oh man, that's funny because in the ~16 months i've been subbed, there have been a few mattifying gels sent out and every time there were i never got them. i've always had oily skin on my profile bahah.

I don't mind foils that are big like that, and you can really get several uses out of them. I'm still working on my Pedi Cure packets from last month. I've used it about 15 times, I think, and I can get a couple more out of it. And I haven't even opened the second packet! They were 15 ml each.

Wishing that I could see what was in my 2nd box. Had a billing issue this month,(expired cc), so I won't get my 2nd box till the next wave gets sent out. It's just wrong they won't even update my box page.....sigh...

a lot of times in instances like that they aren't updated because the box # you're getting hasn't been generated yet, if it hasn't shipped.

I got the color disco fever with the lipstick and love it! also the Harvey Prince perfume smells amazing, its subtle yet has kind of a fresh and flirty smell - in fact I can't stop smelling it lol so I'm going to wear it tomorrow and see how well it stays on. The rest of the products I can't wait to try

For ladies who wanted to try Harvey Prince Eau Flirt, I tried out this promo on their site a few months ago (with a different perfume, and it worked for me) go to their samples, and add the Eau Flirt roller ball. Then go to your cart, scroll to the bottom and type the code "TRYFLIRT" in to the promo code box. It will give you the sample (BIG sample) for free and you just pay shipping.

Also make sure to go to the shipping area and select the shipping you want, I think some ladies accidentally paid more for a quicker shipping last time.

Also: for anyone who is curious, I'm pretty sure I used it to get Eau De Lite. Great perfume, very similar to Skinny Chic but a bit mintier if you liked that one.

Mine was a different color product and I was still credited /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

oh my goooooood, it worked! thank you thank you!!! The shipping (standard) was 6.50, so that's all I paid! Yay!!!! I can't wait for it to get here, thank you SO much for this tip! I wonder if you can do that code with other scents? or does the code need to be try(name), and change the name to the perfume? Either way, that is a GREAT tip!

Thank you kawaiimeows!  It works for Flirt but not for Hello or Coupling which are others I wanted to try.

 

[kawaiimeows]

I've tried it on Eau de Creme too and it hasn't worked :[ I might just bite the bullet and buy the roller ball of it because its notes sound amazing.  FWIW, Hello is amazing. I ordered a full size from Birchbox and get compliments on it ALL the time.

I saw you ordered it, I hope you like it! I loved it and I bought 2 rollerballs after I got a sample. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> It's a really nice scent, light and not overwhelming. I love Harvey Prince!

 

[deactivateduser232015]

Eep,  maybe I am doing something wrong, but TRYFLIRT is only giving me $12 off? So it's still making me pay $9 ....

oh nvm I am dumb. But, if you want to order the larger size, it looks like it does give you a discount

I want to try Eau de Creme so bad /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I am on my 2nd rollerball of Hello (isn't it amazing?!), I have Eau Flirt, Eau Fling, Coupling, Skinny Chic, and Ageless, as well as samples of Yogini. I went through a Harvey Prince phase, clearly. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> But Eau De Creme sounds amazing and I won't rest until it's mine.

Yes, I'm so excited! Now that I look at the others, though I also really want to try Eau Fling and Yogini too... hehe. I've never smelled any of the HP scents before. But they all sound really nice. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I've tried Hello, Skinny Chic, and Eau de Lite and they were all great. I don't have a terrible amount of experience with perfume but I'd say their scents are definitely very unique and would probably recommend them to anyone. I might order Eau Flirt for a fall scent, it seems appropriate.
