From reading here, I think you can get them more than once if it's in a diff color, lucky! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Hi! I've been a lurker since March 2012 (when I started receiving birchboxes). I am finally signing up for the forum in hopes of doing some trading/join in on all the discussions.

I was excited to FINALLY receive what I consider a great box, but it still isn't that great for me. I received box #5.

I love the Amika products, but I just bought the travel set off birchbox a couple of weeks ago. I am sure I will get to using these up sometime in the future, but I was hoping to try new products.

The turquoise eyeliner looks lovely, but I am not talented enough to even try with liquid eyeliner.

The Boscia bb cream is a nice sized sample, but I can tell from swatches the color is not a good match for my skin.

Basically, I love this box, but not for me. My dream box was #2 so if anyone has a beauty blender

and wants to do some trading let me know!

Other than that I will hunt down the trading forum to post these items up there.

Anyway, I am really excited to finally be a part of this forum!

My main account is getting Box # 3. Not to stoked on it, all will be going up on my trade list. I really wanted the Skinny Eyeliner, I'm hoping to trade the Stila Glaze for it. But my second account hasn't even been shipped yet. No tracking and the July page hasn't even been updated yet for it.

maybe you'll luck out and get a different color! either way, in theory, you're not supposed to receive the same sample twice, but i'm betting that the system they use to decide what box we're getting isn't perfect, so there's going to be slip ups. i've heard in the past that people who emailed them saying that they got a repeat sample were given 100 points to compensate, might be something you'll want to look in to.

I am getting box #6!

Does anybody know how big the boscia BB cream is?

 

[yanelib27]

The only colors available for purchase on the BB website for the skinny liquid eyeliner are turquoise and olive, not black 

 I guess maybe they sold out last month?

the boscia sample is .35 ounces and it looks like a pretty good size....i will definitely get a few uses out of this

Same here. My first account I'm getting box 26 I believe (i posted earlier) but my 2nd acct, no tracking, and no July page...I'm getting impatient/worried. I really don't want that soap. Lol

Nope.

My account is showing Box 12--but there's a weird thing going on with it?? It shows in the main picture of the box that I'm getting the minteas -- but in the items listed, it shows the larabar instead. Anybody else's doing this??

i'm getting this box too and the same thing is happening to me.

 

[spmblueeyez]

I believe someone further back said the same thing is happening to them, and theyre getting the Larabar, but were worried how the feedback thing is gonna work...i hope it gets fixed for you guys

 

[viccckyhoang]

I have purchased a gift subscription using Birchbox Points. According to their FAQ:

"The $10 reward can only be applied to full-size products, yearly subscriptions and gift subscriptions. Unfortunately, our system isn't set up to use Birchbox Points for monthly subscriptions."

Oh, I see. I checked the mints, and I can't leave feedback for those, so I don't think they're in my box. That's okay, I wanted to try the larabar /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I'm excited about the headphones, the color club polish (I got a neon one a couple of boxes ago, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it), and fragrance ( LOVE Harvey Prince!)

If the eyeko liner is black, I'll be happy with it -- if it is blue, meh. I look so bad with blue liner!

I think it's coming tomorrow or Friday!

Oh, I also wanted to mention-- a lot of people were saying you should set your splurge item as the item you do not want to receive. I had mine set as "the perfect foundation", and I'm getting the moisture tint this month. So, don't think that works??

I had it set as fragrance for the past few months, and I got most of the high-end fragrances--Omni Bvlgari, Annick Goutal, etc. Last month when I switched it to foundation, I got Joya Ames scent instead of Juliette Has a Gun, which is much more expensive.
