Rainbow Honey Mystery Box

[meaganola]

Even if the products are duds, the polish is more than worth the full size price. But there's at least one product that Iove in each bag! I think the cost is more justifiable than Julep at this point.

Then there's the part where it's probably a *lot* easier to swap an unwanted Rainbow Honey than Julep because pretty much everyone seems to get Julep nowadays, plus they do the same stuff over and over, but Rainbow Honey?  Not so much in either case.

I also like the fact that with RH you have more customization options available with layering the glitters and non-glitters. Even if it seems like a meh color in the bottle (I'm looking at you Poffin Party), once you layer that bad boy it really shines. I like that she designs the polishes with that aspect in mind.

Like some of you have already said, the perfume definitely smells better once it's on and dried a bit. It's got a lot going on though. I'm catching a strong honey note to it, especially when first put on. Once upon a time in junior high, I ate an entire one of those bear bottles of honey. Plain. Like, I just sucked it down. Close to 25 years later, honey still isn't the same to me. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I must say though, I'm pretty happy with the couple RH bags I've gotten, and I think next month I'm going to start a sub. It's just different from everything else out there, and I don't feel so bad with my tons of polish if I'm just getting a few minis.

I really enjoyed the mystery bag this month and am considering getting one every month as I have been letting go of other subs in my life. Are their any benefits to subbing rather than just buying the bag at the beginning of every month? I bought the mini bag and Sea Star this month, and I'm wondering if I would be better off not subscribing so that I can add on another polish or item if I want to. Thoughts?

@ I think, don't quote me but I'm pretty sure if you sub those subscriptions get priority over regular mystery bag orders. In other words, you'd probably get the subscription bag before the purchased from the store bag. And the shipping is a tiny bit cheaper on the sub.

Bringing this over from where I'd posted it in the wrong forum: Argh, I want my Sea Star so badly! Has anyone who ordered the June bag (I ordered mine on June 1) gotten theirs yet, or is it just the actual subscriptions going out so far?

I ordered the bag individually (on June 1st I think), it got here yesterday.

I ordered the day I got the email with Sea Star and I got my order yesterday. Sea Star and the mystery bag were shipped together.

I am really loving this sub. I got the mini again and I am really thinking hard about cancelling Julep and upgrading to the large sub.

I think shipping is free if you get the large mystery bag sub.

What is in the mystery bag?

 

[LethalLesal]

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. 

Did you get the full-sized RH mystery bag with the full-sized new rollerball of perfume?  

I was just coming here to ask if anyone who received the full-sized rollerballs, since they changed from glass to plastic noticed a plastic stench from the perfume.  

I did already send my full-sized summer juice perfume back (that I complained about earlier in the thread because ti stunk), per Carolyn's request, so they can check it out (she's mailing me a replacement)... but now I'm kind of worried to buy the June full-sized bag if it really is an issue with the packaging of these new rollerballs.  

ETA:  I do not have any issues of any stinkiness with the mini sample rollerballs at all.

I know you weren't asking me - but I did get the large mystery bag this month (photo here) and I didn't have an issue with a plastic smell - and after it dried the fragrance was quite nice on me.  My husband liked it and he's very picky.

I would much rather prefer to have a glass rollerball for "pretty's" sake though - makes for a much nicer display.

I was asking everyone!  Thank you for letting me know =)  

I agree the glass were much prettier, but a lot of people had complained about them breaking, or being worried to carry them in their purse because of the potential of them breaking.  So boooo on the complainers!!!

I smell the same tanning lotion kind of smell as well, but also something kind of weird and olive-ish. Like I totally loved the Smellbent St. Tropez from Popsugar which had a sun tan lotion kind of smell, but I'm not a fan of this one. I kind of wish the rollerball was in Tea Biscuit.

But I think I'm the only person who didn't like the Rose Nectar from a couple months ago. To me, that one smells like the shisha my old roommate used to always leave around the house and in the fridge. I hated it.

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.

I've never heard that before! I actually love vanilla in most things, but I'm definitely in the plastic camp on this one.

So true!

no, it was the mini...

I totally agree with you.  I love the St Tropez perfume, but this one was nothing like it....And yes, it would have been awesome the roller ball was in tea biscuit.

I contacted Carolyn about the broken cuticle balm tube, and she sent me a shipping label to send it back. She's going to replace it. She said I wasn't the only person who had a problem with the tube not working this month and they're going to examine the broken ones to figure out why. I'm super excited to get the replacement so I can try it out, since I keep hearing how amazing their cuticle balm is.

What exactly is wrong with the cuticle balm tube? Mine won't twist up and I just thought I only got a tiny amount to sample--is this the case or is mine broken too? 

 

[tigerlilly523]

I'm sure it's supposed to twist up; you're probably just having the same problem I did, which is that the part that's supposed to twist at the bottom isn't stuck, but nothing comes out when you turn it.
