I've already had several of the products that are showing in most boxes, so that'll limit me to maybe three or four, but I'm not excited about ANY of them.

The reason they don't count it as a repeat is that it's from a different color collection.  You can review it again and get points again.  Since formulations from the same brand of polish can vary a LOT I'm glad that they don't exclude the brand entirely if you've had it.  That's just me though :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
Based on the no repeats rule, and on the photos that are up now, the only boxes I could possibly get are:

3, 5, 10, 23, 24, 31, and 30(maybe - this photo isn't working and the products for it aren't all listed)

I would actually be happy with any of those boxes - I'm especially hoping for one with the hair serum and a BB cream. Bonus if it has a perfume too.

Boxes 3, 10, and 23 are the ones I'm hoping most for.

The actual pics don't show up for the box but if you scroll a bit further down you can see the images listed!  Some of them only have two items uploaded so far but some of them have all the samples!

I did notice that the last five or so boxes had staniac in it which I thought was interesting because didn't all of them have them last month?  If so, there are quite a few "welcome box" varieties....some of them that actually look good lol....

I got a welcome box last month and the stainiac  was in my box, so hopefully they don't send out those boxes to me. Don't get me wrong I would love an extra but I would like variety

The stainiac was in all boxes last month. It was their big June to do. I don't think there was a real true Welcome Box the last couple of months.

 
Still no shipping notification here.  I'm starting to get antsy... I want it now! (The box, not the notice, lol).

I wonder if the Stainiac counts as a duplicate, or if the boxes containing those are for new people, too.  I hate Stainiac, so I'm expecting to get one if they're not, lol. 

I've noticed that I've not gotten the biggest majority of the items here, so I can't narrow down my box that way.  On the other hand, it means that the chance of me getting a repeated item is really quite low.  My only potential dupes have been

Color Club® Foil Collection, Dr. Jart+ Water Fuse Beauty Balm SPF 25+ (though if I got as lucky this time as I did last time, i wouldn't mind another sample of this), theBalm® cosmetics Stainiac, Twistband Hair Tie.
 
Still no shipment confirmation for me either. I've never gotten an early box though. Mine usually goes out with one of the middle waves. I'm actually excited about the boxes this month but I've only been subbed since April so there's not much in these boxes that I've already gotten (except the Staniac). I got a Lunabar last month so I hope I don't get the Lara bar this month. I've got my eye on a few of the boxes but I don't want to get my hopes up, LOL!

 
My box on my second account shipped on Saturday!  Weight .5020.  Haven't gotten a confirmation for my first sub yet, so I'm hoping that means 2 different boxes!

I don't know, nothing on Zadi's lists is really pumping me up just yet.  I'd really like to get the dirt salt scrub  but other than that nothing is jumping out at me.  I actually really hope I don't get the Stila lip gloss , I picked some up a few months ago and wasn't a huge fan.  Hopefully once pictures are posted I'll get more excited!

For anyone who wanted to try the Miss Jessie's hair products from previous boxes:

Right now they are offering 3 free samples on their site. They do ask for a credit card number, but don't charge you.

Thank you so much! I never get hair samples.

I am not excited about a single one of the boxes this month. I think it's time to say goodbye.

 
wohoo! now that the pics are up i'm betting they all have 6 items... i notice #18 only had 4 listed but there are 6 when you see the pic :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

there are boxes that are getting both Larabars and earbuds and since they are labeling the earbuds as a lifestyle extra than it looks like the larabar is taking the place of a beauty sample. I don't mind one lifestyle item in my box, but two is pushing it especially since I've already tried larabars and think they are one of most disgusting things I've ever tasted. 
Sorry, just had to put that thought out there.

Hope everyone enjoys their box this month!
Last month I got 2 lifestyle extras, plus 5 samples, so 2 lifestyle products is a definite possibility. 

 
Boxes 21 & 28 seem to be the only boxes with 5 items so far. Im thinking these may be the boxes that have already went out?....
I'm confused-I thought the boxes went out according to number. I was in the the first wave last month and I got one that was low numbered. Still no shipping notice for either box, but there's only one I would really hate and that's the one with the Tili bag. Since I got that last month I think I'm safe. Hoping I don't get the Blinc (hate) or the Stila Balm. (already have it)

If you get the blinc I will be happy to swap! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
I hope like hell I don't get box 21. I it would be the worst for me.
