Although I would have you bear in mind that this service is not just about the value of the products recieved but also the knowledge that they are out there. Benefiting from even a small tube of moisturizer or mineral foundation is worth the price to know what to buy in the future...knowledge is power after all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2765292147771027340.post-90347550372353054002011-09-19T17:51:25.954-04:002011-09-19T17:51:25.954-04:00Beata~ I received the same things in my box. :) I...Beata~ I received the same things in my box. :) I was a little disappointed because it was my first box and I guess I was expecting a little more. But I do love the idea and I'm going to give it another month before I decide if I'm going to continue.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2765292147771027340.post-7131779633161659372011-09-15T01:44:32.218-04:002011-09-15T01:44:32.218-04:00I wouldn't even count those regular samples in...I wouldn't even count those regular samples into the total worth of the box :/ you get stuff like that free anywhere. walk into any store that sells fragrance and they'll give you a sample bottle if you ask. that lip conditioner is meant to be a free sample and I'd never pay for it, same goes for that teeny-tiny blinc mascara others received.<br /><br />That colorescience made the box definitely worth it, but the box I received was just sad. pretty much everything was a free sample, except for the incoco and some cheap small bottle of.. hand sanitizer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2765292147771027340.post-83778518142071939362011-09-14T23:18:47.067-04:002011-09-14T23:18:47.067-04:00@ Beata: I've used mineral makeup for over 6 y...@ Beata: I've used mineral makeup for over 6 years (including BE, Sheer Cover and Amazing Cosmetics -- as well as a liquid mineral makeup from Illuminaire Cosmetics). I just go through phases of using a particular formula or brand. Lately I've been using my BE again but mostly around the house or quick errands. I can't get natural, full coverage without a liquid. I still use my Laura Mercier Silk Creme Foundation whenever I'm going out or helping at my sons school because it quickly and naturally covers all my flaws - including all breakouts - and my skin still looks like skin. It's my holy grail foundation :)<br /><br />But I just ordered a new BE kit because the shade I have (Medium Beige) is too neutral toned. I ordered Medium Tan in hopes it will work better or I can mix the two together if needed. It should actually be delivered any day now.Alyssa Valentinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12131073751821793862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2765292147771027340.post-67287593460672643892011-09-14T22:06:50.634-04:002011-09-14T22:06:50.634-04:00I got my box today.

I got fragrance ;/, the lip balm :), Jurlique hand santizer :), and Befine night cream:) so in total 3/4 samples I will definetely use. the fragrance will go to my mom.<br /><br />PS adjust to mineral makeup will take some practice. I went with bare minerals about 2 years ago...never going back to liquid. My skin looks so much better now.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01984600260124544274noreply@blogger.com
