Rainbow Honey Mystery Box

[sstich79]

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. 

God, you're SUCH a jerk! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Nah, I think it's perfectly reasonable to voice your concerns. @@biancardi, I can't say for sure because I don't have the card anymore, but I feel like maybe it wasn't? I seem to recall being kind of confused about its presence, which makes me think it may not have been. I wonder if maybe the scrubs (which are tiny, by the way) were thrown in for just the people who got the mini cuticle balms instead of lip balms? Just spitballing, but perhaps they ran out of lip balm and included the scrub since the cuticle balms weren't a new/unreleased item that had a lower value than the lip balm?

Lmao, I am a total jerk today... four hours of sleep does that to me, so I'll take it even though you were kidding... hah. 

That does make sense.  I didn't notice that you didn't get the lip balm.  I thought it was in there too.

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!

PM me your address and I will mail you one of the two I just got today =)

@LethalLesal -- I got a lip balm, not the cuticle balm, in my mini bag last month.  But I did get a good-sized foil (not a jar) of the hand scrub.  So I don't think the scrub was only for those who got the cuticle balm.

That's really odd!  I got the foil of the scrub with the large mystery bag I got today, but nothing extra with my mini bag.  Maybe someone who was packaging got a bit happy and had a couple drinks while they were packing up orders?  Haha.

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!)

Spoiler

It's amusing in a roundabout sort of way that I've used my Candy Cane cuticle balm as lip balm and plan on using my Rose lip balm as cuticle balm as I can taste the fragance and it's cloyingly strong.

Adding to the "ugh, pink brigade" While I do wear pink, it's not that frequent and it has to be the right shade of pink. So far I've linked the pink polishes, but still waiting on my shipping confirmation here.

Also: does anyone else think of Bleach when they see Ichigo? Does this mean that there could be a Bleach themed collection in the future. She did one for Clover, so I'm hoping so!

I'm just hoping that the glitter topper isn't as similar to Foxglove Foxtrot as it looks, because I picked that polish as my "sorry we're backed up" extra item last month when the Nail Honey was out of stock.

I just need to see the shades of the

in better pictures to be sure that I'll like them first.  It used to be my favorite color, but now I can't stand it on my nails anymore a lot of the time for some reason.

Yeah... can't tell much about that middle one at all. I've got hopes for the bottom one... it has the potential to be my favorite because I like those

milky glitter types like Petit Four and Sweet Talk

a lot.

@@DragonChick makes a great point.....@@LethalLesal you could use your hiney mint lip balm as a cuticle balm!

I'd rather just pay it forward in kindness to someone who will hopefully enjoy it like someone who is totally awesome (YOUUUUU!) once did for me.  =)

Same!!!! I had never used a polish like that before at all prior to Rainbow Honey, and while I didn't really enjoy the color of the

Petit Four at first, because yellows usually look awful on my olive skin for some reason,

it quickly became one of my favorite RH polishes just because of how different it was.

I haven't gotten my package yet but I happen to love

pink nail polish

so I am very excited about these colors! I also love that they send so many extra products to try each month! 

 

[jennm149]

I'm working from home tomorrow.  If no one has a chance to post anything before then, I'll swatch the polishes and get pictures up.  I also have the older polish someone thought might be similar to one of this month's items that's already swatched, so I'll put that up, too.

Sorry the pics were so bad (and small?)  It's just tough on weeknights to get it all together.

Oh, cool, thanks! I actually haven't seen a single swatch of the polish I mentioned, and I haven't gotten around to using it myself yet, so I'll be curious to see. I still haven't gotten a shipping email, so it'll be a while before I get to make my own comparison. Le sigh!

it's getting a little cluttered with all the quoting of spoilered posts around here but I just wanted to say that I emailed CS about using the cuticle balms as lip balms and they said it was not recommended.

Lmao, I had to do it.  Don't hate me, please =)

I figured as much, since there's the extra ingredient - cupuacu butter in the cuticle balms.  I figured it was only for skin and not for ingestion, as you ingest lip balm ingredients.

If I had to guess, it's probably because there's stevia in the lip balms, not because of the cupuacu butter.

stevia is in food though...

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?

I didn't get a scrub in my May mini either - and I got a lime lip balm (that I swapped).  No cuticle balm.

I had recently ordered a candy mountain cuticle balm and already had a sakura matsuri cuticle balm so that didn't bother me so much.  I just wish I'd got the honeymint lip balm instead but that wasn't their "fault".  Oh yeah - AND THE SUGAR SCRUB.

(My mini soap had no glitter in it either, by the way.)
