My welcome box was in Feb and had those dumb eye rock sticker liners. FAIL.

yeah. i looked back and felt the same way about my welcome box

Lol all of the things people have been saying they hate I would actually love to get... I can't even thing about the times I've needed fashion tape because a top or dress kept falling off!

 

[Linabunnie]

That is pretty bad. The Stila was a card right? The Befine was probably expired and I always swore I would cancel if I got the fashion tape.

Yes that damn card! Lol I actually tried & hated it. Befine was expired but i did get The 100 pts. Hair oil ehhh, used once & fashion taped I hate n got 2. Only thing i really used is Viva La Juicy. So ya, that box was a complete FAIL!

OK so i checked  the feedback method not thinking anything would come up but to my surprise the eyeliner came up. This is very strange because I got this in last months box and have already left feedback for it. Can anyone tell me if they remove the feedback link after you take it or do they leave it up until next months selection?

I thought the same thing.  I have a *horrible* time with bra straps, and I was actually planning on ordering the tape with my feedback points -- and then I got them in the December box.  THEY RIPPED MY FLESH.  It took a week or two to heal, and it *hurt* whenever anything touched the wound.  Since these were on my shoulders, this was pretty much constantly since I tend to wear clothing.  Not a happy camper.

They do not remove the feedback link. All my products from last month still have the Give Feedback button.

I checked mine too and the feedback links are still up for the items I got in last month's box. Disappointing but hopefully it will be a different story tomorrow, LOL!

Your June box is probably still up there under the Box link.  The feedback links for one month remain active until the next month's box goes live, so you usually see the previous month's box until the 10th.  They should be live first thing in the morning.  This will make it easier for me to get up at way-too-early-in-the-morning:  Get up, and I can see what I'm getting!

The feedback button is still there for things I already left feedback for, from last month. Not sure when that goes away...

OMG, I'll be running downstairs and instead of looking under the Christmas tree, I'll be checking Birchbox and hopefully squealing, ha ha ha! Literally Christmas in July!

Wow thanks guys for answering my post! I am soooo glad i am not getting the eyeliner again. I already traded the sample they sent me last month. I know people probably think i am crazy for not liking it but I just can't use liquid eyeliner. I always end up looking like an A-hole

I can't say I'm stoked out of my mind (like I was for the Teen Vogue and the month wtih the Beauty Blenders), but most boxes looked good to me!  

I'd be most super duper happy to get a Boscia BB Cream but I thought lots of the products look good this month: Ahava mask, Laura Geller lip stick, Stila gloss, Boscia blotting papers (never can have enough), blinc mascara, the liquid liner, more Beauty Blenders (which really are awesome!), Ada bronzers (awesome!), and the Jouer LMT is not bad (but sample is small) etc.  

There are a few duds IMO: Box 8, 13, 15, 19, 27, and the worst of them all....28!

I REALLY hope I don't get the eyeko liner, but knowing my luck, one of my boxes will have it. If anyone wants to trade, I'd so be down. Especially for a stila gloss!

I remember being a tad disappointed when I got that box, but it taught me a lesson!  Try things!!!

The Zoya polish has amazeballs (pretty shade and such a good formula) and now I have a handful of their mascaras.  

That eye creme by VMZ is the sample that won't end!  GREAT SAMPLE - there was so much product in it since you only need a touch.  I can't say I used it every day, but I have used it *most* days once a day...and it's still going.  It's almost gone now, it requires a q-tip to get whats left on the bottom.  But seriously, I'm still using it MONTHS later.  I have a full-size ready to go, too!

The other sample that looked "meh" and small but that was really awesome and lasted way longer than I expected was the Olìe Biologique Huile Moderne.  I have a bunch of Josie Maran Argan oil samples from Sephora and they don't even begin to compare.  That Olie Biologique stuff is ten-times better than pure plain Argan oil.   If my face is: dull, dry, has a zit, puffy - this stuff fixes it over night.  And truly a little goes a long way.  Another sample that is still going, and another one that has a full-size in the shadows ready to go because I can not live without.

So...don't judge a box by it's cover.  Some of the stuff Birchbox finds is incredible and way off my radar.  Another one is that Ada bronzer.

Well, I guess I have a higher chance to getting a make up item but sine i've been apart of birchbox since last September more than likely I won't be getting a lot of boxes because they do not give repeat items. So, more than likely I will getting one of the three boxes that are up currently. I am not definitely thrilled about the box options this month that will go out.

Yeah...I think the longer you subscribe it might get harder to get good boxes because of repeat items.  I wish you could elect samples you'd want again to give you more options later.  I'm still only at 6+ months so still lots of box options but I can see where the longer you're a member the harder it can get.

I'll cross my fingers you don't get one of the three that I felt are duds!  lol.  But you know someone else will think you got lucky.  I'm always amazed by that - we all have very different tastes!   /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I started in May 2011, and I've been getting more good boxes than bad, and there aren't a ton of boxes this time around that have items I've had before in my main box (I added a couple more a few months ago, and I've been getting overlap across boxes in the same month, but not repeats from one month to another between the boxes).  There was one month earlier this year (February, I think) that really sucked, and I wasn't wild about the _Gossip Girl_ boxes, but for the most part, I think I get decent boxes even if I *do* end up trading a lot of stuff because I just don't use much makeup (which might be why I view the boxes as fairly solid:  I *like* getting a bunch of skincare and maybe a lip product or nail polish once every couple of months or so).
