OMG!  The box is soo pretty!!  I usually donate the boxes to my church for one of their events... but this one is just too pretty to give up!

Their box picture had the gloss and liner too just the polish color was different.

Oh yay. Sounds like a pretty awesome box then.

I just got my MMNY box and I love everything! EXCEPT I can't figure out how to get the dang cargo blush open!!!! And what is the Liz Earle eyebright? It says lotion but looks like an eye makeup remover. Oh and the Whish sample seems practically empty /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> but I still love it all!

LOL.  I had a hard time with the Cargo container too!! Its a "pop" off lid, but you have to pry it open.

Horrible packing design!!! My husband finally got ot open for me and now it goes on and off easily. I've never had a coral blush so I'm excited to try it!

Just got the CA box, I have to agree with the poster above on how PRETTY the boxes are this month! Sadly though, aside from the 12 Benefits and body wash, the rest of the box really isn't a good fit. Ok, the Clean perfume is ok. But I can't wear the lippy shade and I have enough highlighters to sparkle like a Cullen through the apocalypse, lol

ETA: the lippy shade is a lot more of neutral looking pink,than I expected, though, so it will probably work for more people that you would think. Just not me. :/

What do you all do with the pretty boxes, I just re subbed in feb so it was the first month I got a pretty box. (I think....when did they change from the plain?) anyway it came crushed so I just threw it away since the products were fine. Last month was a welcome box so it was plain too. This is the first one I want to keep but don't know what to do with it. I'm swimming in ipsy bags too (just part of the reason I switched to BB).

I use mine to organize my beauty stuff. Right now I have all my sheet masks in one, my little tubs and tubs of lotion in another and I keep them stacked on a shelf so when I want a mask, I pull out that box, or want to try a new face cream or wash, I pull it out of that box..

I also have one on my vanity for hair ties and headbands, one at my computer desk with pens, pencils, gift cards and post it notes..

I would have picked that box had it not been for someone posting that the lippy was a bubblegum pink! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

im saving my boxes because they said to and at the end of the year they are going to do something "special" they said. but i already have a tracking number and thats pretty early for a box thats not curated

My no PYS box arrived - earliest ever.

Even though I didn't pick it, I got the Iredale stain - it is a great product

 

[girlnamedpete]

Yay, someone else! My second sub is in my cat's name (Miranda). I've thought about getting a third sub so the other cat (Fiona) doesn't feel left out.... 

｡＾･ｪ･＾｡  

Though it seems the cats actually prefer Glossybox, as the box size offers a more generous box-space to cat-hindquarters ratio than the Birchboxes, and they're packed with fun crimped paper shreds that are just perfect for strewing all over the house while mom and dad are out...

If you don't write for a living, you should seriously consider it.  You are hilarious and have a great way with words.

I had one on my nightstand that has my hand cream, facial oil, eye cream, some pens, and lip products in it. I also have one on top of where I store my bath and hair products. In it I keep my hair products that I use the most and some samples that I want to try so I don't forget about them. I also have two more boxes in my nightstand that I keep pens, pencils, markers, and jump drives in. They are super useful for organization! Much better than the bunch of small makeup bags that are sitting under my vanity right now!

Does anyone know why you can't see the box combinations this month? It's just a 404 error...

I didn't get shampoo and conditioner in my box this month!  My cheat shows the Whish, POP, peel, hair serum and Jane Iredale combo.  But a few weeks ago, I placed an order and got a pick-two sample pack with it.  A foil of shampoo, and a foil of conditioner.  Not Beaver brand, but still - worth $10?  I don't think so.

What cheat are you using to see?  Figured it out! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I use my old boxes to organize my nail polish collection, and I'll be using in my new vanity to keep makeup organized.

When I first saw all the posts about the Beaver shampoo I thought, why are people getting mad? I had an organic lip balm and an aromatherapy balm from them that I thought were great.

Then I remembered those were from Badger. Not beaver. Lol.

 

[linda37027]

Box pages are loading up to 25 so far. A lot of the Beaver shampoo and conditioner.

Just sneaked a peak into my box: 

Spoiler

1. Jouer Tint (my sample choice) - Does anyone know what shade we are getting, or is it going to differ?
2. Lord & Berry Black Wardrobe Duo (praying this isn't my upgrade item)
3. Paula's Choice RESIST 25% Vitamin C Spot Treatment
4. Beaver Professional Hydro Nutritive Moisturizing Shampoo
5. Beaver Professional Hydro Nutritive Repairing Conditioner
6. Smith & Cult Nailed Lacquer - Pillow Pie
7. Jouer Moisturizing Lip Gloss (hoping this isn't the hot pick shade I received previously.)
8. Cynthia Rowley Beauty Liquid Liner - Navy (I've already received this as a sample, this is probably the upgrade add-on)

Does anyone know which 2 of those items are my add-ons? I'm assuming it's #2 & #8.

I think people are getting mad, or at least I am, because we receive shampoo and conditioner samples ALL the time, and they're mostly drug-store or drug-store quality. Plus, hair, for me anyway, is a very sensitive subject. There are just so many hair types that most shampoos just won't work with. Also, most of the shampoos that are sent out for sampling are not sulfate-free. I have color-treated hair so I can't use them. Another reason why I'm upset is they keep sending me shampoo and conditioner samples for DRY hair and I have the exact opposite problem (extremely oily). My profile also reflects that.
