0.6 oz?  That's crazy!  And it doesn't seem like it could possibly be right.

The Pacifica rollerballs ipsy sent out were 0.33 fl oz, and the Kai roller that PopSugar sent out was 0.125.  A full-sized Diptype is $48 for 0.7 fl oz.  I could see 0.06 fl oz, though.  That's about 50% bigger than than the jouer roll-on Birchbox sent out last a while ago.  Standard perfume sample vials are 0.03 fl oz., so 0.06 would just be twice the size of a regular sample.  (As a side note, am I the only one who misread the scent name as "mohel" and thought, "WTF?")

I really hope I don't get a teeth whitening system.  I have sensitive teeth *and* a mouthful of porcelain crowns, and those do not mix well with teeth whiteners.  The chemicals increase sensitivity, and porcelain crowns can't be lightened, at least according to the multiple dentists who installed the crowns.

I agree. I asked the CS rep (twice) if he is sure he is reading the size correctly.

Most likely a typo/mistake for sure.

And as a person with a ton of porcelain crowns herself, I hope you don't get that one item that wouldn't work for you!

I can't believe that June boxes are starting to roll in already!

This year is flying by!!!!

It would figure that they'd send out Stila lip glazes this month, and I just got the Flower Power trio that I ordered yesterday. I still love them though, so if those are in Kit E as well, here's hoping for a color I don't have! And I welcome any sort of Philosophy stuff, so that's a plus.

What number do you call to have them give you box contents? Just the regular CS number that's at the bottom of the dashboard page? I really need to know what's in Kit E now! From the contents of Kits B and D, I like what I'm seeing, although I'm starting to know see what everyone who's been subbed for awhile means when they say they keep repeating brands. This will be my second Murad product in 3 months....

Thanks for the info! I'm getting Kit B too. Glad to see they're including nice brands in there, but they still need to branch out more considering everything that's available online.

I'm not a fan of the Diptyque perfumes, but I love the candles. Can't wait to use the $15 off code for that.

Yes. Just call the regular customer service number. Please let us know what they say about your contents!!!!

And yes, that brand you mentioned has been making the rounds in many subs and Sephora kits etc, for a while.

At least it's a product I want to try though!

 

[katlyne]

ughhh diptyque. I hate them. the last scent I got from them? ugh. nuh-uh. no way in hell.

 

[torijill]

Ah, so you have to call.  I e-mailed and they wouldn't tell me!  Kit A here.  I will be another cancellation if it's not a good one.  Hoping for the new Diptyque, at least.

I dunno, I love Tam Dao but not the last one I got. I'm getting Kit D, to peek or not to peek...

ha, couldn't resist peeking!

I feel like I've gotten all this stuff before from from other subs, except for the candle. I hope they vary the lippie shades, I know I would loath Apricot. I'm getting a very "ho-hum" vibe here...
Whoops, I'm getting kit A, not D. So, in the dark again!

 

[katlyne]

PEEK!

 

[katlyne]

I CALLED THE NUMBER AND SHE SAID THAT THEY DON'T GET TOLD UNTIL THEY COME OUT. why do they hate me?????? I email. I get told no. I call. I get told no. what does a girl have to do around here for some spoilers

Which kit are you getting? We don't know what's in any of them besides B and D, right? I thought I knew, but now I don't. Look at it this way-we are destined to be surprised, hopefully pleasantly.

I think it's a matter of which rep you get on the phone and it sounds like you were talking to someone who doesn't want to spoil your surprise. I would try calling again to see if you get a different person.

Call again. You got a rep that didn't know what she was talking about. They can see the contents when they log onto your account.

(we can't see them yet though). Try a different CS rep, I've never had a problem getting the info!!!!! Good luck!

Yeah, I just tried to call and got the same info. Nothing. She said she didn't have access to that info, she was going to transfer me to a Beauty Bar Specialist I guess, but she said they were probably all gone for the day and, well, I just didn't want to have to be on the phone any longer at that point, so still no Kit E contents yet. Hope someone else has better luck.

Here are the contents for Kit A.

B. Kamins SunDefense SPF 30
Illume Desert Tulip Tin-SS
Murad Age Reform Hydro-Dynamic Ultimate Eye Moisture
Philosophy Hope In a Jar
Stila Cosmetics Lip Glaze-Kitten-Deluxe
I resubbed because from the spoilers I saw I really wanted the last 2 products and I totally think it's worth the $15!

Those are great products, but 3 moisturizers in one box? And didn't they send out B. Kamins last month? I really think they have got to put more thought into these boxes and really try to put together a good mix of products and brands. I can really see what the people who have been subbed longer than me (june is my 3rd month) are saying about all the repeats now. It seems like they feature one product a month, and then just fill the rest of the box with a bunch of random whatever. At least the "random whatever" is usually pretty decent stuff. I just think the boxes would be so much better if they did what Birchbox and Ipsy do and have a theme for each month, or something along those lines. They send out awesome products, but they aren't great at putting together a cohesive box with them. That said, that's some great stuff, and I'm looking forward to getting my box this month!

Thanks for the spoiler, I'm very excited about this month! I only won't be using the item #4 because it broke me out twice when I tried it before.

They keep sending me SPF products (and, yes, they sent out that brand last month, but the product I received was a cleanser, in case that makes a difference).  Those things irritate my skin, as do most anti-aging products.  There are two things in there (the second and last) that will make this one worth the money for me, especially with the gift code (I was actually planning on buying the last item, so that's extra-great for me since now I don't have to, and I can get something else on my list from that brand instead).  But, yeah, three of those products in one box is ridiculous.  I guess at least they're not sending yet another hair conditioner.
