(SPOILERS) July Birchbox partners with Glamour Magazine

[ashleyanner]

Spotify is pretty awesome and I don't think I'd mind getting a moth free.  So I wonder if that means I'll get two months free (if they do include it) since I have two BB accounts?  And two pairs of headphones...I'm just now realizing the possible greatness of getting two boxes.  

 (this little guy seemed appropriate!)

My complaint is spotify is that I can't find a way to use it without connecting to Facebook. I don't need every song I listen to to be plastered all over my timeline/feed/whatever. Anyone have suggestions? I just use Grooveshark instead.

I have an account that isn't connected to Facebook so there has to be a way to sign up w/o FB.  but I know there is a way where you can turn off the updates etc.  almost all apps and 3rd party programs that connect to facebook allow you to control how much info you send to your feed.

Yuck if i get the Stila Lip gloss in July, it will most definitely be up for trade. I cannot stand lip gloss.

Yep, there's an option to turn off the facebook updates on it.  I'm the same way and I don't think any of my music has shown up on it...at least nobody's complained about it yet!

Here's how you do it:  Open Spotify.  Yeah, you'll have to sign into Facebook, but that's the price of free music.  Then click on your name in the upper righthand corner, and then click on "Private Session."  You have to do this every time you start a new Spotify session, but now your feed won't show what you're listening to.

Anyone think we'll get some girly bedazzled ear buds? lol..either way, I'm all for not having to buy myself another pair! I kind of like the idea of a free month of music and some buds..also I don't mind that they're redistributing stuff from previous boxes, because some of the items are faves or I never scored..kind of cool IMO

I am not a fan of Stila's lip gloss.  Way too sticky and goopy and I hate the twist up brush applicators.  I love pretty much everything else Stila though, just not their gloss.  I'll be trading mine as well.

I feel the same way, it will go to my sister if I get it.

Uh oh... I got a Luna Bar in my June box and now I might get another little bar in this box?!?! I'm hoping for tea instead. I got that Oscar Live in Love perfume sample in my SS box. I like it but now I may get another one in my BB so hopefully I'll get a different perfume sample instead. I got the full size Stila eyeliner in my Gossip Girl box and got the Eyeko Fat stick in my June box so I'm hoping I don't get another freakin' eyeliner! I'm actually hoping for the lipgloss, LOL! Earbuds would be great since I do a lot of walking and jogging (and 5k runs). Overall though... I am actually pretty excited for the July box and if all else fails, there's always trades, LOL!

 

[theredwonder]

I'm so excited for this box. I cancelled my SS sub, so I'm happy to get the Oscar perfume; I heard really good things about it. I'm not a huge fan of Stila glosses either because of the applicator, but I like the way they feel on my lips. I'm up to my ears in headphones, but it's always nice to have extras to stash in different bags so I'm never without. I think these items, plus the points we get for reviewing, will definitely make this a worthwhile box!

 

[manuri]

I'm excited about the headphones! My earphone broke on on side of the ear and I needed to get another pair but now I don't have to get one.

 

[TXSlainte]

I think the earbuds are an awesome idea! I'm really hoping they're in all of the boxes next month

 

[meaganola]

I'm really hoping that part of the "custom design" will involve smaller earbuds.  I had an amazing pair with fantastic sound that fit me perfectly, but they were a casualty of the kittens (and I believe they are now discontinued because I for them on clearance from Amazon, which usually means they're no longer being made), and the pair I'm using now (which I will continue to use until they, too, are decapitated) are just a bit too large for my ears, so they don't fit snugly or angle correctly, which means the sound isn't the greatest, but if I force them into place, my ears hurt because it turns out they're tiny (they're pretty much the *only* parts of me that are tiny).

have you ever bought a pair of earbuds that came with replacement rubber bits? they usually include a larger set and a smaller set for people with different ear shapes. like this pair, if you scroll down it shows a picture of the sizes included

I feel the same way. Maybe those of us who were unlucky and did not receive the hot item at the time can get it this time around.

Me too!! (Just not bubble gum pink or hot pink.)

Personally I love trying new fragrances because I have never used a whole bottle that I own.

And the Birchbox trading thread is great for when a person has two samples of the same.

I know people do not want to get two items of the same but Birchbox doesn't know us personally. Birchbox can't know that we have received an item from another beauty subscription. If I do find myself with an item that I have gotten twice I just go over to the trading thread and there are a lot of people who are trading. Or if trading is not an option then fill a box with samples or even full size items. I was in a gift exchange and saved many samples in a box and gave it as a gift and she loved it. Its a cute and fun way to give something to a friend or family member. 

I have made great trades with items I hated but other people wanted and loved.

Well, that would suck if we got earbuds or a least for me it would. I'm really hard of hearing. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
