I found a tampon that I really like called Rephresh Brilliant PH tampons.  Reduces the usual PH increase during that time.  It's worked wonders for me.  I guess enough people didn't hear about it, try it or signed on 'cause you can't find it in a CVS or Walgreen's store anyone.  Only available online and I hate paying for shipping w/ minimum $25 purchase.

Sounds good I might try it!

My main problem is really heavy flow on two days of my period, and by heavy I mean buckets heavy! Like I need a super absorbency tampon in addition to always infinity pads because it will leak out in an hour no matter what I do. So I'm still in the middle of searching for the right products for me.
If anybody here is in a similar situation and you have good brand/product suggestions I would love to hear what they are /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Have you been to a gyn about that?  The guideline for abnormal heaviness is something like filling a super absorbency tampon in less than 2 hours more than once a cycle.  I have the same problem (won't TMI myself with reproductive disorder talk), birth control helped some, and I use Playtex Sport tampons, my favorite as far as leaks go, however there is a maximum absorbency these products can be.  Some people love Diva Cups and other reusable options, I find them painful, but it's worth a try--especially if you are really frustrated.

Have you tried adding iron to your diet right before your period? I'm anemic and when I'm on my period I'm pretty much like you but when I take iron pills and include more iron rich foods in my diet the week before and during my period it's not as bad. I would suggest to talk to your doctor first before taking iron pills if you have any medical problems or take any other medication just to make sure you can take iron pills otherwise just include an iron heavy diet.

From WebMD:: To boost the amount of iron in your diet, try these foods:

• Red meat
• Egg yolks
• Dark, leafy greens (spinach, collards)
• Dried fruit (prunes, raisins)
• Iron-enriched cereals and grains (check the labels)
• Mollusks (oysters, clams, scallops)
• Turkey or chicken giblets
• Beans, lentils, chick peas and soybeans
• Liver
• Artichokes

And here's a tip: If you eat iron-rich foods along with foods that provide plenty of vitamin C, your body can better absorb the iron.

Thank you ladies for the suggestions. My gyn says there's nothing wrong with me physically, this is just how my body does it (basically it always burps out as much as it can in the first 2 days with minimal flow afterward). I'll try Playtex sport and add more iron foods to my diet and we'll see how that works out.

Let's see...there were 2 lip glosses, one by Senna and one by Two Lips.  An eyebrow stencil kit and a NYX eyebrow makeup kit.  I'm trying to remember...there were cosmetic bottle sanitary wipes, cosmetic facial wipes, some kind of primer or BB cream...forget the brand, a Cult nail polis (gorgeous!) and a crease brush.  I think that's it.  I thought it was great.  Well worth it.  I really like every single thing in it.

Oh and also Naked skin cream.  I forgot about that.

Lip Factory is one of my favorite subs. It is a little more expensive ($21 a month) but I always love everything in their boxes and to me the value of the box far outweighs the price paid. There have always been at least 3 full size products in my box, usually 4 to 5.

Yes me too. Please discuss anything in the msb thread I created. Msb has been slowly stepping their game up lately.

I am not too sure of Lip Factory.

A friend sent me their site a few  days ago and I noticed it is a PO box.

Then gooooooooogled a review only to read they send some discontinued items.

And I think they only take Paypal.....I don't do business with most subs or stores that are Paypal only.

*I do have an exeption and that is one food store/site I buy from online, you can only pay w Paypal online, but use Visa over the phone.
But that is an exeption as I have known of the company for years and they sell to local stores here <local delis sell their foods>.

Wanted to add: Lip Factory posts the contents of what you get online.

-Not a sub but ANB Mall/ all natural beauty every couple months they have samplers they put together from the companies who advertise or are listed on their site.
You see what you are getting before you order.

[DonnaD]

Well, based on what they sent me and past boxes, I AM sure of them.  I'm actually kind of glad they're lesser known...and whoever is running their facebook page does a really good job of it and replies to everyone.  I hope they stay as good.

I am SERIOUSLY wanting a brow kit in a sub.. Was hoping Starlooks would put one in the Starbox. I don't have one single produxt for brows.. Guess they aren't popular or glamourous? LOL

This kit sounds very nice Gonna look it up now /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Not sure if there is a thread for "Lip Factory" by itself, but they are Sold Out.

I got put on a wait list. My first wait list ever ( well, except for Goodies before they launched).

 

[DonnaD]

All I saw for Lip Factory on this site was a place to review it.  I'm pretty sure I mentioned somewhere that they were out of stock for this month's box.  Once you're subbed, you won't have to worry about that happening again because it's recurrent.  The past boxes look so awesome, I fully expect to stay with these guys a while.

 

[DonnaD]

Has anybody heard of SquareHue  http://www.squarehue.com/ and Nail Art Society? http://www.nailartsociety.com/  Both are around 20 bucks.  SquareHue seems better than Julep in that they send full size bottles.  I'd be interested in both of those.  Do I really have yet another $40 to blow on surprises?  LOL!
