Round 2 Beauty Box thread

[zombi]

Thanks! It was very fun -- I am pagan and so we had them do a traditional handfasting for us, but we did it with an Elvis in a retro diner. I'll have pictures some time the future if you'd like to see.

 

[olive bleu]

oh YEAH!!!

Congrats Zombi!

Getting married in Vegas should be the number 1 acceptable excuse for a delay in the beauty box rotation.

I can't wait to see the next reveal! Hopefully the box arrives in Canada soon.

 

[olive bleu]

me too! it feels like it came so much quicker last time. But I have a feeling I'm just being impatient

 

[zombi]

Ugh! I'm surprised it hasn't arrived there, yet! It should be some time soon. I logged on fully expecting to see that you had received it.

 

[olive bleu]

ok Ladies, the box MAY be nigh. I just stepped outside my apartment door, to take some garbage down the hall, and picked up a small white card that was just lying on the floor in the hallway. It was from Canada Post, and has my name on it. I absolutely have the worst mail lady in the country. My husband was home all day and nobody rang.Anyway, I now have to go to the outlet tommorrow after work to pick up whatever this package is. I have not ordered anything and do not usually get sent packages from family without warning. So keep your fingers crossed!

also(purely to vent) the card said "final Notice". I have not received any other notices , so heaven knows how long this package has been languishing away in the back of the delivery truck somewhere.:mmph:

 

[olive bleu]

The box has arrived !!! I have no idea how zombi squeezed everything in there.,, or how i will get my stuff in. Will make my selections over the next couple days and then post pics.

 

[Lindabelle]

I'm getting excited as the box gets nearer! Looking forward to seeing what goodies you select.

 

[MissLaurieMarie]

Hurray! I can't wait until it gets here! Hopefully my stuff will fit

 

[olive bleu]

You're next! Don't forget to PM me your address. I have my 6 month old grandson on the weekend, so chances are, the box won't get sent out till early next week I have a few larger items that i wanted to get in last time, but it wouldn't fit, so i may have to do some real purging.

 

[zombi]

Oh, thank goodness it arrived safely! I can't wait to see what you choose!

As for how we got everything in there... Mr. Zombi had to hold it closed while I taped it. It was a team effort.

 

[fortworthgal]

^ I can't wait either! I'm so curious what type of goodies are in the box since it left me.

 

[olive bleu]

my plan is to make my final choices tonight, and post pics and pack up box tommorrow night. Box will be in the mail to Misslauriemarie On Thursday a.m.

 

[olive bleu]

ok.ladies.. selections made, items back in the box ( with my additions), and box taped once more and addressed to MissLaurieMarie

Here is what I took:

Sorry if this came out huge, I am challenged

I thought i took a lot untill i went to upload this pic and saw the one of my haul in the previous round, LOL.

I have Boots Skin Tonic, Kiss my Face Sunscreen,Whipped soap frosting,Mary Kay Loose Powder, lancome anti-wrinkle intense collagen serum,Revlon Just bitten lip balm & stain in "Twilight",Buxom lipgloss ( sorry, eyes too bad to read the shade) Toms of maine Toothpaste, some soaps, and a few samples....I had so much fun as usual..and will be taking the box to work tommorrow to ship off via canada Post.




...and oh yes, there was a sweet little pair of earrings in the baggie with the hairclips which you see in the picture as well...

 

[olive bleu]

box is in the mail

 

[fortworthgal]

^ Nice picks! I'm so jealous of the Boots toner! I love that stuff. Is that loose powder in a tube?

 

[olive bleu]

The boots toner was one of my first picks, it is "damask rose" and the scent is amazing! I have not seen that particular product around here, so i was pretty excited..and yes the powder is in the tube! I don't have an empty compact at the moment, but i actually used it this morning..i tapped a bit of it into the palm of my hand and swirled a big brush through it..i might look for something better though..lol

 

[zombi]

Ah, good! I put the Boots toner in there; it's no longer available in stores around here, but I found I didn't really fancy it for my skin. The bottle is very pretty, though, isn't it? I actually think that Boots is going to or has already discontinued the Original Beauty Formula line, which that toner is from.
