Yup, I was actually working at Sephora when it first came out and we all had to wear it. That stuff stays on well, isn't too hard to take off, and the brush is really great for detailing the corners of your lashes.

I traded the Porefessional I had for They're Real. I have heard only good things about it so I really wanted to try it. Now I'm pretty pleased that I will be getting one of those samples (although I'm sad that I won't be getting Porefessional! lol). I am also getting the Stay Don't Stray sample. I wanted that one because it says it's a primer for all around the eyes, not just for eyeshadow, but it will also make a smooth surface for your concealer and help that last too. Like most women I do have some fine lines under my eyes which concealer tends to highlight and make it look like I'm wrinkly there!Originally Posted by looKIMsopretty /img/forum/go_quote.gif
Freakin' mascara. So expensive.
BTW, your last bag was epically pretty! If I could pull off all that amazingness, I'd be even more envious, haha.
I think they've been giving flat card samples of porefessional, so you can at least try that out, Donna! Stay Don't Stray is a pretty good primer, I only really use primer on my eyes though so I stick w either cream shadows or UDPP.

I'm with you on the warning labels I really wish they would disclose that information on the site. I just got the SL large multi compartment satchel and it didn't have a warning label on it so this really makes me wonder about the street level products.Originally Posted by daisybee /img/forum/go_quote.gif
-The SL mint bag. I'm not sure how I feel about this bag. I really dislike how it has the cancer warning label. It makes me really not like the bag as much anymore. I'll probably give this away as a gift too.
-The pink bow! The bows also had the cancer warning label and definitely made me sad! Ugh, I'm really paranoid about these things so I think I will also be giving away these bags as gifts. I would return these for exchange credit but I don't think it's worth it for me to pay $10+ to send these back when I can just give them away as presents.
Things I have learned from LBB:
- I am going to stay away from Nila Anthony, Street Level, and She & Josh. (Only because I dislike how it has the Cancer warning labels. I know a lot of you guys don't care about that label but it just really bothers me. It changes my whole view about the bags :/)
-Definitely trade the whole 7 days! You get a lot more good trades like that!
-I get attached to my items pretty fast LOL It's okay though- I'm more about getting items I really like even if it means 2-3 items in each bag. I rather have that than having a bag with 10+ items with stuff I like but not love.
-Lastly, I am an LBB addict and I need help LOL.
How do you guys stop yourself from opening more than one bag each month? I get too tempted and I like to see what items I could get in a potential bag.

That warning label is going to be on any product made in California that is made with certain chemicals. (there are a ton of them on the list) I was looking into it when I first bought Seche Vite topcoat and it had the label. I discovered that for the most part the label is useless. When Prop 65 passed even Coca Cola had to change their ingredients to avoid the label. If any of these bags did give you cancer they'd have been out of business years ago.
Pretty much ditto.
I think everyone has different goals and that means different trading strategies. I know that I get a lot in my bag and I'm not about to whine about it, but you are right, I usually miss out on the items that are at the top of my list though. It's a gamble, and you got so many beautiful handbags that I think your trading strategy works for you. I have about a half dozen handbags from lbb, but only one was at the top of my first choice bag list.Originally Posted by daisybee /img/forum/go_quote.gif
Finally got around to posting everything I got from LBB! Not pictured: Teal Nila Anthony Color Block Belted Structure Bag & Present Time Two Tone Picture Frame. All these pictures were taken
at my dorm (the NA & Frame weren't taken with me to my dorm)
-As you can see, I really really REALLY like purses/handbags
-the jewelry: I only like the hippo necklace. I never got around to sending back the other necklaces so I guess they will just be gifts.
-My scarves! LBB sent me the wrong paisley scarf (I was supposed to get the brown one but I was sent a green one instead) The brown one is currently being sent to me. I don't think I've ever seen a green paisley scarf on the site before, have you ladies seen one?
-The MB Bone colored bow bag! I looveee it!
-The beige Mystique satchel. The color on the site is off. It's actually a darker color and represented in the picture.
-The MB Edith bag. A bit small but I like it
-The SL mint bag. I'm not sure how I feel about this bag. I really dislike how it has the cancer warning label. It makes me really not like the bag as much anymore. I'll probably give this away as a gift too.
-The black bow!
-The pink bow! The bows also had the cancer warning label and definitely made me sad! Ugh, I'm really paranoid about these things so I think I will also be giving away these bags as gifts. I would return these for exchange credit but I don't think it's worth it for me to pay $10+ to send these back when I can just give them away as presents.
-All my deux lux
-Licorice clutches<3333
-The SM satchel! AHHH! I was so excited when someone accepted my trade offer on the first day. I traded away the R&Em Gig bag and didn't expect anyone to accept the trade. Boy was I surprised to see it in my bag when I logged in
-The Mystique satchel. I tried trading for this bag but no one would accept. I decided to just open a new bag with it. It is very roomy.
-The colorblock BCBG shoulder bag/clutch! I was so disappointed when I found out the strap wasn't long enough to be a crossbody. I should have read the details more. I am going to find a longer chain strap and make it a crossbody. I couldn't decided between this color and the grey/white one. It's going to be harder for me to match this purse but it's okay
-The Big Buddha crossbody in the middle. Super adorable. I didn't really want this bag at first but it started to grow on me.
-EEEECK the Berry colored MB whip stitch messenger bag. I LOVEE it. Traded the gray MB lock and key just to get this. (I already have the brown lock and key from last time
-One of the few FC brown crossbody bag. It is a bit small but I can manage.
-Last but not least: the brown lock and key! My favorite bag of them all! I haven't used it yet but I loveee it<33
I just remembered I forgot to take a picture of my SM sunglasses, haha. I'll do it when I get my other LBB

I'm almost certain that Leilani (who lives in CA) said something like this too, that the label is on everything so it gets ignored. So it sounds like the label is useless except for freaking out those of us who aren't used to it in states besides California! lol
I got this stuff today, a day early.Originally Posted by amberlamps /img/forum/go_quote.gif
I decided to ship because there was nothing else I really wanted more than the items I got. I don't think I did too horribly on my first bag.
Starting:
Ending:
I did not know that about the "Buddha" despite enjoying Buddhism in my religion class. I thought Buddha was just a term of sorts for generic gods. Ya learn something new every day!
Out of all this stuff, one thing arrived broken. Take a wild guess which one. I'll give you a hint, it's the one thing I was most excited about. I'll give you another hint...you all have no reason to be "jealous" of this item I got. *sniffle sob*Originally Posted by DonnaJ /img/forum/go_quote.gif
I closed my bag very early this morning and traded like a maniac in those last hours!
As you can see, this is my jewelry lbb haul, and MUCH BETSEY HAULAGE! WOOHOO! I can't wait to get my goodies. And...are you all jealous of my sweet Betsey bee necklace, or what??? lmao!
(just a little edit to fix the messed up spacing between pictures.)
that's too bad you are disappointed with your stuff. I guess the bag does look a little odd when it's flat & empty, but I really like using mine. I think I mostly like how well the strap hangs on my shoulder - no slipping off or hanging at an odd height. The side pockets are also great for putting my phone, keys, etc. Even keeps a water bottle handy
