Yes! Almost my whole box actually...Originally Posted by inimitable /img/forum/go_quote.gif
Has anyone been pleasantly surprised with any of the items they received?
I didn't think I'd like the scent of the candle I received (Kyoto - the peach one), because I usually don't like artificial peach. I also thought the lotion would be just ok, since I'm really anti-greasy moisturizers. I've ended up really liking both items, and I look forward to buying more from their brands. I'm definitely going to purchase more of the lotion as soon as possible. My skin stays hydrated all day, but it doesn't feel greasy or anything. The scent is also really nice (coconut kukui).
I absolutely love my candle (Grace) although when I first got it I thought it stunk ! It's got a sort of floral scent to it and I'm not usually fond of florals, but when we lit the candle it smelled amazing. Very interesting undertones to it that are not strictly floral. I will *definitely* buy more Tocca candles, I would like to try the peach or some other fruity kind next.
I also love my Epicuren lotion and my Savon (?) hand soap. Orange Blossom lotion, which smells like orange tang, really... no "blossom" to it at all. Very nice though! Fig hand soap - I will be keeping the hand soap bottle to refill. And the soap itself feels great on my hands.
I got the reddish DL polish and lipstick which I thought I would not enjoy, but the lipstick is much more subtle than it looks. It feels great on my lips too. I noticed that the polish stained my fingernails a little but I assumed it was because I didn't use a base coat. Will try it out again with a base coat.
The only things I didn't care about - though I was not offended by their inclusion in the box - were the clutch (I got the gold envelope) and the cuff (thought I would like it more than I do.) I'll find uses for both items though. I was trying to think of some funky thing I could do to the cuff... like drilling a bunch of holes in it and weaving strips of fabric through the holes or... something. Hammering it out for some texture? I don't know, but it won't bother me if I ruin it so I'm going to have fun with it. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
