Omgzzz. I wanted that entire chocolate bar set thingy SO BADLY. But that was right at the beginning of my beauty kick and right when I first joined MUT. I didn't buy it because I thought "Will I ever NEED this much make up at once? Is this too much money to spend on make up?" ...well folks, look at me now. I'm a monster. A pretty, pretty monster.

I love my chocolate bar set! I got it at nordstrom rack and only one of the palettes had been touched.. I got it for $25 or something and used a gift card. I don't ever use the lip set or the eyeliner but hey! The shadows are nice! And travel friendly, and have a fun mirror. They're amazingly pigmented and go on easily. I might like them better than my UD ammo palette and the other one. The more buttery an eyeshadow is, the more I tend to like it. Almost always I don't do eyeshadow though and stick with my kitten eyeliner.

STOP IT!! I've noticed that everyone on this thread has been thrilled to receive their gifts, you have given a lot thought to the gifts you are sending a person you've never met based on what you've learned from them based on a wish list, a Santa questionnaire and their posts... I am sure they are going to be thrilled that you took the time to do something special just for term.

I'm really happy that I chose to participate this year, the entire experience has been lovely. Has anyone else noticed the wonderful sense of generosity and gratitude on these threads? I would adopt half of you for the holidays next year - just to have the fun of picking out things to match the personalities I have imagined you have.
yes! All of you ladies are welcome over for coffee, martinis, or a home cooked meal next Christmas. Y'all are darling

  Oh man ... just went to Lush for the first time ever for my secret santa. The woman was so nice, I explained the makeuptalk and the secret santa thing and she thought it was really awesome. She was so sweet asking thoughtful questions about my SS and made recommendations not only based on her skin type and likes, but also things she might need based on her job! Without even noticing, I ended up spending $60 though!! Now I have to figure out which things I'll give to my SS and which to give to other members of the family (or keep for myself :p /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />) And figure out the best way to mail the mask with ice packs and such so it stays cold on the journey across the country ...
I am pretty new to Lush and they are amazing!  They sat me down and massaged things into my hands.  If I hadn't been on a strict budget I could have left my whole paycheck there!  Definitely going back.

That's the part  I love! My hands come out so soft when I leave there.

  I'm fine with things not being in their big outer packaging.  That said, I keep things in their boxes forever.  Like my UD lipstick I got a couple months ago is inside it's box, inside my purse.  I'm just weird.
I do the same thing so I guess you're not the only weird one.

Wahh I'm so happy! Literally tearing up on the train into work right now :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I was so excited it was already delivered that I called my boyfriend to tell him, and he was like "that's cool when do you get yours?" and I was like "I literally don't care! Doing something special for this girl is way better than any present!!" And it's so true :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Yes!! You did well, it was still nice and cool! And I squealed when I saw it, because I have always wanted to try a mask, and since there's not one near me I figured I'd never be able to! SO EXCITED!!

 
Every time we're on Snow Alert here in Atlanta I always get a mental picture of people screaming MILK AND BREAD!!!  MILK AND BREAD!! FOR GAWD'S SAKE MILK AND BREAD.   Why not Cheetos and Pepsi?   Vodka and Orange Juice and Firewood?   It's always milk and bread.    Stay Warm.

Oh my gosh, I had JUST moved to Atlanta from Michigan when we got that 'snow storm' right after the New Years back in 2011... I wasn't prepared for the madness. I went to Kroger just expecting to get normal groceries. There wasn't anything there! It was absolutely bananas! Lol I had no idea how crazy it got down here from even the mention of snow.
