Yay!!! I received my package today as well. It's my 250 points package that redeemed on 3/3/2010. It was shipped on 28/5/2010 and I received it today. Since I'm International, I can't believe it took less than a week to get here! Okay, so here what I got from Meg (they're all from Tinibeauty): double-ended mascara and eyeliner in blue velvet, eye coridal cream shadow tint and base in champagne and double-ended lip stain and gloss in rum runner. I haven't tried them yet but I'm super excited to receive these goodies! THANK YOU AGAIN, MEG & ELENI <3
I got a package today! However, I don't know if it's for my mom or me, as I redeem points to the same name and address for both of us!!!! Anyway, here's what's in the package: the eyetini double-ended mascara and eyeliner in Black Magic, the Eyetini eye cordial cream shadow and base in Ambrosia (gorgeous bronzey-plum color) and the Liptini Double-ended lip stain and gloss in Rum Runner! I love these colors, and I now think this package was for me, as I mentioned in my profile that I was a fan of eyeshadows, which my mother isn't. Can't wait to see what she gets! She loved the Dr Dima cream she got!!!!
@pinkwheels still nothing. My hubby and the mailman are wondering what's up with me?! All day I am asking "is it here yet?" My daughter said I sound like Chowder (obnoxious cartoon character) Maybe we can celebrate together soon??
Oh I'm so excited with anticipation!!! I redeemed my points 3/3/10 so hopefully mine is here soon!!! You guys receiving such wonderful things!!
I'm still waiting for mine - redeemed on 3/21 :(I am moving on June 18th, so I hope it doesn't get lost in the mail :(
Still nothing for a 250-point submission on 2/01/10 or another in early March. Congrats to everyone who's getting stuff, though!
:-(
I'm so impatient. Been waiting since April for my reward and I still cant wait to see what all my hard earned points got me. I hope it comes soon so we can have a make up points 3rd edition for all those people still dreamy eyed and stalking the mail carrier.
Eeek I got my package today!! (I checked out 250 points on the 26th of Feb) I just have to say a HUGE thank you to Meg, I can't believe the lovely things I got and the fact that she obviously put a lot of thought into what she was sending! I got a lovely hand written note which I shall now keep in my purse, a 15ml bottle of Dr Alkaitis organic eye creme to help fight dark circles (which you may know if you have seen any of my posts are a really big issue for me - without makeup i look like I have been punched) and I got a Napolean Perdis lip gloss - loving the cute little mirror on the end of it so you can check out your lips! And a Michael todd Cosmetics eyeshadow in warm honey which is a gorgeous colour!! All I can say is thank you so so much and I can't believe the thought that went into it!
I'm so glad to see people are getting their packages. It gives me an inkling of hope that my Jan redemption will be here soon.
I'm so glad that people are getting their pakages!
@linda glad with you...maybe Monday for us??? HOPING :-O
My package was waiting for me at the post office!
Included was:
*Napolean Perdis lip gloss in a gorgeous melon color.
*Tarte high definition eye pencil in black. Super super fine line, I already love it and I haven't tried it yet.
*Vapour Illusionist concealer. I cannot wait to try this
*Urban Decay liquid eyeliner in Urban Cowboy. This looks so much fun!
Thank you so much Meg and crew! These gifts were obviously specifically chosen for me because I love gloss, eyeliner, and have wretched dark circles all of which I have mentioned here loads of times. I am very grateful. ♥♥♥♥
What a great gift package King Taco!!! Let us know how the products are :)

Well another day and nothing :-( I'm sad linda and my hope is lost. If they were shipped 12 days ago it does not take that long to get to NE states or maybe it does.
@pinkwheels, nothing here either big sad face....... It does sound like it would have been fun to get a package and post about it though.
