it is a 1oz candle..  it may be the camera angle... 

 
Got my box today...Kit D. They included two go smile ampoules. I have to read up on this but I think they are each for a one time use. I also got the Stial in Apricot and the candle Desert Tulip. Not sure if there were any variations on the Stila and candle. I'm pretty happy with my contents for this month.

here are the contents



Pretty happy about this box. At 1st I thought the Illume was a lip balm in a tin which I would have loved. Didn't realize it was a candle. I could do without the candle but looking forward to trying out the other items. 

I'm glad I got the sunscreen. Perfect for summer and upcoming vacations.
Got the same here. It's better than last month for sure.

I liked getting  a new brand of sunscreen, and the candle is kind of pretty, although some variety in scents would've been appreciated. Nice for the powder room. I don't care for Philosophy but I know people who love it, and the Stila Kitten is another hopeless shade for me (can these samplers ever send me a lippie I can use?) but is again a popular choice for others. Murad is always welcome. So it could've, and has been, worse.

If that shade is too light for you, you can always layer it over another lippie.  I purchased that product, but lost it the 2nd day so I'm glad to get it.  I was able to use it a couple times before it went MIA.  The 2nd time I used it, I filled in my lips with a medium pink pencil and then put the gloss on top.  It looked very pretty.  I think the pencil base makes it last longer on my lips too.

This month was not a disappointment.  Just wish I'd gotten the Stila or the sunscreen rather than the diptique.  Trying to decide whether to pony up the cash for Hope in a Jar so having a 2nd sample to try out before committing is nice.  Love the lip gloss and glad to have a cleanser to try out.  I'm using Clinque and I don't love it.

I'm not cancelling..... yet.  But SS is still on probation with me.

Sizes are:


Stila tinted moisturizer is 0.17 fl oz.

Hope in a Jar is 0.4 fl oz.

Stila lip glaze is 0.5  fl oz. I think full size is 0.8 fl oz.

Murad cleanser is 1.0 fl oz. 

Candle is 1.0 oz. with 10 hour burn time.
They're all so perfect for summer travel.

10 hours burn time is pretty good.  That's quite a bit longer than I had expected.  As you say, they all look for travel.  I cant wait for my box now!

I saw on instagram other colors of the lip glaze....  a pink shade..  also I think kit a (?) said the shade was kitten not apricot?  not sure if kitten is pink?  the screenshot was too small on here to tell...  I like the apricot, I am glad it isn't too peachy..   I don't do well with warm undertones.. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Kit A is getting Kitten and to me it looks pretty much like a nudeish color.

I have Kitten, and it is a really light nude color, but its really nice! It's a color anyone could wear.
 
Got Kit E yesterday. After last month's very off-color concealer from Ipsy and this month's DD creme debacle at Julep (which I'm glad I skipped to stay out of), I was glad that the tinted Stila was the right color. The candle will be nice for traveling, I use the moisturizer anyway, the gloss is a nice neutral color on me and am always happy to try a new cleanser. Such an improvement over last month!

 
So for the first time in a long time I will use everything in this box. Success. Lack lustre. But success.

 
I got Kit D and I am very happy with it.  This was my second month with BBSS and I wasn't sure if I was going to keep it, but I think I will give it a go another month.   

 
I thought I would post kit G since I haven't seen anyone else share this one. And I haven't seen anyone else with my same first item. Not sure if it's too late for this to be a real spoiler for anyone, but better to be safe!

Kit G:


 
I would have loved to try the first sample! And it's a good size, too :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Kit G looks good. I would've liked to try that shampoo too. More variations this month... I burned the Illume candle last night. It lasted quite awhile, but the scent was very weak. I couldn't smell a thing. I'll stick to Diptyque.

I really like it but I can see where it might not be for everyone.  The scent is light and not overpowering when the candle is lit. 

I got kit A and I like and will use every single item.
