Okay, I just subscribed for next month. I am joining the thread to see what you guys get!

 
Starlooks has been in an elated frenzy since you all thought this mystery item was such a good idea. We are SOOOOO excited for you. Remember, these won't be basic items like black or brown or neutrals, because we will always be offering those. These are very unique items that have special properties and colors and uses... SO:

-If you have any inquiries on how to use something you received, because it looks crazy, or not like anything you would try on your own or ever had before, email [email protected] with the title: "Question on how to use my mystery item" and your inquiry will be forwarded to our beauty consultant who will give you a few tips on how to get an awesome look! Some items can be used many different ways!

-If you placed more than one order, such as two separate orders, and you accidentally receive a duplicate, we apologize for the mishap, just send it back to Starlooks with a note that says: "OOPS! I GOT A DUPE! and we will switch it out for you, and mail it back out the same day we receive it at our facility. 

Lastly, we really hope this idea works out for all of you, and leads you to try some amazing things with makeup you have never tried!! If you loved this system, and you love your items, even after you have a question about it and our beauty consultant helps you work it out, we are seriously considering doing this monthly or every other month. So help us keep the idea alive by opening your minds! Everyone loves a little surprise now and then, and a new little makeup item that takes you out of your "box."

PS. We're really looking forward to this month's Starbox too! Can't wait to start sending those next week!

Starlooks Loves You!

I think the mystery items are a GREAT idea! I'm not at all afraid of color or trying new things, but when it comes to picking things out and buying them myself, I find I do tend to gravitate toward things I know I like (which is why I gravitate toward subs in general). This will be great for me...I love surprises!

 
Yeah, I think the Mystery item adds a little spin on the boxes and bags. I try to never spoil myself on what I am getting, so the whole idea of more MYSTERY is always a great thing!

 
See, I am terrible and no matter how hard I try, I have to spoil myself and ruin the surprise. So the only time a sub is truly a surprise for me is if I'm among the first to get it, or with Birchbox, when there are a billion variations and I sometimes get ti before the site updates, which rarely happens! So for me the mystery items are going to be like Christmas :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
Lol! I definitely always feel like I "have to look", but I have more fun opening boxes and being like "Okay, what do we have hereeee?".... But that itch to spoil...... I won't lie, it's there. ):

 
I love the mystery items! I also love that it's more reasonable. I spent $60 in a stupid move on an Illamasqua mystery box and was completely disappointed.  (Bright red blush, yuck beige multipurpose color, etc).   I'd really like if we could buy mystery items in color families. Unknown item, unknown color, but I could avoid things like yellow which will never look good on me. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Yes, that would be nice!  I would like if we could specify something we really don't want...in my case, it'd be any orangey, reddish, or reddish orangey lipsticks, only because I have amassed so many of them in the last few months! But generally i'm happy to try any color, even if I don't think it'll work on me :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> And I suppose it would kind of defeat the purpose, as I'm sure there'll only be so many items they're discontinuing each time they do it so there won't be a giant selection or anything like that.

I haven't tried anything from Starlooks yet I haven't loved, so I'm super excited for these. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
I'm super duper excited too. This month is my first Starlooks. I've cut all subs except Glossybox and Starlooks. I ordered one mystery item. I fought the urge to order more but I really want to pick up the iPrimer and the lash boost if it ever goes on sale.

I signed up and got charged today.  Am I getting May's box or do I still have to wait for June?

You will have to wait for June. The cutoff for any given month is the end if the previous month, so signups for May ended on April 30th (or maybe a day earlier. I can't remember for sure). But you will be able to get the May box for $25 probably the second week of June or so when the extras go up for sale on the site.

 My wallet is still hiding in a corner and whining from my recent Pacifica order, so I couldn't justify spending any more this month, but I REALLY hope Starlooks starts to do this every month!

From what Marci said, I THINK they will. They said they always have new colors, and they would never get rid of the neutrals, so I would think they are testing the waters with this idea now, and hpe to set it sale if it works out well. Of course, I don't work for Starlooks, but just trying to read minds here. :p /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
I got a mystery box too. I'm excited that these are going to be colorful products! I don't what it is about a mystery box but I love them. What is weird is that in everything else in life I hate surprises. I even read the end of books before I get to the middle of it.

Yes! And, even if something isn't your usual style, it's great to have to add to your collection. Because I don't know how many tiems something has come up and I wished I had a certain color (holidays, parties, just a particular look I have in mind) and I've been frustrated because it's not something I usually wear or have, and my vision goes unrealized...my subs are totally helping with that! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

The closest thing to a sample they have sent since January (actually, looking at previous boxes, in *any* of them, but I've only received the Jan-Apr boxes, so those are the only ones I can personally verify) was the lip scrub in March, and even that's not a sample.  It's just a tiny jar (you barely need any, so the size is appropriate for the product.  It's about the diameter of a nickel and, oh, maybe half an inch tall), and that's the size they actually sell (and the price is appropriate for the size:  two bucks!).

Quality:  Great!  The only thing I have really been disappointed in has been one gel liner (Chancy, the shimmery purple), and I think it's actually user error since it's the first shimmery gel liner I've tried to use as liner (I use the Princess Diaries gel liner from the February box in a completely different way than this one should be used, and it seems to be a completely different consistency, too).  I definitely need more practice with it because I'm still not quite sure about the best way to apply it.  I'm very scared of the day they launch their new and improved swatches because I know my wishlist will just *balloon* as soon as I see all of the pretty colors.

(I have to confess that one added touch shows me just how much thought goes into the whole subscription package:  Even the box itself is coordinated to go with that month's selections.  February's pinkapalooza was in a pink box with purple metallic elastic holding it closed.  January with the metallic green liner and green bracelet went out in a green box.  April's neutrals had a blue bottom and brown lid, like the earth and sky turned upside down.  I forget the colors of the bands holding those other three months' boxes closed, but I do remember that they matched.  I'm looking forward to seeing the May box almost as much as seeing what's *in* the May box!)

Thank you so much! I'm in!

This sub sounds really fantastic.

I am about to purchase the April box and the mystery gift (or two), along with the subscription for June.

Hope you get an awesome teal filled May box of life changing joy!

 
I received my two mystery items! (I love being so close to where they ship).

Skinny Dip Lipstick

Sand Lip Liner

Both very neutral colors without being typical browns. For me, perfect! I'm still scared of bright colors and love these.
