I still haven't gotten the lip butter either.  hoping to get it w/in the next couple of months to try it out.

I've been wanting to try the one love serum and haven't been able to get my hands on one. still debating on using points to buy one.

I got the Eyeko in Olive (which i perfect because I have green eyes), mox lip butter, aerie perfume, chuao chocolate, and the no. 4 clarifying shampoo. Definitely a great month. I love the lip butter (and I'm a lip balm fiend/snob/whatever you want to call it). I don't think I'll abandon my burt's bee's for it, but I like how it's not too fruity or greasy. The perfume is alright, another scent to add to my collection. Love the liner and the chocolate, and I'm trying the shampoo tonight.

I try not to wear scents to work that might give people a headache, but I wear perfume because I like the smell and if it wears off I don't care if anybody else can still smell it. I will reapply it if I can't still smell it. Except Orange Sanguine. The smell comes and goes a lot.

On the plus side, I found an AWESOME perfume.  Unfortunately, it is made by Versace (Bright Crystal), and it is so not in my budget.  I'm determined to stalk Sephora sales & coupons til I can score it for at least half-off.  

 

And while I love trying new perfumes, I totally sympathize with the people who can't wear it or don't enjoy it, and I think there should be an opt-out on the BB website.

 

Lastly... I always want to pronounce Versace "Ver-SAYSE" because of the Striptease movie...  I really want someone to compliment my perfume so I can say "Thanks, it's Ver-sayse!"

While it does say flat out that it is a sheer formulation, I wish it had just a bit more color to it, in the tube it looks gorgeous and on the lips it only gives a hint of color. Today I paired it over a Revlon Lip Butter in "Raspberry Pie" even though I typically wouldn't pair a gloss with those. However, I felt like they really complimented each other nicely. It is a nice smooth formulation in my opinion and smells amazing. If it were just a bit more pigmented, I would be in total heaven. :)

The frownies things have a printed sticker on them that say 'Contains 1 reusable set', covering up where it said '3 reusable sets'.  For whatever reason, packaging corrections (even more so when it's corrected to a higher price) get on my nerves, and I don't know why. I know that for a smaller company a misprint is very expensive, but gaaaah pay attention to the proofs, or make up your mind, or get appropriate packaging for a sample, or whatever.  I really don't know why it irks me so much.  It's like finding crumbs in butter.

Slightly off topic, but do you LOVE those Lip Butters like I do?! I have the Raspberry Pie, Tutti Frutti (orange), and want to get the Gumdrop (lavender) one next. I was thinking how cool would it be to do a pretty much bare face with a lavender lip? Especially since I have pale skin and dark hair.... this is me trying to be interesting with my makeup, I'm sure people will think I'm weird haha.
