Rainbow Honey Mystery Box

[meaganola]

Ooh,

Spoiler

I thought that balm was another lip balm, and I like lip balm, but I was just kind of meh and maybe even a little sad because we just got a lip balm last month, but a *cuticle* balm?  *So* happy!  I actually have their cuticle balms on my Midsummer and Summerswap wishlists, and this is the sort of thing that I just *know* I will end up buying more of so I can have one everywhere I go, right next to my lip balms that must be everywhere in my life.  And *exfoliating* soap?  Yay!  I'm really curious about the fragrance since there are no notes listed.  I just hope it's not *white*.  Those sorts of scents can be headache triggers.

The colors are a little disappointing to me, though, simply because I'm not a fan of pink nail polish, but I knew chances were this would happen eventually, and their stuff is unusual enough that I won't feel like "Ugh, *pink* nail polish, just like everyone else."

(It's kind of funny how this time around, I'm more excited for the non-polish items than the polish!)

Here's a snap of the mini bag product card:

There's also a little envelope with some cuticle sticks and little pearls -- so cute!

I love their cuticle balms. It's so convenient to have such a moisturizing product that's solid until applied. The one I have is from the Bubbly collection and it turns into an oil almost instantly when applied. The fuschia jelly looks so pretty. Can't wait to swatch them.

As much as I love that we get to try the new products and colors before the collection releases, it seems like it would be bad for business to send out too many colors from the same collection to us, because they we'd be less likely to buy it when it releases. I love Rainbow Honey....I guess I'm just feeling like a negative Nancy today.  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I'm glad I waited to get it.  I have enough pink polishes, so I'm not going to place the extra order for this months.  Someone let me know what the tea biscuits smells like though, please. 

I will be ordering one to send to my friend, though!  =)

I love it!!  Thank you for the pics, @jennm149.    I wish I knew why, being so close to NJ, that my bag just lingers in some wasteland before getting to me.  Is the northeastern seaboard that hard to navigate?  (I have this same problem with my memeboxes, who spend more time in NY than it took for it to go from S. Korea to NY)

Me too.  I have a color that's really close to the main one, so I'm glad I waited - I'll skip this month.  They're pretty, but too similar to what I already have!

 

[jennm149]

I'm not really good at identifying scents, but I'd describe Tea Biscuit as nutty and vanilla.  Haven't tried the other scented item.

@@biancardi, I refer to the main north Jersey USPS sort center as the Black Hole of Kearny.  It usually takes at least a day longer for any package that goes through there to get to me.  I have had more than one package be processed and depart Kearny 3 days in a row before they actually hit my local PO. I was shocked that it was delivered yesterday and I only live about an hour from Clifton.

I don't think I've ever seen a pic of a full size bag....does anyone here get one?

I just ran across this one of last month's bag on Instagram...

I don't have the box yet, but I looked up the name of the perfume scent.

Spoiler

Nucifera is the species name of Indian lotus, so if you have any idea what lotus smells like, I'd guess that's it. I don't think I know what it smells like.

Ooo I am going to be making some of my own perfumes and scented lotions using essential oils and stuff soon, so I need yo figure out where to get their perfume info. Thank you all for the descriptions and research /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I'll be getting this one today as soon as the mailman gets here. The perfume doesn't look as big as the other full-sized ones were since it is in new packaging. I'll report back if it is.

I saw a mini may mystery bag very similar to this one - I didn't get several of those items in my sub.  She had mentioned that this was an add-on.  If that is the case, not cool, rainbow honey.  If it was an add-on, it should be the same as the other mini's.

let me see if I can find that blog...brb

 

[LethalLesal]

Grrr.  They most definitely sent me the may mini bag along with my may large bag... sucks!  And they also most definitely sent me TWO of the honey mint lip balms, when I put a note in to PLEASE SEND ME ANYTHING OTHER than the honey mint lip balms.  

Grouchy start to my day, now.  =(  I'm going to email CS, because I find it more than a little bit ridiculous that they sent me two of the same balms that I specifically requested not to get, when they are selling all of the other flavors/scents on their site. 

ETA, the quality of the new large rollerball containers is far sub par to the old ones it's plastic, and doesn't roll on nearly as nicely.  I'll edit with a picture to compare in a second.  It's listed as being 12ml where the old glass one is 10ml.  I notice it also doesn't smell as strongly compared to my mini summer juice that I received in my first mini bag.  It also has a bit of a skunkish smell to it.

I hope to get a honey mint one - I never used the rose one they gave me - I don't want rose anything on my lips!

Really? I thought from the description on the card it would smell like

Spoiler

coconut since C. nucifera is the latin name for coconut and it's also described as beachy and tropcial"

- I guess we'll just have to wait for someone's actual review of it!

The container for the mini rollerballs is also different and I liked the old one better - my mini lavandula from march is in a glass container but the new ones are plastic.

I think when she says add on she must have purchased the items extra?  Not sure, but I've never seen that little jar on the bottom left, and now I pretty much own their entire collection. 

Here's a comparison picture of my two may bags side by side. 

Far right is the diamond dust I bought and I'm the Hero they included. 

Eta:  I also just noticed the soap from the mini bag has GLITTER in it now, and it also does not smell very strongly.  The soap from my first mini bag smells super strongly and did not have effing glitter.  I DNW glitter in my soap.  I am not 12.  I'm almost 30... lol.  Glitter in my polish only, pls.  (I'm grouchy today, guize, sorry.)

I've also had the "new" summer juice on for about five minutes now (the one from my large bag) and it really does smelly skunky and not as amazing.  I'm sad.  =(  I feel like I wasted $55.

 This is exactly the mini bag I got... I was kind of wondering if you were going to link to my blog when you said you'd seen it on one, LOL! Which items did you not receive? The small jar was a Sakura Matsuri sugar scrub.

@@LethalLesal, I hope you're able to get something worked out... their CS has been nothing but great to me so far!

I didn't get the scrub, and I got a lip balm instead of a cuticle balm.   I can understand the swapping of the lip balm for the cuticle balm, but I didn't understand the extra item of the sugar scrub...was that in your card or was that just an extra that they tossed in for you?

That's really crazy they're sending out different items in some mini bags.  Not really fair. 

I hope I am too, and their CS has always been great for me too.  But I kind of feel like an as***** for complaining... But at the same time, I did spend $55 on all this and the mini midnight garden collection, so since this perfume (what I really bought it for) doesn't smell good, and the lip balms are the ones I specifically requested not to get... that makes me not a jerk, right? 

ETA:  I used the new mini Summer Juice rollerball I just got, and it smells just fine.  So I think it's these new plastic containers that's causing the perfume to stink.
