This is exactly what was in my box. This months box was a bust for me. I dont tan (at least I try not too) I will probably end up giving all of the stuff except for the Stainiac away.
What's in your Birchbox?

Ooooh, I hope I get the cute bag and tanning towelettes!!! 
It's just a decorated Ziploc - nothing to get excited about.
I got the same as Mig. Didn't like the mask - it was slimy and gross, and I only wore it for a minute or so before I couldn't stand it anymore. And I didn't care about the little baggie. But everything else was cool
Stainiac wasn't as good as Benetint, but I loved the Stila bronzer and would buy it.

You can have mine if you like. I am pretty pale so it would look horrible on me
I was surprised at the size though. Seemed to be a full size product.

My box was the same and I'm pleased with everything I've received.
Self tanning towelettes - I have fair skin and love the sun, but because I'm paranoid about skin cancer and burn easily, I wear sunscreen religiously. I will not step outside of the house without sunscreen on my face, not even to check the mail.
I still like the look of tan skin, so I use self tanners. I've heard that towelettes are where it's at when it comes to self tanners so hopefully there's enough in the 2 packets to do my whole body. The sheet mask - I've been wanting to try one of these forever, although they are pretty scary looking. I'll avoid mirrors.
Stila bronzing serum - I have high hopes for this. Last year I received a tube of By Terry's Hyaluronic Face Glow that is absolutely amazing. My SIL pulled me aside once and asked what I was doing to my skin because I was glowing.
It's very expensive so I've been using my sample sparingly and will probably not get around to repurchasing so I really really hope this Stila product is comparable. Also, I'm fairly certain that this "sample" is actually full sized, so that's a $36 value. 
The stain - I won't wear this on my cheeks but I love it on my lips. The shade is exactly like Benetint but the application is 100x better and it's slightly moisturizing while Benetint provides zero moisture.
I think the baggie is cute and I like twinoaks' suggestion to use it at the beach to protect my phone and whatever else I don't want all sandy.
The cologne...let me tell you about this cologne. When I was little and my dad was working nights, he would always come give me a hug before he left so I could sniff his aftershave. This is one of my most vivid memories - I was maybe 4 years old. I doubt he would even remember what brand he was wearing but it was probably something cheap since he had to have been an E-4 or E-5 at the time and we never had a lot of money. Anyway, I took a whiff of this cologne and it smells EXACTLY like I remember his aftershave smelling. I'm sure my memory isn't 100% spot on so it probably just has similar notes, but it brought back a flood of memories and is probably the best male fragrance I've ever smelled.

I wish you could get a sample of everything they have each month or be able to pick the samples you want instead of them picking for you.I did read if you buy a subscription for someone the first box they send is full of stuff may have to look into that.

I'd have rather had your box
You can have the stuff in my box if you want.I took a bite of the luna bar and threw it away and used a tiny drop of the yu-be but other than that the rest of it all has been untouched...

I left mine on for the full 20 minutes and I don't feel like it actually did anything. The best mask-type of product ever is Philosophy's Microdelivery Peel.
It felt like a jellyfish had attached itself to my face. Ick.

Think I'm glad I missed the mask! I do like the stainiac. As many have said, will never use it on my cheeks but I like it for lips
After reading this thread I signed up for an invite this morning. I got my invitation this evening. I will give it a shot for a few months. I am hoping that due to such a quick response that they are still sending goodies that I might enjoy or pass on versus ending up with samples from the bottom of the barrel.

For people that received the bronzer - how are you using it? I put it all over my face and blended it out pretty well but it wouldn't even out and I looked like I had a fight with a bottle of self tanner. I put my BB cream right on top of it and I have a nice little glow now so hopefully I won't look crazy by the end of the day.
I also used the tan towelettes on my legs so in a few hours we shall see how well they work. A few observations: I used gloves to avoid the orange hands and it felt really awkward. I think if I tried again I would just do it with bare hands and scrub them really well afterward so they don't turn orange. Also, one towelette was barely enough for both legs and in hindsight I should've used one for each leg. I have a sneaking suspicion that my left leg will turn out lighter than my right.

I add bronzer to my winter foundation to darken it up enough for summer. As summer goes on and the rest of me is tanned but my sunscreened face is still white, I use it straight up as a foundation.

I'll try that tomorrow! I used to mix my foundation with moisturizer in the summer before I discovered tinted moisturizer.
The self tanner worked really well. It was fairly subtle so I'll use the other towelette tomorrow to deepen the color a bit. It wasn't streaky or orange at all, and I have fair skin. I think I'm going to go out and by the L'Oreal towelettes. If you use them make sure you exfoliate well and apply a thin layer of moisturizer before you apply!

My box included 2 stains -- neither of which I like and tossed them to my daughter, 2 nail polish remover pads, the cute baggie (which broke the first time I used it), and some hair serum stuff. Overall, I was not that impressed.

You know, I have gotten two boxes so far, and I can't say I am impressed with anything I have gotten so far. Will give it one more month, then I may cancel.
