I better go turn on the Keurig so it can heat up the water!  I guess using "chilly" here is not the most accurate.  It is like 57 which anywhere else is not cold and when I lived in the midwest was "shorts" weather but since I have moved to CA my idea of "cold" has changed.  Anything below 60 is "cold."  And I know how lucky I am and how spolied and how I should not complain!  I went home to MO in March and to prove I could still "handle" the cold I walked around with no coat (wore a sweater and layers) in 34 degree weather!  Lol I'm hardcore!
I wish that was the weather here, its been pretty cold in the late 30s 40s over here. Its supposed to go up in the 70s Sunday and Monday but the hubby is working :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Yes, thanks for the tip! I wasn't crazy about the color I got, but seriously, for $10, I can give it to my mom and enjoy the rest of my box. But I really liked the texture, so I went to the site and got a lip bomb and gloss. And even though I get more subs than I care to admit, I couldn't resist that mystery box either ...
HA! So glad I am not alone!

What is it about mystery boxes that makes me HAVE TO HAVE THEM!!!!!???

I have been going on a total beauty bender lately...this is just one of many purchases I recently made.

On the men and makeup topic, the bf is fool proof reading a post and read:" brown smokey", he says it sounds like something Roger(American Dad) would say. Also used it on a phrase: "I ain't doing no brown smokey up in her, I just had my nails did" I laughed so hard! He said it sounded like it would be something like: a rusty trombone, a hot Carl with a glass bottom boat ride or a cleveland steamer. All new concepts for me... Google is your friend, sex related concepts. Do not do an image search, it might be nasty for some, I looked it up on Urban Dictionary :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I keep picturing Roger saying he wants to brown smokey with a girl and its just one of the funniest things I've heard in awhile.

Btw all Roger references are simply amazing to me.
LOL

 
Anyone know if you can send the Birchbox home box as a gift? I need to buy someone in my mommy group a Mother's Day gift and that would be perfect!

So my home box shipped this morning, but the email said they were using newsgistics? Has anyone ever had package sent by them from bb before? (I know glossybox uses them and that it is horrible)
Mine shipped with newgistics too, I hope nothing goes wrong.

Was the last item the Simple eye roller? If so, we're box twins! I used that CC cream yesterday...  it is AMAZEBALLS!
Yes! That was the item I forgot. Funny thing was I had the Simple eye roller in my hand at Target about a week ago and put it back. Glad I did! I've really wanted to try it because I've liked everything from the Simple line I've tried. I'm ecstatic about the CC cream!!! Really the whole box looks great.

I almost got it at Target as well! Those clearance stickers just call out to me anytime I'm there! Glad I didn't cave that time and got a chance to try anyway. I used it last night after a double shift and I think it helped my puffy tired eyes! I'll have to continue using and see if it really works :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
 
Someone on FB asked if they sent out other colors besides the bright orange and they said that they sent out a few different colors.
 

 
My shipping info finally updated, yay! The box weighs 0.4810 and is tageted to be delivered by Monday. Getting box #4 btw :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Thank you and it's Zoya Pixie Dust Summer collection in Destiny. I also ordered the purple one. I like the Pixie Dust Summer collection better than Winter because when it's dried, colors looks more vibrant; not so dull. Base and top coat are not needed and required. It lasts long time. Trust me :)
I am actually coming around to orange when it comes to my nails. I've liked a few of their new oranges, including the two pixie shades. It looks good on you!

And I agree about the Zoya winter Pixie colors. I wasn't super excited about any of them. The summer collection seems to have a bit more sparkle. The blue is to die for. It reminds me of the sea. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Photos as requested. I apologize for the poor clean up, it was late and my apartment was pretty dark last night.

The polish applied matte (left). It took two coats to get it even. I'm not sure that I like the formula. It was a little thick in my opinion and started drying a little too fast so it started clumping (see middle finger). I didn't think I paint my nails that slowly.On the bottom is a picture of my nails indoors. On the right is a picture of my nails outdoors.

I had Poppy. The Red Wing website says Poppy is scented..it smelled like polish to me.

I took a video but I don't want to put it on YouTube to put here. The color changes pretty fast, about 10 seconds.

That's so cool, I ordered it last night.

I got the Mirenesse in the bright red color and I'm head over heels in love!  I got it yesterday and wore it last night and again to work today.  I'm a fair-skinned blond and red lipstick usually makes me look a little like a kid trying on her mom's makeup -- but this doesn't at all.  It's quite moistuizing as well -- and if it's not enough moisture for you, I put blistex over the top and it doesn't glop at all. 

Picture below -- but don't judge my kissy face.  My fiancee and I like to joke about how the Kardashians never take pictures without the kissy face, so I took this to send to him last night.  This is not my normal picture face, I swear.

Looks great!

(This is in no way a slam on anyone here posting about it... we say things like "I'm not sure, but I'll try it!".... they say things like "Fire the editor that picked that color"... because OF COURSE the fact that this chick didn't like one sample means that someone should lose their job...

I hate reading their fb comments because of all the drama queens on there.
