So jealous! I have nail polish as my splurge items and NEVER get them!

Got my box today. It wasn't suppose to arrive until Monday, so that was a nice surprise.

I got..

Beauty Protector

Yet to Carrots Lip Butter

Yes to Carrots Daily Facial Scrub & Dark Spot Correcting Serum (1 time use)

Caudalie Eye Rescue 

Juice Beauty CC Cream

I'm a little disappointed - when I click on my box, it said I would be getting six items, the missing item being yes to cucumber towelettes. On the card in the box, it isn't listed. Does this mean I shouldn't bother contacting them about it? 

I'm meh about this box. The sample sizes are SO small. It's better than the march box I got, but not by much.

edit:

Just realized my eye rescue is nothing but air. Like, literally, nothing comes out at all.

I was just on Facebook and I replied to a ladies comment agreeing with her. Most people agreed with her and a couple didn't. Her basic response was that she didn't ask for our opinions and didn't need our opinions. That she could care less whether we agreed with her or not. How mean. Maybe she should not post on Facebook if that's the case. People on there can be so rude. Calling each other names and going off on people.I wonder if they would say these things if they were actually standing in front of that person.Craziness.

Lawd geezus.  I'm a woman of color and I don't get crappy boxes most of the time (Feb & Nov 2012 were crappy though). The only thing that bothered me about birchbox last year was when they sent me lip plumper. Most people from one of my racial backgrounds don't need lip plumper, lol.  However, if I get any tanning products I won't be too mad.  I'm trying to find the perfect bronzer for my skin tone since I'm pale.

Girl, I need lip plumper. LOL

Just received my box today and I totally love everything in it!  Some months are definitely better than others, but the last two months have been perfect for me. (Hate to say it, I probably just jinxed myself!)

My Mirenesse is in Cheeky Kiss, which I happen to really love, so no Instragram rants for me

got this box too!!  LOVE it esp the color of the mirenesse

LOL. That's exactly why I said "most" instead of all

Thanks again for these - I just placed a second order (for the eye cream and moisturizer)!

/i can't seem to find the moisturizer sample on the site.

Do you have a link by any chance?

I just googled "Tatcha samples" and it came up at the top of the list.

hmmm...it's not working for me. Did you search anything specific in the Tatcha site?

That Bain Substantif is my HG shampoo.  I have hair loss due to medication and the shampoo does a great job of making it look like I still have some hair.  That serum lasted me six weeks.  All you need is a tiny bit.  You got a great box.

Have you tried folic acid pills? my hair was falling out a lot and once I started drinking them my hair grew so much.

I've nothing direct to add to this comment, only that the MUT members I've encountered on these blogs have been such terrific and positive people.  Giving me advise and I've learned so much from each of you ladies, sharing their experience and cracking me up.  

It's always a pleasure to keep up to date with my 'cyber' peeps!  

Keep up the love and thanks!

That's a great box!  I have never had box envy until now!  I really wanted to try that serum, I love Kerastase products, and that soap is on my wish list.  I like the color of your lippie and would have liked to try the Simple eye stuff too!   Oh well.  I still like the box I'm getting, and I don't know what will be in box # 2 yet. 

What fragrance is your Lafco soap?  I don't know why, but suddenly I have a thing for higher end soaps. 

I am having a love affair with high end soaps lately too.

Candles as well. I have been collecting/buying Tocca candles like they are breath mints,

I must stop!

LAFCO is great stuff fyi.

I was very happy I got a mirenesse lippy- I got flirty kisses which is the perfect red. I'm the gal that luvs red lipstick & glosses, I think it looks AMAZE with my blonde hair. I never thought I would say that Im stocked in the red department. It seems like over the past year with all my subs, I've somehow gathered approx 10 new red lipstick, stains, glosses, etc. This of course doesnt count my existing staple reds including Chanel no 1, MAC Russian Red, etc. etc. As I said,I'm an avid red wearer but I was really hoping for subs to introduce me to some new colors- corals, plums, neutrals , etc. if anyone got the mirenesse in perfect kiss ( the coral color) I would Luv to trade- I love the color I got but I'm ready to go outside of my box ;-)

Thank you! I've been wanting to try Tatcha products so this is very timely /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> And since it's my first order I added the VIP Sample Set too. Thinking if I should get the rice powder travel set ($18) or go for the sampler set ($49)...

The Joanna Vargas serum is worth every penny! I got it last October in my goop box and it was so fantastic I bought the full size and have been using it ever since.

I posted a comment earlier today about my love for Birchbox, and Hayley Barna liked it! When I saw that, I almost peed my pants. LOL. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