Hey ladies! I redeemed 250 points on 3/31/10, and received my very generous package, today. Every single item was a home run, so major thanks to Eleni for doing such a great job selecting items that I loved. Here's what I received:**Halakahiki Lotion by Circle of Friends. This is a very nice body lotion that smells like grape Kool Aid, sinks in quickly, and provides non-greasy skin softening and moisturising. I'd buy this.**China Glaze nail lacquer in Bad Landing, which is a clear, bright, warm red with shimmer. It's very similar to OPI's "Friar, Friar Pants On Fire", which I've worn and loved for years. This will definitely go into rotation for me, and I'd buy it.**Napoleon Perdis lipgloss in Protege, which is a highly pigmented nude, warm, corally-peach, with no shimmer. Normally, I wear lipglosses over lipstick, but this product is so pigmented and opaque, that it can stand on its own. It looks great with a nude liner, bronzer and coral blush. It has a strong peppermint scented, burning sensation when first applied that I'm not crazy about, but fortunately it disappears quickly. I'd definitely buy this, however since it's LE, I probably won't be able to. Lol! This was my favorite item in the package.**Sheer Cover MMU in Nude, which is the perfect shade for my MAC NC25 skintone. I've never heard of this brand before, but I'm really impressed. The loose mineral powder came with a horrible, stiff, scratchy brush that was unuseable, so I applied it with my Makeup Forever HD Kabuki, and it went on like a dream! This MMU is full coverage, and achieves the practically impossible feat of providing a matte yet glowy finish, without a hint of chalkiness. I think this product blows both BE and Silk Naturals out of the water, and gives Jane Iredale, my Holy Grail MMU, a real run for the money. I was shocked to discover that this foundation was rated an abysmal 2.9 on MakeupAlley, because I think it's first rate. The lasting power is excellent, and I'd buy this.**Urban Decay Heavy Metal Glitter Eyeliner in Midnight Cowboy, which is a clear liner with full on, high octane, true glitter in a beigey, champagne gold. This was the sleeper of the group for me, because never, ever in a billion years would I have chosen it for myself. Generally, I prefer neutral, matte colors on my eyes, and avoid shimmer. However, since every other item I received was such a success, I decided to give this a try. I tightlined my upper lashes in black, then applied a thin line of the glitter liner along my upper lashline, and WOW! Instant magical, happy, fairy dust, jeweled eyelids! I wore this look out to dinner, and was approached by three different women who wanted to know what I was wearing and where they could get it, so.....Hooray! I wouldn't purchase this, because I'll use it so infrequently that a tube will last me a lifetime, but I'll definitely enjoy wearing this from time to time. A million thanks to both Meg and Eleni for sending me such a generous, thoughtfully chosen selection of products! :-)
I haven't received the package that Eleni was resending me due to the very long wait and the elf palette being smashed to bits, but when I get it I'll let you all now what I got. I can't wait it's killing me to wait for it.
I got my package today from 250 points cashed out in March, and it's great! I received:-China Glaze nail color in Bad Landing, which is a shimmery reddish coral shade - I normally choose reds or pinks for my toes, so this will be perfect! Plus I've heard so many good things about China Glaze but never tried it, so I'm excited to use it.-Napolen Perdis lip glass in Protege, which is a nice coral color that will go great with my fair skin, and I love the little mirror on top. It has a nice feel when you put it on and the mint in it is very refreshing, plus it lasts a while.-Urban Decay matte eyeshadow in Shakedown. It's a brownish gray shade that will make a nice liner or base color, I think it's perfect for my eye color.-Tarte eyeliner in ballet dancers which is a bright aqua blue - I wonder if Meg or Eleni saw my post about blue and aqua being my new favorite liner color for summer - I have blue eyes so lining with a blue really makes them pop. I love this liner because it is smooth and creamy, and I think if I use a nice vanilla base shade this is going to make my eyes stand out! I wouldn't have bought this for myself but once I put it on, I love it. It's also super easy to blend for a more understated look.- Tarte Seal the Deal lipgloss - one end is a high shine clear gloss and the other end is a sealant to keep the gloss in place. It works great, it makes my lips shiney but not sticky and the sealant does help keep it on!Also an adorable note :) Thanks so much Meg and Eleni, this was a perfect package for me and I was so excited to get it! Can't wait for the next one :)

I was so excited to find a package from Meg in my mailbox today! And I was even more thrilled when I opened it and saw how stuffed with goodies it was!! I got:Halakahiki Lotion (smells awesome!) Sheer Cover MMU in Buff, plus a cute little kabuki to go with it (I hope the color works for me!)Napoleon Perdis Protege Lipgloss (gorgeous wearable shine and I like the minty tingle!)Tarte Seal the Deal, which seems to be a lipstick sealant on one side and gloss on the otherTarte lipstick in a red color that I hope I can pull off! Thanks so much Meg, you're the best! Your package made my day as usual, can't wait to give everything a full test run :)
I got a package from Meg today, and it's from my 250-point redemption on 3/04/10. I never got a package for my 2/01/10 redemption (also 250 points), but this package had a number on the outside that corresponds to my 3/4/10 redemption, so I'll just assume that my February package got lost in the mail. The package I received was mailed on 6/7/10 and contained: China Glaze nail polish in "Bad Landing" (red with shimmer), Urban Decay 0.20oz cream shadow in "Whipped" (gold), Napoloeon Perdis 0.19oz Protege Lip Glass (peach), Tarte 0.17oz "Seal the Deal" lip sealant (clear), and Tarte 1.14g eye liner in "Ballet Dancers" (teal/aqua). Everything looks so nice, and I really appreciate it!
