Ok, so I just spent four days at athe National Down Syndrome Congress Convention in DC, so I was staying in a hotel with some friends and we took a TON of photos. I put on the Jart's BB early in the morning (while my friend's son was smacking me in the leg going "C'mon Molly, we gotta GO!") and I was just looking at the pictures we took. My hair is a hot mess and my eyebrows need to be taken care of like whoa, but my skin looks damn good! Even in the photos at the end of the day where I'm being tackled by my friend's son (the kid is literally sitting on my chest in these photos while I'm laying on the floor) my skin still looks good!! I love when beauty products work...Too bad I have a head like a pumpkin. I really need to learn how to contour my face.

ooooh now I want to try Dr. Jart's.  I just purchased the Two Faced one (per the Sephora makeup artist).  I haven't dared to wear it alone yet.

Thank you, GinaM!

Sinatra's Kitten, I LOVE it. I'm thinking of combining it with Jouer tinted moisturizer to make it a bit darker, as I'm olive toned and it's definitely not tinted enough for me. But yeah, it makes my skin look pretty nice!

This is one of the things I wrote about when they asked for feedback on the blog. I have olive skin. I WEAR GOLDEN! I got golden, so that's fine, but I don't understand why they are ignoring the profiles.

i sent them an email about it and this is the response

The ultimate idea behind our business is that you get to try an amazing array of products before you consider buying them.  We always strive to send our members products that they'll love, but we are also happy to know we are fulfilling our goal of helping you navigate through the cluttered beauty world to suss out products. This is part of the inherent value of your $10 subscription. 

We are thrilled to provide you with access to new and exciting brands that you might not have known about otherwise. But I can understand if not all of the samples were a hit. 

We sent you the Jouer Luminizing Moisture Tint in Golden as is can be used for contouring in the summer months to give off a bronze appearance. You can read more about how to contour here. The Boscia Green Tea Blotting Linens can be used not only for oily skin, but for sweaty skin as well, which can be particularly helpful when it's hot outside. 

To ensure that you receive products that you are more interested in, I recommend for you to update your Beauty Profile. We do try our best to honor your specifications, so that you always feel that you are getting value out of your monthly box. However, since we are customizing all of our customers' boxes, we cannot guarantee that everyone will receive a certain sample. 

Please be in touch if there is anything else you'd like to discuss!

xo,

Audrey

so basically, i have to use a product that is intended as a full face product differently because they didnt feel like giving me the correct color?

and if they are customizing all of their customers boxes how are you not customizing it to reflect our individual profiles??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Tried out my Blue Ming with some glitter on top. I didn't find it lumpy or runny, but it was harder to apply due to the smaller brush than in a regular bottle.

Wow. I Like That. On my phone the glitter is a really nice silver color and the robin's egg light turquoise just makes it pop. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Thanks girls! I've been on a road trip between 5 states for the last 12 days and I packed some supplies and Blue Ming for when my previous manicure started to come off. While I've been away, I picked up a glitter at 'Icing' (LOVE their glitters!!) called Teal Me I'm Awesome, which has light teal and silver glitter....perfect to pair with this color /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Whoa! That is absolutely beautiful. I wasn't interested in Blue Ming before, but I am now. I really do like the glitter on top, too! Very nice job.

I just picked my car up from the mechanic (out of town on a road trip and the cat. converter decides to go out 

 ) and the receptionist complimented me on them /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Getting compliments on nails is the best! I have a guy friend in my grad program that always compliments me on my nails and asks me what kind of color/design I'll do next lol.

Did anyone else that received a Manna Kadar shimmer lotion receive one that was already opened or possibly burst during transit?  The cap of mine was open and product was leaking.  I e-mailed BB about it and I'm waiting to see if they can send me a replacement.  I wasn't sure if it was manufacturing error or if it exploded due to the hot weather.

the lid on the sample is pretty iffy...easy to pop off. Bad sample design all around :/ Mine wasn't off, but it was barely hanging....if you call them you might get a faster response /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Hey everyone! I had a question: I reactivqted an extra bb account for my moms bday. It was shipped last Tuesday. But the shipping info has still not updated at all and I normally get my bb once they ship in 4-5 days. I've sent two emails to bb. So questions: one,has this happened to any of y'all and you still got it and two is calling them any better? In the summer between teaching I work as an office manager at a radio station so it is hard for me to call because of the phone ringing here, just looking for advice!
