I also noticed they have a smaller version of it in a 3 piece set in the shop, if you're into that sort of thing.

apparently someone asked about it recently but BB said they never did a code for your 13th month.

oh, okay okay

My one year came at 13 months--I never got an email though, the code was on a card that was mailed with the keychain.

Hoping to try the Model Co Party Proof this month.

Me too!  I liked my box last month but was hoping for one of these.  I need a neutral color in my lipstick collection.

I traded for the party proof in get naked. Love it very much. I don't think it's that long lasting though.

Glad to hear you liked it.  The staying power isn't as important to me for neutral lipsticks since I can put them on without a mirror most of the time.  Not true for my deep reds, I tried it once and ended up looking like the joker.

I got the key chain too, there was no card with it to explain what it was from though, and at the time I didn't know they sent them out. I got an email like a week after I got the keychain saying that I should have received/would receive a keychain and what it was for. My coupon code was in that email.

I was wondering the same thing!

Not too excited for anything in the video. Too bad. It's my birthday month and was hoping for an awesome box. Loved July's box so it would have been hard to top it anyway.  I do want to try the Model Co lipsticks. Nice to see Mally products. I have several of her eyeliners. Hoping they will start carrying her volumizing mascara in the shop. It's one of my favs.

So I have been breaking out a lot on one side of my face recently due to stress, moving, working a lot, and minimal sleep. Plus, I have been out of my usual face stuff and haven't been able to pick it up and have been using random samples which probably made things worse. Enter my DDF acne treatment sample from last month...wow is this stuff amazing. I put it on and within a few hours saw a huge difference and so did my Mom when I saw her later in the day. It has been one day and the difference is amazing! I think I just found a new HG through BB. YAY!!!!!

I love the DDF stuff too! Well, not love--I hate the smell and I hate the way it feels on my face. But I think it works pretty darn well! I love that the sample size is so ginormous!

My aversion to the Whish products comes from getting the shaving cream. I thought it was both ineffective and smelled nasty. This could be one of those months where I just have to find a bright side in my box.

Yeah, I had an immediate "no thanks" reaction to the Whish stuff and it took me a second to realize that I didn't want it because I hated that shave gel so much. The scent was so sickeningly sweet and it didn't work half as well as my Skintimate. I have heard good things about their other products, so I'm going to try to be open minded. I wouldn't mind getting the body wash.

I fund some full size DDF products at TJ Maxx today! Paid $24 for both the DDF Mattifying Oil Control Moisturizer with SPF 15 (normally $44) and Benzoyl Peroxide Gel (normally $36 - it's an acne treatment, but a different one than the one BB sampled in July). They had one other DDF product I ended up passing on, but if you're looking for more from them maybe check TJ Maxx out.

My TJ's had a lot of DDF too, so looks like its pretty across the board! Which is nice, I always feel bad recommending things I score there, since it may have just been at mine. :/

Funny thing is I didn't notice a funny smell and I thought it felt nice but I did layer it with the Juice Beauty stuff from Pop Sugar. U are right, the tube is completely full which is helpful!

Thank you! I looked at their website today and they have similar products to the line I normally use but about twice the price. However, if everything else is as effective, I will totally get it so the TJ Maxx bit is a great tip.

Let's hope the one near me has the products I am wanting to try.

i was surprised at how well i like the DDF i received in my box since i still have the evologie sample that i use when needed; however, the DDF isn't anywhere near as drying as the evologie and seems to work well! I'm not sure I'd ever pay full price for the DDF though since I don't get enough blemishes to justify it. i'm still bumming over the e-mail that they won't be getting more bobby pins in stock :[
