OOPS. I’m so stupid. I just ordered that First box for $1 like 3 times because after i did everything my account was still showing as inactive and the $1 wasn’t being deducted from my account……then on the 3rd “first subscription”, I finally saw where it says first box will ship in AUGUST, NOT this month. Lol Now i have to figure out how to fix this so i don’t get 3 boxes showing up

I used BEAUTY20 for the 6 month box. It comes out to $10 a month which is a great deal. If you use CLASSIC you get an extra box plus a scarf. I choose the 20% off coupon code its like getting 2 boxes free!

I’m excited, haven’t tried this brand of polish yet.
By the way, anyone have an idea when that free box is going to ship, from that previous deal? I thought it was noted as shipping in 4-7 weeks, and I feel it’s been around that time.

I’m still waiting, too. It’s been a little over 5 weeks now. CS told me there will be no tracking info sent, the box will just show up.

I just got my bonus May box today. Anyone else? I’m so stupid though, I could’ve sworn the Paula’s Choice Resist Vitamin C treatment came in the May box, but it was April! That was seriously the main reason I signed up for the 6 mo sub. Ha, joke’s on me! :-/

Same here. Glad to know I’m not the only one waiting on that box >_<

Nice colors but I hope that I don’t get the mint green looking color. My Julep from the Allure box was similar to that and I already have another polish similar. I’d love the orange.

I am good with this spoiler! I signed up a couple of weeks ago for a $1! Wondering what the other items will be!

I just signed up, thinking I’d get the July box, but the confirmation page said “Your first ESSENCE BeautyBox will ship in August,” so I don’t think I’ll be getting a cute Ciate polish like I’d hoped!

I would be happy with any of the blues or grays, but really the only color that isn’t appealing to me is that beige-y peach color. So I’ll probably get that! 🙂

If you get that, I’ll swap you for my color!! That’s the color I was really wanting.
