Mine hasn't progressed beyond label generation. It hasn't even been picked up by UPS. And they said that West Coast stuff was shipped last week already, but that's clearly not the case over here.

I expected a drop off from the awesome first box. I definitely think this one was worth the $29 though!

I have to say that I don't love that type of product anyway, but thought the boxes for sure would be better than this for such a luxury subscription. Can somebody tell me how to do a spoiler please? I very much look forward to spending this year with you ladies!
I like the notes, and I'm pretty sure they are not written by children.  It's a nice, personalized touch from the owners of the company.   I guess I look at it as whimsical.

The spoiler icon is a darkened captioned box in the far left corner of the editing bar.  My icons look different than usual, not sure why.

Yes, this month's box is more along the lines of how they described the program - at least one full sized product.  After the spectacular intro month though, it's an adjustment in expectation

.

But, we're getting items prior to their release, which I think is way cool.

I just received an email from UPS that my package will be delivered today!!!!   

  I have not received any prior notification of shipping otherwise.  Even though it is unlikely that I will not have problems with these cream eyeshadows since I as well have oily lids, I am excited to receive my first package from them!

I didn't get a note in my box, lol...but I think a picture drawn by a kid would be adorable! If the value of these items are the same as similar (non-creme) products, they will retail at $30 each. Still way above our $29/month cost.

I agree! These will prob retail for $32-ish each, so definitely a steal. For a luxury brand, $29 a month for a full size item is fine by me. Mine is moving and should be here today when I get home from work! I can't wait, I feel like the champagne will be an excellent highlighter for a wedding I'm attending this weekend!

I'm so happy my box is finally moving! Despite reports of creasing I am totally jazzed to try these! I think I can make it work somehow and the colors are gorgeous!

My box is out for delivery! Hopefully it makes it to me within the next 2 hours, before I have to leave for class - I'm kind of nervous that it won't make it in time and end up damaged because it's still so hot here. Yesterday when I went to my car at noon after a workout I actually burned my hand on my car door, and had to sit there with the AC blasting for 5 minutes before I could even touch the steering wheel! My car thermometer read 106F

I feel your pain.  Definitely the dog days of summer here as well.

Pics in the spoiler:

The product card says to apply a thin coat of Starry Night over your daytime eye shadows.  Interesting - wonder if that will help with the creasing?  Also, Champagne Shimmer will work as a highlighter for me, so I can salvage that one.  My arm swatches never set and they smudge easily, so I'm pretty sure these won't work for me as eye shadows.  I hope to come back singing a different tune once I wear them, hope springs eternal and all

Of course my box arrived barely 30 minutes after I left for class lol. Thankfully my grandparents were able to grab it for me and bring it inside within an hour.

I swatched the 2 shadows on the back of my hand about an hour ago and they haven't set at all. I'll try the black one on my eyes tomorrow but I don't have high hopes of it not creasing if used on its own. Hopefully it'll surprise me though.

Mine is out for delivery! I get back from training around 4 so hopefully it's here by then and not melted! I can't wait!!

 

[sparklegirl]

Mine got sent to my billing address, which is in a different city /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> My parents are going to have to send it to me because I won't be going there anytime soon. Has this happened to anyone else?

 

[jesemiaud]

I tried a different primer today (UDPP) and it seems to work a little better. I also did layers and that seems to help it to not crease. At least it hasn't creased yet...

I layered UDPP, Champagne Shimmer, one of the eyeshadows from my kaleidescope and then the Starry Night on top of that and kind of smooshed it all together, lol.
