@Autumn- you weren't the only one to pick free shadows instead of free lippies. There were quite a few that did that.

I don't have a compelling reason to say "You MUST pick free lippies for the sale"- so I figured we'd just go with the flow, and give people the freebies they requested. The only reason we did the free lippies is because it seemed like fun....they are a bit more difficult to make than eye shadows, so we can't do it every day, and I like to keep things as steady, consistent and predictable as we can. That just makes life a little easier for everyone. But, once in a while it's fun to switch things up a bit, so that's why we did it.

I confused, sorry! :D Is there one gwp vegan e/s that everyone gets for under 20? If you spend over twenty do you get the e/s and the lippie? Also, do you think the lippie is clear (like a lip balm) with a hint of sparkle because it doesn't have any dyes?
On edit...did it say what kinds of things were in the sacks of stuff? Also anyone know how much they were, I'm trying to get my cart together now! ;)

I can't answer your other questions, but the grab bag was 75 cents, & I think the lippie will be colored (using mineral colors), but it sounds like it will apply pretty sheerly.

As far as I know the GWPs are lip products for today. However, if you would rather have an eyeshadow, put a note in your order and she would probably send the eyeshadow GWP for the days after the sale. I know it will not be a lip product and an eyeshadow both. The lip products are not clear, but lightly tinted. As for dyes, my bet is that she went dye free, but I cannot confirm that.

The color is sheer enough that I am confident letting my 12 yo wear it.

Sacks of stuff were listed to be 2-4 items with one likely to be a full size. Items are very similar to what the Surprise ME Gumballs have been over the last few months. The items are likely not vegan, so if you prefer vegan products, it might not be a good choice for you.

Awesome! How fun! I'm sure my 12 yr old will steal it from me! I'm getting her her own sparkle too, which she loves of mine. ;)

Just wondering if the brush set (ultimate?) shown in the video is included in the sale?

Jen or Karen,

how soft is the white flat top kabuki? After trying all the ultimate line brushes, my skin is a little spoiled. Are the bristles rough in comparison? I am trying to convince myself that I don't need more brushes ( or do I?) :lol:
