Hey all, just got my box! It had a weight of .5455 lbs and I received:

(MALIN + GOETZ) cilantro hair conditioner

Caudalie SOS Morning Eye rescue

Herban Essentials lavender antibacterial towelettes

Mirenesse Glossy Kiss Lipstick

Hail Merry Chocolate Macaroons

Sorry I had to put it all in white text because I'm new and am still having trouble with figuring out spoiler formatting /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

That's close to my box weight, so that might be what I'm getting. Does the conditioner actually smell like cilantro? Because that is probably my least favorite scent on earth. And I'm gonna guess you got the red gloss stick.

Not really, it smells herbal but I don't think it has a very strong cilantro scent. And yes, my gloss is in red, definitely not my favorite choice but I'm hoping it will look better on.

Hi, ladies! Long-time lurker (I've been subbing for a year now!), first time poster here. I just got my box, and I haven't seen it posted, so I thought I'd share. 

I got: 

Beauty Protector | Protect & Detangle 

Caudalie | Divine Oil (3 mL)

LAFACE Laboratories | BEAUX YEUX Beautiful Eyes Concentrate Intensive (3 mL)

Supergoop! | Daily Correct SPF 35 CC Cream (3 mL)

Lifestyle Extra: Hail Merry | Chocolate Macaroons (bag of 2 macaroons)

I already devoured the macaroons, and they were delicious! 

Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with my box. I've read a lot of good things about the Protect & Detangle spray, so I'm excited to try that. I love BB creams, and have been wanting to try out a CC cream, and eye creams and face oils are always welcome in my book!  Besides, I'm going on a trip this weekend, so having sample sizes is always a plus! 

Welcome!  Sounds like a great box I definitely would not mind getting chocolate macaroons.

It reminds me of those Nars satin lip pencils.  Look at me modeling it below, lol. (excuse my crazy curly fro, lol)

It looks great on you, I hope I get it too.

I then said, "Here you go mom, I didn't want you to have to stand in line for anything, it's way too long and you have bad knees." She felt like a fool and left early saying she was feeling ill. Ha! Kill em' with kindness!

What a great story! I was raised to handle difficult people that way, and it usually works, but unfortunately it doesn't work on everyone.  I do think it is the best way to start out. Some people are so far gone that if you turn the other cheek, they will just keep slapping. Some people don't know the difference from someone who is being graceful, and someone who is a door mat. I believe in being direct, when necessary. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I just got an email from BB, and I thought it was my box, then I remembered that I ordered from their flash sale. lol

Yeah mine's the youngest one of the two...so *sigh* I hope it's just her being over protective, but I think she hates me LOL

I don't think she hates you you're so nice! maybe she just doesn't want to have to compete for his attention.

Oh thank goodness.  Cause I'm right there with queenofperil, i do not want to smell like cilantro!.  This box weight is kinda close to mine, and every other box seems to have the Beauty Protector, which I've already gotten.  (would not mind getting it again!  Love that stuff!)

That does look really good on you. Now I kind of want it. I also like your hair.

Thank you and thank you! I dyed it with that Garnier Olia hair color I got in the bzz campaign.  My hair is so big in person it's ridiculous.  It's amazing how fast it grows without a perm/relaxer in it. 

 

[Missglammygirl]

I feel kinda relieved that no one else with my shipping weight has gotten their boxes yet. Im thinking this might be the first month in a year of being subscribed, I wont know my box..

 

[skylola123]

Getting nervous since I decided to get two boxes since it was special themed this month.

I have yet to receive either of my tracking #'s.

Hopefully they will not be the same box.

The boxes look great so far!
