So, I've thought about it, and it don't think I'm keeping this. I like the lippie, and the shave cream. That's about it. I ate the gummies... Not a huge deal there. I'm struggling to see the $10 value.

I'm struggling to see the $10 value. Some of the boxes definitely feel under that mark. For me, I figure the points system makes it worth it anyway, but if you're not loving it why stay? I know I only regretted staying with IPSY as long as I did.

I'm struggling to see the $10 value. I definitely know what you mean, mrsbaine. I had Birchbox for a year because I said left. Their "lifestyle" items just aren't worth it. I feel like they throw that in when they have no more samples to give.

Here's my box. As with my other subscriptions, this was a pretty Meh month. The hair stuff I'm not super psyched about, but they will get used. (I do love Beauty Protector's packaging!) I already have quite a bit of spf and I don't really go through a lot of it. The lip color is Coral... and I don't know how I feel about that. It's kind of day-glo, and I don't think I can pull that off.

I hope I get what's in your box @kittichick! I'd be excited about everything in there! I have the spray leave-in conditioner from that brand and it smells delightful.
I received my shipping notice on the 9th and I still haven't gotten mine. Do they always walk your package to you?

I want to try beauty protector's shampoo and conditioner - I already use their spray religiously.

I'm getting: Caldrea Lotion and Body Wash Cotz Face Sunscreen Pixi Shea Butter Lip Balm Greenleaf Candle Nexxus Primer, Shampoo, and Conditioner
Much happier with this one than my first box last month! Why am I getting so much more this month? Maybe some will be just sample packets?

Ooh, I wanted to try the Pixie lip balm! I'd love to see the color! That seems to be my perpetual problem - getting colors that work on me.
I'm glad you're happier with this month, kalex! I do suspect the Nexxus will be big packettes, though,if you're getting all three.

My May Box:
Caldrea Body Wash & Body Lotion in Aloe Water Apricot - smells amazing! It's just too bad the lotion was only a foil packet. Marcelle New-Age 8 in 1 Power Serum - feels nice, cooling Pixi Shea Butter Lip Balm in Pixi Pink - great moisture but I can't imagine wearing this shade out of the house! Bummer since I was so excited for this one. Supergoop Everyday SPF - lightweight, will get used quickly Votivo Candle in Azure Garden - cute and smells delicious, definitely unique!
This was the first box I received since changing my preferences and I feel like they listened, which is always a plus. I'm generally happy with it though I'm not sure I'd buy much full price (except maybe that candle).

Got my Birchbox yesterday and I received the same Pixi Lip Balm pictured above. It is definitely a brighter pink than I would normally wear but I looked up swatches and it looks pretty sheer so I may give it a go.
The Nexxus trio came in the cutest little bottles I have ever seen. Definitely sample packet amounts but in teeny little bottles!

I love that Pixi coral shade! Definitely agree about the application though - the pink one is the same, plus not a great color.

I got that email. My bar is still uneaten. Now, I am debating whether or not I should eat it before the 06/20/14 expiration date. I know it says it is not affected, but that really does not make me feel any better.

I know it says it is not affected, but that really does not make me feel any better. I got the notice and just shrugged it off since I'd already eaten the bar. I don't mind the lifestyle extras, honestly, I mind the "Birchbox finds" usually much more!

I got the notice, too. I still haven't eaten my bar either, although the flavor scares me off more than the warning. (That may be because I've been familiar with Kind as an awesome brand for a while, so I guess I'm inclined to trust them a little more.) I don't mind the lifestyle extras either. Except when it's tea. I hate tea!
