I looove this idea too...but the thing with the GWP's is that they're very "of the moment", and because I'm not charging anything for them, I feel very liberated, and really use it as a chance to play and try some different things. That and it feels very very weird/wrong to charge someone for a gift. On the other hand, there are quite a few of you who just don't need anything else.

I'm pondering it...

I don't care quite as much about getting "every single color" - though I know that's the original purpose of this thread - I just think an e/s of the month club would be super cool.

I think the liberation is why they're all so "preeeeeeetty!!! :mrgreen: " (i feel like i should be able to voice actualize the pronunciation of that for full effect. lol) and end up being my favorites. I like not knowing what they are and I always fall head over heels for how unique and different they are- which is why i can't stand when i miss even one. lol


still working on that whole 12-step program thing... no cure for the SN crack addiction yet... :oops:

It could be sent out at the end of the month, i.e. as you make them up you just add them to a pile for the monthly club members, and then post them out at the end of the month, that way you wouldn't have to plan ahead... that would be such a fun idea! I would totally join (depending on how much it cost to join)! I love surprises even more than I love eyeshadows, lol!

It would also be cool if you did options so you could get one or two eyeshadows per month instead of the full 4, as that might make it a bit more affordable for those of us who love eyeshadows (and surprises!!!) and might not be able to afford the full 4 every month.

So I think I have it figured out...my big concern was the "what ifs"- what if we don't have 4 gwp's or if you already have ordered within that month so you already have one- or some other strange thing I failed to plan for. So, the plan (at 3:00 am) is do the club, and if anything strange happens that month to give you a coupon code, or figure out some other way to square it with you. That's the only way it can really work for everyone...I think.

Does that sound good??? I'm thinking we'll call it the VIP Mystery Adventure Club- with an emphasis on the Adventure part. Stay tuned- there's a lot of site coding that needs to be done first, but I'm excited for it!

I'm new to SN (just placed my first order two days ago) but this sounds really fun! I'd very likely join because it's super fun to get makeup surprises and from what I've gathered about your company in the past week or two I'm sure you'd make it really affordable!

This is such a great idea, I would totally join the club!! :D
Another company (TSS) is having something similar, a duo of the month club, they charge about $100 per year. (those colors is not availible on the site)
It is sooo great to get surprise colors in the mail every month.
