb diet so that won't do me any good either. Maybe my husband will eat it. If not, maybe my dogs, ha ha ha! I might try a nibble to see what it tastes like. I've heard the Lara bars are NASTY and the Luna bars are pretty tasty so we'll see. I've been debating on dropping Sample Society for another BB sub but eh... I really liked my June SS box. I think I may hold off a little more. I wasn't too thrilled with last months BB even though I got the Stila eyeliner (that was about the only good thing in the box other than the Bulgari Omnia Crystalline sample). Then this month I get another eyeliner! (at least it's a different brand and not a liquid). It's a step up but I'd like to get something other than eyeliner! LOL!Originally Posted by Jazbot /img/forum/go_quote.gif
I love box 2 but now that I see all the different boxes....was the Luna Bar necessary? I would prefer the Tili bag...I'm on the most strict diet ever.
I would never eat this....lol I wouldn't trade it either...
Although the different boxes are quite impressive I may want another subscription...

I agree with you COMPLETELY! It's not that they have to be identical in value but there's a HUGE difference between $60 and $10. Though I am glad since they hyped up the balm stain it seems to be in almost all the boxes.
I actually love getting perfume samples. I have discovered some scents that I never would have tried out on my own (Isn't that the whole point of Birchbox?? To try new things?). The Annick Goutal Petite Cherie and the Harvey Prince Yogini have been two of my favorites. I also like the Miss Dior that I got last month. My biggest problem now is that I love both the Petite Cherie and the Yogini enough that I want both of them!
I will gladly accept more perfume samples because going to the perfume counter and smelling a million different bottles is so overwhelming and exhausting to me. They all end up smelling the same after awhile. Having someone pick one out and send it to me is much easier, even if I ends up being something I don't particularly care for. There have been enough of them mixed in that I love that it is worth it.
On the other hand, if you have an allergy to perfumes I could see how that would be frustrating, because you really can't use them.

I really hope I don't get a box with the Modcloth headband, because before everyone starting getting their boxes, I bought two from Birchbox's website...
I'm really hoping I get a box with the band aids, on account of me being super clumsy. My box still hasn't changed on the website, though, so we'll see.

I'm pretty happy to be getting Box 20, although I got the By Terry cream in an SS box and traded it. It's too heavily scented for me. So if anyone wants it, I'm happy to trade. Outside of my welcome box several months ago, I have yet to be disappointed with BB.
From the box list it appears that they did away with the barrettes for June. Too much negative feedback regarding their utter ridiculousness?

I actually don't think those barrettes were ever intended to be in the boxes, they were just in the shop...they never had the "ships free" note or anything like that. People here just like to get excited and make assumptions, lol.

I am getting box number two full size Stila bronzer!!!!
staniac comodynes self tanner wonderstruck by taylor swift luna bar
I am pretty happy with my box except the fact that for the second month in a row both of my profiles are getting the same exact box. I was really hoping for different products to try. I am super excited about getting 2 full size stila bronzers. I like paying only $20 for over $60 worth of product that I know I was going to use.

I just used the feedback method, and it indicates that I'm getting box number 2.
I am really, really unhappy with that.
HOW ARE YOU GONNA SEND A TAN GIRL BRONZER AND TANNER. Are you kidding me?! My profile even says I'm tan.
I hate Luna bars, so the only thing that makes this box worth anything to me is the Stainiac.

Ugh! I just checked my shipping and it says my box was delivered Saturday, but it wasn't in my mailbox or at my apt. office, same thing for my beauty army box too. I think it is time to call the post office and find my missing boxes.
*EDIT* They found my boxes and they are getting delivered today, the mail carrier updated the tracking before checking to if they would fit in my mailbox or if my apt. office was even open.

I completely agree! The only way I can get a new perfume is by either driving two hours to a mall or online, which is a gamble! So samples of perfume are alright with me in my BB...if I don't like them, my mom usually does and I can pass them on to her.

I don't think the self tanner is something they should send ANYONE unless they indicate interest in it! Girls who are already tan or who are black or anything other than Caucasian are going to get no use out of it. And, very pale girls like myself often have no interest in anything relating to tanning, and it could even be seen as insulting (oh, you're pale? LOL. Here you go, fix that.) Just not a good product for a service like this, in my opinion.

My shipping info still hasn't been posted to the USPS site. The UPS site only says it was transferred to the destination MI site on the 6th. I hope I get it today, even though it's supposed to be here tomorrow.

Got my box today. I feel as blah about it as I expected to...but luckily there are a couple of people interested in trading already. I got box 7...picture in the spoiler. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
Is it bad that my favorite item in the box is the men's cologne, and I am dreadfully single? Sigh.
