• 
  Skin&Co Bagnodoccia Body Gel (I hope that it's not as bad as people on here say it is)  
• 
  Nexxus® Youth Renewalâ„¢ Rejuvenating Elixir (also got in my first box)  
• 
  StriVectin-SDâ„¢ Eye Concentrate for Wrinkles (I need this)  
• 
  Youngblood Anti-Shine Mattifier (I got one of the coveted items this month!)  
• 

Weleda Body Lotion (meh)



We're box twins! I'm not sure about this box yet, I'm excited about a couple of things, but pensive about others....

I've heard so many bad things about the body gel, so we'll see. Nexxus I'm excited to try! StriVectin....well I'm only 27 so...we'll see lol. I am happy to try the Youngblood though! I'm always good with a mattifying product Anyone know if the Weleda is any good? I know nothing about it.

It's full size, but the non BB one twists up and this one you have to sharpen

Oooh!  Kiehl's!  I have a tube of one of their eye creams that has a similar name.  It's done wonders for the circles under my eyes.

This is my box

I'm very meh about this box. I think I'm most excited about the item that I can ingest. Everything else just screams Sample Society to me. Better luck for me next month!

I'm getting box 38. Which contains exactly 0 things I wanted. AND my tracking number hasn't updated. So I don't even know when box of stuff I don't want is going to get here.

 

[Ashitude]

I am getting box 11 on my main account and box 23 on my 2nd.

Only dupe is the Glossy Kiss. I am not thrilled with the Tea Pouches but I can send them to my tea loving Mother in law. Everything else I am really excited to try.

 

[Dawn Horton]

Thank you!  I'm going to go look now.  Can't wait!

Are you sure you actually got the full points?  I just reviewed the tea, and while it's showing up twice (two line items that each say +10), my balance only went up 10 (from 50 to 60, and then the second line item for the tea also shows a balance of 60).  Maybe it's just a weird glitch with how slow the site is bein?  Or you are super lucky and got extra points, ha!

I started with 115 points and ended up with 205 somehow.

caudalie divine oil.

juice beauty cc

hail merry macaroons - that'll be going straight to my bf.

ojon rare blend deep conditioner

E.A. exfoliating cleanser

supergoop anti-aging eye cream
Also there wasn't anything this month that I saw that I really wanted to try. So I'm content with whatever I get (unless it all sucks /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> ).

I'm getting the same box - actually pleasantly surprised, because like you, there was nothing I was particularly coveting this month. In fact, this box has a variation on stuff I've generally wanted to try:

CC cream - never have tried a bb/cc cream, and have been wanting to!


macaroons - I know they're probably not like normal coconut macaroons, and DEFINITELY not like my favorite - French macarons, but I recently went vegan and it'll be a nice treat to try, especially since PCC has them for $5.
 
exfoliating scrub - like mine, but always up for a change. Plus I was about to buy new cleanser, so I'll try this out too before I purchase.
 
conditioner, oil, eye cream - not exciting, but I'll happily use them all.


Only thing is that I haven't had a makeup item since January, when I got the Hot Mama (and am in love). I'm big on skin/haircare right now anyway, but it'd be nice to have something more "fun" to play with, too.

This is a weird question, but for y'all with the cilantro gene, does it smell like soap too, or just taste that way? I can't imagine having it... Fresh chopped cilantro is one of my favorite flavors!

I think I will try to trade for the mattifier.  I have oily skin, so it would be useful.

lol that is the one product I want this month.

I love seeing how one item is the one someone wants really bad while another wants nothing to do with it. I guess that is the miracle of these boards lol

Yep, I still remember the first time I had cilantro, at a Mexican restaurant, and I kept saying "I keep tasting soap in the salsa...I think they didn't wash the bowl correctly."  And everyone thought I was crazy.  The next time we went back, same thing - I kept complaining about them not rinsing their bowls properly, and my friends all thought I was insane.  It wasn't until I went to a different Mexican restaurant and tasted in their salsa, that a friend realized what I was talking about and said "Holy cow, you have the cilantro gene!"  And then I had to look it up because I didn't really believe her.  Makes me wonder what everyone else tastes when they taste it!

I can't imagine tasting soap when I eat it!  I think it's so funny!  Same thing with brussel sprouts, people always say their bitter - i've never had a bitter brussel sprout in my life!! haha I too wonder what it tastes like to other people
