That's so weird because I can only get it to show up in coral poppy, in both my active accounts and in the one  I never activated...I wonder what it's based on then?

I thought it might go off skin tone (I normally chose Light tones) so I tried the darkest skin tone and it still didn't change the color. I have two accounts and I already got the pink tulip so I was trying to get the coral one

 
Imglad someone else has had issues. I mean, I'm glad it's not just me. Back in may/June I received a badly damaged box, took pics and sent it to nancy lee. I went back and forth at least 6 emails, nancy lee promised a new box numerous times. I also contacted member care who promised me a box. To this day I haven't received it, and have given up. I have gotten a couple extras because of empty samples in the past but their system is WRONG. If ever in my Myglam bag I was missing an item or it was damaged, theyd send another immediately. BA is full of shit sometimes. They also don't care about samples being empty anymore, I emailed and they said "that's how it comes from the company, have a nice day. We are always on the front lines of beauty for you" Which leaves me like.....???? Unless they change their ways and get better CS I seethem failing. If I can't get really good samples every month, I will skip every time.

Would you maybe be interested in mine? We could trade...I only swatched on my hand and it's REALLY bright for me So I'm not sure I'll ever wear it
 
caved and got another box with a new sub.... I really wanted the lash gel and the nailtiques, so I opened another account to get these.... I got the coral poppy in my last box and the color looks terrible on me, so i picked the tulip this time. The oil was amazing on my hair so I picked out another and I can never have enough of bath and body works showergels. and i got that primer in my birchbox a few months ago and liked it, and would prefer that over a packet.

Try changing the amount of makeup you wear to dramatic, and the color of your nails to bright. also, try clicking sultry when it comes to makeup look.

 
So my window selection opened and this is what I chose there was an option for a mystery sample but decided not to go with that since there were 6 amazing items in my selection option. This is what I chose, I also e-mailed Briana that an item was defective and she said she would make sure it was put in my box this month but who knows if I will ever see that item. It seems that no one ever gets their replacement defective or missing item. I haven't had repeat items shows up in the two months with them but I will be making my decision next month which will factor in if I do receive my defective item & if the items are new and not old.

ooh! looks really good! I got the twin set and didnt care for the color, it was too orangey for me. But the lip balm is amazing! It smells like ripping open an orange peel. and the shea terra butter sounds like it will smell amazing!

I chose "Body" care for my selection I also woke up earlier for my selection. I chose about 15 minutes before 9 hopefully that helps. My selection window opened yesterday but didn't see anything I wanted and today was totally different so keep trying :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

This is what I chose, makeup, body, & hair pretty sure

I finally got it to pop up for me so I was able to get it. Since my box has to go over to Germany I won't even get my box until some time in December By then I'll have forgotten I even ordered anything :p /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
It's gorgeous! I wonder if we get to choose another lip duo, or I'll go ahead and use an alternative acc for that and another lashem. It's been two weeks and I am seeing good results.

Same here! How do I justify myself to spend on a primer that will turn bad in a month? In fact I opened the pump and found that only the pump smells bad. The product is ok but I refuse to put it anywhere near my face again...
