I LOVED LOVED LOVED my gift.

You did such an amazing job picked stuff out. You went far above and beyond what I expected.

I also got my gift when I was super sick and it made me feel better.

glitter! Oh, and the card just made my day!

Pics:

thanks so much again! I might be sending you a "little surprise"

in the mail when I'm done unpacking and moving into my new apartment.

 

[Lily_Lyla]

Mercurial, let me know when it arrives =]

 

[Willa]

I'm really happy that you liked it
I was starting (before I read your story in the chatter section) to worry that you didnt like it and didnt want to talk about it

But that's just me, the worry in person
I really love the Inglot trios, I have lots of them, so I thought it would be a good idea to buy you one

Did you try the Lise Watier liner???
I read somewhere that you liked glitters, I hope I didnt send you too much glitters hahaha

 

[Lily_Lyla]

Ah it's Lise Watier

I honestly read it as 'Use Water' I was slightly confused

 

[Dahlia_Rayn]

So, I had a pretty crappy Monday...until I got home. My elf decided she was going to send me a "card".

I guess all this other stuff snuck in there!

In this picture: Red Cherry Lashes (76, 600, 15), MAC Carbon ES, MAC Dipdown Fluidline, yummy Crabtree & Evelyn Soap, Rimmel Kiss & Stay Lip Gloss in First Kiss and Eternal Kiss (love), Vincent Longo gloss in Rosewood Luster and DiVino (incredible), a Bare Escentuals Mascara (black) Glitter (Ruby) combo, MUFE SensEYES cleaner, a sample of Aquolina Pink Sugar fragrance, My Little Pony color book, super cute socks, and two books (Twice Kissed by Lisa Jackson and Most Likely to Die by Lisa Jackson et.al.) Also, it is necessary to check out Restruct at myspace.com/restruct!

Lookie what else:

Incredible pigment samples, I'm not sure where from, but I will find out!
Row 1: Scruples, A bit Naughty, Driven by Instinct, Twisted Psychic, Tear Jerk
Row 2: Moral Enemy, Kitty Kat, Mesh and Lace, Asylum, Zelda's Revenge
These are seriously gorgeous


These are Ben Nye Pigment Samples in Iced Gold, Cosmic Violet, Silver, Amethyst and Comet Blue. These are delicious!

Some card huh?
I'm so blessed and posting this makes me cry all over again...I had a great SS who knocked my socks off...and then this! You girls are so great I can't even stand it.

Thank you elf, I love everything and I'm enjoying playing with it so much! I adore you!

 

[SuSana]

^^Those Ben Nye piggies look beautiful!

 

[Mercurial]

Lily_Lyla thank you so much!!

I've been away on a course for the last couple of days so my gift was here waiting. I've been wanting to try NYX for ages so am looking forward to playing with these pigments. Will work out how to post a pic of all my lovely things, thanks again!

Concertina -

I'm going to send out a replacement as not really holding out too much hope about the previous gift, it shouldn't take over a month to get to you.

 

[melliquor]

Any news on my gift yet?

Your Elf is my bff and one of the nicest, most generous people I know!!
Love your stuff! Have fun playing with your *cough* card!!!

 

[Lily_Lyla]

Mercurial I'm so glad it arrived! I was so worried. I realised afterwards I had forgot to include the card too! I am so forgetful at times.

YAY!! I'm so glad you liked everything - I honestly didn't know what to get you and was on the prowl on specktra and this thread for weeks to see what you liked. But, in the end, I figured these colors would look fabulous on you - enjoy!! I hope this makes up for my craptacular wrapping job - my apologies again...

 

[Lissa]

I just read this whole thread pretty much, I know I'm late but it really brought christmas excitement flooding back on this dreary January day! I have loved seeing what everyone got from their SS. I hope the missing packages turn up soon.

I'd love to participate next year! or be a penpal for someone before then

[concertina]

First off, I have to say THANK YOU to Tish for her incredibly thoughtful and sweet and lovely package she sent me.

Noisy Black mascara
Three pigment samples!
Go and Solar White eyeshadows
Beaux Lusterglass
Russe Lipstick

I never in the world would of thought to try that lip color but I LOVE IT!!! And Solar White is the *one* shadow from Cool Heat I passed on and regreted not getting!! AND IT IS WONDERFUL!!!

So thank you to Tish; she is an angel.

Now then!! I also received my original Secret Santa package, Mercurial!! IT CAME!!

The zip code was off by one number, so I'm imagining that's why it bounced around for a while. But I got it!!!

2 Montagnue Jeunesse Masks - a brand I've wanted to try for a long time now!
A Nail buffer - which I desperately need!
A cute cosmetics case and hand cream!
Yummy Lindt Chocolates
A Barry M and Gosh cosmetics pigment - I'm so anxious to try them!
A Gosh liquid liner and a an eyeshadow whose brand I can't remember.

A MAC Lusterglass in Beaux and an Eye Shadow Suite in Blue Zone!!!

So both my SS decided I need Beaux Lusterglass lol!!

So a big, huge thanks to both of my Secret Santa's. You ladies are both pretty wonderful.

 

[TISH1124]

^^^ That is so funny......I am so glad you got all your goodies!! This must mean Beaux was meant for you!! Enjoy your stuff and have fun playing with it all!!

 

[TISH1124]

Everyone check in... Has everyone received theor SS gifts now ?
