I received my gumball delivery consisting of a sugar cube scrub and 4 surprise me, my sugar scrub cube smells heavenly. My surprise gumblaas were a Lucky eyeshadow. Ashley lippie, Sherry lippie, whick I always wanted to try, and Decadent lippie which is my moms favorite. So I made out pretty good.

This last order I made was for a friend of mine in MO (we're going there this weekend so I'll just take it to her, I had a couple things in that order for myself.) I had requested Ashley as one of my surprise gumballs and got it! My friend is going to love it, since she sticks to light pinks. I got her a few other lippies I thought she'd like, plus the Strawberries and Champagne blush. I got one of those for myself too and OMG I love it!!! Wonderful blush is so lovely! I love the golden color and it blends so easily! Oh, in the previous order I had gotten Sparkle as a surprise gumball and I'm kicking myself for not getting it earlier. Now I can wear all the other lippies that are too dark. It lightens them and adds a beautiful sparkly shine. Yesterday I had on Skinny Dip topped with Sparkle and I made a perfect nude lippie. :D This order I had gotten the sugar scrub cube also. I haven't used it yet, but it smells so heavenly!

Is everyone else in love with the gumballs too? I find them so exciting. But it's so tempting to put in an order everytime there is something new!

I just recieved the serums, sugar cube scrub and the shave bar thingy. Can't comment on the serums or the scrub just yet but i will say the shave bar is def. not for me. For some reason i find any kind of bar really drying on my skin. However it did give a good shave. I'm probably not the best judge of anything shaving related considering i use shower gel when shaving my legs. :oops:

Also have finally come to the conclusion that the vitamin c powder is just not happening for me. Mostly because i'm too lazy to use it consistantly. But i didn't notice much of a change when i did use it.

And... I'm so so so so glad the Orange Cream Sugar scrub made it into the product line-up. I'm in love with it!

I am sooo over the moon with my latest order!

I got Cherry Blossom eyeshadow and Flamingo eyeshadow for gumballs. Flamingo is extraordinary, and I've no idea how to use it. It looks a lot like Tart blush. Cherry Blossom, though, is the most delicate, fragile little whisp of a colour. Barely baby pink with the most adorable delicate little blue sparkles. I was looking at it up close swatched on my hand and its mesmerizing. I'd love to buy more of this, or see colours with this kind of delicate colour blend. It's like a little secret. You don't see it across the room but up close, it's precious.

Oh, and speaking of Precious lippy - *thud* faints happy! Off the scale, Karen, sooo beautiful it's off the scale. For my money, your best lippy so far.

ooh, cherry blossom does sound special... wonder if I can request for it too?

I received Sherry and gidget as surprises... although Sherry is too orangy for my skin, gidget was gorgeous... and so surprising since I've always thought that reddish eyeshadows would make me look like a vampire :P

We ran out! They were fun while they lasted, but they were gone really quick.
