I got my boxxxxx!!! Projected delivery date was 7/16 which bummed me out since I live so close to where BB ships from but I got it today! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> My husband threw away the carton but I got:

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

The headphones, lemongrass mints, Annick Goutal Eau de H'adrien perfume sample, Bosica BB cream deluxe sample, full-sized Stila Lip Glaze in "Action", and a color club nail polish in "Blue-Ming" I like everything honestly! I'm not sure if the nail polish is fs or not, it doesn't have info in how much is in the bottle but I believe it's not fs which is alright. I was happy got get the BB sample, unfortunately it's about 3 shades too dark /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Anyone hab a rec for a super super pale BB cream? I tried most at Sephora but nothing is light enough for me. I want to order from Skin79 or Leolie but I don't know which one would be a possible match. The perfume smell really, really good, I'll def use the sample. The fs lip glaze is nice, not my color per se but maybe I'll swap it or give it away! Overall I'm very very pleased this month! Last month was okay but this box is great!

When I got my first box in april, it was an intro box. I wasnt thrilled with it, actually it was my worst box. the best part was the kerestase sample.

even the people who are just saving them as an emergency pair, aren't they kind of useless if it sounds like you're listening to your music through a tin can?

They sound fine to me. Just like my Apple headphones. Nothing fancy but plays music. Mine definitely did not sound like I was listening to music through a tin can. I'm not picky though. I usually use Motorola bluetooth headphones that wrap around the back of the head. These sound the same. They aren't Dr. Dre Beats but good.

The Dr.Jart is SUPER Pale and does not look good on my NC35 skintone, so it might work for you!

I think everybody. I know I did when I started and I had two subs then canceled one and restarted it last month. For the second sub I got a welcome box.

If you started during a curated box then it probably would have been that box. Everyone got Gossip Girl boxes, even newbies, but when I started in January I got the leftovers just like the welcome boxes we see this month.

Skin79 SuperPlus BB VIP Gold is pretty light. It actually goes on greyish and then completely blends in with my skin tone. This one is lighter than the Hot Pink BB.  The Skin79 site has sample sachets--I just checked though, they used to be cheaper than they are now.  I've seen it on the trade threads.

I don't think mine was a welcome box - it was just last month, so I'm not sure if they just didn't have any last month?

I LOVE the perfume too! It is the only perfume that I have enjoyed so far. I finally finished the small vial and I am contemplating buying the full size. I find most scents to be too floral or fruity and though this one had lemony, clean scent, did not smell like a cleaner...LOL! Wish they had a rollerball version of the scent...

 I never ever finish an entire bottle and even the rollerball sizes sometimes don't get used up...

I really wish my Birchbox would get out of Austin and come to me! Lol

I hope the Boscia BB Cream isn't too dark for me. Anybody want to swatch it?

I received those also. I think they are nice size.

Hmm, I use Dr Jarts and I definitely don't have pale skin... Check out Pretty Gossip's blog. She does a lot on bb creams..

(On a side note, the Jouer Moisture Tint I got in box #3 is the same size as the one I got on my other Birchbox subscription last month, both are 0.07 oz instead of .17 oz like I saw some people got. weird)

Oh no!!! I haven't gotten my box yet but the site shows that I'm getting box 15 and now I'm worried I'll get a different box! Dang, I'm really hoping for my box 15! Fingers crossed that I'll get the box I'm expecting!

Well, hi neighbor!

My est. delivery date is the 16th but it usually gets here before the date they say.

Still too slow for my impatient butt.

It would definitely help you to check out swatches of BB creams on google and youtube! I have tried a few and I think that the lightest is the Skin79 Super Plus Triple Function BB Vital cream (in the orange bottle).. the oriental gold and the pink one were darker/greyish. The Dr.Jart is also pretty light, but not as much as the Skin79 Vital one! I hope that helps a little!
