i don't know about the self tanning wipes, those are the only things i'm really afraid of. i might try them one day when i know i don't have to leave the house hahahh.

How did you apply it? I'm trading someone for it, but I've never really used bronzer. I saw some people saying they put it all over their face under their foundation! Others use it normally. What did you do?

it was .5950! i've also seen people with a weight around .60 who got it as well.

I'm jealous lol. One of my boxes is .602. Maybe they just shoved more paper in mine hah

i tried it out on my hand since i have to go to work soon and i wasn't sure how it would look, all i did was squirt some out and rubbed it all over the back of my hand until it was evened out and it looked fine that way! but, i imagine it would be wearable with our without foundation.

Thats good to know about the Stila - thanks!  I've never used a self tanner before, but If I get it, I might try it on my legs, but I'm a little afraid.  I'm old enough to remember when self-tanners first came out.  The first one was a product called "QT" that made the people who used it more orange than than tan.  I was a young teenager, but I still remember having bright orange knees and ankles!

OOOH, I remember QT! That was what turned me off of tans in general!

here's my box! this might be my favorite box since the teen vogue box.

update: i just did the math and if i'm correct, it looks like this box is worth about $54!!

 

[marybbryant]

There are a few Algenist products under the "new" catagory on the website that I dont think were in previous boxes.  I would LOVE to try another Algenist product.  Has anyone recieved one this month? 

 

[karenX]

Out for delivery! My mail lady always shows up late as hell, though.

It'll probably be another hour or two before it's in my hands.

 

[lovesmakeup2012]

No shipping notice yet, being patient as it's only the 9th. But hurry! lol.

 

[crazymomma10]

Still no shipping notice here either. I am kinda getting scared though. I had a really crappy box last month and am worried about getting another not great one. Last month's box I didn't use a single thing out of it.

 

[lovesmakeup2012]

Oh and if I get self-tanners they're def going up for trades. I have a permanent tan already lol.

No- last month I got the algensit moisturizer, keratasse shampoo, conditioner, and serum, Miracle Skin transformer (BODY), and color club nail polish in Coral. 

 

[reepy]

And just when I thought it wasn't happening ... the shipping notice with the weight of .4710 arrived.  Trying to dig through all these old posts to see what this might mean!

Me too.  I still havnet been able to bring myself to try one since then, and I know they've improved a lot in recent years.

 

[lovesmakeup2012]

The feedback trick no longer works for me :/

 

[Mandy Kane]
