So I know this topic has been done before, but I feel like it's time for another round. (if there is another more active thread, let me know...I did a google search and didn't come up with anything because I wasn't sure what search terms I should use!)
What packages (what and from where) are you currently waiting by the mail box for???
I have on the way:
Ice Elements (2 orders)...Full size 2MM Exfoliating gel in one (HAD to have it after I received my free samples!), and the "Try Me" Kit holiday special for Oily Skin in the other (only 6.95 plus shipping, it's originally 24.95!).
Orbis Deodorant and lip balm
2 Sephora orders (thanks to the FF discount and a gift card that covered both orders)
In one order, I've got:
Blinc Kiss Me mascara
Jonathan Dirt texturizing paste
Caudalie Beauty Elixir (1oz)
Sephora Eyebrow palette
And in the other:
Frederic Fekkai Shimmer spray (It's a limited edition and I got the last bottle from Victoria's Secret...I LOVE it!!!)
Laura Mercier lipstick in Discretion (inspired by the "best nude lipstick" thread 
Samples of the Acne Serum from the Best Bath Store
Normally I never have had these many orders all at once, but since I'm leaving in a few short weeks to head back to my parents house, the sample sizes will be "airline approved" in my little baggie in my carry-on. Plus, a few of the items are replacements for similar products I'm out of, or ready to give up for a new brand.
What are YOU waiting for? I love reading what everyone else is anxiously awaiting!

Sometimes I order so many things I forget what I should be expecting 
I ordered 6 perfumes from Strawberrynet, UGG mineral samples, lots of perfume and strange Asian brand samples from SASA, A-Squirrel makeup brushes, lots of DIY powders, and the Ice Elements Try Me packs..... I also have a bunch of products like glutathione, Anastacia of Beverly Hills tweezers and Antonia's Flowers perfume samples that have been sitting at a friend's house for months.
I am also expecting an early Christmas present from the bf... I am forcing him to go to the La Mer counter to buy me their setting powder 
I hope this will keep me somewhat satisfied until the new year passes.. otherwise I should declare bankruptcy now for my own sake. |

miranets have you tried the Cle de Peau loose powder yet? If so how would you compare it to the La Mer one. I am very happy with the CdP one except for the color. It is okay but I think that I would prefer something translucent or very light ivory. |

New bottle of SSC Rulinea FX Serum, ran out and must have more.
The PSF Holiday Special.
The Lumiere MMU sale.
2 new pair of shoes from the Amazon.com sale. (does that count
Ardell Lash Serum and frownies from Drugstore.com.
TCA and CP serums.
I have ordered all the above, but still have to decide on BQ or NuFace. I had bid on a BQ a few weeks ago and thought I won, but I didn't 
Can't afford both really, can't justify it anyway with Christmas coming up. |

Theresa, I haven't had a chance to try the CdP yet - want to save it for a special occasion. But as far as colour goes, the La Mer powder in Translucent is actually a more ivory/shell/off white shade, not pink like the CdP, and has light-medium coverage with slight shimmers. The La Mer powder was simply amazing! I was not really taken on the marketing hype of "aero space technology which makes the powder float on skin", but it is really finely milled and gives skin this amazing glow.
When the SA applied the powder, I thought my skin was ghostly white, but after it settled and absorbed on top of MMU it looked really good. My bf's mum actually started touching my face when she saw me because apparently I looked really "glowly". I didn't experience any irritation with the powder either, unlike with the Caron.
CdP also does an "Enhancing" powder in various shades, which may be something else I will try... Not sure if you had a chance to try that when you were at the department store. |

Alas...I must keep adding to my "waiting" list.
STILL waiting for my Best Bath Store samples...getting a little annoyed.  I ordered over 2 weeks ago.
Anyway...to add:
Sample of Serge Lutens Arabie from a truly kick a** seller from ebay (can't WAIT!)
I Feel Pretty BHA/AHA (2% BHA, 4% AHA)
Four perfume oil samples from Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab (these will be awhile, probably a month or more, they take quite a bit of time in shipping, but I knew that to begin with).
100% Pure (brand) Eucalyptus Cleanser. The strange thing is, it is no longer listed on the website (I got it from Bath and Body Works). I'm hoping they are sending me the right cleanser. It took them over a week to even ship it out (even though I was told it would take 2 business days to process)...when I search by the item number in my invoice, it comes up as "product not found" so either I got the last one, or they are sending me the wrong cleanser and took it off the website. Luckily I can return it if they send the wrong one, then I'll just order it from the actual brand website. |

ParisTroika-Strange your BestBathStore items are taking so long, I got my order like 3 days after ordering. I also ordered over the phone, maybe that had something to do with the speedy shipping?
On a side note-I saw on your list that you ordered Jonathan Dirt Paste, I got this stuff about a month ago-I LOVE IT! It works really well to make your hair manageable and slightly shiny. Exactly like the day after washing. The smell is so nice too! FYI I have very fine hair but its really thick with a slight wave to it. |

OMG I love the Dirt paste...it's a little thicker (okay ALOT thicker) than I anticipated but it makes my hair look fab and keeps the frizzies away like never before.
I love it. I never thought "messy" hair could look so good...messy in a good way!
As for my Best Bath samples...I'm hoping they roll in sometime this week...if not, I'll contact them and see what's up. |
