Just a shout out of THANKS to this thread on excellent knowldege in addition to the win-win situation of finding great new homes for orphaned products.  

I've been craving the Melvita water, it's in such demand with both the heat and drying air-conditioning and haven't been able to land a bundled trade for some.  Then, I remembered reading a thread way back about being able to purchase floral waters at either a gourmet markets or ethnic stores and so off I went today.  

I got a bottle of the rose water and one the orange blossom water and they are addictive, sorta like this site.  The brand at my local gourmet was Al Wadi, though there are others from Spain, France that you can get online.  They cost a fraction of the cosmetic brands and contain pure flower water with no additives.  I'll decant them both into fine mist spray bottles.  My mom already wants one of the rose.    

Thanks for sharing that WHOEVER YOU ARE, I WANT TO THANK YOU...  (Does anyone know the song that this  refrain is from?)

right?? i am having too much fun.. and getting a lot of eyerolls from the guy, but he just doesn't understand the joy of new-to-me packages of awesomeness! haha. i can't wait to see what the july boxes will really be like, and how different they are, so we can all start plotting our next trades.

I loooove trading! I think it's a large part of why I am never disappointed in my sample subscriptions. My husband and my brother both make fun of me, but they also use my non-makeup samples, so I don't care. One day, my nail polish was drying so my husband helped me tape up my trade package. I told him it needed to be taped on all sides because I want to keep my good feedback. He asked if he would get good feedback for helping. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> (Don't tell your men, but he says Shea Terra Black Soap is great for shaving. And yes, I'm hiding my other tiny bottle.)

 

[gracewilson]

What I have (New unless otherwise noted):

Birchbox:

• EyeRock Stick-on Eyeliners (opened to look at, but not used - four sets in pack)

• Taylor Swift Wonderstruck (birchbox sample vial)

Other:

• Twistbands! one tie-died red & white, one tie-died blue & white, one white with navy anchors on it (hair ties, not headbands)
• Cover FX Total Coverage Cream Foundation (.4 oz, full size), color C30.  (swatched once with clean sponge - I won this and guessed my color wrong.  It's too dark for me.) (PENDING)
• Clinique high impact eye shadow trio in sugar sugar & rose wine duo (.12 oz) (new but compact is a little beat up & applicator missing.  this is a slightly shimmery white, pink, and rose)
  
• Mary Kay Signature Eyesicles Eye Color in Vanilla (.23 oz)
  
• Mary Kay Signature Lipstick in Mauve Elegance, full size (swatched once on a clean hand, a bright pink color)
  

What I would like:

• Stila Liquid Eyeliner in Dark Brown or Rock Candy
• TheBalm Stainiac in Beauty Queen
• Makeup products (esp. tarte, stila, benefit, thebalm etc.) in safe colors... I'm not brave!

haha how sweet! mine helps by doing messy envelopes and writing return addresses in pens that are dying. so i am pretty sure my feedback is boned. lol.  at least they left the car - more than i expected /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

( oooh i want to try that black soap ! i missed out on every sub that was sending them out/anything by that brand period. )

If i ever got a nice body wash it would be stolen in a heartbeat though. He has a loudly affirmed weakness for girly smelling washes. haha /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
