It's very refreshing, I just wish it spritzed out of the bottle a little more evenly. I feel like it shoots a pointed stream and have to spray a few times to cover my face. Is everyone else's bottle like this? I have Burt's Bee's facial mists and the spray mechanism on those distributes the product much more evenly. Maybe I have to hold it further away from my face? 

The scent is nice though and I'll definitely be using it a lot this summer /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I do love mine but I doesn't have even coverage like you said. The nozzle is cheap.

eeep stream! i bought a set of travel bottles from the dollar tree and it has a spray bottle (about 2oz?) with teh most perfect misty sprayer ever. i keep just plain water in it and mist myself and my daughter with it all day. cheap solution ? /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I love the herbal scent it has! Like a sachet or something, plus my face feels good afterward. Never tried the Benefit..how's that compare? As for as the Melvita, I would have loved to try it, but I'm content with my Caudalie elixer and Trilogy rosehip oil. I guess I could always dilute the Trilogy oil with some spring water for a facial mist.

The Benefit mist has a nice scent and good wide mist. It leaves the skin soft. There is no tingle or anything, but you get a nice size and is cheaper, so I can use it more often. 

However nothing replaces the Caudalie in my opinion. I have tried to find ways to make it myself, but have failed. I just adore the smell and wish I could use it all throughout the day.

Anyone else receive the Melvita Floral Water if so what scent did you receive?

I received the Rose and it does have a pretty strong smell when I first spray it, but then I don't notice it too much.  I wish the mist would come out a little finer than it does, though.

Didn't we get a $10 off coupon for ModCloth in one of our more recent Birchboxes?  I wonder if they're still applicable and not expired.  Maybe there is a code that those who want the headbands could use.  Although, I think I remember that it was $10 off $75 . . . and that's a LOT of headbands!

That's a good idea! i'll have to keep an eye out for bottles liked hat next time I hit up dollar tree.

Something I think is unusual is that the Modcloth headbands are different widths. The red polka dot one is MUCH wider than the deer print one and sits very differently on my head. I personally prefer the smaller one for my fine hair so before I purchase more I'll be asking how wide they are.

Thanks! I'm gonna keep this in mind /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> The headbands looks really cute on you!

I have the Stila eyeliner in the pretty blue color.  The color is nice, just a little too blue for me I'd be happy to send it your way!

My BB on my 2nd account never came. It got re-routed and then fell off the map. I called BB CS on Tuesday and was told they'd hold a box for me if it didn't come by this Saturday.  Today I got the replacement box in the mail!  Wonderful CS!! I would have preferred the box I was supposed to get, but that's not the fault of BB. Either UPS or USPS screwed that up.

i placed an order not too long ago for the red headband and with tax & ship it came out to $19.01. they also have a referral program called "share the love", here are the deets:

 

[astokes]

I bought the Borghese Crema Saponette Face & Body Soap and it came today.

It is the BIGGEST bar of soap I've ever seen. (Unless you count LUSH)

11.5 oz!

 

[meaganola]

I got the polka dotted Modcloth headband in a swap, and I wore it today, although I wore it upside down so it was flat across the top of my head, and the ends were at the base of my neck.  I look vaguely Asian (very, *very* vaguely, but I have been questioned about my ethnic background more than a few times.  When I was a kidlet, I looked more Asian than I do now, and a lot of very inappropriate people who had no right to know asked whether I was the result of my father's tour of duty in Vietnam.  As far as my family can figure out, it's actually Cherokee from several generations back), and I wore a black shirt.  One of my coworkers told another one that I looked like a samurai.  I'm thinking the kanji tattoo around my left wrist didn't lessen the impression any.  On the up side, he didn't say sumo wrestler.  

 

[ladygrey]

I finally got around to using the Number 4 Super Comb Prep and Protect and ohhh my gosh, I LOVE IT. It had gotten set aside because I was like, mehhh, a leave in conditioning mist? blegh. I spritzed some in after my shower, and my comb just slid through like buttah. As I was combing, I actually kept saying, "Oh, wow. Ohmygoodness. Goodness. Wow." which kinda weirded el hubs out. Definitely gonna purchase this. It's pricey, but I think it's worth it. My current conditioning/detangling spray (Cristophe, ~$12) just doesn't cut it. I still have to work through tons of tangles. 

Birchbox, I'm so sorry I ever doubted you. You obviously know what's best for me. I'm comin' on back and resubscribing!

modcloth is great, though... they accept returns with free shipping if you don't like something you purchased. i have bought several cute dresses from them and a couple of necklaces (one broke, sad; but the other is a staple in my closet). i definitely have bought shipments where nothing i tried on worked at all, but i have a few favorite things from there. I highly recommend reading the reviews before purchasing. They are great because many people list their measurements and what size they purchased. And if something is out of stock, they really will notify you when it comes back!
