Round 3 Beauty Box Official Thread

[Retro_GI_Jane]

Here's a picture of my choices. My five year old liked the hair bows, cosmetic bag, and a glitter lip gloss so she claimed those.

I'm not sure who put the Smashbox primer in there, but I'm unfamiliar with using primers even though I've been interested at giving it a try. Do I put that on with my fingers or a make up pad...or ???

Kamikat forwarded her addy to me but unfortunately I won't be able to get to the post office until tomorrow. So I'll get the tracking info to her then. As far as another go around, I wouldn't mind participating again. After the holidays are over sounds good to me too. I know I'll be swamped with the obligatory activities that comes with the season to be worried about another package to ship.

I put the primer in. You put it on with your fingers, between moisturizer and makeup, in a thin layer. Hope it works out for you. I keep getting those put in as samples, but that stuff isn't for me.

I'm nosey, what's the Chanel item?

I like Smashbox primer, and use it as ThemThereEyes described. It gives a really smooth, velvety finish to my makeup and makes it last better, but it just doesn't agree with my skin after a day or 2, and I break out. Most women rave about it, though, so I think I'm in the minority. It does give a beautiful finish!

^^It's eyeshadow. There was another one in the box, a smokey black color but since I don't the whole bedroom eyes look, I passed. The one in the picture is more of a pale blue. I'm crossing my fingers it won't be too pearly or glittery!

The box is now on it's way to Kamikat!

 

[fortworthgal]

Okay, so kamikat and then I'm last!

Once I get the box & make my picks, we'll gauge interest for starting another round, but might put it off until after the holidays. This one went so quickly!

 

[kamikat]

The box arrived today, what fun!

 

[fortworthgal]

Yay, can't wait to see your picks! I'll PM you my addy.

 

[Retro_GI_Jane]

Yay! Can't wait to see what you chose, Kamikat!

I gave the Smashbox primer a try today and I loooove how it makes my makeup feel like velvet. As long as it doesn't do any funky things to my skin, I think I found a new product to add to my beauty routine.

My desktop is having online issues so I can only post from my phone. It looks like my FL mailbox is full but I can't delete messages in the mobile version. Fortworthgal, email me your addy, please! andrea(at)gideonfamily(dot)com. If I can't get the box out tomorrow, it might have to wait until Hurricane Sandy is over.

 

[fortworthgal]

I'll email you! I hope you guys ride out the storm okay!

Stay safe! They are telling us to prepare for high winds and heavy snow/ice, and we are far inland.

 

[olive bleu]

Well, I hope you at least found a few things you can use and enjoy.

I think we've *all* had to deal with those USPS issues. I've got all sorts of horror stories, too.

I guess I'm last on the list after Kami. Do you ladies think we should gauge interest on a round 4? Or wait until after the holidays?

I can't believe this round is nearly done! I would probably be ready to join in the next round again , if we wait untill after the holidays

 

[ThesFlishThngs]

I'm happy to play again, whenever that may be.

 

[fortworthgal]

Once I get the box from kamikat, I'll make my selections and then we'll gauge interest & timing for another round. With the holidays coming up it might be better to wait, but we'll see what everyone thinks!

 

[fortworthgal]

Has anyone heard anything from kamikat, is she okay? I emailed her a few weeks ago and never heard back, and her last login was 10/31... I hope they fared okay with Sandy!

 

[fortworthgal]

Kamikat - If you see this, please email me! pammipoo@hotmail.com

I have tried sending emails but no reply... hope all is well!

 

[sheeplady]

Any luck on finding the box? I'm wondering if it's not trapped in the mail someplace because of Sandy.

I hope Kamikat and her family are ok.

Downstate here is still a huge mess.

 

[fortworthgal]

Kamikat emailed me Tuesday & said she mailed the box that morning. Hopefully I'll get it soon! I'm sure the mail (even Priority) is still slow because of Sandy.

 

[fortworthgal]

Box was delivered to my office on Christmas Eve! I haven't had a chance to go through it yet, busy with Christmas.

I'll start a thread for sign-ups for another round after the New Year!

 

[ThemThereEyes]

I look forward to seeing your choices, and I will check my stash to see what I can contribute.
