Swatches with flash: Top~Climax Lip Gloss. 
Bottom row~ Eyeshadows::champagne, grapevine green, bright spring green, light orange/red sunset, merlot​


I really like the items - and I used the merlot as a blush this morning!!  I think that is the cheek color in the looksbook.  I swatched them heavy on my hand, but the merlot goes on nice as a blush - I bet that sunset color could be used as a highlighter too. 

I got the Climax lip gloss, which is a peachy-raspberry shimmer (the names explains the porn star open mouths - har-de-har-har) - there were 3 others - I know that one of the others is Orgasmic, which looks to be a pink.

I don't mind the "bonus".  Since one of the items was a

five shadow palette, that was a big item to get

December's box only had ONE item, which was the 15 palette. 

 
My shipping notice still is not working (a week later). I think the items seem fun since it is definitely not items that i would buy though some of the colors (without seeing swatches) seem familiar to the December palette.

I would have really loved a blush... lets hope next month!

 
Ooh! I think I'm really going to like this box. I can't wait to see the colors up close & personal. The middle color is a total win for me! I hope I get mine today!!! The gloss looks like a great color too!

Even though it only seems like 2 items, it's really 6 (5 shadows & a gloss) Those pallets are worth $42 alone. Eyeshadows individually are $12 each so this is a pretty decent box value wise. Hooray! This will definitely be the best box of 2014 for me. I'm excited to see it. Come on Mr. Mailman! Bring me my goodies!!!!

 
Got my box yesterday and I'm about 50/50 on it. I love the lip gloss. Its a very pretty wearable color for me. The palette isnt so bad. Im not 100% on the colors Dont know how many I'd wear on a day to day basis. 

 
I received my box yesterday, never received a shipping notice.  I don't mind because it was a nice surprise.  I love the palette.  Beautiful colors I don't already own!  

 
I think the second-from-the-right shade is precisely the color I was hoping for. I'm really looking forward to getting this in my grubbies! I still wish the lipgloss was pretty much anything other than a lip product. This makes eight in four months for me, just in Starboxes.

 
I'm really sad, I have to trade/sell my whole box. I hate the lip color I got (Pout) and the eyeshadow palette just isn't something I'm interested in. 

 
@@biancardi your lipgloss is FAR better than mine. I opened up the box and immediately groooooaned. I don't mind the palette. Thinking I'll keep it and force myself to play around but the gloss will be traded. Believe it's called Pout. It's just too gold for me.

@@rachelshine, yeah, that is one gold lipgloss!!  

I was really surprised how much I like the color of my gloss. It is a great color for spring.  And I lucked out - because I do think I would have like the other 2 color choices (pink - which I have way too many of - and the gold - that just seems more fall for me.  It isn't that I would not use a gold lipgloss, but I would use it over a darker lipstick)

The palette is a lot of fun - I wore the merlot as a blush, and used the champagne all over the eye lid, then used the grapevine green as a contour and under the lash line and then used the spring green to highlight - like they had in the email tutorial - I just stopped before the sunset and merlot colors.

I then used the gem pencil from starlooks in myth to line the upper eye lid.

I love it!!  I think tomorrow I will add the sunset in for another look!

Knowing my luck I will end up with that gloss LOL Definitely hoping for one of the other two. It's not bad or anything I've just received SO MANY gold/nude frosty lipsticks and glosses in boxes over the last 6 months or so, that I'd prefer any other color (that being said, I'd still totally use the gold one, but nowhere near as much as the others).

I was a bit bummed when I opened the Starlooks email that came  yesterday (?) and it totally spoiled the box. I do like that they give us a look to create (I remember people here talking about how they wished that they gave sample looks like they used to in the fliers that came with the boxes or through the Why, Marci vids, and BAM! they listen and do it! So totally nice, just bummed out that I didn't know I was opening an email that was spoiler filled)

What are the three color gloss choices?
Click to expand...
so, there is climax, which I got - that is a peachy-raspberry shimmer - see my swatch in the spoiler

then there is Orgasmic, which looks to be pink - but no one has swatched it yet here

pout - which is a gold lipgloss - rachelshine swatched that in this thread.

I was hoping that to round out the trio, that the 3rd lipgloss would be called foreplay!! lol

but instead of a climax or orgasmic, it is just a pout ;) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
I got the climax lip gloss as well, and it's just beautiful.

I thought some of the eyeshadow shades looked very similar to shades in the December palette, so I swatched them together. The grapevine green was the only match though. The others that I thought might be were close, but definitely different. Or maybe I'm colorblind. It's hard to say.

 
I got mine yesterday even though the tracking never updated...anyhow...this is my first box...the eyeshadow palette was fine..about 3 of the colors are wearable for me. I don;t dind them to be particularly smooth..I got Orgasmic for the gloss...a little too frosty for me...on the plus side it isn't sticky and doesn't have a funky taste/smell. I have to say though, I know they said the eyeshadow palette had a retail value of I think $41 but sorry not in my opinion, would I pay $41 for it;even the plastic palette seemed a little cheap. :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
At least next month is loyalty gift right?! I'll be sticking around for that and then might have to reevaluate :p /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 

Any guesses on if we'll be getting another code (which I'd ADORE) or if they'll just spoil us with a big ol box of products?? 

 
I received Climax. It's my favorite of the 2 items. They could have kept the wildflower seeds though. If you're gonna send me some seeds, they better be sunflower so I can eat them!

Oh man, I was so excited about the wildflower seed packet I received. My husband and I are in the middle of closing on our first house, and I said I wanted to put a wildflower mix in these giant planters attached to the shed in the back yard. Ask and you shall receive!

I was excited too! I am a nut for flowers! Between the hundreds of bulbs, six beds of perennials, and meadow of daisies--my little acre+ blooms for months! There is always room for more flowers, just not always strength to get everything planted.
