I'm really annoyed that they seem to be going out of their way to keep everything under wraps. It kills a lot of the fun.

Totally agree.  I hope they are monitoring what subscribers are saying around the web and let a little more leak through.  Zadi's list of boxes prior to knowing what was in ours was perfect.  If they just leak a few products via the video sneak peek, that annoys some subscribers because it's such a little representation of what could be in the boxes and then a few expect that they'll get at least one of the few shown products and get disappointed, a la the Gossip Girl box.  I'm one of the ones that really enjoys the hidden gems, things like, "Oh, I got that? hmm" and then kapow!  It's a repeat buy item for me that I NEVER would have found on my own.

Again, from the video I'm not wowed.  I'll have to see box pictures to see if I get more excited like last month.

On another note, I hope no one has a severe nut allergy. :/

Man, i dont know what it is but liquid black liners just dont look good on me! I don't know if I'm just too picky with my lines or what, but did seem like it had great staying power and precision from the swatch....I was excited at first to get the eyeko skinny in my second bb but after it sat around untouched for almost a month, I finally caved in and traded it for another stila sparkle liquid liner, which i love for some reason......its the only liquid liner I've actually used regularly!!! very excited, i already own rock candy and now soon to be starry

On another note, I too will be trading my headphones that i assume well all be getting! I rarely use headphones and have a great pair for when i do!!

Im sincerely hoping that well be able to see pics of the box variations before the 10th like we used to be able to see on zadis blog....since they weren't available last month do you guys think they caught onto our snooping trick? Not to mention the feedback method wasnt as accurate last month either..... Irk maybe I should just let myself be completely surprised for once!!! Haha I guess ill see how long that thought will prevail

That's weird!  The feedback thing worked perfectly for me last month for both my subs!

Hey ladies- I'm thinking about starting up my BB sub again, and was wondering if you guys knew-

1) If I sign up today, will I still get the July box?

2) If so, what's rumored to be in the July boxes? There's 22 pages on this thread- Please give me a quick run down /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I did this last month around the 15th and got the June box. But I'm not sure if you will if it's a new account.

GOT MY SHIPPING NOTICE!!!!

 

[MuNut72]

Eeek!  Just got my notice that my box has shipped! 

 

 

[MissMonica]

Just received my shipping notice for one of my boxes...can't wait!  I hope I don't wind up with too many repeats since I already have the alterna and the perfume--but if I do, I'm sure my sister will be pumped to get my doubles!

 

[Beautybabe090]

Is anyone else super excited for those headphones?

What is everyone's opinion?  Did you like last month where the boxes were a surprise?  Or do you prefer seeing the box variations?

I personally prefer seeing all of the box variations.  I love making my "wish" list & hoping for certain boxes more than others.  I have loved all of my boxes, but can understand how some get box envy.  However sometimes after reading reviews on items I thought I wanted (& didn't get...) I am glad I didn't.  Also, more times than not, I get to try something I would not have picked & love it!!!  I think that there will always be box envy & it doesn't matter if we get a sneak peek or not --- sometimes the grass seems greener on the other side.  I REALLY WANT to see the box variations!  Last month was not as much FUN!  By the time we could see the box variations, we already knew what we were getting.  Honestly I didn't look at all of the other products, I didn't get excited over anything in particular & I didn't even keep up with the thread last month.  For me not being able to see the box variations takes out the anticipation & FUN factor (and it becomes just a box of samples).  That is my opinion, what is yours?

I totally agree with you. I think one of the things that was most fun for me was to go through the boxes and pick out the ones I really wanted, the ones I wouldn't mind getting, and the ones I didn't want. It was not fun to do it once I got the box and then saw the variations. I wonder why they work so hard to keep a secret? You think they would like us talking all about them on the internet! Cannot wait to see this month list of  variations!

I actually am! I think they are really cute! I don't care if they are cheap since I am bound to lose them pretty quickly anyways!

Also so excited people are getting shipping notices! 

 

[koolcryyss]

Is it just me or does it seem like the boxes ship out earlier each month?

I really like see whats in the boxes too! I make a wish list and I know I really want the BB Boscia (I have their whole line...) but would also love to try the Stilla liner. I think all the items in this boox look good and I will use them all; I already have the Alterna items (from a trade) but my daughter uses them.

YAY got my shipping notice too! So happy too because the past few months my shipping notice never came, or came days after getting my box. I'm currently away with family and switched my address to the PO Box where I'm at so it'll be nice to be able to track it /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Oh my god you totally caught me.  I was looking for feedback buttons on the new items, didn't find any, closed that window, and came back here!  Definitely caught red-handed!  LOL!
