My husband threw away the carton but I got:

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

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!

I had Holika Holika Shimmering BB cream which I  traded and it was quite fair. Paler than Skin79 BB creams. I traded for the Missha #23 which was too dark for her, but the Holika worked great for her and she is fair.

LOL, I can try telling her but she does so many things that baffles me.  Example, she NEVER throws out her mascara.  She still had some from the 80's.  THE 1980's!  I threw those out ASAP when I found them and she was protesting the whole time that they were still ok to use! 

She does know that the 80's were 30 years ago??

Luv luv everybody's post. Going through this forum every month is almost as fun as receiving my box. A quick question for all the bb professionals. So I have 2 subs under my email address. Ive received 1 ship notice for delivery on the 16th. On my account it shows the 1 box ( which it only showed the one last month too). But under the feedback methods, I could leave feedback for both boxes. Now it's only showing feedback buttons for the 1 box. Does this mean I got 2 of the same boxes? Or do you think I have to wait for the 2nd ship notice for them to upload the feedback buttons. I'm hoping not to have twin boxes but if I do, does anyone want to trade for a box # 6. Thanks all, your the best!!!

Yes, she does!

Has anyone received the Stila Eyeshadow palette that are in boxes 13, 14 and 18?  I'd really love to see pics from anyone who has, thanks!

(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)

Literally the EXACT same thing happened to me. Thought I was getting 15 but got 3. 

I called and while they couldn't replace the box (i was bummed because I really wanted it!), they comped my august box so you get a free  box from it. Make sure you call!

Also, the stila gloss is actually a pretty shade and the larabar is YUMMY! Good luck!

I still haven't received a ship notice on my 2nd account, and when I log in to bb it shows my may box which is the last one I got on that acct....my box didn't load on my first acct until a couple of days after it shipped. Mine are on different email addresses though, so it might be different.

 

[lovelockdown]

My box has been in town since the 9th and hasn't moved, myglam uses the same company and they hold that one for almost a week EVERY time as well. =/ I wonder why they do that. Beauty Army and the look bag use a different company and I never have that problem with their boxes...hmmm...

 

[Shauna999]

Thanks so much for your reply. I'm hoping when we wake up in the morning, our 2nd ship notices will be in our inboxes. A perfect way to start the day /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Has anyone who recieved the jouer had their's not filled? Like barely enough for your cheek? Im really hoping my mail man didnt like open my box, use it, then reseal it, because its totally not his shade!

 

[monicabenavidez]

This will be my first month on BB, and it looks like I'll be getting box 27. Was really hoping for some eye makeup, but we'll see how it goes. I am the least excited about those headphones- I have plenty.

It sounds like what happened with the Dr. Jart in May.  I emailed customer service and they sent me 2 more half-filled bottles as a replacement 2 weeks later.  Someone earlier in the thread mentioned reaching out to their twitter feed.  The email support can take a few days.  

I'm getting the Jouer too... hopefully mine is fuller.

 

[princess2010]

I got the Jouer in like February or sometime around there and I remember it being REALLY small but really full. The little container lasted a while.

 

[elviscupcake]

My little sisters box shipped on the 9th and she already got it! I know because they sent me the confirmation since I got the sub as a birthday gift for her. She got her box today. This seems nuts, we are on the West Coast and my box shipped three days before hers and won't be here until tomorrow. No clue how that happened. ALSO super WEIRD. She definitely got some sort of welcome box, but it is not one of the ones shown I don't think, it is one of last months boxes exactly. She got the stainiac, band aids, melvita rose water, the Flor y Canto fragrance by Arquiste, and the Borghese bar soap. I don't recall seeing this one as one of the welcome boxes that were shown in the spoiler where we saw the stainiac.

Hmmm I guess all the Holika Holika BB creams are light. So if anyone here is looking for a lighter BB cream, there it is. I also tried BRTC Vitalizer Laser Aid Multi BB Cream, &  it is pretty fair. Maybe a tad darker than the Holika.

Yeah like to add MAC lustre drops to many of my BB creams to give a nice glow and add a little color.

That would be awesome! I go to work at 6am so I'm always stalking my email there lol. I'll keep my fingers crossed for both of us

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

Still too slow for my impatient butt. 

Forever loving this slug/snail emoticon.

On another note off topic sorry..Anyone try the new Biolage Exquisite oil Treatment?

I don't think it's even available in most salons but I got a hold of some (actually selling 2 bottles.)

I think it's a total dupe for Kerastase Elixir Ultime which I love. It's used as a hair treatment, hair oil, and heat protectant.

So far I like it and it's half the price. Anyone else try it & how do you like it?
