Ooh, Styyna, I am a bit jealous of your "problem"!

But, happy to hear you found a trouble-free, quick solution and made lots of people happy.

BTW if you get fresh samples, it is true lots of people sell and buy them on the Ebay. I have bought lots and lots, for example. If you won´t let them cumulate but put on auctions as soon as you have something worth $ 10, say, it wolud make many buyers happy.

Of course, there´s the bother of shipping etc etc, and maybe (lucky you?) you just don´t need the money!! It would be a way to make a quick buck and then buy something you really want / need with the money though.
  • Complexion: NC 15 winter, NC 20 summer. Still oily.
  • Eyes: Blue
  • Hair: Very fine + wavy / curly. Would naturally be light or medium blonde - I think! Who knows?

I know I'm late to the game but I took my samples and put them in baskets in the 2 ladies rooms at work.  I did this anonymously but someone guessed it was me and nicknamed me "Bathroom Santa".  The ladies loved this and snapped them up...
