I think they are /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I have box 1 which is super similar. Bummed out cause these are the few boxes that are loaded with foil packets but oh well, can't win em all !

Excited about my box 3 this month. Got box 3 last month too, is that just a coincidence or have they attached a specific box number to specific kinds of profiles now, you think? I got box 3 last month and I'm getting box 3 again too! Weird now that you point that out. Hmmm...

My box was delivered today and got box 9 which seems the majority of us are getting.

I love it...the mascara is actually surprisingly good!

I tried it out and it gave me a lot of length not a lot of volume but it gave me length without being clumpy.

And it doesn't feel like I have mascara on my eyelashes its very lightweight almost feather like.

My oil had spilled in the plastic bag which sucks but there is a lot left so I am happy with that.

What's it smell like? I'm getting the same box on one acct and I'm not familiar with it. Ladies keep saying good things, but I don't think I've ever used the brand at all.

Okay this is my attempt at a single post instead of a bunch of replies in a row...

I am sitting here chuckling at all the people who cancelled after October, whoops, more goodies for us. 

Main Account (tracking number, no shipping email or updates):



what is the cornucopia item? I thought cornucopia was the packaging, it it also the fragrance? and why is the little sample picture pink? So  many questions. I'm meh on the soyjoy, I am on a self imposed carb restricted diet (-20lbs in 6 weeks yay) and all these bars they send are so carb heavy, no better than actual candy bars.

Second Account (Updated Tracking number, will be here Monday)

I have a few boxes of the old style chocopods from last time they sampled them, I found them for cheap on amazon and never saw them again, so I have been rationing them. The new flavors look really yummy. I like maple bacon anything, the potato chip is my absolute favorite. they replaced some of the yuckier flavors with better ones.

He has a huge jacuzzi tub, so I pack Lush stuff whenever we go there or on any trips, I have made a sizeable dent in my stash thanks to a couple of long trips to Vegas and New York. 

I only have 3 requirements for the apartment next year: 

1. Covered lot parking for my car (I double as chauffer since none of his friends thought it necessary to learn to drive) 

2. Puppy friendly so we can finally get a pomeranian 

3. Soaking sized bath tub.

if you love the stila smudgesticks.. they have a set at ulta  5 for $32!

They have that set on Sephora.com, I ordered it to get an itkit promo kit /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />. so yay more samples.  

 

[keelyknowsbest]

So I got my box! The problem is this is how my eyeliner looked 

No cap, all dried out! 

While I was happy my box had a full size lipgloss, this is a real downer

Not bad but not great either.

What size is the Oscar Blandi? 

 

[Tabasc]

I got what I think is box 9.  I'm willing to trade almost everything in my box.  I feel bad complaining, I just can't use this stuff!  I know a lot of folks want the mascara - so get in touch!

Last night, I just happened to go through all of my boxes on my main account since I signed up, and there is no rhyme or reason (aside from mostly odd numbers and a lot of 7s) for me.  In order: 7, 9, 1, 7, 5, 1, 21, 6, 3, 11, 7, 10, 11, 4, 15, 1, 7, 6, and 1.  I also have two accounts that are getting Box 3s this time, and neither of them got the same box or even a 3 last time.  It all seems pretty random.

 

[Melsy17]

Not sure if this was answered, but is the Stila highlighter full sized? Kinda looks like it.

 

[biskit]

Mine was the same, except I got 2 of the pencils! And one cap was floating around in the box, and the other, nowhere to be seen. I tried sharpening one and the top part of it fell off right away because it was so dry.

The cornucopia is a small roller of purfume oil.. it smells nice!

I saw them on Sephora about 5 mins ago! My boyfriend is getting them for me for Christmas.   I dont have any smudge sticks. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  Which itkit should i get.  I just got kit 2 - im in LOVE with the Nars lip pencil. i dont know if i should get another 2 or a different kit. What do you think?

Oh awesome! I sent them an email...so we will see what happens! Fingers crossed!

 

[starfighter82]

I'm getting box 1. I am disappointed I am not receiving a lifestyle extra! I would have loved a piece of chocolate or a soyjoy bar! I also am receiving 2 packet samples, but I am not too upset about that because last month I received zero!

You can also sign up and then cancel after you get this tube. If the products they are offering appeal to you of course. I thought this month was a particularly insane value!

Hey everyone-first time poster here, being lurking around for a few months. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I just got box 9 today but my ModelCo mascara was missing from my box (I should have known given that my weight was only 0.38!) I emailed them but I was just wondering if they will send me a replacement. I'm quite peeved since this was a full size product, so I really hope they send another one and not just offer up points.

TIA!

I signed up...not sure if I'll get this one or the next (either way, it'll be exciting...LOL!)  This one looks great though, so I'm kinda hoping but I won't be disappointed if it isn't.  Thanks for the recommend!  

Back to BB, I have $60 to spend...but I can't decide on what to get.  Everything looks so good but then I think...good enough?  Geez.  

  I need to get off the computer for today I think.  LOL
