I got my Lovely Day box.

The perfume (coconut mango milk) is good but strong.  I'll have to go easy with it.

Jouer in Gigi.  Basically an orangey nude.  Not a fan, so I will put that up for trade.

The freesia candle is VERY strong.

The Cargo blush in Cannes.  I wish I got the pink one, or the beach bronzer one, but oh well.

I love the sampler of teas!

The nail polishes are super pretty.

Everything else is great!
I'm jealous you got your box! I got my shipping notification last Thursday and it was supposed to be shipped UPS two-day...Monday came and I checked tracking and nothing had updated (like it never left).  Customer service pretty unhelpful "If you don't get it by the end of the week we'll send another one."  I'm most excited for the nail polish, I can't wait.

 
I'm still waiting on mine also :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I don't like waiting :D /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
They shipped another one to me and it should be here Friday.  No idea what happened with my first one (tracking still hasn't updated, so I'm wondering if the label was created but never printed?), but regardless...so.stinking.excited.

 
Mine came! I'm in love with this box! Another Jouer item (lipstick) and I'm happy. :) I'll get a lot of use out this box. I'm happy to see that the Davines hand cream is made in Italy. I'm trying on one of the nail polishes right now to see how they are. I'm happy to get another Rituals shower gel. I've almost used up the one I got from Glossybox a while back and really like it. I've used Caudalie before and like it so I'm looking forward to using the Vinoperfect. I was worried that the Cargo blush/bronzer is too dark for me but it's not. It's a great shade.

What do you think of the perfume scent? I was hoping to get that one but ended up with the coconut/mango.

I got the Desert Tulip and it's nice floral scent. I didn't know they had variations on the scent.

 
I got my lovely day box yesterday. Everything is going to my mom besides the blush and nailpolish which she doesn't use but the blush/bronzer in cable beach was broken :( I was so excited to get that color. Emailed them so hopefully my replacement blush is the same one.

sorry to hear the blush arrived broken. Hopefully you get a new one soon. I've used the blush a few times and really like it. It's not one I would have purchased on my own so it was nice to get it this way. Turns out it's a great blush. I've never been a huge Cargo fan but the recent products I've received in boxes have made me have more favorable opinion about their makeup.

I love this box! This is the first limited edition box I've ever bought, and I've gotten lots of boxes from different subscriptions. Usually I feel like if I'm spending that much money, I'd rather just go to Sephora & pick stuff out, but there were so many items in here that I love. Nails Inc. is my favorite polish brand (never chips) and I love the Cargo bronzer/blush. The Jouer lipstick is a nice neutral pinky-nude-brown (Doris) and I also love Caudalie & Davines, so there were so many wins in this box. I even like the perfume - it's a fresh floral (Desert Tulip) and I love the freesia candle. Total win for me, and absolutely worth the money. I saw the items in Jouer & Glossybox Mother's Day boxes, and I think this Birchbox one blew them out of the water.

 
Got my lovely box a couple of days ago and I have been testing out the products, and this might be one of my favourite limited edition boxes yet! Everything so far is working great!

This is what I got:

Cargo Beach Blush in Cable Beach

- Love the tin!

- The product itself has a fragerence to it, but it is not too overpowering.

- There is diffently some shimmer, but no overboard chunks of glitter!

- Love this shade too, works as a good bronzer/blush on lazy days.

Caudalie Vinoperfect Radiance Serum

- Only contains 10 mL, so is rather small to really get the idea if it is changing my skin in a good way. The full size is 30 mL though, so hopefully the small amount of product will do wonders!

- The serum itself is a sheer, milky watery type. It spreads out well, and gets a tad bit tacky.

- It smells of rosemary, lavender, and herbs to me. The smell seems to fad though after awhile.

- So far I can not notice and results, but I have high hopes for this product! Love the brand too!

Davines Anti Aging Hand Cream

- The box that this came in was gorgoues!

- The hand cream is really thick and creamy, you only need a little bit.

- The smell is not too strong at all compared to other luxury hand creams, and does not really bother me.

- Love the concept of the anti-aging part, hopefully this works to prevent pre-mature aging!

