I really hope to get the sea salt spray! I've been wanting to try one for a while now, not sure how they work with curly hair but I'm interested.

I want that most, too. I'm afraid my chances ofbox envy are high, this month, but so are my chances of getting a pretty good box.

6 am est is 3 am pst...child's play for me any other day! I almost always stay up. Not worth the lack of sleep this time, though. At least I have something to look forward to tomorrow!

That's how I like to look at it, too.

Oh, ick, I didn't realize what time they updated -- and how close it is to when I wake up in the morning.  And I'm on the West Coast!  They will only have been up for two hours by the time my alarm goes off.  Time to go to bed *now*.

(I am *not* a morning person.  It's all due to my job:  7am-4pm, but I have to catch a bus at a little before 6am, and it takes me ten minutes or so in order to convince myself to get out of bed at that inhuman hour, and then there's makeup, clothes, and addressing kitty demands, which means my first alarm goes off before 5am, and I need *four* alarms in order to get me out of bed.  On the up side, in the fall and winter, this means I get to see the sun rise over Mt. Hood since my office looks out at it over the Willamette River.)

I'm about to take some Tylenol PM to force sleep but I might not be able to anyway. Yesterday I was up until 5:30, so...Nikki, you may have company. 

I am such a dork about BB update day, I can never sleep very well. It's like mini-Christmas!

I could be happy with this box!  What was your weight?  I'm 98% certain I'm not getting the CS palette since my weight is so high.  Which is fine since I have the 80 palette or the 88 whatever.. all the colors.  And I absolutely do -not- need another smoky eye palette!

I was this way for a while!  I hated working 7-4.. living in the city with the commute just made it terrible!  And living downtown is just not an option.. I like having a little more space in the neighborhoods (and cost!).  But it was so difficult.  I'm 8-5 now but I fudge to 9 often, and stay till six... whoops.  Oh office work.

I used to have that view when I worked downtown on the 21st floor but now, I'm down by 405 on the second floor with a much crappier view (better job though!) I was looking through some of the boxes and it seems like they were mixing up the amika dry shampoo and blow out spray, did anyone else notice that? I'm not a huge dry shampoo fan but is like to try the amika one!

this and all the zoya events this week make me miss living close to nyc /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />    I don't remember fashion week being so marketing heavy 10 years ago...

Any one want to take my $15 and make a box for me???

 

[HHummel]

Oh! and my box is 0.4850. 

I have a strong feeling I'll be getting nail polish. I ALWAYS get nail polish. These subs give me nail polish out the wazooh!

At least it's a new brand! I'm excited to see what the formula and brush is like. 

 Finally something other than Color Club.

I know i'm actually excited about this nail polish they are selling ti for $10 a bottle so it pays for the box right there. I'm really hoping for the green and the purple.
