I'm sure she did. From what I've read about the boxes in the past, though, this is an improvement on the contents at least. I think they're earnest about it as they showed up in comments here a few weeks ago--I just think they are either overwhelmed or still suffering growing pains. I'm not going to unsubscribe because I think the box is a great value, but I do want that Bliss cleanser I was promised! They better get cracking on sending those out! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

My box arrived today!! Looks like everyone else's with the St. Tropez palette, so I won't post pics. I really appreciated how the bonus Orly (You Are Not Alone) matched the Spa Ritual polish (Devil Inside). Not sure if it was a fluke or intentional, but they will look nice layered, since the Orly is clear jelly with pink-purple sparkles. Can't wait to try the Surface tomorrow morning, and yes, it did have tape around it. I get that a lot with shipments if they are shampoo, hand soap, etc., so I did notice it but didn't think twice, other than to picture some poor soul with a roll of scotch tape. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 2.6 pounds without the Bliss. Happy happy happy!

I got mine today! Not pictured: baby playing with DVD with other hand. The game cards and bliss weren't in there but I did get an extra polish for being double charged. It's a sparkly red that I'll wear at Christmas. Happy with this box--I love that they spoil a more expensive item to lure people in so they know if it is worth it. Have wanted to try star looks as well and the Ibiza looks nice and neutral.

Edit: also the popcorn may be filler but I am excited about it! Movie night!

 

[rachelshine]

I think the popcorn sounds tasty!!

Gahhh, I still have another week until mine ships out!!

 

[jbird1175]

I got my box! I got the SpaRitual polish in Can You Dig it which is sort of a shimmery bronzey color and my Starlooks came in Casa Blanca. I will be putting both of these up for trade. I am really particular when it comes to shimmer polish and I just got the Stila pallet last month sooo... Despite this, still happy with the box.

 

[Shauna999]

Total Tease- UPS delivered box to my post office this morning but the haven't put it in my PO Box yet- so close but yet so far!!

 

[skylola123]

Nooooo & of course I did not get the St. Tropez palette (received Ibzia)

I also received the nailpolish in the color Street Smart (I do not own any black nailpolish & do not like it...most likely will end up trading or gifting)

Other than that I love this box, the scarf is thin for some reason I thought it would be thicker.

I got mine today. My extra polish is Orly Watch it Glitter. Perfect for halloween as it's a chunky orange glitter. I'll layer it over some black polish for beggar's night. My SpaRitual polish was Sacred Ground which I love! Traded the scarf since it's not my style. I received St. Tropez for the palette which I considered trading, however one of the shades is a very near dupe for my favorite Stila eyeshadow that I am ready to hit pan on so I'll keep it, if nothing else to use when I run out of the Stila. Of course I don't have the Bliss, but I know it's coming.

 

[Eleda]

Got my box. No Bliss and the eye shadow was crushed.

Then, of course, I accidentally put the photo with the tape up anyway /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Haha okay good to know I wasn't the only one! LOL you do sound like you're talking about a maxi pad. On another note about the hair spray, has anyone else tried theirs yet? It smells great on the bottle but when I sprayed it in my hair today, I smell hints of relish. What? 

I'm going to try using it again. Maybe it was the shampoo/conditioner I paired it with that had a weird reaction...

 

[missemiee]

I've tried it for the past two days. I like it. Makes my hair less frizzy and nice and smooth and shiny. My parents are both stylists and salon owners, and I've been spoiled with amazing hair products my entire life and I really like this product. It's definitely a quality product that compares with other high end brands. Mine smells the same on as it does in the bottle. Maybe you got a bad batch? Or sometimes things just smell different on different people once it reacts with your body chemistry. Kinda how perfume tends to do that.

Oh no!! Take photos and contact their CS, I've read that they're pretty good at replacing those items. 

 

[MissKellyC]

Got my box today! Love most of it... Will be giving my popcorn to someone else as well as the chia bar (hate coconut) and the drinkwel since I don't drink... But I love everything else! I got the starlooks palette in Ibiza which I like. SpaRitual came in Hypnotic and I got Orly in Rockets Red Glare. Both are really nice!

 

[NittanyLionGRRL]

My tracking still says two more days. So jealous! Need.... Patience...

 

[yousoldtheworld]

My box came today, too! Mine was also missing the cleanser...but I'm up to my ears in cleansers, so I can wait patiently for it to arrive. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

My chia bar came in acai berry...and I ate it and actually liked it! This was a surprise to me because I am generally not fond of bars...it was good and chewy and fruity. Popcorn will be eaten, nothing terribly special. I am happy to get the DVD, not sure how often I'll use it but I'll give it a try! The games are a cute idea, I'll use the Drinkwell, and the hair stuff sounds right up my alley.

I got the Starlooks in Ibiza, which is nice - I was worried I'd get St. Tropez which I already have. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> The black was damaged, just a

little piece broken off and got everywhere, and three of the pans were loose/not attached, but no big deal, I cleaned it up and I'll glue in the pans. I like getting neutrals once in a while, because I never ever buy them.



(Middle color is not yellow, it's actually a beigey neutral). The black spot on the silver is a bit of the black that got all over before I cleaned it up.

My Sparitual came in a shimmery bronzey shade...not one I'd pick, but it's pretty!



My double-charge bonus is this pretty red glitter from Orly...I love glitter!



The scarf is super cute and I threw it on today, it was super chilly out! It's nice and soft and the colors are nice.



Overall, I'm pretty happy with this box...assuming the Bliss cleanser does show up as promised, I might stick around for another box.

I was initially very upset. Then They replied with the replacement offer. I really like the scarf. Once I get the Bliss and the replacement, I will be a happy camper. Why noone mentions the annoying black paper packaging that it all over with its dust particles? very eww and messy! like whats up with that, no need to use it, the eyeshadow got crushed anyway.

The scarf looks good on you! lol, I meant you look very nice wearing it /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Got my box today. No bliss for me either. I'm hoping it won't take too long to get here. I'm happy with this box. My Sparitual polish is in Spice of life which is a dupe for me, so I will be posting it on my trade thread or gifting it.

 

[tnorth1852]

I got my box last night, and I'm pretty stinkin' pleased! I think the "thrill" would've been better had I not "spoiled" the surprise! Everything inside will definitely be put to use! Oddly enough, I'm exicted about the barre3 workout DVD. I've always wanted to take a PureBarre class, but they're too expensive for my preference. Also, I don't recall having seen these variations in the thread (or maybe I'm blind), but my Sparitual was in "Health, Wealth, and Happiness" and my Starlooks palette was in "Casa Blanca". I don't use greys/blacks very often, so hopefully I can find a time to use these!
