[meaganola]

Yay, my box landed today! Boo, it's February in Portland, so the glitter polish can't change colors!

I hope the OPI is the purple color like the photo shows. Not excited about anything else.

That OPI looks like teal to me....

 It's hard to tell, though. I'll cross my fingers for you that it's purple!

I'm on my phone. I even turned up the brightness on the screen and it still looks purple. Oh, well, I'll probably get the yellow. I'm happy with this box, though.

I hope your glitter polish changes color! I got the Kitten Heels one (hot pink to red) and put it on this morning. I went outside and stood in the freezing cold (but sunny...yay!) for at least three minutes and no change (no topcoat). It's still a fun color though.

Got my other box today with the beauty protector in tact. Yay me! This is a vast improvement from my January punishment box and my first perfume since September 2013. I'm a very happy quene!

Nice box! I like it as well. The only thing i liked about my box was the nail polish.I am getting another one since the BP oil leaked in it. I hope to get another box that I like.

Question... Has anyone taken advantage of the free $10 "mystery" samples with any $35 order ? And if so did you get anything good ? Also can you earn points for reviewing the product samples you recieve ? I'm fairly new to this so thank you /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

My box came today.  The BP oil was intact and the cap was on tight.  Yay!  The nail polish and perfume were in a pillow pack which probably helped.  I'm happy with this box and look forward to trying everything out.

I received the OPI tint in the amber color and I don't get it.  It looks terrible on its own, so I tried layering it over another polish and you have to be very careful to make sure to get it EXACTLY over the base polish.  If you let it get on your cuticles or bare nails at the base, it looks like you have a fungus.  It might work for nail art, but mine seems to be very thick and kind of gloopy, so I think it would be rather frustrating to worth with.

Let's see. I got a small Supergoop CC cream, it was too dark for me. and some beauty/tea thing. I haven't looked at it since I received it, honestly, it had a tea bag and a face serum of some sort. I thought it was interesting. I would have been excited if the Supergoop had looked good on me, I haven't had a chance to try many of their products

Anyone else get this? I sent my info in for the rebate so I'm assuming it's about that. Will probably call on Monday to find out what this means.

slightly off topic, but the potato chip chuao is on sale for $4 at target right now. i finally caved and bought one. omg - love it. it would be better if it was dark chocolate (i am a chocolate snob, i can admit this), but i do really enjoy it in milk chocolate.

I am hopelessly addicted to the Popcorn Pop Chuao bar. I got the potato chip pod in a box last year, purchased the sampler...and have been out of control ever since. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />.

 

[kawaiiwoofs]

Yay! I've been so curious about it. I literally look at it every time im in target. I just placed a BB order with this bar /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I got the RW in gold and I didn't put it on my nails yet (since I was already wearing polish) but I did put the bottle in the sun and it changed colors!

You will love it! It's so unique and different. I'm happy Birchbox sent them out originally. I know some of us don't like getting food but I'll take chocolate in every box please!

I was determined not to look at my box until it got here this month, but...it still isn't here (WHY IS EVERYTHING TAKING SO LONG TO GET TO ME THIS MONTH???), so now it won't be here til Tuesday at the earliest and I had to cheat and look! 



I'm SO EXCITED to finally get some tea...subs never send me tea!

I am okay with trying the BP oil...I have a ton of oils but trying a new one can't hurt.

The eyeliner sounds good! Again, I have a ton of black liquid liners right now but I'm excited to try this one.

The perfume sample actually sounds nice, and I've gotten every other Juicy scent they've sent out so I am not surprised to get this one!

The soap, we'll see. I do use bar soap sometimes, but for that price I'll just get some from Lush...feel kind of "meh" about that.

Overall, I think I'll like the box okay...the liner and tea make it for me.
