Still no sign of my package :-(
You'll get it soon! Don't worry!!!!! I'm so impatient to get mine!!!! I want to be spoiled, damn it, I'm suffering with my exams!!!! philogene, don't you worry!
Girl, where is the website on "Where's My Frenchfry" or fries. The title of your book reminds me of Chelsea Handler's titles and Candace Bushnell's as well. Very clever. I hope all is working out for you. I know you're busy, but was happy to see that you quoted on your FB page that things are going your way. Or at least they're looking up. I've been up since 5:30 this morning because my job is a hop, skip and a jump to BFE and the traffic here is L.A. big time!! I am not a morning person. I hate it. It makes me want to just rip everyone's head off!! : )) smiling in case the FBI, CIA, THE KGB, and goodness knows who may read this!! Now I want you to email me about how your plans are going on about your house. I'm sure you're beyond busy, but give me a holler!! I've been wondering how you've been doing emotionally since everything. Hope all is well. Everyone is wishing you the best. You're the strong one and you always will be. Remember that. Okay, about to pass out... have to get up soooooooo early......YUCK!!!!! mornings should be banned!!! I'm more of a night person and like to get up around 10 am or so, but not when you work and go to school. It's my way of suffering to wealth!! ha!! Well, ya gotta do what ya gotta do!! w/b girlie!! my prayers are with you!!
I received two gifts today : one for agnes59 my mother and one for me. I got the Vapour organic beauty lipstick in Desire (nice pinky color) and the Ganache for Lips in Lemon Mousse! I love lip products so I consider I've been spoiled! My mom got the Dr Dima Cosminology anti-oxydant cream and I explained to her what it was about and she was pretty excited! Also, it cost 88$ and she got it for free!!!!But I'd like to know if these were the February points me and my mom redeemed or the ones that came later! If so, will we get the packages for the March points?
Hey metisse1 I'm so happy you got your package !!!!!I still haven't got mine to say I'm sad is an understatement, january the 10th was a long time ago !!! :-( thanks for your lovely words you are always so sweetie and I thank you for that :) enjoy your goodies lovely x x x
Philogene: there used to be a link on the right hand side of the page that said something like "inquire about points packages" or something like that. I didn't look to see if it's still there, but you could try e-mailing through there? I think Eleni is the one that answers those e-mails and maybe could help you out. I'm still waiting for one from February and hoping it gets here sometime soon. :)

it's under "contact us" > "makeup points questions"

Philogene, I'm so sad for you!!!! I'm still hoping you do get something!!! I don't know if they're also going to ship my March package! What I just got was for January 31rst. My mom's one was her March package, as she only started redeeming her points that month.
Hi rubysbeauty i have sent 3 emails in total to the "contact us" > "makeup points questions" the last one was answered by Eleni 9 days ago she said she would look into it and get back to me and that was the last I heard. :-(
Awww metisse1 you are sweet :-) I'm hoping I still get my package too LOL I need cheering up and this package would certainly do that :-)
I cashed in my 250 points a few months ago, and guess what arrived in my mailbox yesterday? The large palette from ELF! I was so thrilled! Sooo many colours to choose from...I also got a little packet of makeup remover wipes - perfect for travel! I agree with lilychemgirl, I'm not a fan of synthetics and parabens either, it's unfortunate they end up in so many makeup lines...although I am happy that ELF doesn't test on animals. Regardless, I'm still sporting a nice blend of coppers and browns on my eyes today, one of the bronzers and a nice light pink lip gloss. Fabulous gift! (I just don't know where I'm going to store it...)

