Yay, I finally got dh to sign me up

I also made another order to get L'Chaim, the last GWP before the club starts, lol, and also because dd2years got a hold of my super serum, and squirted nearly all of it out! (There wasn't that much left, but now it is desperate, lol).

I love surprising you...it's part of why I didn't mind describing L'Chaim. I'm guessing it was a bit of a shocker to see it when it got there.
Yes..tricks up my sleeve. Thank you to everyone who's been adventurous enough to sign up for it. I think we're going to have fun!

I think L'Chaim is gorgeous and want to save it for special occasions - unless it's going to become part of your collection of goodness that's full-time fun. I'm debating buying into the Mystery Adventure Club. I've only been a SN cutomer *cough* addict a short while but was pondering... How often are GWP non-eyeshadows? Oh and off topic - I just received Polished Pink and Precious. Everyone who loves Precious - I agree! I think Polished Pink must be delicious on pretty much everyone and will order another tube in a couple weeks/months.

Not very often but occassionally- there were at least 5 GWP lip colors (peace, joy, happiness, lola, rosie- peace was added permanently ) and the cream blushes made their debut as GWP before they were made permanent. Pretty much when the mood strikes Karen- i think usually when it's not an eyeshadow, it's a sneak peek into her mad scientist laboratory and whatever she happens to be playing with at the time. Most of my fav. eyeshadows are GWP colors (riddle, tailfeather, gilded). The ever-so-popular shade vineyard was a GWP color. Pretty much, the surprises are almost always pleasant.
A few of us are so "hard core" that the mystery adventure club is a fun way for us to keep getting new and beautiful things because...well... we already have everything else.

I loves me some colors...speaking of which- i intend to share the love...check the swap folder peeps!

I love eyeshadows, but something new like cream blushes or whatever would also be super cool. I just can't wait, lol. The only thing is, we will probably have seen swatches of everything before we end up getting our parcels (not that I mind

)

You crack me up...
Yes, what Sam said. We do mostly shadows, but every once in a while it's nice to mix things up a bit. The first GWP EVER was a sugar scrub.

Thanks for the replies. Now I must ponder... Do I want to keep placing little orders or order the Mystery Adventure Club? Or a combo of both? I just got a full-time job and can finally buy more treats than occasional bitsy orders (first time in a while - YAY!). I have four lip colors and love ALL! Since I ordered Rare Berry (and then three others), I've hardly opened another lippie and I'm a lippie gal.

You have to pay customs? I didn't know that...I thought the $ box was for insurance purposes so I've always estimated on the high side. Now I know to write down the low side.
