What bothers me the most about the products is back when I got my first bag, a fellow co-worker received hers also and we discussed how the samples looked like they had been hand packaged. We originally thought maybe they were getting full sized products and packaging them into their own sample containers. She contacted NBB on their FB page and asked if they packaged the samples themselves or if they were received that way. They told her to rest assured all products were shipped as received by the manufacturer. Now knowing the vast majority of the samples are their own product, again, there is a huge feeling of having been mislead. I do not have an issue with homemade or small business if they are upfront. It is only when you feel you have been deceived, that everything about the products and the company comes into question. Even the fact that the mascara came in a box in the Christmas sac but was thrown into past bag without any kind of packaging is bizarre. It seems that the beauty box is getting sub-standard samples at best. I mean, honestly, after all the waiting, you would think a full sized or even half sized soap would have been reasonable, not something that was so small it was virtually useless. The bag value was grossly over rated.
My Golden Berries stick smells faintly fruity with a hint of mint, but as I said in a previous post the body scrub had leaked and it had a candy cane scent so it may be seeped into the stick. The smell really didn't matter to me b/c the greasy texture was just too much for a face. (It does work great as a replacement for goo gone..It takes away the adhesive residue left by price tags, stickers etc..not worth 40 bucks, but a re-purpose?)
