The only thing I'm not crazy about is the Girlactik Eraser Stick. In the past, I've found the quality of their cosmetics very low and overpriced. I like the idea of it though, simply apply it to a smudge or incorrect placement of winged eyeliner, wipe with a cotton swab to wipe away the mess. I just use a cotton swab and it usually does the trick with a little face powder afterward. How do you correct your mistakes? I've tried the Korres Cleanser before and while it worked ok, I wasn't impressed. I've also tried the Boscia Black Cleanser and it works well, but I didn't like the bit of mess it made in the sink while rinsing off. I recommend you keep this one in the shower since it rinses off easier with no mess. I like Caudalie's moisturizers and while they hydrate I haven't seen any improvement in fine wrinkles. I recommend Tatcha instead. Their next QVC TSV will be in June! I haven't been using liquid eyeliners lately since I don't have a very steady hand and I find them a tricky to apply. I really love Mac Jacobs original Daisy fragrance and I've purchased the full size in the past and used every last drop but the new one I don't fancy. I enjoy receiving a fragrance sample to share with Hubby. He's always grateful to try a new scent and the samples are perfect for travel which he does a lot for work. The cosmetic bag is sturdy, summery and easy to clean.
If you received or will be receiving this month's box soon, what do you think of this month's samples? Have you been using your coupons even though you now have to pay for shipping or pick them up in person? When I picked up my order I noticed they paid for shipping my item to the store, so they could have easily given me free shipping to my house instead. It's simply to get you into the store to spend more money which will not work on me since I hate indoor malls.
