Thought we could have a separate thread for what we receive in the mystery boxes Birchbox is currently offering (spend $50 get 1 free, or $10 ea) from past boxes. Not sure how long they are offering this, but would be fun to see what everyone gets. It's definitely a much better deal than the 2 mystery sample promo if you are already spending $50+

 
I got mine today! I got:

-The Balm Frat Boy Blush. Cool. I don't have this and it looks like a dupe for the indie blush that I'm wearing right now (that I love) so yay!

-Loc One & Done Shadow Stick in On Point. I got the lipstick the month this was sample choice, so this is another win. It'll be a good base color.

-Dr. Jart+ Water Replenishment Mask. A full size product!! I love the Dr. Jart masks and sheet masks in general so yay!

-Davines This is a Relaxing Moisturizing Fluid. I don't really need relaxing, however I do have some wavy hair, but the moisturizing part sounds nice. This is also a huge sample!

-Ayers Body Polish in Pampas Sunrise. This smells so good and looks super fancy. I love body scrubs too!

The Balm Frat Boy Blush. Cool. I don't have this and it looks like a dupe for the indie blush that I'm wearing right now (that I love) so yay!

I'm pretty impressed. Everything is a great size! I had pretty low expectations to be honest. I was expecting perfume (especially Harvey Prince), dry shampoo, and other random things I already have/didn't want, but I love what I got!

 
I got the exact same mystery box as @@smiletorismile from what I've seen on blogs and other forums, this is the mystery box everyone got- the only variant is the LOC product (some ppl got lip crayons, some got the shadow sticks).

I am overall happy with the box. The shadow stick and blush were repeats for me, but everything else was new. Don't know if I'll use the Davines, but the sheet mask and body polish are definitely up my alley, so essentially it's like a really awesome mystery sample 2 pack and 3 random things.

From the other blogs and forums I know there were many who purchased more than 1 mystery box (I saw one poster who purchased six of them!) - it sucks that they'll most likely get multiples of the same box. They'll have some moisturized/relaxed hair for the next 8 years or so...

 
Well that's kind of a bummer if everyone is getting the same box. Was hoping there would be a variety- I ended up placing two different orders with two boxes

 
Just ordered one so hopefully the Frat Boy blush doesn't get switched out for something else. Thats the main reason I got one.

 
I never heard about this? A free box (meaning 5-7 samples)? Did you have to use a code?

 
If you don't, I can send you one. I now have three of the little samples!
Got my mystery box and the Fratboy was in there! I didn't think the color was going to suit me but its a gorgeous shade and I might actually buy the full size. I wish they'd do this again, I wouldn't mind getting another one but from a different month.

 
Well a few days ago on June 14 I got an email for a free Mystery Birchbox with a $50 purchase. I had $20 in points and there were a few things I had been looking at but I was trying to decide between which store was the best to get it at. When I heard about BB getting rid of their points program I thought maybe I should go ahead and cash in my points and get this as a nice bonus. I made my order on June 18. The code applied fine and my order shipped. On June 21 after my order has already shipped I get an email saying "we ran out of Mystery Birchboxes". Last time I just contacted customer service when the code was telling me they were out of stock and I was still able to get one. This time I contact customer service and I get a canned response and $5 worth of points. Are they really telling me that they can't send me a random box of some sort? I know they do these to get rid of old stock but I'm sure they have a left over June box or something they could send me. Anything would be fine really. I just think the $5 in points is a crappy response to this. They've given me $5 in points before for far simpler things like sending me the same product in a Birchbox twice. Not to mention they only give me $5 in points so I can spend more money at their store and have more items left out of my order. No thanks. Also a Birchbox is $10. The value inside is usually somewhere between $20-$30 depending on what you get. So yeah, I'm not pleased with the fact I made a purchase specifically at their store for this bonus only to not get it. 

 
Since I couldn't find a code to work, I decided to get the mystery box. I got the exact same box that I got in March 2016. I thought I would get at least one new sample. It was Beautiful Nutrition shampoo and conditioner, Cargo eye shadows, clariosonic cleanser, Benefit mask one time use. Not the greatest box to begin with. My year ends in December and I will probably cancel.

 
Just wanted to post in here that mystery birchboxes are being offered again with the code MYSTERYBOX and I'm not sure if there is a dollar limit or what will be in the boxes. I'm crossing my fingers hoping for something that I haven't already received.

 
I got mine a few days ago!  I got the Birchbox x Style Me Pretty Box.  I am super happy!

I ordered 1 of these week before and another one last week. The first one is supposed to arrive by the 19th, but the second one is not even shipped out yet although it has been 5 days since I placed my order :/
Can't wait to see what we all will receive.

 
I placed my order yesterday and it shipped this morning, it should be here next Monday. I wouldn't mind that Style Me Pretty box at all.
