I hope I don't get the Oscar Sample, since I already have the mini from Sample Society, but even if I do get it, it's alright.

All in all I'm happy with Birchbox and I think it's fun when they pair up with companies to do theme boxes like they have been doing.

So am I! I can't wait to get headphones /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I saved money up and bought the Lady Gaga beats but were stolen from me at my school /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

And now I am headphone-less and hopefully we will get some

Aww! I had a similar experience at school, my iPod was stolen. Now I NEVER let things out of my sight and tend not to bring expensive items like that anywhere.

My stinkin' iPod earbuds are horrible. They always die within a couple months!

I may be in the minority in saying I like LARAbars, Lunabars and the like. Some of the flavors are icky though.

Those do seem to be leftovers. I was going to activate my second account but now I am not so sure...

Same here, but I just have no clue how someone took them out of my backpack. Really sucks because you save the money up and then someone just takes it like its not big deal. 

I am sorry about your iPOD 

And I usually give the food items to my mom she loves them. 

 

[onematchfire]

I like Larabars, too. I'm going to cross my fingers that I get the Boscia BB sample. It's my go to BB, and I'd love to have a travel size.

One thing about Spotify and downloading that most people complaining about getting downloads of music in genres they don't like don't seem to realize:  Spotify is, ahem, not restrictive.  You want biographies of science fiction authors presented as death metal?  Search for "Bloodhag."  Yodeling?  They have Swiss, American, Cowboy, and generic.  They have Billboard's Hot 100, and they have my friend Jason's obscure slowcore band from the late-'90s.  They have over two dozen versions of "Danse Macabre," a classical piece I became familiar with as the theme song to a British mystery series called _Jonathan Creek_.  You name it, they may very well have it (they don't have some of the local bands I listened to in the early '90s, but they have so much other stuff that I don't mind *still* not being able to track down any Completely Grocery or Killing Field.  OH MY GOD WAIT THEY *DO* HAVE KILLING FIELD!  I haven't heard this band in twenty years.  The lead singer looked exactly like Keanu Reeves.  Spotify, I love you).  I think its inclusion is being driven by _Glamour_ because they have multiple Spotify playlists on the service right now, and it looks like it's a regular feature in their magazine and/or on their website.

And I'm really, really looking forward to the headphones.  I buy them at least five (cheap, although they're usually only cheap because Amazon has them on clearance) pairs at a time because they have a tendency to last four months at the most between me stepping on them and my kittens chewing the cords.

Also, items may be leftovers, but they most likely won't be leftovers *for you* because Birchbox pledges to never repeat samples for individual people.  They might mess up and send a duplicate once in a while, but I have yet to receive a duplicate in a specific account (getting duplicates because you have multiple subs don't count here), and I've been a subscriber for over a year.

This is good info to keep in mind. I'm still a new-ish subscriber (since March) but haven't had problems with duplicates. I hope that Birchbox continues to keep this pledge!

Yeah, that's why I sort of don't get the "but it's all leftover!" complaints, simply because it won't be leftover for you, unless you have many multiple accounts. I'm looking forward to the box. I almost always dislike the previews but then get really excited with my box, so even though nothing stands out here to me, I'm still looking forward to July!

Also, if there *are* leftovers, there are some I would be more than happy with, like those teas in the silver packets, Pangaea lip balm, and the Nuxe multi-purpose oil.  Oh, and the Ourofluido hair oil.  I *still* haven't had that in any of my boxes.

NICE!  I hope I get a stila product, I have so many lotions and cremes, I am plain sick of them! Come on Glamour, do us proud

 

 

[jbird1175]

I wish there were spoilers like this for every month because I am impatient and have become slightly obsessed with my Birchboxes. I would welcome another Stila product and would love a pair of ear buds. I hope for the love of baby Jesus I do not get another perfume sample vial. 

 

[CaliMel]

That makes me so sad that people stole your headphones and Ipod! UGH. =(

Well I hope you get your headphones!

I had a really nice pair but then the cord ripped off of the audio jack, and they don't repair them at the company.

I got lucky and got a pair of Sol Republics in the Ellen Audience that are pretty awesome. But I don't like wearing regular headphones out in public/the gym because they're just too big.

Plus earbuds get messed up pretty easily so it's super nice to have extra pairs!

I wish I could afford to re-activate my second account for next month!

Me too! Although, I guess for the people who are disappointed, I kind of see their point that they've already seen it here, so it's not as new and exciting. I'm always happy that I get another chance at getting something I missed out on the first go-round. I'm pretty easy to please, I guess, though. To me, I'm spending $10 a month to get a surprise in the mail. I don't really care if it's always something I'll use, because it's fun to be surprised. There's always something good, and I'm like you, I might not be thrilled about something but when I get the actual item in my hands I'm super excited!

You were on the Ellen show?!!

I hope all boxes will include the headphones, if they are in our July boxes. I would hate to see someone else get some nice headphones and not me, even if I am still getting my money's worth. I would also be happy with either the stila lip gloss or the eyeliner. I got the jumbo pencil last box and am horrible at figuring out how to get it to look good. It's very smudgy so you don't need a lot. Of course I'm not great with liquid liner. I need more practice. I basically just know how to tightline and apply pencil liner to my waterline, but would love to perfect a cat eye. I have a problem with sunken in eyes or whatever you call it. It's hard for me to figure out where the liner should go for a cat eye and when I open my eyes sometimes my eye makeup gets transferred onto my brow bone.

 

[OiiO]

I'm pretty sure the headphones will be the core product in our boxes, I forgot where I read it but they specifically said that everyone will be getting a pair.

[TXSlainte]

but yeah, it's going to be kind of a bummer if some people get $20+ stila products for the "see it" category, and other people get $8 nail polishes for theirs. ideally we'd all be getting both lol

Sadly, this happens just about every month..

 

[jac a]

super excited for july!

 

[Eva Papoutsi]

I'd love to get the headphones! I also never received a BB cream, or an eyeko (neither fat stick nor liner) and I haven't gotten a stila product since January, so I hope I get at least one of these!

About the rest of the senses (items) in my box, I don't really mind/care what I get... I just hope they don't send me another facial moisturizer/sunscreen.. I have a bunch already! I'd prefer something for the hair or body!!

 

[PeridotCricket]

I get earbuds at BestBuy. They work for my iPod and my phone. I have a Muve Music phone by Cricket Wireless. I do need Spotify.
