I am getting a 2nd GB this month...so if I get a pink or blue or bright color liner in that box, I will let you know. 

thanks, and btw, was i the only one insulted by that card that said the my skin and co was a free sample even though we paied for it?

LOL! Yes...that was a bit weird. Apparently they didn't update their promotional material for GB and used the same flyer they would in a swag bag.

Was your "free sample" that we paid for, full or half empty like mine?

i squeezed the tube and air came out not product. lol. i think that answers your question. I did like it once i finally got some out. lol i sent them a strongly worded email, and forgot to mention this product. i think that will be my reply to their responce.

My skin&co tube is half empty too /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I think the free sample refers to the code though (the code for their site we can't use - dun dun dun). I also just changed my mind about the

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

nail polish strips! I just used them and my fingers look great! So glad they sent me a red because I would have given them away if it was a color I don't like for my nails. I wrote Incoco and asked if they have half moon manis, that would be so great because I can't do a HM mani if my life depended on it.

I don't have my box yet but how does the tube size compare? It's supposed to be 15ml or something? I don't know why, but I know some companies use tubes bigger than the actual amount of product they give. 

It once happened to me with sunscreen, 30ml of product came in this big tube, which I could visibly see was half empty. I complained to the company of course, but then when I compared it to some other products I had that were also 30ml, I realized a half full tube was probably pretty close. Dumb, I know.

I haven't tried the Incoco strips, but I was surprised to find that I liked the Sally Hansen ones I got from Influenster! And they lasted longer for me than regular polish does. So while I'm not excited about the idea of getting the Incoco, if I do get them I won't be mad and I'll def. use them.

In my opinion the R29 boxes are sooooooo much better than the regular ones this month!  I am dying to try the Missha if anyone wants to swap something.. I'm probaby a #21 or #23.  I would trade anything in my Glossybox (even multiple items) and I have 2 deluxe size Benefit They're Real mascaras from Ipsy

I'll let you know if I end up with either of those shades. I'm in the minority, but I'd love to try the polish strips.

Are you serious?? I sign up with the KISS code as well and messaged them about it and they said yes my order had gone through with the promotion KISS & that a lipstick would be included in my November box.

Are you going to call them?

Thats one of the main incentives as to why I sign up and now they may not *most likely* will not even include it.

Hopefully that's just my "luck" and you'll get yours - I think somebody here posted that they did get the lipstick. I've tweeted them about it and will email on Monday or Tuesday if they don't get back to me. I'm also planning on saying something about this whole sending out discontinued colors thing - I'm not sure I'm okay with that in a box as pricey as GB....

 Why can't we use the code? I was just trying to find the free sampler set on their site but couldn't so I emailed them about it. Then I came here and read your post, but I don't see any other posts about it so maybe I missed them.

This should be month 1- I bought it on October 16 and it said I was going to get the November box, usually by now though it shows that my order is processing - but it shows nothing, I wrote customer service but have heard nothing, fingers crossed I'm getting this box- it looks awesome!!!

my account doesn't show Nov box as well... not even the 'processing' thing. I also used cosmo code.

I haven't received my box yet and I'm in Northern Virginia, but I saw on here someone else in VA who got their box.  Those who got their box and have their state listed under their username, are all on the east coast so far as I can tell.

edit: In fact, I just now changed my profile to include my location given that I found it helpful when others had their location displayed.

Yes....I got the lipstick with my box. So it looks like you shouldn't have any problem getting yours.

Btw, HauteLook is having a NUME sale. The prices seem to be discounted more than $100....($225 blowdryer for $79)

So if you are planning on using your code, you may want to check out HauteLook first.

Did everyone get the discount for Nume and Skin & Co? I didn't get anything like that in my box! So much for the first box wowing me :/
