(I know I'm not participating in this round, but) you took quite a few of the things I put in there Flirt Alert was my favourite lipstick for a long time. Tell me what you think of the texture!

 

[fortworthgal]

^ C-Dot, I think that is because we have the same tastes in cosmetics. :lol:

 

[olive bleu]

Forthworthgal, did you try the Crabtree and Evelyn Pomegranate lotion sample?? I took one of those , too and i love it so much, i am going to buy a bottle of it! It is lovely!!

 

[fortworthgal]

I haven't tried it yet, but it looks lovely! I'm a hand cream junkie so I can't wait to try it out.

 

[Bluebird Marsha]

Lovely selection there! Y'all have fun. I would have done it again, but I cleaned out my cache on the last go-round.

You should try the shower gel too - It's such an amazing smell. Its one of those ones that makes your skin tingle, too

 

[fortworthgal]

Okay ladies, the box is on the way to Grant Fan!

I wanted to advise everyone of a slight change - I decided not to do the written inventory list in the box this time. First, I didn't feel like inventorying the entire box and writing down 8 pages of itemized small items. Secondly, it didn't seem to work well at all during round 1. In fact, I think it only confused people. :lol: When I cleaned out the box before shipping, there were a *lot* of items on the list that weren't in the box, and I found items in the box that weren't on the list... so I think it was just too much to keep up with. So, we'll just go on the honor system this time around. Okay with everyone?

 

[Retro_GI_Jane]

That's fine with me, when I ship it though I might just list a few items here for the sake of giving people a sneak peek of what went in.

 

[fortworthgal]

^ I just meant we won't have a written list inside the box that you have to cross items off when you take out. We'll still post here and show & tell what we've taken out! That makes it more fun for everyone.

 

[fortworthgal]

I shipped the box to Grant Fan on Friday, so hopefully she'll have it sometime early this week.

 

[Grant Fan]

[fortworthgal]

Yay! Nice picks, Grant Fan! You got some fun stuff. I put that True Match foundation in. I love it, but I had 3 back ups and I figured someone else could use it.

 

[sheeplady]

The box arrived today! Lots of great stuff, I'll have to make my selection later on today or tomorrow. I've PMed Christi.adell to find out her address so I can then wrap it up and send it off!

 

[fortworthgal]

[sheeplady]

Awesome ladies! At first I couldn't fit everything I wanted to add into the box, so I tried to prioritize and stuff, stuff, stuff! In the end I found only one thing I couldn't fit in, so I'm happy.

The box is full! I will try to get it out in the mail on Monday, but I'm going to be on the road all day- I'll do my best. If not Monday, I'll get it out on Wednesday when I am less busy.
