Wish list : Shea Terra black soap Paula's Choice BHA Nyakio face polish Color club blue or green

 
My wish list: *Caudalie cleansing water *Nyakio face polish *Color Club blue or green (or both between my two boxes would be fantastic :D /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />) I got a black sumita pencil in one of my first boxes and promptly purchased the plum color and traded for a navy and lime green so I really hope I don't get one or it's not one of those colors!

 
For once I'd be super excited to get food in my box. I love Kind bars but they're too expensive to my sense of budgeting to justify buying most the time.  So I'm definitely hoping for one of those!

I agree, I LOVE kind bars.

 
My food preferences: Chocolate > Kind Bars > Tea Cleanser, lip stains, everything else > Food > Moisturizer > Lip gloss So I guess I am a "meh" on the Kind bars on all counts.

 
I am perfectly aware of the fact that I can pick up a Kind bar on campus or at the market, but I also do not care. SEND THEM TO ME! I'd also like the Nyakio scrub, something from Paula's Choice with BHA (preferably something actually targeted toward oily skin), the African Black Soap, and probably a few other things. I just ordered the full size of the Anastasia Brow Gel when it was half off at Ulta, so I don't really need a sample of it. I'm pretty sure I'll end up getting it just because of that, though.

I got the brow gel during the sale too! I decided I wanted it too much to possibly not get it. I'm also aware that I'll now get it in both of my boxes. I also just did a swap to try the Camille Beckman body butter, so I'm sure that will be in one of my boxes as well.

I'm actually impressed with the samples this time around, and would be happy with most of it (minus the perfume – most give me headaches). 

Dream box:

No. 4 shampoo

Guy and Girl Body LotionGilchrist and Soames Body WashSumita liner

havvn night cream (or any night cream)

Pretty sure I would have hated that box when I first started subbing, but I'm currently in the market for a new shampoo, body wash and lotion – so I figure why not make it at least somewhat practical for once.

 
I got the brow gel at Ulta, too, but I haven't opened it yet (working my way through an Ulta brand gel at the moment, although it's getting pretty gross) but I actually hope I get it in at least one of my two boxes, i wouldn't mind having backups at all! 

 
I have the ELF Brow Gel/Clear Mascara right now. It's useless in comparison to the Anastasia one. Well, for me. Other people make like it better.

I haven't tried that one but I've tried a few others, including the Ulta one right now, and none of them come close to Anastasia.

 
So I currently use the Benefit Gimme Brow -- is the anastasia better?? They are similarly priced, but I generally find Benefit products underwhelming.  This one I love mostly for the convenience factor -- I don't have time to fill in brows most mornings on top of everything else!!

I just finished my tube of that! I have unruly brows (well only at the inner edge) and this really didn't do the trick and it became stinky!

I don't think they serve the same purpose - well, Anastasia has a lot of brow products, but the one we're talking about (the one going out in April boxes) is just a clear gel. The hold is amazing and it works better than any other I've tried, but it doesn't do anything for filling in brows as it has no color. 

 
I use the elf eye brow gel and it does feel like I put hair gel on my eyebrows. But I still use it, it's cheap and makes my eyebrows looked tamed. I hope I get the Anastasia one to try.

 
I'm hoping to see more Chella products in BB soon -- the Chella brow gel is the best I have ever tried (sampled it through Ipsy, I think), but it's a little $$$ for me. I have a sample of the Anastasia I'm working my way through -- it's ok, but the hold is a little stiffer than I prefer. The Chella has that perfect medium no-flake hold.

 
Awesome job breaking down the gif! I actually went and took a long nap lol Box pages are not updated yet. As for what I want in my box... I'd love to try another HP perfume! Always like eye liner, so I'd love the Sumita. Wouldn't mind the brow gel either! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

If you write to Harvey Prince customer service there is a good chance they will send you samples of whatever you want to try :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
