Yeah! I think I'm actually anticipating this box more than either my BirchBox, MyGlam or Sample Society! LOL!

Oooookie, here we go! Package arrived today in good shape. This is what I unpacked:
(I literally changed out the regular lens on my camera for the wide-angle lens - LOL!
I took out:
And, I put in:
I added in three bon-bon nail polishes after the picture was taken. They were opened to smell (they smell like fruit), but not used. Everything in the picture is new EXCEPT for the ColorClub polish in Candycane (swatched on 2 nails), and the Olay foundation (it's a a pump, used once).
I repacked with a ton of bubble wrap...changed out the Beauty Army box for a BirchBox box that has all the swatched samples, rubber-banded shut. The nail polishes are in the BeautyFix bag with bubble wrap.
Emailed to get the next address. If I get the address by 8am PST, I can have it in Wed's mail, otherwise, it will go out with Thursday's mail.
Super fun - this is awesome! @MyriasVoices - thanks for the mini OPI!

Yay!!! I think it might be more fun to watch the box make the rounds than it is to get to pick what you want! I'm glad you found some things you like!Originally Posted by tgooberbutt /img/forum/go_quote.gif

Tonight Tgooberbutt dropped off the box at my place--hooray! So, did I spend my evening folding laundry like I was going to? Heck, no! I spent it going though the fabulous box. Seriously, it was like early Christmas.
I've e-mailed Jenna for the next address, and should be able to send out tomorrow or Friday. I took a couple of pictures, but will have to wait til I get to work tomorrow to upload them. And I forgot to put one mini nail polish in the pic of what I put in the box. Oh well, it will be a surprise.
I attached little labels to some of the things--for example, there are some Body Shop eyeshadows in there. I'll be honest, they are old. However, they are powders (which keep pretty much indefinitely) and two were swatched, one was never even opened. I've indicated which was which. There are a few very new lipstick samples in there--all swatched with a clean brush--but they might look a little squishy due to the nature of the sample (little disks of lipstick in the company's baggies). It'll all make sense when you see it. Upon receiving the box, if anyone has questions about any of the things I've labelled, please feel free to ask.

Ok, I'm going to try to upload the photos. First, the stuff I put in (before labelling swatched items, so you can actually see them.)
And now, the stuff I took out:
This was great fun!

Hey everyone I just got the box! Unfortunately I have to work tomorrow (blah, work on Saturday ...), so I will not get a chance to go though everything until tomorrow evening/Sunday. I will make sure to post pics ASAP. With Sunday and no PO , I will make sure the box goes out first thing Monday. At first glance looks like a great bunch of samples and can't wait to add my own!

Hey all. The box is all set to move on to the next person. I emailed for the address Friday and am just waiting for that, so hopefully it will ship soon! Unfortunately I only have my iPhone and iPad and can't figure out how to post pics - is that even possible?

Okay here are some photos. still waiting on the next address, so the earliest it will go out is tomorrow.
Our kitty Tiger wouldn't even let me open the box! He was perhaps even more excited than me!

Box arrived today! It was jam packed full of goodies. I forgot to take a shot of everything.
Following the cat theme, Mia is making her selections.
This is what I took out.
This is what I put in.
I also wound up adding the leopard print Target bag to repack some things. The box is all packed up and ready to go out again as soon as I get the next address.
