I just signed up and I think this would be my first box. There are no beauty products this fair-skinned redhead needs less than bronzed and self tanner.
I got some self-tanning towelette samples from Sephora awhile back. I tossed them into my purse along with some orange sanitizing towelettes that birchbox sent to me. When I needed to clean my hands one day, I pulled a packet out & went to town. I even wiped it on my feet, since they'd gotten dirty in flip flops. It wasn't til 5 minutes later that I realized I used a self-tanning towelette instead of a sanitizing one. Ack! My hands & feet were orange for days. lol.
I think there have to be more items then just what you listed. If you look on the website for all the May items there are over 50! So I'm guessing that we might all get one of those items in your list and then other things. That's how it worked at least the one time I watched the Facebook sneak peek video.
You guys make me feel low maintenance - I think I just like stuff. I liked the preview (it said they had over forty items in the boxes by the way, so this was a just a few). I will admit, I've been with it from the start, and since then I've had my fair share of previews that I was like, that looks horrible (or even seen what was in my box). But I've found my surprised to like them; I probably have too much faith, but now when I see an item and go, I would never buy that (say stila bronzer) I kind of hope I get it to try out......
Also I like the hair ties. I've ordered more lol. The zip locks look nice (especially since I now I have lots of little things laying around:)). I never mind food either.
ugh I think I'm going to cancel. What other sample boxes are there? Besides Myglam.
I tried Glossybox this month and it was nice. First month though so we'll see.
I can't remember everything I got, but off the top of my head there was a Zoya Nail Polish, a mini Burberry Lipstick, and some teeth whitener from Italy...

I got mine today. As usual some good some bad. Here's what I got
Box of Cynthia Rowley band-aids. Some of them are just terrible. I mean no, I don't want a band-aid with a collage of 40 models walking the runway on my cuts. On the plus side, it's a full box of Band-Aid brand so they're not cheap.
Stainiac
2 hand sanitizing wipes
Scalisi anti aging moisturizer
Apothederm stretch mark cream
John varvatos men's cologne sample to promote their new men's Birchboxes
A postcard with a code for $25 off a first purchase at artspace.

This is the same box I got. The Bandaids were...odd. I'm ok with the other samples, nothing overly exciting, but stuff I'll at least try.
- blendercleanser for my beautyblender - will come in handy - Comodynes self tanning towelettes - will definitely use - Number 4 super comb prep and protect detangler - perfect for my hair - Stainiac in Beauty Queen - love it! - the ziploc - eh, not sure TSA cares how "cute" my toiletries bag is, but whatever - sample of John Varvatos cologne - I think DH will like it
:hi there: I used to post on F&B and recently found my way here.
I haven't gotten mine this month. Some months I swear I'm going to cancel, and then i realize how much I love getting it in the mail. I can't help it...I love samples!

My box is MIA right now (I moved last week and i'm not sure if I changed it in my account in time...) but there are only 3 products out of all of the "New" ones listed on Birchbox.com that I have received prior to this month's box and out of those, i'd love to try almost all of them (except the perfumes).

I actually just got my box and I really like it!
I got the Coola SPF face sunscreen - will definitely use, just wish it was bigger.
theBalm Stainiac in beauty queen - totally fine with this
stila bronzer - not sure how this will work on my pale skin, but it's a really big size by Birchbox standards and I'm sure a friend will use if I can't. At any rate, I like Stila products, so I'll give it a shot.
Tili Ziploc - It's cute for a ziploc, I'll use it, especially with the move, so I'm totally fine with it.
Juicy Couture perfume - I pretty much hate perfume so this is the only real bomb for me, but I'll give it to a friend.
Comodynes Self tanning wipes (afraid to use these) Masqueology Brightening Mask Supergoop! SPF 30+ Everyday UV Lotion theBalm Staniac in Beauty Queen Modcloth Headband (red with white polka dots) $10 off any $75+ order coupon code for Modcloth
I should be getting my box today. The website finally updated, and this is my box:]
John Varvatos Star U.S.A. 1.7 oz - giving to DH, I hope he likes it tili Bags Small Collection 1 (really?! eff it) Eyeko Fat Eye Stick Likewise Facial Moisturizer + Sun Protectant SPF 50 Normal To Oily Comodynes Self-Tanning Intensive theBalm® cosmetics Stainiac

My box is delayed because of my mail forwarding but this is the box i'm getting as well. Not the worst one that i've received, but not the best either.
Not really excited about my box. I am debating canceling since the samples haven't been that great.
Wonderstruck Taylor Swift Prefume sample :Y: haven't smelled it but I usually like perfume samples stila one step bronze :N: - don't think I'll use Comodynes Self-Tanning Intensive - :N: - will not use theBalm® cosmetics Stainiac - :Y: - I guess I'll try it, but not that excited about this LUNA Bar :Y: - I like Luna bars, but I can buy them at the store so it's not really that great of a sample to me.

I'm pretty sure I am getting the same box as you (I haven't received it yet, but I've been snooping on their website after I found a blog that gave tips on how to tell what items you may get). This is my first box, but I'm kind of disappointed.
I'm fair skinned with red hair, and tanning products are the last thing I would want. I don't wear bronzer, and I couldn't care less about the tanning wipes. I'll probably give these to a coworker or my SIL.
I actually really like the scene of the Taylor Swift perfume so I'm kind of excited about that.
The Stainiac should be good - I love cheek stains.
I don't understand why the pass off a snack bar as a beauty sample. *shrugs*
I just saw online July's box will be a collaboration with Glamour magazine, so maybe that one will be better?

I got this box John Varvatos Star U.S.A. tili Bags Small Collection 1 Masqueology Pore Minimizing Mask stila one step bronze Comodynes Self-Tanning Intensive theBalm® cosmetics Stainiac
I thought it was pretty good. I tried to use the stain on my lips but it doesnt really work that well. I have yet to try it on my cheeks. I like the one step bronze.
