Is it okay if you pm me your ebay name?  I'd definitely bid on your sample lots.

I, personally, can't wait to see the sheer variety that will be in 31? boxes!  As for the Jouer, I'm a little surprised Birchbox is sampling that size again because I thought they caught a lot of flack for the tiny size when they sampled it before.

Another box this month is sampling it as well, but it's a much bigger sample size than the BB one.  Don't want to spoil it for anyone who gets the other box and is wanting to be surprised so I put this in a spoiler - Sample Society.  Their sample seems to be at least double the amount.  But they are a $15 sub rather than a $10 one . . . 
I like having extra headphones, even funky ones.  The iPhone ones hurt my ears so I don't use mine.  A very sweet guy at the electronics store in the Miami airport gave me an extra unused set of the rubber tips for these type headphones from his own iPhone case when I went in there to buy some and they didn't have any.  That was an awesome random act of kindness.  Gotta love those!

i still have one to trade that isn't on my tradelist. i traded for it as a backup/future trades (after i traded away my 2nd one anyway, yeesh) and it is incoming~

That made me lol...you traded one away and then traded to get one. I have a bunch of unopened stuff from past Birchboxes that I'd trade in a heartbeat for that bronzer, but I'm out of town for the summer. My only hope is that there were some leftover that will make their way into a few July boxes.

agreed about the Jouer. I really was excited to try the product but it arrived in a completely disappointing size and I've never even used it. unfortunately for Jouer, I scored illuminating face powder and illuminating liquid tint from Victoria's Secret during the semi annual sale for around $3 a piece so I won't be in the market to even want to buy the full size and try it since I now have 2 different types of illuminating products to last me awhile.

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?

Some repeats I missed, but would love to see in these boxes:

- Algenist or By Terry products

- Pangea Lip Balm, or any skin/face products (heard the lip balm was awesome, though, a friend got one)

- more AHAVA - I had the moisturizer, which I LOVED, but read that all of their stuff was pretty good

- Apothoderm stretch mark cream - lawd knows I need it!

- Tarte or Sugar lip stuff 

- blinc mascara

And I know it's not a repeat, but they can't just waive a Ben & Jerry's logo in front of me and expect me to forget about it, lol.

 Me too! But I didn't get the stila bronzer either :icon_cry: . Oh well... I guess you win some and you lose some. That's just how these work and it's to be expected I guess, lol! I have to just hope for the best box and expect the worst box. That way if I get one in the middle, I'm still happy. If I get the worst box... at least I was already expecting it. If I get the best box, YAY! ha ha!

I've been kind of expecting the worst box as well. It really seems to help a lot!

Sure! I'll message it to you now. I don't do it often, but I do have some in my closet that I'm planning on listing sometime within the next month.

those of you with 2 subs, do you use the same CC? I have 2 subs and it originally took out both $10.00 payments as seperate charges on my bank statement, but now it looks like only 1 is pending? I got both of my subs just fine last month. I has a confused.

 

[MissLindaJean]

I use the same CC info and have had no issues whatsoever..but BB is reliable in that sense lol, unlike some other companies.

hmmm maybe it's just an error on my online statement. i'll just keep an eye on it and see what happens over this week. i went on my accounts and both were still signed up for the subscription service *shrug*

Whoohooo! Melvita is sending me samples. They originally told me no because the cs agent who replied to my e-mail misunderstood and thought I was only interested in acne treatment. I replied back and said I had said organic OR geared toward acne. I got an e-mail today saying they will be in the maiil

 I use PayPal for both subs. No glitches so far.

I think she means she got the VS version. I don't think they carry Jouer.

Has anyone not been charged for their box this month?  BB is pretty consistent in their billing so I wondered if it is just me or others affected.

      I have a pending charge but it has not actually posted to my account yet.  Hope that helps.
