Don't give up on BL, I have never found a yellow polish that isn't streaky.

Blah...lashfood ingredients include soy protein?!?  Ugh this might go right in the trash.  I avoid soy products.  This is my first experience with Butter polish, I found mine to be streaky when first applied.  I don't mind the Cheeky Chops yellow (it's an ok shade for spring), but I sort of expected better application from such a well liked brand.  I expect uneven applications with sheer shades but with such a saturated color I was surprised how unevenly it applied.  Glad to try it out though, heard a ton about this polish brand for a while and have been curious about it.

What she said. I do not understand *at all* why they sent out a yellow. That is quite possibly *the* most notoriously problematic color, and it doesn't matter what brand. If they were trying to hook more customers, they would have done much better with their holos or metallics. And, okay, some boxes are getting metallics, but I think they would have been better off sending them to *everybody*.

Still not totally sure about the yellow butter london polish.  It acutally looks a lot lighter in person (in the bottle, I haven't tried it yet) than the photo shows.  It's almost a pastel-y yellow.  I wonder if I could make it work by layering it over/under another color.  

.

I've never used fashion tape before.  I do have big boobs so maybe I'll wonder how I ever lived without it once I try them

Not full size--0.5ml.  Full size is 5ml.

It can turn light colored eyes brown and the eyes may or may not go back to their original shade.   I don't know how common a side effect it is.  When medications are being researched, if a patient/study participant experiences an adverse event, it has to be reported and made known.  It could be 1 in 10 that have that side effect or 1 in 5 million. 

EDIT:  I just looked at the Latisse website.  It states that it can turn eyes brown and is likely permenant. Its the skin darkening that is reversible.  It also states that hair can grow anywhere that Latisse touches it.  My hand isnt all that steady.  I would end up with hairy eyelids!

Wow.  So glad I didn't actually try it.  Sure, you'd get voluminous lashes, but having hairy eyelids isn't a look many people can pull off...  I wonder if they just HAVE to put that in there.

I don't mind the color...that much, but do feel like it's a shade that is better suited for a darker skin tones.  Maybe I'll rock this color this summer with a little tan and see if I like it better.  I see all these beautiful pics of this yellow on pinterest but I feel like I had to keep applying coats to even out the streaks, creating an eternal dry time.  

Oh well, no biggie. I got a yellow and orange in my PS box this month...a french mani with those shades makes me think of reese's pieces on my finger tips, it would drive me nuts craving them.  

 
I've been using Latisse for well over a year now (maybe more) and it hasn't changed my green eyes at all.  It is super easy to use and it is true that it will make hair grow.  The ladies at the derm's office put it on their overplucked brows and my mom puts it on the top of my dad's head (he he).

Oh, i should secretly do it to my husband in his sleep--hee hee.  He's starting to get a little patch on the back of his head.  

 
I'm getting kit H but it contains a bunch of samples I've gotten before (some from sample society) and didn't like so I'm pretty disappointed. I got everything I didn't want loll.

 
I just received my box and I have a strange medley of Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Diamond Dogs, Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, Diamonds are Forever, Diamonds and Pearls, Diamonds on the Soles of her Shoes, Diamonds and Rust, and Diamonds are Forever playing in my head...  (I received Diamond Geezer)

Call Customer Service. They will resolve it, most likely by giving you credit.

1.7 fl. oz. = 50mL The sample I received was 10mL. That makes the sample worth $12.

I really hope your math was wrong for the Murad. The sample seemed kinda small. It couldn't possibly be ~2/3 of the full-sized bottle. O.O

ya it is XD just posted my review on my blog and the value is like $30 lower, also posted a swatch of the Butter LONDON polish ^^ 

 
Hi everyone I was wondering if the Sample Society box gets delivered by UPS or does it get transferred to USPS?

Also, if it is only through UPS do you need to sign for your box or is it just left outside your door?