Greenleaf Bella Freesia Candle Tin

- The Birchbox shops says that this is "travel friendly" and etc, but I do not think it is too small! It is 6 oz.

- Usally candles give me headaches, fake and not so natural candles like from Bath and Body Works for example. This one is not doing that so far, and I am really happy about that!

- The tin is so cute!

- The scent I would say is a sweet musk amber, with a bit of a fresh vibe.

Harney and Sons Fine Tea

- Love all of the different flavors they gave to suit everyone's favorites.

- My favorite so far has been the Earl Gray Supreme. As the name states, it is an Earl Gray but more powerful.

Illume Go Be Lovely Demi Perfume in Desert Tulip

- I got the scent desert tulip, and like others have said, it is sad that on the Birchbox's website they are not selling that one, because it is absolutly fantastic!

- The scent to me is a refreashing pineapple with hints of light summer flowers.

Jour Hydrating Lipstick in (?)

- I can not find the lipstick at the moment, and have forgotten the name. It is the same color of my lips though, so guessing on Birchbox's website it is probably Meredith.

- This lipstick is the almost the exact shade of my lips funny enough, but it has a lot of moisture which is good!

Living Proof Perect Hair Day Night Cap Overnight Perfector

- I like the smell, but I have not noticed anything spectacular about it.

- I use my Alterna Caviar CC Cream for Hair at night sometimes after I wash my hair, then put it in a bun as I sleep. When I wake up, my hair looks great! This though, is nothing as special in my honest opinion.

Nail Inc Gel Effect Polish in Porchester Square and Mayfair Lane

- Love this formula so much! I always saw EssieButton on Youtube talking about these, and always wanted to grab some but never did, I now see what she was talking about!

- They go on with much color for how they are so light, best color pay off I have from these types of colors in my collection!

- The formula is very high-shine, and is lasting on my nails really well! So far, three days and no chips (that is a very long time for me, for example, and OPI polish lasts about a day and a half before chipping)!

Rituals Foaming Shower Gel

- I have never experienced a product like this before, and I really want more of it!

- This is so fun to use in the shower, and it does really feel great when being put on the skin!

Over all, this is my favorite limited eddition box to date. The price is soo good too compared to other things they have sold as limited edition boxes! I would reccomend this to anyone I know!

 
I really liked the lovely day box overall too! The hand creme and nail polishes are my fav, but love the hair protector too. The only misses for me were the lipstick (I got Meg, way too light for me) and the candle scent, but I can re gift that easily, it's in such a pretty tin.

Although I liked the texture of the lipstick so much I signed up for the Jouer box (sigh, I'm addicted) to get it in another shade.

I'm already jonesing for another LE box! I hope they do one for summer.

 
Just bought this box. Used mobile 20 and 20.00 in points. Got the mystery pack too. It brought the total down to 28.00. I was checking my points and they gave me 128 points. If you buy 2 limited edition boxes you get 100 points. I had bought the Lovely box a couple of weeks ago. So if you bought the Lovely or any other limited edition box recently you will get 100 points. 10.00 towards your next purchase. Good deal and I think I will use everything in the box. I like that there is a couple of lifestyle items.

Combining it with Lovely Day would make for some really impressive cart tetris. What does mobile 20 do?

I just ordered this new LE box too.  I had a birthday code that expired the end of May for $10 off $50 plus I used $10 in points.  Paid $35 total for the LE box & mystery pack & got the free key chain too for being with BB for over a year I guess.

I also received the extra 100 points & I haven't bought any of the other LE boxes that are available right now.  I wonder if they will take back those points?  Oh well, it's their mistake not mine and I'm happy with my purchase either way.

 
I also ordered the box, and I am really excited for it. I liked either variation in both the tote and the eye shadow, so I am happy that I will not get box envy. I also got the extra 100 points and haven't purchased a recent limited edition box, I really hope we get to keep the points.

Just ordered the box and didn't get the 100 extra points, so it looks like they fixed the glitch. Do those of you who got the extra points by mistake still have them?

 
Caved and bought both the Lovely day and the Fun in the Sun boxes. My most recent (unused) anniversary code from last month (or the month before?) wasn't working at this time so I settled for the BBJETBLUE15 code for a measly 15% off.
