(SPOILERS) July Birchbox partners with Glamour Magazine

Birchbox is supposed to be deluxe beauty samples not bars that cost 25 cents at the drugstore. I would cancel rifht now, but I've been billed for July. I wish I could just skip the July box and get the August box.

 Sample Society is the box that had an actual "mini" of the Oscar de la Renta Live in Love perfume. I really like it but it's a shame that BB is only sending out little vials of it. I got a Luna Bar in my Jetset box so I don't want another little bar. Hopefully I get tea for the "taste it" sense. The headphones look really cute, hopefully there's lots of different colors. I could do without blotting papers. To me... they just don't go a long way. That and you can make your own out of gift tissue paper. I personally use Post-It notes because they work AWESOMELY as blotting paper! plus the sticky side picks up lint off your shirt, or you can use them for the sole purpose of writing a note. I don't know, I'm just not WOWed by that particular box so hopefully I get a better one... or should I say, one that is more appealing to me. I didn't like how last month some people got 7 items and others got like 5 or 6. I was one that only got 5. So whether you got good items or not, when it comes to feedback points some people got to get 60 or 70 points while others only got to get 50. That was not fair so hopefully this month will be more even.

I'm sure they will have a ton of different boxes like always. it looks like a cute box, but i'm not sure picky.

I got the mini oscar perfume in SS last month and i would totally take another sample! I thought it smelled like my grandma when i sniffed it- but i LOVE it on! very delicate and not over powering.

i got 5 items last month but I got the full sized stila bronzer, so i'm cool with that. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I'm wondering the same thing. Not like I ever win anything, but I figured at least someone on here would have, haha.

That looks like a great box, but I really want skin care.  Getting makeup items is nice, but purple or green eyeliner just isnt my style.  I've already received the Jouer LMT in both my boxes (not a fan!), so its pretty safe to say I wont get that box.  In the spoiler pictures Glamour is advertising, they show an Ahava product.  I hope I get that!  Give me anything related to skin care or hair care and I'm happy.

 

[marybbryant]

When do the pages start 404ing, and we know how many variations there will be?  I've started checking a couple times a day for Zadidoll's post with the boxes listed.

 

[MissLindaJean]

Oo.. yes, wonder how many box options there will be!

 

[tameloy]

I'm ready to start stalking!

agreed!!! I liked getting the Stila liquid liner because I've never tried liquor liner before, but now it's just repetitive, especially since I rarely wear eyeliner in the summer anyway

 

[lady41]

UGGH I got a ton of the jouer from joyer themselves! lol I am not excited at all for that box!

 

[Naun-Negotiable]

i still haven't got my dirty paws on one of the eyeko liquid liners and i want one! just my luck i will have the only one WITHOUT haha.


(spoilers, highlight to read) what? blotting papers? i thought it was this huge deal to get boscia stuff and their promo pic showed a bottle, not this. hrm. we really need to see those variations!  i guess my second box is safe from reactivation this month anyway /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />


SUPER bummed the oscar perfume is so tiny when other services are very recently giving a deluxe. boo BB

This month looks more than a little lame, but I'll reserve judgment until my two boxes come.

 

[onematchfire]

It looks like the pages are 404ing now. I don't have time right now to see how many there are, though. It looks like a reasonably decent box for July to me. I wouldn't really expect high quality headphones out of a $10 sample box, but they'll probably be an okay back up in a pinch. I like Larabars and Boscia blotters, though they're not really new to me. I'm looking forward to seeing all the variations!

seriously. i am really excited to get full size products every month like i have been but honestly, stila sparkle liner in may and then eyeko fat stick in june. i'm really ready for a new makeup product.

that being said, i'd rather get a full size eyeliner than a crap box and nothing to show for it. full size i can at least trade for something decent.

 

[tameloy]

Did anyone else have any trouble with the eyeko fat stick creasing? I have tried it over so many different primers, shadows, etc. Under, over, and inbetween. I've never had this problem with anything else before. Is it just my eyelids that don't seem to like it?

 Same here! I got the stila sparkle liner and the eyeko fat stick... and like you,  I like both of them but am ready for something new also. maybe a lipgloss or a blush or something.

If I'm doing it right (putting the box #'s at the end, and as long as a 404 page comes up it'll be a box) then it looks like 31 boxes?  When I got to 32 to BB shop page came up.

 

[skylola123]

Last month I received two Eyeko products (a fat stick and a skinny liner) hopefully I do not get repeats and hopefully they send out Stila lip glosses (from a preview picture). I have never tried the Stila lip glosses, so I would love it if I would get one.

The box doesn't look all bad, but its just items that have already been sent in preview boxes.

That's a lot! Hope there's something for everyoneto love! I really am antsy now to see the options!!

 

[MissLindaJean]

I'm guessing the headphones will be in every box, like the Stainiac last month. If they are repeating items, it'd be neat if they did highest rated ones. I'd love to add another Stila lippie or get the Eyeko Skinny Liner! I really want some more Amika! Ladies what are your fave items from past boxes?

 

[Mandy Kane]

wow! 32! i wouldn't get bummed out over 1 pic if there are so many varieties this month /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> who knows what kinds of goodies we haven't seen yet!
