Round 2 Beauty Box thread

Update!
MissLaurieMarie – Alberta, Canada <--- box is on the way to her!
Lindabelle – NSW, Australia

After Lindabelle, we'll be done with this round, and I'll ask her to ship the box back to me. What is the interest level in doing another round?

i may do another round at some point, but not right away. I have nothing left to give...

I got the box today - it actually arrived yesterday according to the tracking info but Canada Post doesn't like to put out a slip until it's been sitting in the post office for a week or so >.< Good thing I checked online!

Here is what I took! Mostly eye shadows and soaps




FYI - I didn't see a log list. Did I miss it or did it get lost along the way?
I PM'd Lindabelle for her address and will send it on ASAP.

I am not interested in doing another round.

So glad it got there safe and sound...and no you werent missing anything.. there was no log list this time

Ah, good! I put the Boots toner in there; it's no longer available in stores around here, but I found I didn't really fancy it for my skin. The bottle is very pretty, though, isn't it? (: I actually think that Boots is going to or has already discontinued the Original Beauty Formula line, which that toner is from.

The toner is not available in *that* packaging anymore but rather relabeled under their Botanics line. It smells the same and I believe has the same ingredients. I just buy a bottle and dump it in the fancy one.

Good to see the Mary Kay samples making their way to new homes. Someone I know gave me the kit they used to sell the stuff because they were no longer in the business. A lot of the shades of powder were too light/dark for my skin.

I would be interested in another round. Still lots of stuff I couldn't bag up for the box(es) I had needing a new home!

I just emailed Lindabelle and update, but I will post one here as well.
I went to ship the box today and I had no idea it would cost over $80 to ship. Perhaps I am naive and out of the postal system, but wow.
The postal worker told me the flat rate did not apply outside of the United States.
I will be able to send the box after my next payday at the end of the month - probably the 3rd as Canada Day on the 1st means everything is closed Sunday AND Monday. The only other option for me is to split it into 2 boxes for $50.

Sorry again for the delay.

I've just emailed MissLaurieMarie to let her know that I wouldn't expect anyone to pay that amount of money for shipping. It wouldn't be fair. I suggested that she sends the box back to Fortworthgal and I will remove myself from the list. Can't say I'm not disappointed but I have enjoyed watching the beauty box's progress and seeing what everyone has picked. It was swell of you to let me participate in the first place.

Wow, $80!?!?!

I can't ask someone to pay that much to ship the box, and Lord only knows what it would cost LindaBelle to ship it back to the US. On the other hand, I hate to disappoint anyone.

What's the general consensus?
A. End the round, LaurieMarie ships the box to me, and we do sign-ups for a round 3.
B. Everyone chip in somehow, and we ship to LindaBelle & then back to the US.

[MissLaurieMarie]

I would really hate for Lindabelle to miss out on the box, especially since she she was/is so excited to get it.
I don't mind paying the full cost (I just had to wait to get paid) or even splitting the boxes into 2 separate shipments, which would break down the cost to $50, but one box would probably lag behind the other.

In other news, I really do not like Canada Post! Maybe if I ship it UPS it will be a different price? Let me do some research and come back.

If there is a round 3, I'd love to join if it's after the first week in August (summer courses for II start on Monday and I cannot commit during a time crunch for me).
