Recently, though, the welcome boxes have been pretty good,,and I haven't seen many boxes in recent months that were all that bad. There is no telling when the 'punishment box' goes out...since it's not a real thing LOL.

Okay, thanks. I thought it was probably something like that.

wahhh i just want a email of some sort. /insert fake crying noise

this might seem off topic but i notice this new title under some of the girls names on here called the "millennium club"! sounds so fancy - whats that all about?

 

[lovepink]

Millennuim club is based on how many posts you have.  I think it has to go over 3000 (I could be wrong).

I'm late on the mother in law talk, but my ex MIL was just the best and I miss her so, so much.  I think I might have left him sooner if it didn't mean breaking up with his family too.  Funny now that happens.  I think that's part of why mothers are so reluctant to accept new people into the family, it is a relationship too.

ANYWAY box is in my state, whoop whoop, .5640

How much do I love the truth serum?!  Smells like lemon Pez.  Yum.

Yes! I got the 3 little wonders kit on Black Friday and finally busted it out. I don't think the night gel is moisturizing enough, but the Truth serum is fantastic and the day cream is very nice, too.

 

[lovepink]

Lemon pez has a scent?  Is it like the little disc before or after biting into it?  I had some Ole Henriksen that I got in a GB but traded it away.  Can't wait to see what is in my BB this month!  (been stalking instagram and this thread to determin potential box possibilities)

I feel the same way about the night gel.  I actually apply the cream right over it at night.

Hmmm, I'd say after--it smells the way lemon pez tastes (if that makes any sense).  I received it in the GB  too and then I traded for a few more bottles AND bought the 3 little wonders kit on Black Friday.   My hoarding tendencies...

 

[lovepink]

Thanks for the description!  If I ever come across it again I will try it out since it is getting such rave reviews!

Did anyone ever figure out a way to link to all the box combos?  I need some distraction till my box gets here!

me too! that's why I fell in love with JM bear naked face wipes and the nail wipes. Plus, I fell in love with fresh's hesprides perfume that smells just like grapefruit too! And love sweet love from philosophy has a nice grapefruit hint. Random, but I miss the pink grapefruit tic tacs. Those were amazing.

I love Love sweet Love! Love grapefruit scents.. You have to buy this cleaner, it's delicious. I'm always so apply to wipe the kitchen down with it haha http://www.target.com/p/method-pink-grapefruit-all-purpose-natural-surface-cleaner-28-oz/-/A-13532715?ref=tgt_adv_XSG10001&AFID=Google_PLA_df&LNM=%7C13532715&CPNG=Storage+Organization&kpid=13532715&LID=PA&ci_src=17588969&ci_sku=13532715

I see everyone is talking about Neutrogena /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I seriously love their acne prone transparent bar but it seriously melts in days!! Does anyone know if Neutrogena carriers it in a liquid form? 

Or if anyone else is a fan of their transparent bars how do you keep them from not melting. 

 

[bluemustang]

Yes! I got the 3 little wonders kit on Black Friday and finally busted it out. I don't think the night gel is moisturizing enough, but the Truth serum is fantastic and the day cream is very nice, too.

I loved this kit, i agree the night isn't moisturizing enough. I use it sometimes and then put something else on top lol the truth serum and I love each other.

 

[lolas]

Love love the Neutrogena wipes! I buy them at Costco. 114 wipes for $15! Would love to try the grapefruit ones though. I really like citrusy scents.

 

[bluemustang]

I apply an eye makeup remover and then use Pamper's sensitive baby wipes to remove or whatever wipes are on clearance at Target. :-O lol I always wash my face after though, the wipe is just for removal.

Same here, the wipe is just to make it easier for the cleanser to remove everything AND to avoid staining my Clarisonic lol

Haha you were the one I was totally thinking of!  I was like "Hmm I remember seeing it on Gabi's after she hit 3,000." Congrats!

Ready for the birchboxes to come!  I know it is not the 10th but I have the anticipation of a 3 year old Christmas eve!  I can't wait to see what i get!  Sorry you have to wait till the bf comes to get yours.  You should make him open em on Skype or do "unboxing" videos!
