So I never got a shipping notice for either of my two boxes but when i got home earlier tonight, there was one sitting in my mailbox!!! Pretty wierd since I've always gotten my shipping notifications each month. I remember reading last month and months before as well that some of you had this happen also....am I right? Oh well, it sure was a nice surprise as im leaving for vacation tomorrow! This way I was able to open one before leaving and will be looking forward to my second box waiting when i get back!!! I havent looked at zadis list to see what box number this is and obviously dont know the shipping weight lol but anyways.... Here's a list of what i got in my first box along with my initial thoughts/review:

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

• Mini Larabar Uber in bananas foster
• Birchbox Earbuds- pink and green
• Full size Stila lip glaze in Camera
• Harvey Prince Hello- sample spray vial
• Ada Cosmetics Bronzer in Golden bronzer- sample jar
• Gloss Moderne High gloss Masque- sample jar

Overall I am happy with this box!!! The Uber bar was pretty tasty consodering I'm not a huge banana fan lol The bronzer looks beautiful from a swatch on hand and I've been needing a New shimmery powder bronzer so im excited to try this! The stila lip glaze is a gorgeous color but its way to sticky for my liking, I may trade this just because I don't think ill be reaching for this gloss as I have others which are much better feeling although I love the color! The HP Hello definitely smells good but is it just me or is it almost identical to Viva la Juicy!?!? If i smelled the HP hello on someone without knowing what it was id totally guess viva la juicy! Kinda a bummer for me only because i used to wear viva la juicy but as my scent preferences have changed since then im looking to discover new and different perfumes, totally a personal thing ans not a conplaint about the item at all. Lastly, my favorite product of the box- The high gloss masque! It smells like coconut and its definitely a coconut scent done right! Smells divine! I used it tonight and can still smell the scent lingering after blow drying my hair and using other products! Think ill have to buy a full size with points /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> oh and i almost forgot about the earbuds..I originally thought I'd trade those since i have a great quality pair but oddly enough my boyfriend wants them lol ! Let me know if you guys got any of the same products and what you thought! Is love to know!

It's not 100% reliable and it wouldn't surprise me if Birchbox fixed it so no more early sneak peeks via the feedback button.

 

[Steffi]

Mine just updated.  Box weight .5930, ETA 7/16

 

[koolcryyss]

Mine still hasn't updated and it's been two  days! I'm just going to assume that I'll get my box before it updates.

 

[Adrigirl81]

My box finally updated, with an estimated delivery of July 16th...my other BB boxes in the past have always gotten to me 2 days after the date shipped though, so we'll see.  The weight seems really light, but every box this month has something in it that I want to try!  Shipped the 9th, so I will be waiting patiently at the mailbox today!  J/K...sort of! 

Weight (lbs.):
0.4290
Projected Delivery Date:
Jul 16 2012

For those of you waiting for shipping info to update, just thought I'd share that I got my shipping email on Monday morning and it updated on Tuesday night.

Also, I got my friend to change my BB password so I'm literally unable to check the website if my box goes up... I have no self-control.

Birchbox intervention!

I bet you slept better/longer than most of us last night, lol.

My box has shipped, but notification isn't updated. I haven't seen anyone get the Laura Gellar lipstick yet, and I'd love to see it in my box, so maybe...

Is that one of the ones with the nail polish? If so, what color  did you get?

I got Blue Ming. Still have yet to swatch it though. I'm not entirely sure if it's "me". 

 

[DreamWarrior]

Love! Love! Love! My July BB Box! Not disappointed at all!

 

[Marshmelly]

Anyone have a box with .5000 or close? I'm thinking maybe box #3 since that was around .49 but not sure. =p

I'm still mulling over the issue of full-sized items. I'm actually not a fan of full-sized items in these boxes (especially since they tend to be makeup items I don't use in colors I can't wear), but they seem to be used a lot of times to balance out tiny samples.  And it seems like they are doing full-sized-item-lottery more and more lately. 

I think the benefit to Birchbox of doing full-size things like lipstick and nail polish is that they come in multiple colors, so if you like the formula, you might buy another one.  I had never heard of the Tarte Lipsurgences before getting a full-size one in my box, but now I am saving my pennies and have bought the Revlon wanna-be.  Same with Zoya Nail polish (even though the minis aren't full size) - it was a new brand to me and even though I didn't care for the color they sent, I really like the smooth application and it had lasting wear for me, so I've bought a couple of others. So even though I'm still using my full-size from Birchbox, it still has led to other purchases for me without needing to wait until it ran out.

With some other products, I can't see why a full-size would lead to multiple purchases at the same time like this... For example, how many eye creams are you really going to use at once?  If you love it you might buy more when you run out, but you're not likely to buy a few of them at the same time to duplicate the one you already got in your box.

Just my two cents!

That is hilarious!  Great idea--but you're braver than I am!

My 2nd sub (that I got my shipping for on Saturday and is still projected for the 13th but was 2 towns over yesterday so I expect it today or tomorrow at the latest) is .5020.  I actually hope it's not box 3.  The hair stuff looks interesting and I actually do like most Larabars,  but I got the Joeur Moisture Tint in a box for my main sub a few months ago and it doesn't really work for me, it's not at all the right color, plus the sample is really small.  And I'm firmly in the camp of not caring for perfume samples.  Also, I bought the Stila Lip Glaze off Haute Look a few months ago and just wasn't thrilled with the formula - I actually have 2 full size that I've never worn (though one I swatched, the other is still in the box) that I'm planning to get around to trading some day, or at least the unopened one.  I'm still holding out hope that I could be gettting box 5 with that weight, or maybe something totally different that no one's got yet.

My main sub I got the email for yesterday and the weight hasn't updated yet!  I swear, half of the fun of Birchboxing is trying to figure out what you're going to get and when you're going to get it
