 That's incredible!  I got "Girl Meets Pearl" in my July BB and just THAT was considered a deluxe sample!  You lucky duck!

Sadly this was my mystery pack. A busted vasanti and a lil vial of loreal hair oil /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Omg I'd email them for sure about the vasanti. That is too good of stuff to ignore.

How much did you spend in your order? Just curious if that makes any difference.

Have you tried the green pencil yet?  I got that same pencil (along with a sucky cc nail polish in clambake coral) last week in a pick two pack.  I was scared and unexcited by the pencil at first, but it turned out it looked fantastic and had great staying power!  I just got my latest BB order in the mail today, with a new mystery 2 pack.  I ended up with a cloth face mask single use thingy, and some hand cream.  The hand cream smells very strong, but it works nice.  I was going to buy a small tube of hand cream from them in my order placed last night, glad I didn't now.  I still have two more mystery packs on the way.  I hope I end up with some good stuff.  So far I haven't ended up with a dud product except for 1 cc nail polish. 

SO comforting to know I'm not the only one placing multiple orders right now! I hate this stretch of the month... Subscription box drought leads to far too many full sized purchases simply so I have something to open! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

What is in the Benefit set? And what sizes are they? I would love to get this as my pick 2. I am expecting an order today with the mystery pick 2.

The only nail polishes I really want in any future box are more of the Incoco nail strips or some Zoya.  I have more Julep nail polishes than I can count right now and really don't need any more... ever.  Julep nail polishes never last more than about 24 hours (if that) on me.

OMG you guys are killing me with your mystery packs!! I'm waiting to place a full size order until after August's box b/c I'll have 300 points then....but man do I ever want to order 2 mystery packs right now with my points!!!! gah.

 

[AshJs3]

Just got the mail and my order showed up today! Yay! Here's my mystery pick 2:



Shu Uemura Moisture Velvet shampoo and Nourishing treatment and a Redken Shine Flash Glistening mist. Not sure if I'll use the glistening mist, but I can't wait to try the shampoo!

Since I took polish off my list, I do hope I don't get any. But I just did that this month so it may not go through in time if they send them out soon. Plus I don't think they go by profiles very much anyway. But if I do get one I will give it one more try. meh

All these mystery packs are awesome! 

My order still hasn't shipped /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I ordered on Thursday though and they say they ship "within 2 business days" so Monday is still in that window but I was hoping it would go out yesterday. Hopefully this new and improved shipping is quick for me! 

Crossing fingers super tight for the Beauty Protector spray!

 

[Babs]

Holy moly mystery pack!! Full size le métier! I died a little bit from joy this morning. My total order was $109 but paid $15 with points codes and freebie tibi pouch which is the perfect iPad case size.

 

[lovepink]

Got my pick two today.  BTW love the new old shipping.  I get my orders in 2 days even on the west coast.



I have received the beauty protector in a box before so it is not that exciting to me.  Will have to look through my stash to see if I have the Juice beauty stuff.  I think I may, but am not 100% sure.  Still good sizes and good samples.

Have you tried Beauty Secrets from Sally Beauty Supply? I use Beauty Secrets pink with acetone and am intending to pick up a bottle of the non-acetone to try with crèmes. The pink with acetone works so well for me in taking off glitter that I never tried their straight up acetone either.