I got my package from February this morning, after I had already put my make-up on. Typical. So, had to wash, naturally, to try it all at once. :D I got the honey heel glaze, which I will test this evening after a long foot bath. I really hoped I would get it, and am so happy! Thank you! It smells like ginger bread/cookies you know the spongy type of ginger cookies? I also got a Lorac eye shadow, Baked Matte Satin Eye Shadow in Drama. It is a gorgeous, satiny grey. Just the kind of shade of grey that I did not have in my collection but have been coveting for some time. It is not overly pigmented, a light wash is perfect for everyday and more makes it more intense, dark grey. So a very versatile colour. It is also the perfect colour for my bluish/grey eyes.I got a tarte eye liner, emphasEyes high definition eye pencil in black. It is a click pencil, with a fine point, that goes on a soft and creamy black and seems to stay put so far. Reminds me of my loved Blacktrack Fluidline in a way, but in a convenient stick format perfect for the purse. Then, I got Urban Decay's Heavy Metal Glitter Eyeliner in Midnight cowboy. It is pure gold glitter suspended in a clear liquid that makes them stick. The applicator is a thin brush, so it is easy to just draw a thin line on top of the thinnest of eye liner lines. Not a product I will perhaps use that often, seeing as I seldom have an occasion to dress up my eyes with glitter and all that jazz, but lovely non the less and definitely a nice thing to have if you like glitter. Finally, the lovely hand written card, of course. All in all, a very, very, wonderful haul well worth the long wait. Thank you!
i got my 250 package today! I feel so spoiled. I also got the honey heel glaze. It smells so good and my feet are getting some much needed tlc today. It came with a nifty little fan brush which is going to be used on my face instead as it is the softest brush I've ever felt.I also got the lorac eyeshadow, (which is so much better than my mac mineralize shadows) a tarte eyeliner and an Urban decay glitter eyeliner which i had to try on straight away. I love this. Thanks meg!
I finally received my package!! Mel sent me Sprayology which is a spray to reduce stress, she knew I have exams soon! Thanks MeGXxx

Ok so I traded in 250 points on the 10th of January I received a packaged from Meg this morning and it was sent on the 10th of May, I received the large palette from ELF and it was completely ruined I can't salvage anything from it at all some of the black plastic has been smashed off and all the makeup was smashed to bits and its in the bin, and I'm not surprised as sending something like this to the UK without Fragile written on it it wasn't going to survive. To say I'm pissed after waiting 4 months and 11 days to get this is an understatement. I feel sorry that Meg has wasted her money sending me it as it cost her $17 !!! I could have cried when I opened the package :-(

love your vid! :)

I'm so sorry Sharon, I know that must be so disappointing after such a long wait! I wasn't able to salvage my ELF palette either, too much of the broken powder had gotten all over and into everything and it was just making a huge mess, and it had only travelled within the US!
oh sharon that is sad :( maybe you need to go treat yourself to something to make up for it. :( hugs

Ohhh I love false eyelashes! I haven't gotten my gifts yet...I know it will something great

Thanks Ref26 and dandy you guys are so sweet xxx
i wonder why the main posts are so inconsistent these days.. used to be one every day now not so much..

It kind of seems to me that the international/non-US people get their stuff first when there is a big mailing? Maybe not, but that's what it seems like. I'm still waiting for my 250 point package from February.

Sharon, I'm sorry for this. There have been many Megheads that have had the same problem with their ELF palette, but at least none of them got it with a 2 month delay! We will send you a replacement gift this week!
Rubysbeauty, all points that were turned in in February have definitely been sent, so you should have received your package by now.
I can see how it might seem that international members get their packages sooner, especially as I seem to have been the first to receive their package from the 12th shipment. In all honesty, I often get packages from America or China before I receive those sent within my own country. The reason for this is that the number of distribution centers international mail has to travel through before ending up at the local post office is far less than if being sent within my own country. When mail enters NZ and is cleared by customs (which is much quicker for those marked gift as vs those not) it's sorted for the next center and placed on a truck and sent (usually over night) to my local distribution center (which happens to be just one hop from where international mail comes in, so it doesn't have to pass through any other centers between there and here). From there, they sort it (usually that morning so it's ready for that days delivery) and send it to the local post office for actual delivery. There's a lot more steps in the process for something coming from another town, and even more if it comes from the South Island. I imagine that this could be said to be the same or very similar for many other countries.
I am holding out for the 250 point prize..only have 127, lol, and I joined the site in the summer. But I often sadly forget about coming here, and then I'll get an email jogging my memory, but I've been so busy lately. Maybe by sometime this summer I'll have enough points? lol...I don't know how you all get so many points so fast! :)

so does everyone redeem their points at 250? I am really curious as well to see what people got at 50 and 150 points.
@tonilynngray - Yes, many ladies do redeem at 250. You get more product the higher amount you redeem. There's another thread on the forum that's titled "What did you get with your makeup points." It's like 15+ pages long but there are a few more people who talked about what they received when they redeemed the lower point amounts. Here's the link:

