The Official Beauty Box thread

[fortworthgal]

The box is tentatively scheduled for delivery on Saturday, so hopefully Tatum will have it by Monday.

Just a reminder, in the box there is a handwritten list of all of the items in the box. I tried to break it down into categories (hair, eyes, etc.) to make it easier. When you receive the box, you need to take the list & mark off the items that you are keeping. Then, add the items that you're contributing, with your username or initials alongside. This just helps keep everything transparent for everyone.

I didn't write down the sample items I included - I just put them all in one bag. They're small and I didn't want to write out 50 different sample packets on a list, so I figured with those we'd just all swap out of the bag and not worry about keeping track.

Also please remember to try to take a photo of what you take out of the box to keep, and post it here along with description, reviews of the items, etc. This keeps it interesting!

That sweet little box. All pristine and untouched. Not knowing how anxiously we are awaiting awaiting our turns at pillaging it.

 

[Tatum]

It just came! Unfortunately I have to go to Orlando for an event this evening, so I won't be opening it til tomorrow. I'm running out the door here in a few minutes!

Gracie Lee (who has been busy with school this month) totally missed the thread and was wondering if she can pillage the box with me and add to it as well, if it is alright that I wait until the weekend to send it out to crwitt, as I will be spending the weekend with Gracie Lee, who is about 2 hours north of me.

Girls, does anyone mind? That way we can sort of add another participant. If not, please let me know and I will get it moving again on Wednesday.

Thanks crwitt! Ladies? Come on, weigh in!

 

[C-dot]

I don't mind, the more the merrier!

 

[fortworthgal]

Tatum - glad to hear you got the box. Yay!!! And I think it is just fine if she pillages/contributes & you send it out after the weekend, so long as you make sure to post some great pictures of said pillaging. I hope you find some fun things you can use!

For reference, I don't mind if anyone wants to let a good friend, sibling, parent, roommate, whatever, pillage the box while it is in your possession - so long as they also contribute.

 

[Tatum]

Oh good, I'm so glad everyone is alright with that. Now.... Should I raid by myself first or wait and raid with Gracie this weekend?? Decision, decisions!

 

[Bluebird Marsha]

Oh you have to wait. Hopefully you'll want the same thing- and there'll be a catfight.With pictures!

 

[C-dot]

My philosophy is "Every man for himself" lol

 

[fortworthgal]

I'm with C-Dot! I say raid now and take pictures. I'm nosey and anxious. You can always do a second go-through this weekend... and take more pics. LOL.

 

[Tatum]

Hehehe! Decisions

I'm still in Orlando so we shall see. The box is sitting on my vanity at home. Gracie and I are good about shopping together, we share well, so I don't foresee any catfighting! The nice thing is, we can always borrow from each other

Thanks crwitt! Ladies? Come on, weigh in!

Fine with me too!!

 

[zombi]

I hope you gals have fun! Take pictures!

 

[fortworthgal]

The weekend needs to hurry up, I wanna see what you ladies find!

 

[olive bleu]

I knoW!! It feels like Christmas!!

 

[Tatum]

Ok, we have spent the last hour getting items together for the box and going through it... Oh my goodness, will it close?? Lol...

Will update soon with pics!
Xoxo,
Tatum & Gracie

 

[Tatum]

Ok, we finally got through everything! I'll be soooo curious to see who takes what... I wasn't going to take both the soaps but we needed the room! LOL... This is so much fun! I hope the box goes around a few times

My haul...Best part is, I have been saying for days that I needed to replace my nail brush!

Gracie's haul...

 

[fortworthgal]

Yay for a reveal! lol Looks like you ladies found some nice things! I love those Yardley soaps, they smell so nice. And I am so glad you found some things you can use, like the nail brush. Those NYX palettes are so pretty.

The other times I've done this (on another forum) getting the box to close is a constant issue, but a nice problem to have! Please don't worry about feeling like you're taking too much out, many times it is necessary.

I'm already gathering stuff up for my turn!
