I agree, especially since they went into SO MUCH talking about cute the bottle is. I have a deluxe sample from the Sample Society, and I don't like it much (grassy smells don't work with my body chemistry, which is sad because I like them when I'm not wearing them). I'd be happy to trade if you want!

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. :/

Good point! yikes!

It seems that every time my box ships early, I get the crap boxes too (lowest value, stuff that nobody will even trade for, lol - like the blender cleanser).  I know that it's all a crapshoot, but I was super excited NOT to get a shipping notice today.

The month before I was later and got the full-sized Stila eyeliner. I know that there is no logic to believing that my box might be better this month just because it's a bit later, but for some reason I just feel better.  Plus I like to see everyone else begin getting their stuff first!!

That's what I've heard, too. I dunno if it's true but hey, if getting a later shipping notice even has the possibility of a "better" box, I am all for it. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Just wondering how long is it between shipping waves? I've always been in the first wave so never really paid attention. Just wondering!!

I used to get the "Early" waves of boxes but after my GG box I was so pissed I changed my whole profile and then this past box was the best one i've got. I got stainiac and the eyeko skinny black eyeliner. So, I think if your boxes do ship later you get a better box. I know that is how it has worked for me since October 2011.

im so excited  for the eyeliner, lip gloss, and the earbuds!

 

[Jess Bailey]

haven't gotten my shipping notice yet but that's ok since i'll be out of town until the 18th.  still trying to talk myself out of looking at all of the boxes, too.

 

[samvanz12]

I am dying of anticipation over here.  It's only my second box, and I had a decent experience with my first (I got the stila bronzer, which I surprisingly love.)  I'm going on vacation for a week next Saturday, and I might cry if I don't get my box before then.  Cross your fingers for me!

Anyone who is looking for a really good quality pair of earbuds , I have  a brand new pair of Polk Audio Ultra Fit 3000 that were gifted to me, I just tested them to make sure they work. They retail for $100.  They come with several different sizes and styles  of silicone ear bud pieces and adapters and carrrying case.  They do have a small hook that goes over the back of the ear.  I would swap them for the right order.  The sound quality is excellent.  Let me know if you are interested.

 

[koolcryyss]

UGHH why does july 10th seem so far away?

Im pretty much pumped for everything... i'm a good candidate for beauty boxes because i love food, like little extras, perfume, and other random stuff! i just like to keep an open mind and just try everything /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[koolcryyss]

Oh and this will be my third month with BB, the first month my box got lost for a couple of weeks halfway accross the country, and it took forever for them to get back to me about it.

 

[Linabunnie]

I saw The Mini lara bars at costo. I almost bought them, then I remembered I hated them. I think I just got excited because I saw something from my last bb lol

 Didn't someone say last month that that tends to be the trend? Items that are lower in cost and more frequent tend to go out first and items that are more expensive and less frequent go out towards the end? I have no idea if that's true but I thought someone said that is what usually happens.

I feel the same way for some reason when I get an early shipment notice my box always seems to be the worst one. When my box comes later I get products I want. Not sure of its proven but in my case it seems so. No shipment notice yet on either box and I'm happy with that.

Well, I just got my shipping notice. Based on everyone's comments that means I'm going to get a box that lacks the big ticket items? 

As much as I dislike the theory, from my own experiences this seems to be the case.  The only box that was really amazing was my first month when I got my box shipped in the middle of the month.

Hmmmm.... I would have thought that another month of tweaking my profile would make it better.  But the only things that I ever really change are my "lust" item. I like keeping the fact that I'm interested in organic products, sun protection products, hyperpigmentation, and aging.  But I also want to have some of the fun items too!

i wouldn't say it's totally accurate.

last month my box shipped on the second day of shipping and received the stila bronzer. but, who knows, though.

 

[Pattycakes]

I don't know.... I'm pretty grouchy about this month's previews.   Hopefully I'll be "wow"ed.  And, I repeat:  Earbuds = straight. to. the tradelist.    Fingers crossed for eyeliner!

 

[murflegirl]

Can't wait for Birchbox! I haven't received a shipping notice yet but hopefully all of the boxes are awesome. 

I'm ok with earbuds - I have a Maine Coon and that's like their favorite food. 

I got the eyeliner last month but I would NOT BE MAD if I got it again. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I don't know how excited I am for this month yet. But with a possible 36 boxes I don't think the few sneak peeks we've had are enough to really form an opinion. I do know that out of the things we've seen, I don't want the Eyeko liner but would love the pink Stila gloss, the one in the middle of the trio from the youtube screenshot. That being said, it really is true that you never know what you'll end up loving or hating until you try it. I was so excited to get the Stila bronzer last month, but when I tried it, I hated it. I very nearly put it up for trade. Then I tried it under my foundation and now I'm in love!
