I get the same way when I smell Earl Grey Tea. It smells just like Fruity Pebbles to me! lol

Speaking of tea, I LOVE tea and I buy lots of it, but for some reason I don't make any tea at home. Is that weird?

I'm going to try to make some now that I've mentioned it... lol

Yay, I bought the same bag as everyone else because I'd been wanting to try some of the items but I'd never heard of the Suki scrub, glad to hear that it's amazing, makes me happy with my decision /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I also got the Balm Jovi and Mary-Lou Manizer...I had many other things in my cart at first, but had to talk myself down!

I am glad the bag with the Suki sold out now I will not be tempted by it. My collection of beauty stuff is out of control because I just don't have anymore space for it. Maybe I just need to organize it better so I can buy more stuff!!!

Feeling pretty awesome about this order I made last night! Though I do keep feeling like I should've ordered the ModelCo Party Proof lipsticks in Classics instead of the LAQA&Co duo. I'm STILL waffling back and forth on which I should've ordered! Especially since I'm sure it'll be a pain in the butt if I want  to return the LAQA and get the ModelCo instead.

That's exactly how my sample felt. Worked wonderfully, just a pain in the butt to get out. I'm going to take a guess and say the sample batch just turned out differently than the full size batches. I'm soooo happy I got to get a full size finally, nonetheless.

Totally late with this but can you add an oil to it to moisten it?

I have the Dermablend concealer! I use it on my red breakouts since I found, that while it is super creamy, it still creases under my eyes. I have to use a high coverage more liquidy concealer under my eyes, it's the only thing that works for me unfortunately /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  BUT, that doesn't mean that it wouldn't work on you!

I love It Cosmetics and tarte concealers for under my eyes. It doesn't take much and then I add a tiny bit of Touche Éclat on top of that. I look like I have two black eyes and it covers them well. Before I tried these, I went to the department store to test some. When I walked up to Clinique counter I think I scared the woman because she practically yelled; "You have dark circles!!!" And I hadn't even told her what I was there to try. I mumbled something and left the store, then went home and ordered the tarte.

My Pick 2 Mystery Pack:


Redken shine flash spray, whatever that is. And a facial wash cloth by Koh Gen Do, leftover from March 2012.

Finally able to get back on the computer.  My hours are all wack!!! I spent all my points in this order cuz I also had a 25% off anniversary code.  I had $110 worth of points and spent $5 extra;  my total was $115 and change.  Here's my order: Deborah Lippmann Mermaid's Eyes stila smudge stick waterproof eye liner Shade Peacock stila smudge stick waterproof eye liner Shade Purple Tang Pick Two Sample Pack (free with $35+ order) Choose Mystery Pack Jouer Mineral Powder Blush Shade Peach Bouquet One Love Organics® My New Best Friend Skin Shammy KOR Aura Water Bottle Color Ice Blue Core Bamboo Flower Bowl Color Cherry   Love everything in this order!  The Flower Bowl is a bit littler than I had imagined, but really cute and a nice size.  BB points rock!!  Helps feed my makeup addiction lol BB was really good to me this time!!  Usually I get alright regular BB boxes with a few dudes.  I was hoping for some type of makeup item in my mystery pack and really scored this time.  Hope to see some more fun mystery pack reveals /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Have they ever given Noya Lip Balm before? I couldn't find any references to it and it would totally fit in with the food theme we've been seeing. Is this a hidden clue?

It would be a little funny if BB and Ipsy were sampling the same product. Imagine the horror!

I think BB sampled that lip balm a long time ago if i'm not mistaken. can't remember when, but maybe in their first year? maybe the pics are just pics people posted over the years.
