Actually this was the discovery dash for august:

• Pixi Beauty Lip Brush Originally $18, Now $11
• Tili Bags Large Collection Originally $9.49, Now $6
• Etoile Nail Polish Originally $18, Now $10
• Spornette Little Wonder Originally $8, Now $5

If you stumble upon the items for the discovery dash before they have the chance to hide them, you can order it at the discounted price.  I ordered an etoile polish two weeks early for the discounted rate because I had put it in my cart before they hid it in the shop.  The ones you linked to are definitely new.

HI!! I missed your question earlier (as I was off shopping online again). I'm visiting your state in a week. uber excited.

Kinda sad the Coola is just a lip balm.  Nothing else in the dash for me.

I need more lotion like I need more nail polish (ie I don't.) but I'll be damned if those lotion bottles aren't freakin' adorable.  

 curses on good branding

Same! But I love all things lavender and it came in those vintage looking tins that I can reuse if/when I actually finish the product. That on top of the free shipping code, it was game over. I lost the battle.

What if you were bald? "Spray it on your scalp so that random various crap floating around in the air will stick to it before it dries. It will be like head decoration!"
lmfao!

Yup.  It's a "sorry i'm not sorry but we got your $10 & you can't do anything about it " response. Especially since you can see my damn hair in my twitter profile pic too.

Yes, I moisturize my scalp every day with shea moisture products and I wash my hair with herbal essences. i got one baby curl growing out on the left side of my head. yay me!

I have to confess that I like things in tins like that because my elbows get super dry (they crack and catch on the insides of my sleeves.  Ouchie!), and if I have a salve in a tin, I can be xxxtra klassy and rub my elbows in the tin.

#honestypolicy I was being very lazy after I pumiced my heels in the shower and did the same thing with my feet in the foot salve. ...it was sooo convenient except for when i had to hobble around after doing one foot and realizing I didn't have socks at the ready! Now I know better!

I guess maybe I'm more particular about scents than I thought. From Harvey Prince I've tried Fling, Flirt, Skinny Chic (which now has a different name), Yogini, and Hello. The only one I thought was even remotely okay was Skinny Chic. Even then, I wound up not caring for it too much after I wore it. I've tried the Rose and Orange Atelier Colognes, and both of them made me gag. I've gotten most of the Juicy fragrances from Birchbox, and the only one I liked (and bought) was Couture La La. That one actually smelled like Clinique's Happy perfume, and it didn't smell as young and sweet. I've really been enjoying Chloe lately, but even that had to kinda grow on me. 

I've noticed that Birchbox seems to mostly attract fruity perfume samples, so maybe you just aren't into that type so much. I respect that some women want to smell fruity, but I prefer florals, vanillas, and spicy orientals. The only fruity perfumes that I like are Escada, and even then, I can't bring myself to wear them. I've noticed that when people say a perfume sample smelled like something an older woman would wear, I might like it. I still like getting the samples, though, because they satisfy my curiosity. I stll really want to try the Pumpkin and lavender perfume, even though I haven't really liked any of the Harvey Prince fragrances, so far.

I really wanted the etoile and I still kick myself for not getting it /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> oh well

Yes!  *clinks _Thor_ Slurpee cup in toast* (just kidding.  I finished the iced tea I had in my _Thor_ cup.  I've moved on to water in my _Iron Man 2_ -- and this one is in fact Iron Man, which is surprising because I could have sworn I had grabbed either Black Widow or Whiplash -- cup.  Klassee!  Yes, my birth certificate says I was born in 1972.  I let my inner eight-year-old pick out my Slurpee cups and flavors.  She is a *huge* comic book movie fan and is anxiously awaiting the Comic to Movies panel at RCCC next weekend.)
