At this point I am tired of makeup, food that I can’t eat (which is almost everything that is included in boxes), cosmetics with irritating ingredients, and just stuff I can’t use in general. Can you tell that I’ve been here a long time? I have my subs down to julep and bespoke post that I can skip, and a nerd jewelry box.

I’m sick of getting black eyeliner, I love colors! I’m also tired of getting mascara every month. Most of all, stop sending the liquid lipsticks- matte finish, outrageous colors that no working woman would wear. I want normal colors of lipsticks or glosses. No more matte nudes that don’t match my skin color, no more purple, fuchsia, hot pink, etc…

I enjoy new firming facial cream’s, large container’s of hair conditioner mask’s (not sample size’s), bracelet’s, full size lipstick’s (new shade’s). I would like to see less scarve’s.

Highlighters, bronzer, contour, black eyeliners, dry shampoo, merchandise with stupid sayings emblazoned on them, primers, especially Smashbox primers, ugh. Manna Kadar anything. Boxes that just seem thrown together with no thought. Not worthwhile fillers that are cheap, unusable, and that nobody would want. Really small sizes of beauty products. I don’t want to pay for samples that I can get for free.

Dry shampoo AND contour palettes. I’ve gotten so many contour palettes this past year it’s unbelievable. Good thing I’m the only subscription addict among my friends and family bc I think every woman I know has gotten a contour palette from me!

Lip color, strange color nail polish and water bottles. Many of the accessories I receive I give away as they don’t fit me.

I like just about every lipstick color except red, so no more of that please. (I love brights, pales, nudes, even darks).

Also I don’t need anymore lip scrub and I never use self tanner. If I did, i’m sure I would want more than a towelette.

And I’m okay with Manna Kadar, except for that Paradise blush. It’s not bad but I have 5 and don’t use them because the compact is too hard to open.

And while I love hair masks and conditioners, if you don’t include at least 2 ounces, there’s not enough for me to use and I end up mixing it with other products to cover my long thick hair. So I don’t really know how I like the sample and won’t buy it.
