Funny - you should just ask. I actually signed up yesterday for the first time! For some odd reason, I think it said that I would be on a "wait" list....which seemed a little odd to me. In any case, I signed up--and we'll see if they send me anything. I love Urban Decay - so I hope I'm included.

I'm getting fireball. Not really a color I wear, but I'll try it.

I tried this beauty box for 1 or 2 months and cancelled it. I didn't care for the products that were sent.

Is that the pinkish colored one @Mellie32?

Yes. I think that's what I'm getting anyway -- that's the pic that's on my sneak peek page.

If you don't play their game posting to facebook when they tell you you can skip the wait list you can forget about this month's box!

It does take a while

You'll enjoy them when you finally start receiving them...

the May boxes for both ipsy and birchbox were terrific! But keep in mind they do send out more than one configuration...my daughter and I have had very few products overlap..

Thanks for letting me know. No, I didn't go through with the Facebook thing...I didn't want such a message to go out to my "friends" on facebook! How annoying!

I'm getting the urban decay shadow as well. Not sure which color. It shows lounge or fireball under my description. Either way glad to get the urban decay shadow.

I check it then go back and delete it in Facebook

Here is what I can tell you - you pay for the month after you sign up, so if you signed up yesterday, July will be your first bag. It's how they do it.

I am getting the UD shadow too, yay. If you look at the description it says you will get one of the 2 colors. In fact, the Fireball shade switches to Lounge as you look at the info., so the color you first see isn't necessarily what you get.

When I first signed up, that happened to me, too. I was told that they only have so many monthly allotments (don't know if that's true) and so I had to wait until there was an opening. It took a couple of months before I got my first one.

I have had a love-hate relationship with IPSY. A couple of months ago I was all set to cancel. Then, last month I really liked what I got.

I don't do Facebook at all so I never know what I am getting.

I subscribed for about 5 or 6 months and then cancelled. Despite the fact that I reviewed every box and filled out the questionnaire about my coloring, make-up type, etc., I kept getting all the wrong colors for me and products I didn't want.

I specifically didn't want nail polish because I get my nails done at a salon and don't take my own polish. Yet 3 months I got a nail polish. I also got black eyeliner twice which I don't wear and 3 times I got brown eyeshadows. Every lipstick I received was a very deep, dark shade that was not for me.

I like looking forward to it each time. However, I can't honestly say that I use anything I have gotten more than a few times, if at all. Sometimes I find something is nice that I would never have bought, but it's not often.

I think part of the issue is the shades of the products they send. Lipsticks tend to either be bright red or washed out nude, eyeliners black or nude, shadows light browns. I don't use nail polish, face or hair oils, and get them pretty often. It would be nice if the shades matched our profiles and they say they are working to improve that - at some point. I am still going to keep getting it. Better than Birchbox IMO by leaps and bounds.
