thank you so much for your kind words, everyone. i really, really appreciate it. my parents actually drove the hour and a half here, surprising me and getting my anti-nausea prescription for me along with advil, gingerale, broth, etc. they're pretty sure it's viral or and i pray so strongly not a chronic issue (their other idea) so there wasn't any mention of the bacterial problem and i haven't had bagged lettuce in a few days. i should be better in a couple days. thank you all, again.

Rachel I'm so glad your parents came out to be with you. When I had a problem like that and they thought was a G.I. or that it could be appendicitis, it really was an ovarian cyst. Fortunately this is fairly easy for them to remedy take care

Please.  

 

Okay, okay .... I was just having some fun ... I got a LOT of stuff because I ordered a LOT of stuff ... but I'm guessing you are wanting to hear about the Golden Mystery Box. I got just what lmberis just posted, Version 3, except I did not get the hair ties. I got what appears to be an ankle bracelet (may be an arm bracelet). I got my 3 piece of taffy. I got the Hand Cream, which is a win for me because I was wanting to try a new one this month. I got the Oxygen Nail Treatment, another win for me because I wanted to try it. Then I got four polishes: Bunny, Layne, Sheryl, and Drew. I love Bunny. Layne appear to be a sheer which I do not care for sheers AT ALL. Sheryl, which appears to be more of an dark orangey shimmer, and Drew, which if you ladies remember, my original Drew bottle exploded all over me when the twist top broke off even at the top of the glass. Julep replaced it with no problem. So now I have my first dupe! Not bad, not bad at all, considering how many Julep polishes I now have. I had to pay the full price for my mystery box because I ordered as soon as I saw it and didn't come back here looking for promo codes, but even at $29.99, I feel like I got my money's worth. Meanwhile, we wait to see who scores the jackpot of getting the $200-valued box......

I hope this is not off-topic since all the mystery boxes I have seen have had the Oxygen Nail Treatment:

Has anyone used this?  Do you like it?  And what about wearing polish over it even though the directions say it's to be worn alone?

I am intrigued by the product, but not sure it's for me.

This is me, also. But I bought a second box the following day and used a code, I just hope they're different!

I'm dying to see someone post a huge box.

You're right about Layne! I just tried all of the polishes, and it is SO sheer that it's basically clear. I had to put on three coats for it to look like I'm wearing any polish at all, and even then it just gives a vague french manicure look. Sheryl is pretty orangey by itself. I put it over Bunny for a test and it comes out a lot more yellow that way. It's also super sheer, so I feel like it needs at least three coats if worn by itself.

Also, I swear Bunny smells like a fake fresh cut grass scent when I put it on!

I pray that I don't get version 3. The only color I like, Drew, is the one I already have.

I love keeping those too! I also keep the bubble wrap also... you never know when you may need bubble wrap or get bored haha
ling, I order SO much on the internet that I finally quit keeping bubble wrap a couple of years ago. But I do have fun popping a few before I start cleaning up......


You're lucky! I get a ton of paper in lieu of bubble wrap. I tried keeping some to use as makeshift wrapping paper, but it began overwhelming my bathroom closet.

my mail gets delivered to my school mailbox so i won't get the mystery box for at least a day or two when i can go and pick it up.

How are you feeling now? Were they able to give you some info on what it might be or are they still unsure?

I'm sitting on my front steps watching the mailman fill the boxes. Why do they always seem to take 3x as long when I'm expecting fun stuff? Hehe :-D

The first 2 times I wore it I loved it and thought it did seem to improve my nails. Then like 2 months later I tried it again and my nails got all weird and peely out of nowhere. I don't know if it has a short shelf life or if it was a combination with something else (I never tried putting polish over it) but after that I got rid of it. I finally just bought Butter London Horsepower which is supposed to be amazing.

 

[cari12]

It's here!!! I got version 1 with Nan, Jane, Anne & Maria which is the one I wanted most out of the variations seen thus far /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Also got the Oxygen treatment and hand cream too. My accessory is gorgeous Belina earrings! Very excited and totally worth the $21! My favorite mystery box by far :-D

Congrats, Cari! Glad you got the one you wanted!

 

[hdmom]

I got exact same box, Cari, just different earrings! Love it too! Glad I got this version since I already had Drew and Sheryl and traded Sheryl away.

 

[jessicalriley]

Well, here's my box: Sheryl, layne, bunny, & drew. Hand cream & oxygen nail treatment. Taffy & earrings. I like the earrings! Polishes are dupes.

My nails got all peely too! I am wondering did the Oxygen Nail Treatment do it or was it something else. On my right hand my ring finger's nail is painfully short and every time it grows a tiny bit it, it peels until it is short again. It started after using it a few months ago. I just started painting my nails again last week because I was going to see people.

Thanks.  I think this decided it for me.  I wear polish most of the time so, I won't be keeping this.

So I got Version 1 of the Golden Mystery Box and am very happy with it. It had the oxygen nail treatment, SPF hand cream, and taffy. I got some pretty little coral and gold heart stud earrings, which I just gave to my 10 year old daughter. They are very pretty and she is over the moon about them. The nail polishes are Jane (pretty glitter), Nan, Anne, and Maria (pretty frost/shimmer) Over all great box and worth the $21 to me. Cannot wait to see everyone elses. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[NotTheMama]

I got version 3 of the golden mystery box, hand cream, oxygen treatment, taffy, hair bands in silver, black & brown, and Drew, Layne, Sheryl, and Bunny. Overall I'm pretty happy with it, and I don't think I got any dupes, but I'm too tired to check!! LOL...
