(SPOILERS) July Birchbox partners with Glamour Magazine

[Dockmaster]

So I guess I am getting box 3, 10 or 30 - they are the same, but I think the difference is the color of lip gloss maybe.  My daughter is getting #4.  The daughter absolutely refuses to have anything to do with makeup, so I will trade somethings with her and have what I want. 

 

[CarmenVF]

Same here!! Grrr. My box is meh. I hope they give us points for the repeat item.

I'm in the same boat. I wonder if the color will be something other than BB pink and therefore not considered a duplicate.

 

[cjeanette]

I am getting box 11, which is the one I wanted the most!  This is the first time I am getting the box I wanted!!  Not that I am not happy with my other boxes, but it is great to really want every item!!!!!

I have to say that staying ignorant of what others are receiving in their boxes makes for a better experience. I find myself not even glancing at what other boxes contain because it simply doesn't matter (although for those who choose to go through the effort of trading, it makes sense). A pink box shows up in my mailbox once a month and I geek out for a minute, then use the samples. Sometimes my sister and I swap products, but that's the extent of my knowledge about what other subscribers are getting.

This month it's Box 16 (according to the other thread) and it's got some things I never would have thought to try before but I'm anxious to get to, which seems to happen every month. I don't get as bowled over when UD, Stila, etc. show up because I already know I like those brands. The tough part is now deciding what to purchase with my built-up points.

I have to completely agree! The first two months, I was just happy to see a pink box sitting in my mailbox and I was a happy camper trying out products sent to me and completely oblivious to what others got. I accidentally stumbled upon this forum and all that sort of changed. But, on the other hand, I am very glad that I have the possibility of trading away items that don't work for me here....

I'm just north of Austin, so after it hits the Austin facility, it reaches my PO the next day usually. Hopefully anyway because I go out of town Friday for 2 weeks!! I'll have 4 sample boxes and various purchases and swaps coming during that time...BF said he'll stack my packages on my desk for me to open when I return, but I'm not sure I want him to see all of it accumulate LOL!!!!

 

[MakeupGalore]

Damn! I'm getting the same two boxes of both accounts. Box #7.... Ah well, guess that's the risk I take

 

[murflegirl]

Box 6! I'm excited!

Tea Forte minteas - have ALWAYS wanted to try these!
Annick Goutal Eau d'Hadrien - LOVED the last Annick Goutal scent they sent out, hope I love this one too!
Color Club Summer Pastels Collection - nail polish junkie here. I ain't even mad.
Boscia B.B. Cream - !!!!! Excited to try this!
Stila It's Go Time Lip Glaze - Not a super fan of Stila lipglazes, but excited to receive this nonetheless. Is this the full size or the mini size?
Ear Buds - I have a Maine Coon. He eats earbuds like cat food.

 

[koolcryyss]

YES tracking info FINALLLLY updated... not like its been two days or anything... should be here tomorrow or friday!

 

[Dockmaster]

I am just happy I am not getting box #28-the punishment box!!  Guess I have been a a good sample box girl, so no punishment for me!!

LOL! Same here. I have to stay elsewhere for a month, while my husband is at our apartment and I SOO did not want him to see how many packages and boxes I got in a month. I asked him to send all the boxes I receive my way and the first thing I heard was....''Man!! These are a lot of packages!! Why do you need so much of cosmetics??! Now I know why it takes you so long to get dressed!'' 

 

[pinkdiamonds]

I'm happy I'm getting box 1. Yay - no food items!

 

[koolcryyss]

Does anyone know if the boscia blotting sheets are full size?

Featured Products from this Month's Box 13

Jouer Lip Enhancer

Tea Forté® minteas - 3 pack

Klorane Shampoo with Chamomile

Color Club® Summer Pastels Collection

Juliette Has a Gun Lady Vengeance - 50 ml

stila in the garden eyeshadow palette

Birchbox Exclusive Earbuds






So... I got lucky 13.  

Originally I had wanted to get either the Boscia BB Cream or the Eyeko (so I could trade for the Boscia BB Cream, lol).  While it figures my box had neither, I'm okay with this box, I do love the Jouer lip enchancer sample. I have one from Jouer direct and it's running low.  Good stuff!  

Shampoo is always cool.  I personally have no issues with the Stila being a sample card.  And was curious about the Juliette Has a Gun fragrances.  Ear buds are fun, I never complain about their extra.  I think it's a cute idea most months.  

Basically, I use everything in my box and other than the Jouer, it's all new for me.   For $10.  Go Birchbox.

(Does anyone else almost type Bi*chBox everytime.  It's no bueno that the 'r' and 't' are next to each other on the keyboard, lol...)

I swear i love this time of month where i can come home from work (..partially at work) and come on here to read the pages of spoilers! Mostly i'm like "it's at page what?? DAMN!" you girls move quick.

I couldn't resist.. i went to my second account (2 of 2) and used the Feedback Method (somehow felt more innocent then giving in and clicking "Box"..right....) to see if I got the Jouer Moisture tint (already received in other sub and did not care for)... well i did get it. So then, I had to know if i got the Stila Lip Gloss (DID NOT want..at all). When i didn't see that.. i had to check if it got the Blinc mascara (already have full size, do not use often).. and when i didn't have THAT, I had to be sure i had the coveted Eyeko skinny liquid liner, I DID! so excited. I really hope i get it in black or else i will trade it for black.

My box was:

Birchbox July 2012: Box 4

1. Jouer Luminizing Moisture Tint (ehhh)
2. boscia Green Tea Blotting Linens (YES.. have almost bought 3 times.)
3. Eyeko Skinny Liquid Eyeliner (YESSS. only thing i wanted this month. hopefully black)
4. Oscar de la Renta live in love (not sure, we'll see)
5. LÄRABAR über (yum i love this stuff. hopefully no peanuts, highly allergic)
6. Birchbox Exclusive Earbuds (boyfriend bought me skulll candy and he has bose.. not sure how i feel about neon, but i'll use them. i want to start going to the gym. ok cool i just typed-and-found a reason to want them!)

Shipped Monday, 7/9/12 with shipping info:

Weight (lbs.):

Projected Delivery Date:

The tracking won't update past 8 a.m. this morning, but by past-box-experience, will be here tomorrow along with my oldest account, which i refused to peek on.

SOO excited. now i still have like 9 pages to catch up on O.O!!!!!

 

[redfox]

Getting box #22 according to the BB site. It's okay, I guess. I've heard the bronzer if for darker skinned people though and I'm quite fair so I don't know about all that. The mascara is... meh. We shall see.

 

[amblingalp]

Very true about some products just not working for particular people. If the stars align and someone else has the same problem and you can help each other out, I think that's cool.
 

Until I started reading some comments in here, I never realized people had multiple BB accounts. Kinda smart!

[bwgraham]

I probably sound so ungrateful right now, but I'm getting Box 2 (weight: 0.5220 lbs) >_<...the one that I was hoping I didn't get! Ughhh....I'm starting to really dislike these sponsored boxes because they've been NOTHING like the Teen Vogue boxes and just a huge disappointment, not to mention...it makes Glamour look like crud (pardon the language) because Birchbox is sending out repeat products. If you're interested in trading ENTIRE boxes (especially ones with the Boscia BB cream or eyeko), please PM me soon. If I don't find a trader, I'll have individual items up for trade too!~ Thank you! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  Also-sorry for the ranting!
