I feel so guilty!

I just placed and order on Wednesday night for the Caudalíe hand and nail cream with the free travel size Divine Oil  (super fast shipping to CA, got it yesterday) and went on my computer and placed another order for the same just now. Do I really need two?!?!

 The cream just felt so good on my hands! Each order was only $5 with points. I was saving the points for the divine oil so at least I get some of that too. 

 
I tried the Dr. Lipp balm last night and my cat went crazy over it! I put the tiniest amount on and when I walked in the room, he sat up on his hind legs with his ears back and sniffed the air.  He's a manx and he looked exactly like a rabbit when he did this.  Then he jumped up on my lap and sniffed my face and lips.  Then he jumped off my lap and tore around the house like his fur was on fire.  He usually does this, but it's at 2am  when everyone is sleeping.  He has never done any of the face-sniffing, though. I made sure to remove any balm before I went to sleep.

It could be the lanolin (an animal by-product)?

Just got back from the BB pop-up shop in NYC. Super fun! For my box, I picked: - Folle de Joie sample (super excited to try this since I never got one sent to me- I see why everyone loves it!) - Maelin + Goetz b5 vitamin moisturizer - Origins "Modern Friction" microdermabrasion - DDF protective eye cream - Number 4 mighty hair spray I really wanted to try the Mally eye shadow stick but they didn't have them when I went. Oh well- I am super excited for the stuff I got. If only every box could be like this! Oh- Hayley was there, which I thought was really cool. She was talking to a couple of women about the Amika spray and how she uses it. I like that BB really makes an effort to reach out to their customers.

I cannot wait to get mine. I placed an order on Friday night with these two products in it. Cannot wait!!! So glad to hear you liked the hand and nail cream... I just really wanted to try the oil. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Amika Bombshell blowout spray

Dr. Jart+ Premium

Dr. Lipp original nipple balm for lips

Eyeko Black Magic mascara

Ruffian Hedge Fund

 
Got my box :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 

Delirium looks much prettier in person than I expected, so I think I'm going to keep it after all.

The oil is great too. I keep trying other ones and this one is just the best I have tried so far. I got the Garnier one  is close but greasier (does not soak in as quickly) and the Caudalie I actually saw some scars start to fade on my legs, skin tone start to even out a little. I keep buying the 15 ml bottles at Sephora and now I will have two when the one I am currently using runs out :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

The hand cream the biggest reason I bought it was because my nails are a total disaster right now. Just a couple of days and they look smoother and no new peeling.

Are you talking about the Divine Oil? I love it! It is amazingly beautiful. I am planning on stocking up over the holidays, I tried some substitutes but it still wins.

Yes. It is hard to explain why I like it, so much better than the others. Its not like the others were bad this one is just perfect.

 
Just got back from the Birchbox Local event - it was very cool. I had an appointment already, so I walked right up and got a makeover from a very lovely MuA with theBalm. She made me want to buy quite a few things when I get my next paycheck.

Having an appointment also means I'd already paid my 15 dollars online, so I got my box pretty fast without having the wait in line. I was really impressed with the sample wall. I was worried that because I went on the second to last day they'd be out of everything good. (I was originally booked for yesterday, but rescheduled because we got to bring our adopted rabbit home during my appointment!)

This is the box I ended up filling:



In case you can't see, I grabbed a full-sized bottle of Marcelle Gentle Makeup Remover, DevaCurl Flexible-Hold Hair spray (their travel size, which they sell for about 9 dollars), a full-sized bottle of Yes To Grapefruit CC Cream, a Beauty Blender (of course) and Stila's Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick in Beso.

I love living in NYC for these things. The ladies were lovely and it was fun to be treated.

WOW. That is an amazing box of stuff!! I didn't realize those CC creams were that big, full sized. Do you like it?

Great haul! I tried the perfume too because of the great things I heard here.

I just put an order in for the Beauty Elixir and put in the promo for the Divine Oil (seemed like a fabulous deal, since I buy that same size from Sephora all the time), but I was a little worried because nothing showed up in my cart or in my invoice. Did that happen with you?

I haven't tried it yet - my makeover from theBalm is too pretty to take off. I'll keep y'all updated in a couple of days, though.

It's funny because I got the blister/card sample of the CC cream this month and was thinking about how that's not enough to actually see if I like it. Now I have enough to figure it out and then some!

That is freakin gorgeous. Now I'm going to be tempted to order it because my friend gave me her hedge fund because she didn't like the finish, and I have fox hunt. Darn my compulsion to "complete" collections.

Wow! That's absolutely fantastic!!! Another reason TK wish I lived in, or closer to NYC.
