Ahava Mineral Botanic Hibiscus and Fig Velvet Cream Wash (smells amazing)

First Aid Beauty Smooth Shave Cream 

Ofra Cosmetics Eye Shadow ICE (cool product, though not sure how I'll use black cream eyeshadow)

vBeaute skin care trio (face serum, face cream, eye creme)

Wella Enrich Moisturizing Hair Treatment

A Perfume Organic - I got Urban Organic, which has lemon, bourbon, lime, basil, ginger, and vetiver. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
All in all, I'm happy with this box! I'm sad at the billing issues this month, but happy with the products.

My comment to you is a spoiler /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Use the black cream shadow (it's in white, highlight to see! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />) as a base!!! I love black cream as a base, makes eyeshadow colors change, last longer and not crease!!!!

The funny thing is that I felt exactly this way about the first box.  The only thing I was semi-looking forward to was the nail polish, although chances were high that I would get a color I had or didn't want (it turned out I got one I already had).  But then I got the box, and I decided that I might as well try everything (except the nail polish, since it's a second bottle of a color, and I don't do backup bottles of nail polish, so it's on my swap list even though I love the shade), and I fell in love with everything except the lipstick (it's a color I can't wear because I need cool cool cool colors, so I gave it to my aunt because she can wear warmer colors than I can, although that's not a color she should wear with white, but that's a whole separate issue).  So, so antsy for this next one!

Thanks! I'm hoping that will be the case after trying everything. (I think part of it is my disappointment on missing out on last months box - it looked so good!)

I finally peeked last night since my ship notice came yesterday afternoon and mine wasn't shipped until the 27th. 

I'd be happy with either box, but I'd prefer the Ahava.  I've never heard of that brand of mascara......has anyone tried it and liked it?  I love Tarte's Lights Camera Lashes mascara.  I hate the price of it, but it's the only one that doesn't end up flaking off all over my face.
I do hope that GB will adjust their billing date so that we're not getting charged for the next one before the current one arrives......as others have mentioned.

The box doesn't look to exciting for me. Am I the only one not over joyed? lol

Hopefully once I see the products it will be different.

I do like however, that the perfume seems to be a legit extra and not a complete sample. Since I think they say 4-5 samples and this one has 6?

Glad I am not the only one feeling like that! The only thing I was excited about was the

Mascara
and now I see that everyone is not even getting  that!  I hope that when I get it I like it though, I hate to have to put it give to friends or put it on the swap board!

Well, my Ahava exploded in the box a little. It's not too much, but I still might try to contact CS. I lost a bit of product. I got the Ofra in Dumb Plum.  I swatched it on my hand because I'm afraid of deep colors on my face and went swimming and it stayed on my hand until I literally scraped it off. The hair treatment is so tiny. I have mixed feelings because I don't know that the face value of this box is any more than exactly $20, but that's why it's a grab bag.

Just two of your products should equal $20.

Ofra is $14.95 and the shaving cream is close to $5.
I'm sorry your product leaked!

I'm interested to try the other stuff, but I agree that that would just make the box for me.

I'm always cynical until I use the products and like them. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I know I like First Aid Beauty so I'm almost the most excited to use that shave cream lol.

 

[lovesmakeup2012]

I really hope I don't get the vBeaute products, because the tubes are pretty much empty.

 

[iugirl13]

I am really hoping today my box comes! The mail always comes so late on Saturday though /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

How frustrating!!!! I would be going crazy!

It's weird that I'm not expected to get mine until around July 9th. Basically it means I could be charged for the JULY box before I event get the JUNE box. That's really disappointing. I'm a little meh on the June box. Not disappointed by any means, but not excited either.
 

 

[mermuse]

I love that people are getting their boxes and I haven't even gotten a shipping notification.  Their shipping habits have been more wonky for me than any other service I've tried.  I'm going to wait a few days before calling, though.  I'm not in a hurry so much as perplexed.
