What stila color has everyone been getting?  Does it match your profile description?

I was very sad for about one minute. The fragrance disappeared so quickly, however, even with it being all over my hands and arms and the floor, that I felt as though it was a message: don't love this so much, because the staying power is zero. Oh, well. It did smell lovely on me, not masculine at all, fwiw.

Was this an Atelier cologne?  Because I had contacted them a few months ago about their women's perfumes.  They sent me 9 (!) different samples, and I've tried about 4 of them.  Some of the best scents I've ever smelled!  Except that I can pretty much dump them on my hair and clothes, and they're still gone before I leave the house.  =(  Breaks my heart.

I read this completely wrong! I read it as "there are 20 small tubes of lube" ... I was like what the heck, BB has gone too far lol 

Teehee!  That would be an interesting lifestyle extra...

Come to think of it, I didn't get a tracking # via email but I do see it in my profile. I didn't get my 20% off promo code for the hubby's 6th month anniversary either. I did get my tracking for the order I placed though. Odd.

Have you bought any women's items with your hubby's code, by chance?  I tried to get an item for me with my hubby's welcome code and it wouldn't let me, even though his box is on my account and all our points go into a common bucket.  Fluke, maybe?

Yes!.  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I used the 3 month one on these items but never got my 6 month one so I had to contact CS to get the discount for my latest order (which included his favorite shampoo).

Hmmmm - maybe it was because there wasn't a men's item with it?  Hee - he hadn't even tried any of his items yet, so I tried to see if we could not let the code go to waste by just ordering one me-item.  (I did order an item from his first box for him a few weeks later, but of course the code was dead by then.)

And by the way - HolyCOW!!!! Nearly $200 worth of items for 5 bucks?!?!  Nicely Done!  *Clap. Clap. Clap. SlowClapsItOut for Zadi...*

Has anyone tried the Oscar Blandi texture/volumizing spray? Very interested to see how it works.. Is it like regular hairsprays that it makes your hair stiff, gritty, crunchy, sticky, etc? Or is it more natural/touchable? Still, if it really works, it beats backcombing /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />.

I'd be interested to know this too!

I think trading you my brightening mask was one of the first trades I made!

Looks like i'm getting box #3.   Not really excited about the Miricle Skin Transformer & the Rose Cologne.  I was really hopping for some MOX or the spray oil.. my skin is SO DRY right now... anything would have helped!

If anyone has MOX or the spray oil and wants to do a trade; let me know.  I have lot of stuff from BB and IPSY.

Thanks

Susan

I really played with the mascara this morning... It's kind of ridiculous how long it made my eyelashes.  They are almost touching my eyebrows!

I'm getting the mascara, too.  Obviously, since I just bought four of my regular fave AND got the Body Builder from myGlam last month (which turned out to be AMAZING), and then got three of the Lancome ones from the itKits from Sophora.  I'm sure I'll end up getting They're Real from myGlam this month, too,  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> so this'll have a lot of competition.  I've never really compared mascaras before.  It'll be very interesting to see how all of these stack up!!!

Booo--no shipping email for me and the tracking number on the site hasn't updated!  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  I never get my notice this late.  I know things were going to be delayed because of the hurricane but my mom's box shipped days ago and we live in the same zip code!

and I loved it! thank you!!  

of course it's fair enough that my husband thinks i look like a psycho and has to take pictures...

Oh, is that the brightening mask from last month? I scared my roommates with it!

Updates for those whose pages haven't changed yet. I just called, and even though my page is still October, Molly was awesome and told me what box I'm getting, so maybe it's the same for you?

My second account is box 20, so I'm pleased. I really wanted that mascara. Of course, I'll have two of the Miracle Perfector and the perfume, but I think I'll like the first item enough to want two, and I'll either get the perfume away or trade. So yay!

They are not shipped by location, boxes are shipped in waves by box number.

I have to say this month's BB is the worst that I have received.  It was all a skincare and 3 of the products were from the same company.  So dissapointed.  I am really considering cancelling.

Does anyone know if they are sending out the different varieties/scents of the One Love Organics Aromatic Body Serum or will everyone get the lavendar scent?

I received the chamomile fragrance.

Did she tell you when the box would be shipping? My main acct still shows Oct's box and there is no shipping info.

Thanks
