But, I kind of feel like the foundation is just sitting on top when applied with a brush. Maybe it is the 'making the sponge wet' step that makes a difference? Not sure, but I feel more comfortable using the sponge. I also have Sonia Kashuk blending sponge which I feel is quite comparable and cheaper. But it is a little stiffer than the Beauty Blender....just my two cents! 

 
What she said.  I also feel more comfortable w/the sponge.  I kind of "roll" it on my face - like stippling and then blend a little on the edges.

I just posted a general message, but you can always check the trade threads, because I see people posting it on there! Good luck.. I offered people prepaid mailers. I got a sample for my papa in my own box to add to his Father's day gifts and two to gift to my teen brothers with some Murad cleanser from SS and a few other odds and ends...just a little gift box for surviving Finals and another year of high school lol!

My box is supposed to ship on the 13th too, I am guessing with the new wave.  Do you know what box you are getting via feedback method?

I got Box 23. Actually really happy this month. Except for the perfume. Don't like the smell at all, but the other stuff yay! ^_^ /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I think I must have a broken nose when it comes to the Orange Sanguine...I don't think it smells bad, but to me it smells exactly like bubble bath.

Ha!  The heavy orange smell fades and then it does smell more like "clean" to me.  But I'm fine with orange ---> clean.  So I can kind of understand the "bubble bath" thing you speak about.

has anyone gotten the lip/cheek stain in anything other than beauty queen?

I understand how light-skinned girls who don't tan much don't want the stila one step bronzer, but I'm light, with blond hair and blue eyes, and I want thebronzer because I do not tan the same all over. My decolletage especially.

i am really excited for it ! i tan easily BUT i always have high spf on my face and neck so t hose are pale in comparison to my arms/feet (farmer's tan) etc that i am not as religious about protecting (oops) - hoping it can even me out and lessen the amount of makeup i will actually end up with on my face over all. maybe just the bronzer and some powder?? i can hope /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I don't tan evenly either...I'm stuck with a farmer's tan as well and cannot seem to get my legs a beautiful bronze unless I lay under a bed...haven't bothered doing that in a few years and probably won't. I'm also tired of blinding people with my legs! So I like the idea of bronzers and stuff..plus, you can always use it to contour and add definition! Mine goes on the face and around the decolletage for some "extra" definition lol, which I definitely don't need, but do like!

Haha that is funny. I don't know, just doesn't smell good to me at all. I'd be fine not getting perfume samples at all lol. 

 

[Lychae]

For girls who got box 4, what color eyeko did you get?

 That means you're on team #noperfumes lol...i'm all for them and if it doesn't work for me, I can always regift or make some sachets!

 

[Jazbot]

But yea, I know what I'm getting but my Tracking number hasn't loaded. So just the waiting process...