Oh Eleni that's so nice of you, thank you so much, I'll look forward to getting that package. You've really made my week :-) x x
All's well that ends well!!! I'm so happy for you philogene!!! Can't wait to receive my March package!
Hi girls, has anyone received any april packages yet? :) What's the average waiting time?
Thanks metisse1 :-) I'm so happy I can't wait to get it !!!! Meg and Eleni are so sweet !!!!!
@philogene sent you a message. Please check your guestbook.
ooh February has been sent out, I should get mine any day now. I AM SO EXCITED! The anticipation is killing me
Wow it is almost 3 months of a 250 points and my 1st one ..... can't help but be a tad sad! Guess I got missed on this one. I even offered to pay for it. It was before the news of shipping to be PP and I have no issues to pay for it. :-(
@pinkwheels: I'm waiting for my february package also, and I'm in the U.S. I hope we both get our soon!!

I haven't gotten my 250 points February package from 2/01/10 either, RubysBeauty. I have about 3 other submissions since then that I haven't gotten, but that was the earliest of them. I'm in the U.S., too. I'm not complaining; I'm just putting it out there so others who haven't received theirs have the peace of mind knowing that they're not alone!
I received my 250pts package today :) I'm ecstatic!I received the sprayology stress relief spray and alofe anti ageing eye gel (totalling about $93!!!!! O_O)---- both EXACTLY what i need during exam period-- which is right now!.. i can relief stress and rid my under eye bags from sleepless nights yay!! Meg, Eleni and co. Thank you so much!!! :):) xoxo

I can't wait to get mine!!
Yeah I'm waiting since the beginning of March for my 250 point prize and my other one from around the middle of April I think.... But I'm not complaining, I'll just wait. I just hope they get to me before August when I move!
@rubysbeauty ..I lost hope after reading how many have not gotten packages. I'm glad you are hanging in there :-) This was my 1st one and I took the advise of holding out to 250 for all the wonderful items at 250 and not the other points. I sure do enjoy reading and check out all the new items here.
My package came today! I submitted my 250 points in February, they were mailed on 5/28/10, and I received them 6/1/10. I got Napoleon Perdis Protege Limited Edition Lipgloss in a gorgeous corally-nude color. It has a brush applicator tip (my favorite) and has a minty smell. I can't wait to use it, as lipgloss is my all-time favorite beauty item to collect. I also got Lorac Baked matte Satin Eye Shadow in Drama, a dark charcoal gray color, totally something I would use. Urban Decay Heavy Metal Glitter eyeliner in Midnight Cowboy, has gold glitter and looks really pretty in the tube (haven't tried it yet). And a Tarte EmphasEyes High Definition Eye Pencil in black. I'm really excited to see how nice this eyeliner will be. :) Oh, and a little cute note from Meg. Thanks Meg & Eleni! :)

Wow! You're so lucky rubysbeauty!!! I'd love to get the same things you got, I want to look so good in June after the exams!
Woot! Got my package!!! And it was a lot... o.o I got Napoleon Perdis lip gloss in Protege (a coral color), Ganache for Lips in Lemon Mousse, Gabriel Organics Marine Lip Treatment, a bar of soap that is Tea Tree Mint, and thickening shampoo! I'm so surprised at how much stuff I got!!! And I have to say that getting the lip treatment is a GODSEND!!! The only thing I raised my eyebrows at was the thickening shampoo because my hair is already thicker then I can manage HAHA! I love you and thank you, Meg & staff!!!!!! <3
Great stuff you guys! Lisa and Heartze enjoy, I am envious.Hugs!!
oooh great stuff! cant wait for my april package!!
who loves makeup? me me ME!
YAY! I checked the mail today, and got my Meg's Makeup package. (: I ordered it back in February, and got it today - Tuesday, June 1st. Good things come to those who wait! I believe it was the Even Cooler package, but I am not sure. Anyways, I got three wonderful items: -Plump N' Thick Thickening Shampoo - Nick Chavez, Beverly Hills (The 8 oz bottle is $20 on there website, but I got a 2 oz) -Baked Matte Satin Eye Shadow in Drama - Lorac (website says $22) -Lip Veil - Napolean Perdis (website says $20) [I already put the color on and I LOVEEE it. It's so smooth, smells good, and gives the perfect amount of color/shine for a normal day.] Thank you so much for the lovely package. I have never even though about owning makeup this nice. It's amazing, thanks!
Let's all enjoy the Summer sunshine!
