Yay! My box came today!!

IMG_2739.JPG

Still not wild about the shampoo/condition (again...) but the Vasanti and the Laqa make this box for me, so I'm happy.  Plus 7 items!  Not bad!!

 
Holy frijoles! Tracking says I have a box waiting at home! I think this is the earliest I've ever received one.

ETA:  Fantastic mail day!  I think this is box 25.  

Antica Farmacista Bergamot & Ocean Aria body wash

Cynthia Rowley Beauty lip stain in Sugar

Egyptian Magic

Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish starter kit

Miss Jessie's MultiCultural Curls

A Birchbox with SHOWER GEL!  I lovelove*love* shower gel but am on a no-buy for it, although -- shh! -- I did buy a small bottle of Lush Flying Foxes that I am saving specifically for when summer starts (a week and a half away!), so I'm absolutely thrilled to get this to get a little break from the stuff I've been trying to use up for about a year now.  I'm really surprised to see that the Egyptian Magic is a little jar.  I was expecting a foil!  It might be the same amount that a foil would have been, but I can reuse the jar.  Very exciting.  Overall, I had been planning on using all of this box as things to add to my summer exchange boxes, but now I'm not so sure.  I want to keep *all* of the toys instead of just the shower gel and Egyptian Magic (my skin is too dry to not give this stuff a shot)!  Le sigh.  Decisions, decisions.

And to top it off, I received my electric bill.  It turns out that I overpaid last time around, which I knew, but my usage was so low and my overpayment so large that I have a credit that will roll over to *next* month!  I was really dreading this bill because I've been running my air conditioner (just in my bedroom) for at about five hours pretty much every day, so I was fully expecting a triple-digit bill in addition to my overpayment.

(Edited to remove bullet points.  Bleah.  The mobile version doesn't understand them!)

I actually use the Supergoop and Coola sunscreen samples on my hands. I burned the back of my right hand really badly last year (severe 2nd degree), so it was recommended that I should always wear a glove or sunscreen on that hand after it healed to make sure the scar didn't darken. the samples I get are perfect for throwing in my purse so I always have some to reapply throughout the day. I've heard that you should use sunscreen on your hands anyway to prevent sun spots and aging, so just a thought if you can't trade it =)

Got my box.  Was suprised the feet wipes are a whole pack vs the 2 in individual packs I got last month.  Also happy the lippie wasn't purple as I had traded for it last month!

I do the same thing with any small things of SPF. I always use SPF on my hands, and now that it's warm, on my arms when I'm driving. I don't want my hands/arms to start looking old lol

 
Got a perfume in each box ... Josie and English laundry  love the Josie.  The English laundry kinda old lady like anyone else get these and what was your thoughts

 
Checked my two boxes,

Main box:

2nd Box:

I'm really happy with these, overall.
that first box you posted is the box i'm getting in my second account.  i think this is my punishment box.  while i'm excited about the egyptian cream, i'm meh about the perfume, and the other five items are dupes from other boxes.  this will be the FOURTH CR eyeliner i've received in the past 2 months and i'm just hoping it's black and not silver for once.

my main account (yearly sub), i'm getting:

LAQA lip pencil (THIRD time for this! i hope it's the purple one at least and not another clown pink color)

english laundry perfume (dupe)

jergens body BB cream (meh)

coastal scents revealed 2 palette (yay)

caudalie anti aging serum  (yay?)
i rage cancelled my other two subs last month b/c they were always dupes no matter the profile.

on the plus side, at least this is 130 points this month between the two boxes!

Just got back to the state tonight after being away for my 1 yr wedding anniversary.

Good BB this month.  Just disappointed in one thing: the Cynthia Rowely - in Valentine. Holy smokes Batman! I look like a clown baby in that bright of shade! I swatched it, hoping maybe it would wear lighter, but no - it is like neon pink! Smells pretty and seems like it would be a great  lipstain/gloss, but the color looks dreadful on me.  

Egyptian Magic - Really really happy that I got this.  I have heard great things about it.  Cute sample too.  I like the screw cap jar.

Harvey Prince - Hello.  I could have sworn I have gotten this before, but I haven't.  I probably think I did because of reading MUT -second hand sampling through the forums. I had to look back to make sure I didn't get it. Not a normal scent I would go for, but it totally reminds me of the way our hotel lobby smelled in Savannah - which is super nice.  Even my husband was like, "Wow, that does smell like the lobby."  So it will bring back great memories  :wub:

Lierac Paris Micellar cleansing water - YAY!! Great great great size.  I always love trying make up removers.  Was super stoked when I saw this.

Mally Beauty - Full size, cannot complain.  Will wait to try.  I still have some full size mascaras and samples ones to go through.

I hear ya on getting sooo many samples from the same brand when there are so many others out there.  

I will say, my hubby and I used the super-goop spray sunscreen while down south - and no burns at all.  A little went a very long way for us.  My husband burns fairly easily (yay for Irish genes!) - and he didn't have any redness even after spending a lot of time under the sun. 

 
My box came today!

I got the purple Laqa in the box I opened to get the necklace last month its great but I don't know if I need 2.

I don't know about silver eyeliner, the gold dots on the packaging are cute.

Perlier cream is a good size.

The body wash tube reminds me of those stinky bubbles you blow with a straw.

Meh about the Nyakio but I will try it.
