This looks like a "we have tons of left overs from previous months, lets throw a bunch of it in a box and slap Glamour on it!" Just my opinion!

I'm actually not too bummed about this since I didn't get any of these in my previous BBs! So glad it's gonna be headphones with the music... REALLY don't want to get just another download card! I know it was an "extra" but that was a BUMMER.

Umm yeah I totally agree that this looks like a bunch on leftovers! I think everything in this picture is a repeat! If this is what the boxes will be like Im very disapointed! Youd think since they have never done a Glamour collaboration, that they would bring in NEW products! Its like the collaboration is pointless and only a way for glamour to mass market! The only thing that seems new are the headphones and playlist (Highlight) Ive read about! I dont know, maybe this is just a giveaway box and not a good representatin of the actual product variety, we can hope /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 I love this color!  I don't think the formula is bad, but the small brush can make it harder.  It has become my go-to summer color.

To me it doesn't look like a full sized perfume, but one of those cards that they put the vials in. A full sized wouldn't be smaller than the tube.

So this was the pic that the blogger had with her contest. i posted the text portion last night, but forgot the pic. Looks like some of you are right. The Oscar perfume was in june's SS box, (but honestly- the box pictured looks like maybe a full sized? for sure bigger than the sample ss sent out) 

The Alterna UV thing was in May's ss box i think. 

Some of the others too maybe? Have only been subscribing 2 months, so i'm not sure. 

pic that went with the text spoiler I put up last night.

But if Birchbox doesn't send duplicate samples to the same account why be worried about that one box... I would hope they have something better up their sleeve but I hate how so much of it has been leaked considering its still the beginning of June.

So I wonder how much variety there will be between boxes.  It seemed the Teen Vogue boxes were pretty similar (depending on skin and hair type)--almost everyone got the lipsurgence and essie.  Hopefully it won't be like the GG box where lots of people didn't get the products they advertised would be in it.

Actually, lots of people got completely left out of Teen Vogue as well.

I've tried several Color Club creams (full-sized and mini versions), and they've all disappointed me:  way too watery and patchy.  But their foils?  Amazing.  Especially the Keep It Under Cover half of their Alter Ego collection from a few years ago.  You can still get it from Victoria Nail Supply, too!

I agree I never get an even application and they chip quickly. I put the coral on my toes last month and it chipped within two days. Normally it takes 5-6 weeks for a polish to chip on my toes. So Im not impressed.

Same here, I feel "eh" about it. Maybe, they will have an amazing box. I love that Birchbox is growing & that they are getting business but you can see in the boxes. They aren't as great as they used to be. The Teen Vogue box was the best one by far for me.

Oh gosh i hope my toes don't chip that soon! They look so pretty /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I just wish it went on smoother. Unless I put a *huge* amount of polish on the brush it went on streaky and tacky. But somehow I made it work and just to throw it out there it was way better than a revlon polish i just recently tried. my favorite polishes lately are zoya and butter london...SO IN LOVE!!! Well hopefully we don't get another mini color club again in july lol /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Could the blogger put all those pictures of the items together in front of the Glamour box?

hmmm.. seems legit. She actually posted today that she got an email or call or something and they will be having her do like a guest blog or something.

The Teen Vogue box was the best one for me, too! Fingers crossed the Glamour one will be better than the last two months.
