[lovepink]

that is box 1 for me!!  I am glad it is a different color for laqa - when you have some time, can you swatch it?  thank you!!

You got it!  Go gentle on me, this is my first time swatching and posting publicly!

This is through inside attempting to catch the sun:



And in direct sunlight!



If you need anything else let me know!

Boo they are showing up sideways.

Got my box. Pretty happy with it. The evologie sample is a nice size although the Davines multi benefit beauty sample foil is extra tiny.

 Awesome box!!

Boxes came today the lip gloss is very small

 
Yeah I was shocked at the size, was expecting small but not THAT small! What color did u get? I got sugar which is super light. Not even going to open it - will swap!

Yay! My box came today!!

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!!

  
This is an amazing box in my opinion.

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.

  
Malloy makes good stuff. This seems like an excellent box. Egyptian Magic!! I'm also jealous you got a bright lip stain. Mine is super light and just not for me.

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.

I love Supergoop. Happy to see another person who loves it. I bought a whole kit of it for my upcoming vacation lol.

The lip gloss color I got is valentine ( a bright red ) I don't wear bright red normally

@disconik  I'm also getting a 7 item box but a different one (Box 23!) 

After two boxes that I was not pleased with, it looks like I have a LOT to look forward too-I'm really hoping to like the English Laundry scent so fingers crossed!  I have also been wanting to try the Liz Earle Clense and Polish-Has anyone tried it?!?

I love this Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish! I received a sample in the Full Bloom box and immediately bought a full sized bottle when it ran out. My skin is dry and sensitive so there is a not a whole lot that works for me.

 

[invisiblegirl]

Aaack! I could not resist. Even though it is highly unlikely I will receive the free sample in my Birchbox. I flipped on HSN, and they are offering The Benefit They're Real Push Up Liner.  Free shipping and two flex pays of 12.00. Now watch since I purchased this, it actually will show up in my June BB.

Is this the sheer Laqa? It's way more peach than I thought it would be.. I thought it would be pink /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[gemstone]

Does anyone have a kate spade saturday code from last month that they aren't using? I decided that I wanted to order something for my mom but I already used mine.

As best as I can tell from this on the BB website the color I swatched would be Bees knees



Hope that helps!

Are you still seeing the scheduled delivery on your UPS calendar for what we're assuming is the necklace? I had one show up on my calendar on Monday, with scheduled delivery for either yesterday or today, but now it's not showing up at all.

Yeah it still shows the label as being printed and the "order is processed: ready for ups" with est delivery for Friday. It weighs .4lbs so I do still think it's the necklace. I do not think it'll be here by Friday though.

I just pm'ed one to you.  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 

If anyone else is interested, I have 2 more codes that I won't be using!

Wish I got that color! I love a bright lip!

You better report to us all on how you like it! The YouTube video reviews have been mixed so far. I heard it's great for putting on others - like the absolute best - but really hard to use on one's self.

I've got a couple. If anyone wants them please PM me. Happy Shopping!

i know a few of you were excited about the Dr. Hauschka body wash

i used it today and while it smells good.... the lather does not last at alllllll

i used the entire tube and i RARELY had any lather... i dont really feel clean and the scent does not last

however my skin does feel smooth

ill stick to my dial body wash

 

[boxesandboxes]

Man, I love the Love Shampoo (I actually already use it) and this would be great for travel.  Any codes  out there so I can order on a 2nd account (and hope to get it)?

I got Miss jessie's multicultural curls and it is so terrible for my type of hair. I used it last night and this morning my hair is so gunky and greasy looking. I have fine but curly hair and it's so bad I need to wash it out (but didn't have time to this morning because I didn't expect my hair to be so gross). 

the bright side is i got the creamy lip stain in sugar which I would have preferred a brighter color, but it's perfect for a natural lip which is what I need for the show I'm in. So I'm happy!

 

[Meggpi]

I wonder how that multicultural curls would work on my mom's Jewfro?  Her father had really kinky coarse hair and her mother had straight ultra-fine hair and she has this ultra-fine puffball of curly frizzy craziness.  I've tried to get her to wear it natural for 30 years and she refuses because nothing works in her hair.  I have limp nothing hair and am dying to live vicariously through her.

Yikes, my hair isn't fine, but I was hoping for better from the Miss Jessie's.  Thanks for the warning, I'll be sure to try it on a day when I'm working at home.  :blink:

I know what you mean, though, I had the same problem with the Nexus color protector in the last box.  It left this nasty residue on my hair, and I was dumb enough to use it when I was going to be away from home overnight.  My hair felt dirty, my scalp felt dirty, even the sides of my face where my hair touched felt dirty.  I wanted to put a bag over my head.   :lol:    I washed my hair as soon as I got home.

I am betting it didn't work for my hair because it's so fine. Argan/Moroccan oil products do the same kind of thing, super gunky and greasy. Too bad too because I like other Miss Jessie's products!
