​Don't judge me, but I do have a system for receiving and handling my goods. When I place an order I enter the item by brand &/or brand collection and product name onto my inventory document in sky-blue text. When the item arrives I change the text to black, my indicator for, 'item received.' I then make labels and store the items by category---blush, drawer, highlighter drawer, etc. I immediately dispose of all boxes/packaging (providing the item is perfect & what I expect it to be) and keep a few dust covers to use as protection during travel.

I think your home renovation might need to include a warehouse and a truck unloading zone...I'm starting to think UPS has a special truck reserved for you...and our beloved @elegant-one

Has anyone tried the smoky gold palette yet? I am still on the fence about getting it, but I don't want it to sell out if I take too long to decide. What to do?

The pigmentation really wasn't fantastic, the sparkle in the gold was lovely... it was just kind of subtle to the point of non-existence otherwise and I'm papery white.

Lol, it would actually be helpful at times. I hope to design my own spacious walk in wardrobe one day, and perhaps a processing facility could be part of it.

That's wonderful, I hope it all turns out great and you can create a nice space for you to enjoy and store all your pretty things!! I can't wait for the next JC's to come out, especially the ones we have had a preview of on the JC thread.

​I hope to have some help with the design aspect---not looking forward to being temporarily displaced but that's just a necessary evil---won't last forever.
I need to give my JCs more love---like making it a point to wear Innocence sometime soon!!!

Our UPS guy used to but boxes behind my car in our garage until one day there were so many boxes (some quite large) that I couldn't get out of the garage.
That's the sign of a real problem.

I'll try to swatch mine soon!

My experience differed. I agree the shimmery gold is amazing!!!

Uh-oh, I wasn't interested in Smoky Gold at all but if you swatch it, it's going to look fab lol

I'll do it again tomorrow when there's adequate natural light, but based on the way that it swatched on me, I have no regrets about this
purchase.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I needed that laugh!

I swatched mine and the pigmentation of all three shades was good and showed up well on my NC 44 skin. I took a pic but was short on daylight. Looking forward to
wearing it.

The one swatch I saw was on pale skin & looked absolutely FABULOUS shades that I like to wear. So COOL babe!

I ordered it! It just shipped so you can wait if you want for my pics. Google it - there is one beautiful set of swatches on fair skin.

I also ordered Tout Paris ls

never met a red lipstick I didn't love

It's so, so pretty. I think I'll wear it tomorrow. I'm doing a personal challenge in which I use a different e/s palette everyday for the remainder of the month.
​ Actually using my stuff makes me seem like less of a hoarder!!!
