How often do you change GWP?

Post by egerandi » Thu Apr 16, 2009 4:49 am

I just got my package and panicked when I realized that even though I thought I added gumball to my cart, somehow I didn't end up purchasing it. My oily skin is crying for a good matting serum, and would love to try Karen's concoction. As I already have Pink Twink, I'm wondering if it's worth waiting for a new gwp, or should I just grab a gumball now while I still have a chance and make a girlfriend happy with the second pot of this gorgeous warmish pink?

I'm obviously late to this, but is the GWP FS or sample? I'm planning to order next week and I want Pink Twink 8-) , so I want to know if it'll still be available then too!

I try to change them every Thursday...but I'm debating about it this week. I have a few things coming in, and I like to add things to the site in groups- so I may hold off on it until next week.

I'm committed to doing a very loooong test with the oil control serum- I put quite a few on the site, and will happily make more. I really want to be sure it works- so the bigger the group that orders it the better!

Usually the GWP's are a 3-gram jar- so a little bit smaller than a full size eye shadow, but waaay bigger than a sample.

Would it be an idea that if someone orders and doesn't want the GWP, perhaps they already have one from an immediately recent order, could a totally random 'gumball' be offered as an alternative? I think pretty much everyone loved the gumballs. So if, now and then someone requests an alternative GWP - if, indeed, that would be permissible and not too awkward - you could have a wee box of retiree products and surprises etc in sample or tiny size and chuck in one of those instead. It could be fun, and would be a low turnover probably so it'd be easier than managing a big gumball supply which people ordered large quantities of. 8-)

Thanks! I'll wait for the next GWP then (oh, more new stuff?) and will make sure to get the gumball serum next time I order. Silly me.

When should the oil control serum be applied? Morning? Night?
