I know with the holidays things get hectic, but I'm still a bit peeved that I was already billed for this month before I even got my last box.
did you ever get your november box?

Thanks! I just hope the December boxes aren't this late. I ordered a couple for Christmas.

I finally got my box today! I don't love it and I don't hate it. I hope I can use my free perfume coupon and just add that onto my box this month, because I'm not sure if I really want anything else.

I hope december's box is a wow.  I mean, I read the blogger reviews over the summer and even as recent as september.  I am was disappointed because there was only 2 bath products in the box...

I hope so too! This month was probably my least favorite month (I've been getting them since June or July), but I think what killed it even more was the fact that I got it pretty much 2 weeks into the next month!

What is in the december's box?

Mine is going to be coming tomorrow or friday...

 

[NaydeneM]

It was all mixed up so I am not 100% sure what was what's month... here is what I think...

A cute snowman shaped soap

a lippy in red (bitten)

a lip scrub (strawberry)

eye gel things you put in the fridge to make cold

and one of those scrub balls you use in the shower

the soap, eye gels & scrub balls were part of november's.  I wonder if you got the red lippy & lip scrub because she ran out of the flower pins?

I would have rather had the red lippy & lip scrub than the flower pin - lol

It would be disappointing if the only things in the december bag is the red lippy & lip scrub /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  That would make me very upset.  She just started to mail out the december ones, so I am wondering if what you got was just the november bag.

I checked and the Dec items were the red lippy and the scrub.....  hmmmm.... she said she did a more grab bag kinda thing for Dec.

crap - what happened to the 4-5 items per month?

GOOD GRIEF.  I am so not subbing again.  grab bag is fine, but 2 items is not what I signed up for.

 

[NaydeneM]

She said the gloss is valued at $12 and the scrub at $9. I also ordered the 6 items for $40 deal and those were good, she did give me a puff since I ordered powder as one of my items...

I really like her stuff but I think when the sub runs out I will just buy things I like from her.

the point of her sub was to try little things, not full sized items, however.  oh well.

I like her stuff too, but I do not like how she has changed her sub program.  I will just buy things from that I like too - the sub program was supposed to let me "try" out in small sizes what she had before committing to a larger purchase.  

 

[NaydeneM]

I agree! Some things I have really loved, others while nice were not for me.... I did get a bar of her soap and I love it!

 

[smiletorismile]

That really sucks! Especially since I think I got a lip scrub a few months ago! I would rather have a bunch of samples, then 2 full size items. Oh well, I gave it a good run, but I think I'll just cancel.

 

[biancardi]

in a little tiny voice - my december box was really nice....

I got

Holiday Lip Balm tub:  This smells like caramel sugar cookies!  I love her lip balms as they are so rich and moisturizing​

Keep Calm and Eat a Cupcake Shea Butter Lip scrub:  This was one of the items not mentioned in the card.  This is really nice – a portable lip scrub with little sugar crystals!  I love this concept.​

Lavender Snowflake shea butter lip balm:  This was the 2nd item not mentioned in the card.  Just a soothing scent of lavendar.​

Tranquil Sleep Pillow Spray:  I own the full size version of this – from last month’s flash sale – so I will gift this to a good friend.  She will appreciate it.​

Bath Melt:  This is a calming & restorative scent​

Sugar scoop scrub in peppermint sugar:  I got one last month and I love it!  This scent is so amazing.  I really love all things peppermint!​

Lavender Coconut face wash:  this is a good sized sample.  I can smell the coconut in it right off and I love that scent.   It is supposed to be skin balancing and soothing.​

 ​

I did also have a couple of flash sales in there as well​

 ​

here is my december bag
​

plus - it looks like she is revamping her subscription to be more products and less of the packaging, which is fine by me.

Wait a minute.... I got two things for December.... a lip scrub in a pot and a colored lip gloss. I'm not happy.

I wouldn't be happy either if that is what I got.  I am not sure why yours was so limited.....Did you get a december info card?  I got one in my bag



I didn't get my bag until the weekend - did you chat with her on FB about it?  I message her privately and she is very quick to respond

I think the lip scrub & lip balm were just thank you's.  I had ordered some flash sales and those 2 items were not in my bag, but I didn't order them...
