I got my bag today and I absolutely love the Ichigo!  I was a little bummed when I had heard that all three polishes were pink, but they are all such different pinks that I really like them all.  I also love the Tea Biscuit scent, but the Nucifera scent is not my favorite.

 
I was thinking "why so much pink" but they are unique enough to me I have nothing even close. So in love with Ichigo!! I do love pinks way more than most colors. Pink is kinda my neutral.

 
I got my bag today and I really like everything...definitely worth the money I spent. At first I didn't care for the perfume, but after it dried down a bit, I actually like it.  I'm happy with this sub.

 
Y'know, I was very meh on these in the photos, but I think I can handle them now that I've seen them in-person! And the fragrance is weird, but weird in a way I really like. (Now comes the big question: Will the alcohol in the fragrance trigger The Quease like most alcohol-based scents? Only time will tell.)

I love all three colors of the nailpolish - pikake is very close to stellar treat, which I adore as a top coat, and I am very happy with all three colors!!

I also love the tea biscuit scent, but Nucifera is a total fail for me.  I do not care for it at all.  I can smell plastic in it and don't care for it.

 
My tracking on this is so odd.  I got a notice on the 4th and it shows it left NJ (for Atlanta) on the 4th - I should totally have it now:

https://tools.usps.com/go/TrackConfirmAction?qtc_tLabels1=9400110200882206370711

But then there's an update on the 7th today that says "Electronic Shipping Info Received".  That's usually dated before shipment.

I have no idea what's going on - but it's my first large bag and I got nuthin'.   :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

that is strange.   You can drop them a quick email - they are very responsive and have great customer service!!

It cannot be worse that a trade I am doing with a member here  - it is supposed to go to Canada and it is now in FINLAND!!!

That is weird. Has your mail come yet? Sometimes they don't scan stuff right. It could still get there on time.

I love Tea Biscuit a lot.  I wasn't as enamored with Nucifera until I put it on and smelled it about 15 min later.  It's really grown on me.  It's my favorite of the 3 so far that I have since the April bag.

 
Quote - yep, Saturday's mail already here and it wasn't in it.  That's why I'm concerned.

And Finland, @@biancardi?!?  How is that even possible with GPS?  That's crazy!!!
I have no idea!!  I used the click n ship on the USPS site, so it is addressed correctly to Canada.  I am hoping it just spends a couple of days in the land of ice and snow and makes its way back across the globe...

It will look like one of those old Bugs Bunny suitcases with all the stickers and stamps!   ;) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
So what exactly does nucifera smell like?  I've read reviews that say vanilla, pineapple, booze, fruity floral, lol.  Those are all kind of different.

I smell plastic tanning lotion - seriously.  I don't know what it is, but it does remind me of the beach  - in a bad way - tanning lotion & sweat.  And the plastic.

It is also not wearing well on me.  if it was pineapple - I would love it!!  I loved last month's perfume and will purchase a full size of it.

I waited until I saw a couple opened Mystery Bags. I got the April bag, skipped May, but this one looked good so I ordered the mini one a couple days ago. ^_^ /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I do have a question though. I'm seeing people talking about some variation in the bag contents aside from the polishes. Was that for this month? What were the variations? What was consistent throughout all of the bags?

 
@@Christa W I agree about the Nucifera perfume! I like it the best out of all of the Rainbow Honey perfumes. It smells better on me after it "dries down," as they say. I don't get a plastic-y smell when I sniff it and my nose is pretty sensitive. Maybe they come from different batches? I think another member had an issue with the plastic smell from last month's perfume, too. I will say that I have a really tough time with perfumes drying down right on me. A lot of department store perfumes go all weird on me, but this one hasn't so maybe that's why I like it so much.

@@Tamarin The perfume smells like honey to me at first, and then spicy. Then I smell a little bit of vanilla and something tropical and fruity in there, too.

I love the colors in this month's bag! They look even better in person.

I will say I do not enjoy the Tea Biscuit scent. I'm really not a "food scent" person at all, though!

 
I have a weird olfactory blind spot when it comes to vanilla, so I can't tell whether there's any in here (I was told that there is, but I can't pick it out), but I do know that's something that is notorious for turning to plastic on some people depending on the specific vanilla. It might be a body chemistry thing rather than a batch variation.
