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

One of my girlfreinds also has a "permanent tan" also and she uses a self tanner year round to even out her skin tone.  She has the most beautiful skin I have ever seen.

There is hope! I had a box like that in March, but then the April and May boxes were my best ever.

I'm at .5500 -- excited to see what I get. 

BTW, the bronzer also works as a primer from what I've read, so you can use a thin layer of it on your skin under makeup. That's what I'll do if I get it.

And one suggestion to those who don't like the self-tanner...this may not apply to everyone, but if you are going to an event and are wearing a dress that has a different neckline than you usually wear, you can use self tanner to even out any uneven coloration you may have. I did this for my wedding because I ran a race the week before I got married and had a faint X in the middle of my back from being outside so much, even with sunscreen. The self tanner I used helped a lot and the X in the middle of my back disappeared. If you've ever seen wedding pictures where there's a bridesmaid with a pink chest and pale arms and shoulders wearing a strapless dress, you know the kind of situation I am talking about.

My skin is pretty even but that's a nice idea for someone who needs it.

Not loving my box. Just arrived today, shipping weight was .4700
 


ETS: I did get shipping notice for my 2nd box, so hopefully it has something in it that I love.

This does look somewhat boring. I hope I don't get that one either but at least you have the lip/cheek stain.

 

[serioussparkles]

I hope you don't get it either.. Way boring! It's like they are either super fab or super drab. Unfortunately, I got the drab. I was hoping for bronzer, or headband, or something fun.

I wouldnt mind getting that box! That face cream is supposed to a good product, but its really expensive (110.00 on the BB website).  I have my fingers crossed that I get that this month! 

Its true what they say about one persons junk is anothers treasure!

im really worried ill get the stretch mark cream... if i do i might email them, because in my profile it clearly states that i am not old enough that i should be having a baby! I made that mistake last month, i got anti aging cream! Lets hope it helps this month

 

[heather4602]

My shipping notice is .473. I've seen some amazing boxes and ones that I think are less amazing close to this weight! With my luck I know which I will be getting!

 

[serioussparkles]

I'm sure there are lots of people who wouldn't mind it, but it doesn't exactly fit my profile... I put that I am more of a adventurous/trendy person who would splurge on makeup, and I did not select anti-aging as a skin concern.

In the email from BB " Your Box Has Shippped!". That one.

But you can get stretchmarks from growing tall too fast, also weight gain/loss, so it's not just from pregnancy.  And a lot of young adults are having babies way too young so...lol. Both and anti-aging cream and stretch mark cream can be used as a preventative measure. I don't think complaining to BB will do you any good.

Or they might just think you're fat...

I just tried the Stainiac on my lips, and while I like the color (I got Beauty Queen), most of the color migrated around the edges of my mouth so I look like I'm just wearing lipliner. I guess you have to really layer it to get a consistent color.

I also got the shipping notice on my second account- a weight of 0.5440. My mom really wants the Stila bronzer, so I'm crossing my fingers that it's in there.

I used a link from the May GG boxes so that I would get a box right away. I don't know if there is still a waitlist or not.
