It's so fun seeing you open your gifts a little at a time. It's Christmas every day at make up talk!

My favorite part was the outside of the box and how the card was embedded into it!! However I can't show that so I'll move on.

At first I thought you had sent me a pair of earrings which totally caught me off guard. I thought you may have made a mistake when wrapping. Lol! Soon enough I realized they were just apart of the beautiful little ribbon holding a lovely new bottle in its wrapping. When I opened it I felt a pure and simple joy. Not because I got a gift but rather because someone put a lot of thought and effort into it all. Thank you.
You're so bad! Lol. I should send you some polish named after coal! You're too sweet Donna. I truly appreciate the gift and especially the card. I'll turn a blind eye and pretend I don't know how much you spent but you really shouldn't have.
frown.gif


Thank you again from the bottom of my heart. I never would have imagined I'd become apart of such a loving and supportive community.

I don't even know which to start with. I'm especially curious about the bottom three of the Nails Inc. When I saw the Butter London I was instantly reminded of wine. Love the color hate the taste. So I bought some bourbon whiskey to go with my mani night (Day off yay!).

You're killing me Donna. <3

I wish I had participated now. I feel so bad not having even been apart of this and receiving something. I tried posting here earlier but there was no button to quote and no place to reply. It turns out the mobile version doesn't show you the pop-up that tells you this is part of a group you need to join to be able to post in.

Thank you again Donna. I know where you live now. I will have my gift revenge!

The Butter London was from an ipsy bag or some such.  I didn't buy it special...I just thought you'd like it!   You remind me of my nephew and I've developed a soft spot for you because you're totally adorable lol.  Merry Christmas, Sweetie!

However, tracking not only shows that it has NOT been delivered but it stopped updating the moment it left my town. I went to the Post Office that I delivered the package from & was told to call Consumer Affairs. When I called I was told that I can file a claim in 30 days. Hello, I don't want to file a claim I want my box!!! I'm really hoping that this is all a mistake and the box will get delivered soon. So now I'm wondering if I should put together another box for my Santee? I would feel horrible if the package was "lost" & she has nothing to open for Christmas.

What do you guys suggest?
My Local Post Office is staffed by ZOMBIES. Please don't stress about the tracking not being updated - for some of the workers, handing them a scanner is like using a laser pointer with a cat on catnip.   I get packages all the time that show statuses like: "Package Not Found","Invalid Tracking Number", "Left Sorting Facility, NJ (I live in Atlanta), and "Sacrificed to Chthulu" when the package is sitting on the kitchen table opened.    

If memory serves on Saturday we were still climbing out of all the flight delays and then we were hit with the ugly weather that people all over the country are dealing with. The USPS uses commercial flights to send mail so they would be affected by the weather and delays as well.   

By the way, if you read their ridiculous terms, they don't actually guarantee that Priority Mail will arrive in 2-3 days.  

MAIL CLASS DELIVERY STANDARD CONTACT CUSTOMER SERVICE AFTER: First-Class Mail®
2 - 3 days (not guaranteed)
5 or more Days from the date of mailing Priority Mail®
1, 2, or 3 days (not guaranteed)
5 or more Days from the date of mailing Priority Mail Expressâ„¢
1 - 2 days (guaranteed) Guaranteed Delivery Date/Time Missed Standard Postâ„¢
2 - 8 days (not guaranteed)
14 or more Days from the date of mailing
Edited to add:  Oh and if the package is lost, you can file a claim and it's like giving your Santee a $50.00 Gift Certificate since all priority mail comes with $50 insurance.

I just realized that most of my purchases from Sephora have come UPS Ground - and they are here in just a couple of days.   Thank you for letting me know that.   I am still going to go to the mall because my only interactions for the last week has been snarling at my Mail Woman, Tea with the UPS guy, Posting on Here and conversations about the news with my cats.

I had the worst morning... No alarm set, overslept a bit. And, my hair dryer blew up half-way drying my hair.

So, I opened a few more SS gifts to cheer myself up. Yay!

I love this Sephora perfect pair mini duo. What a cute color combination! Awesome.

I actually don't own any Sephora OPI really. So, I am also looking forward to trying this brand. Yay!
Your Secret Santa loves you lol!  I'm sorry you had such a bad morning but a little present makes everything better!

 
I haven't had any issues with things being lost but I've noticed in the last week that some packages have been just a day late...either ones I'm sending or receiving.  I'm putting that down to holiday volume.  My post office is like the best in the world...it pays to live in a tiny town, I guess.

 
The Butter London was from an ipsy bag or some such.  I didn't buy it special...I just thought you'd like it!   You remind me of my nephew and I've developed a soft spot for you because you're totally adorable lol.  Merry Christmas, Sweetie!
Not adorable. Anything but that. D: I have no idea what an ipsy bag is so I'll assume it was a great deal and the BL was just a dupe of one you already had. It makes me feel better so there. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I'll quit fussing and just accept. Thank you Donna.
 
@Animezing Im sorry to hear your having trouble with the shipping, hopefully its moving along and will get safely to your SS. I know just recently I shipped out priority through USPS and it was stuck in one place almost 2 weeks so I had to call around and track the phone number down to the sorting facility. Eventually it arrived safely to the destination but it does make it frustrating. I also have pretty good experience with UPS so I try to use them as often as possible personally.

Blissful is sooo pretty, you're going to love it! It's a really neutral pale pink/nude when it's warm.

I was so excited to see that you wanted thermals, because I had been wanting to try them also!

And since it was flat rate shipping, it only made sense to buy a bunch...right?

We haven't had any yet and I'm already over it.  I hate winter.  Thank God my father had the foresight to move us the hell out of Newfoundland.  I'd never leave the house and be all reclusive sitting by the stove in 5 cardigans and a blanket.

I hate the cold, but love the snow. It is still in the upper 20's here.
