Yay! I'm so happy I could remind people about August, because it was this forum that I first found out they even did bonus points during certain times! I was so lost before I met you guys!
BTW, I keep wanting to do one of those traveling boxes on Sephora's board, but I NEVER get in fast enough on the list. Would anyone here be interested in something like that? This is how it works: Someone starts a box. You put HIGH-END samples, deluxe samples, or unused products (say, from the likes of Sephora). People sign up to be on the list, we make a list based on who signs up first. FOR EVERYTHING YOU TAKE, YOU HAVE TO PUT BACK PRODUCTS OF EQUAL VALUE. For example, you can't take a news Nars blush and just put in a mini Bad Gal lash. Now, if you take two mini Bad Gal lashes and some skincare samples, and a mini Korres tube of creme, putting in a mini That's Real! you don't need, a full-sized Butter London (new) polish is more than fair. The point is to put in what you take back monetary-wise (don't we all have duplicates we don't need?) I will warn you guys that the shipping costs can get expensive- like $12 to ship to the next person if it gets really heavy- but I've seen girls score new Nars primers, blushes, new YSL lipsticks, things like that. And, drugstore brands ARE welcomed- you just can't take a $30 product for a $12 drugstore mascara, you know? Just something to put out there. And it doesn't have to be all expensive. If you just want a couple of perfume samples, that's all you have to put back. If anyone has more questions, go to Sephora's board and check out the loot they get!
Speaking of trading, I think my cousins and I are the only ones who actually *like* Celebutard by Kat Von D. So if you have a mini of one of those that you know you'll never use, I will gladly trade you some goodies for it!
You should check out the circular swap box. It's the same concept- a box of samples/full size products gets sent around to the group and you take and add things of equal value. It's not open right now, but it's a ton of fun! You get rid of stuff you don't want and get stuff you do want!
