(Discussion) Secret Santa 2013 is coming soon!

[meaganola]

Whoo! All packed and shipped! Now to cross my fingers and hope it has an easy pass through the customs dance!

 

[LadyK]

I just heard from an elf and my gift should be here Monday!!!  That would be an awesome way to start the week.  I will try not to molest the mailman when he comes.  (no guarantees) Thank you Secret Santa, you made my day today!!

 

[LadyK]

So now I am reverse stalking trying to figure out who shipped recently.  LOL.  The suspense!  I feel like I've gotten to know everyone on here and can't wait to see who's been stalking me.

Me too I am currently using the starburst ones and I love them.

  Is there even away to figure out who is your SS? lol There are so many participants this year.  This thread is indeed a lot more entertaining last year.  I am trying not to think about my Secret Santa too much.  I hope my SS didn't have any trouble picking out items for me. Im really simple actually, lol my SS last year made me cry with the attention to detail that was put into everything!  I love this part of MakeupTalk. 

I've been trying to figure it out. My boyfriend keeps telling me "can't you just be surprised?" but I have to try and get clues. I have two ladies that might be possible santas (if they are regular posters) but really I won't know until Saturday - an elf just let me know it's on its way and Squeeeee! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 I think I scared the hubby with my happy dance when I saw the message from my elf with tracking. Now its just the waiting game.

Just in case the ice storm gets me.

I promise to return as soon as we defrost. Literally the city is shutting down. You have to love the south and a little snow. There is not a loaf of bread in the whole county.
Stay warm, hope you got a loaf of bread lol!

I think my Mom and Hubby are almost as excited as I am about having tracking.  Lol.  They have been following all the reveals and love how sweet everyone on here is.

It's been  a lousy mail week (I have gotten NOTHING except for bills from the time I broke my ankle - merry christmas to me) so I'm just super excited! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Also got shipping for the order I made, so my girl's gift will be on its way as soon as that arrives. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
Exiting! I cant wait to see everyone's pics.

YAY! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I'm WAY more excited for my girl to get her gift than I am to get my own (and I'm really excited about that too!). I hope she posts something right away when she gets it!

So glad I can relax this weekend. My lady got her box, Z has a party today so i finished her shopping, I've done all I can with my guys' boxes until Mon. Only issue was hubby called with bad news, I don't have enough info to elaborate so I'll hold off on speculation for now. So now just relaxing until 2, looking at all the pretty presents everyone got. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

This is the first 'Naked' product I've actually had an interest in buying! I just use a lot of pink shades in my every day look, so I know I'd get a lot of use out of it. I don't really see it as a neutral palette at all.

Buuuuut I've spent entirely too much money the last week, so I'm waiting until after Christmas to buy it. My Birthday is right away in January so I'll treat myself. 

Still have to decide what to buy with my $20 GC but I'm waiting to see what my Secret Santa picked out for me!

My birthday is in January, too! And I'm planning on picking this one up for my birthday. I bought the Alice in Wonderland on my birthday the year it came out, but I want this one to wear on my birthday, so I'm keeping an eye on the UD site for a potential inventory closure special like they did last year. I told the hubby I wanted Naked3 for my birthday in March, I love pink and it just seems fitting to wear on my birthday because it will be spring.

Okay, @pooteeweet213
 YOU MADE ME CRY LIKE A FRICKIN BABY. So sweet and thoughtful and I love everything, ahhh <3 <3

Wahh I'm so happy! Literally tearing up on the train into work right now

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

 it feels so  nice to be able to give.

Riiiiight.  Good luck with that.   (I have two two-year-old cats.  One likes to bite -- just bite, not chew -- the edges of flaps on cardboard boxes.  He also has what I refer to as his chewy towel that he sits and chews on just because.  There are other towels around, but he focuses on this one particular towel for some reason, and he wanders around the apartment very confused when it's in the laundry.  The other cat targets plasticky reusable shopping bags like IKEA sells.  He's uninterested in chewing towels.)

I just laughed so loud!!!! My puppy loves bubble wrap and boxes. Thus, what is a puppy mom to do? I have to shop online! It is for the kid! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[dressupthedog]

Dear Secret Santa, I'm so excited to find out who you are! Can you send a tracking number or info via an elf after you send my package? My post office/ delivery guy have been having issues lately and I'd like to know when to keep a look out for it. On another note, I finally got the last item for my lovely lady today. Then I found a really great deal on something I think she NEEDS so I had to order it. So it's back to the waiting game for me. I can't wait to get it so I can send her package out! I know she's excited /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I can also recommend OCC's Rx lip tar- very similar shade of blue but you wouldn't have to work as much and it'll stay for sure lol.

I do not suggest Manic Panics (I think it's called midnight? Don't remember- but it's blue) as you have to build it a hell of a lot and its a very dark blue.

Thanks!! I don't own any Sugarpill yet, but I'll have to give it and the OCC a try!

Hehehehe same here. Mine was supposed to be here today, but no joy yet, so I'm not ignoring you dear Santa!  (Insert an image of the eyes on you finger pointing thingy) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I still think I have a good idea who sent mine, and I'll be super super excited either way!!!

Oh you MUST! Sugarpill is my absolute favorite eyeshadow (and hey make some awesome lashes!) company (But they carry no browns/neutrals...but I assume you're not craving that lol) and OCC lip tars are just the bees knees- just know that they aren't your typical lipstick or gloss....and you might even need a little practice- but SO worth it. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
