I registered for the Ann Taylor Chicago event- I've just gotten my shipping notification, but no invite to the event and I have a Chicago address!  But I registered anyways- I went to the Benefit event a few months ago and it was -amazing-.

Yay!  Lipstick!  And I've used the moisturizer before and LOVED IT!  But... Foot wipes.  And boob tape.  And anti-aging stuff.  Meh.  Meh, I say!  I can't even see those trading well.  So... kinda hoping for another version of a .44 lbs box?  The upside is, if I do get it, it's an $8 lipstick, some moisturizer, and a $5 store credit, so I'm still coming out ahead!  

Haha, that was where my less than enthusiastic feelings were coming from but after thinking about it a bit - I am feeling better about the box.

Nope - you just need to fill out your name, email address, and how many tickets (2 limit) you want.

Got my box!



ModelCo Party Proof Lipstick in Kitty

Violet Oasis 100% Organic Argan Oil (4ml)

Whish Coconut Milk Correcting Gel (.75floz.)

Whish Hair Inhibiting Deodorant Wipe

Miss Jessie's Rapid Recovery Treatment & Super Sweetback Treatment (.46oz. each)

 

[Pisces1969]

My box has arrived - no photo but here's what's inside.

Box weight was .525

Dr. Jart Premium BB Cream
Jasmine Seven Fresh Feet Wipes
ModelCo Party Proof in Kitty ( this came broken in the lid, hoping BB will make it right!)
Number 4 Super Comb Prep & Protect spray
Beauty Extra - Miss Jessie's Super Slip Sudsy Shampoo
I've already FB messaged BB about my broken lippy - probably a result of spending all day in a hot mail truck!

I'm happy because the one thing I really didn't want was the Tan Towel.

 

[kellyc2606]

I just registered for the Seattle (Bellevue) Ann Taylor event. Next Thursday...very exciting!!

 

[AshJs3]

No box, but my Amika Hair Mask I ordered arrived! It's huuuuuge! Love it! I also got a nice mystery pick 2! A full size Stila bronzer and jouer illuminizer.

 

[JC327]

Still waiting on a clicky truck for my first account, I hope I get something good since they have me waiting so long.

They are also sampling eyeliner found this on Instagram didn't ipsy sample this too?


Yup. Apparently the eyeliner retails for $21, if I'm not mistaken, BUT I don't know anything about its quality.


Cailyn Gel liner is awesome! I have 2 of them and they apply very smoothly and once they set they are damn near bulletproof!

Oooo, share how you use it in rice krispy treats & with crushed pretzels?
put some cocnut oil in a pan and melt, add marshmallows and stir.

then add in your rice krispies and crushed up pretzels.

spread it out into a pan and sprinkle mini choco chips on the top.

they are dangerously delicious.

just an fyi, trader joes is the best coconut oil to use for this because it still has a cocnut-y flavor, where as some of them, through processing, lose that flavor.


Definitely saving this recipe to try out soon! Sounds delicious!

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Ugh I hate that brand /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> If bb starts using these cheaper brands that ipsy uses I might have to drop it also /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

I would do if BB does that.

Minneapolis?!!!! Omg there's NEVER any events here!! I clicked the link and it's not actually in Minneapolis, it's at the Mall of America which is a 1/2 hr away from Minneapolis (without traffic). I was super excited because I work 2 blocks away from the downtown Minneapolis Anne Taylor! I still registered because they will probably never come here again.

Overall I'm not exactly enthused by this box although I will probably use the Ann Taylor codes.  

Jasmine Seven (peppermint) Fresh Feet Wipes - 2

Juice Beauty Oil-Free Moisturizer - 15ml
ModelCo Party Proof Lipstick - Disco Fever
Supergoop! Advanced SPF 37 Anti-Aging Eye Cream - 2 ml
 
Lifestyle Extra:
Showstoppers Designer Fashion Tape - 2 black strips
 
 



Speaking of Ann Taylor - anyone going to the Boston even on 8/15?

I'm going to the Boston event.  Will be nice to meet other BB fans!

I kept checking for box contents that Zadidoll posted earlier. Still 404's! I wonder if BB saw this and knew about it so they're holding it out until the 10th? 😕 My gift acct showed to deliver on 12th but it's already in a sorting facility an hr away from where I am. It will deliver tmrw. Still no clicky truck on my original acct.
