I love Zoya polish - it lasts so long! But this color is not for me! I look dead! It's a beige cream - reminds me of that ugly gray color that has been popular. I also got a travel pack of 8 Yes to Blueberries Age Refresh cleansing facial towelettes A sample size (0.23 FL) of Weleda Firming Night Cream with pomegranate A sample size of Marula oil for face. A sample of Atelier Cologne in Orange Sanguine "It's never too late to be who you were meant to be."

I've gotten 5 so far, and I think there was just one that I wasn't thrilled with. I like all the products in it - that I've tried so far - but I'm excited to play with it all. The blueberry makeup remover towellettes look interesting, and so does the Marula Oil. The perfume smells delicious! It's a fun subscription - Only $10 - granted, they're sample sizes (or just larger) but its neat to try new things. Reminds me of the old Cosmetique subscription from the '70's, except it includes skincare as well as cosmetics. Sometimes there will be tea bags, a nailfile, temporary tattoo eyeliner (!), etc. "It's never too late to be who you were meant to be."

SpaGal1334277629.662903 PostsRegistered 6/5/2010 I really enjoy the Yes to ... products that I've tried. I got a recent Groupon deal and now have the Yes to Cucumber body wash to try next in my shower! GreenEyedGirl1334278056.252106 PostsRegistered 11/19/2007Beautiful Maryland Oh, NX, I forgot to mention my all time favorite Birchbox score - a Beauty Blender sponge. I'd honestly never heard of these, but they've been "all the rage" - I LOVE that thing! I use it every morning, and my makeup goes on so smoothly! That was a pretty pricey item - I think they may sell for $25 or 2 for $25 or some ridiculous amount like that. That month it was worth the $10! "It's never too late to be who you were meant to be." I got a Zoya polish in Lotus, a very pretty purple color with shimmer. I also got: Juicy Beauty oil free moisturizer Amika nourishing hair mask Taylor Swift Wonderstruck perfume sample and dropps laundry detergent packets. I put pictures of everything on my blog which is rosebud22.blogspot.com if anyone wants to see pictures of these things. I am pretty happy with my box this month, I don't think any box will ever live up to last month since I got the Teen Vogue box, but I have gotten much worse boxes than this! SpaGal1334278213.3732903 PostsRegistered 6/5/2010 Wow, that's one of the colors I was thinking of getting! Is it a no color color? I love those for my fingernails (my HG is Coney Island Cotton Candy by OPI) Is this the color that you got?

Yep! And it looks horrible on my pale fingers with pink undertones. I did get one once before that was a sparkly blue and I loved that one. Can't win 'em all!

WOW you got a beauty blender sponge in one of your birchboxes?? They are crazy priced (for a sponge!) so that is cool you got it in your $10 box! I was reading about the birchbox and there seems to be a million different boxes with a range of values. Some boxes seem like they are barely worth the $10 and yet others are more than worth it, like yours with that sponge. I wonder if they choose them randomly because many say that the items picked for their box do not match their profile. I am still going to sign up. It sounds fun and I like trying new things.

That color looks like one that was quite popular back in the early 1980's by (I'm pretty sure it was) Lancome called "Vanille". I was crazy about that color. Went with everything and was different but not a screamingly different color back in the day.