I was soooo happy to get my gift in the mail today! For some reason It took like 4 plus months for me to get mine but I got it none the less! I think it is sooo awesome for Meg to do this! I cashed out at 150 points and i recieved: Urban Decay Heavy Metal glitter liner in Stage Diva, China GlAZE Nail Poilish in Bad Landing..i really like the color, and a lipgloss Called Protege by Napoleon. i love all three! Thanks Meg! I cant wait to cash out at 250 next!
Mine finally arrived! Yay!! I had a rough week, and this made my day after waiting so long. I cashed in 150 points on 3/21, and the package was mailed out on 6/7 (so don't lose hope if you haven't received one yet...it looks like they did go out later than 5/24 or 5/28). I received a full size bottle of Circle of Friends lotion in a yummy tropical scent (retail value $7.80), a beautiful Napoleon Perdis lip gloss in a nice vibrant coral color (my favorite summer color of this season) - it has a super glossy shine and minty flavor (retail value $25.00), and a Sheer Cover foundation in Bisque with a Baby Buki brush (retail value - unknown - the full starter kit is $29.95 online) Thank you so much!! Very fun :)
Thanks Meg!!!I had 250 got my package in today i had cashed out in early march. I got a sheercover foundation in nude and the softest kabuki brush ever...im in love. A tarte eyeliner in olympia a pretty true purple color. Urban Decay Heavy Metal Glitter liner in Midnight cowboy. a tarte seal the deal which is a lip sealant and has a supergloss on the other end. Last but not least a Napoleon protege lipgloss...beautiful....again thank u ....this made my week
I got another package today! I just got my early-March package two days ago, and today I got a package from a 250-point redemption in April. I got two of the same items I got two days ago, but I really appreciate the whole package! I got another Napoleon Perdis Protege lip glass and another China Glaze nail polish in "Bad Landing", then I got 1.5g of Sheer Cover mineral foundation in "Latte", the little Sheer Cover kabuki to go with it (which seems quite rough to me, but I haven't washed it yet), two sample packets of Juara facial moisturizer in "Sweet Black Tea & Rice" (0.14oz each), two sample packets of EOS ultra moisturizing shave cream in "Pomegranate Raspberry" (0.5oz each), and one travel size tube of Barielle Total Foot Care Cream (2.5oz). Thanks!
It sounds like all your guys gifts are awesome!! I can't wait for my April gift!!(Hope I get the China Glaze nail polish!) :D
I got my first ever package today. Thank you Meg and Eleni!! I received the travel size Barielle Total Foot Care Cream. Used it tonight, love it and putting it in my suitcase for our trip tomorrow.

Sheer Cover mineral foundation in Latte with the sheer cover little kabuki brush (trying it tomorrow) Napoleon Perdis Lip Gloss Protege (really pretty) and the China Glaze nail polish in Bad Landing.

Oh my gosh! I am sooo lucky, I have just got my second package from Meg which I cashed out on about the 26th of March. I got possibly the biggest bottle of nail varnish that I have ever seen by China Glaze in Bad Landing, Napoleon perdis lipgloss in a nude colour (cant find the name of it on the box), Urban Decay heavy metal eyeliner in Stage Diva (very glittery and a gorgeous green!), Urban Decay Matte Eyrshadow in Shakedown and soem Sheer Cover foundation in Buff - along with the cute brush that comes with it! All I can say is THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!! I am very greatful for all the lovely things and the opportunity to try out products that I can't get in the UK! :) x
I just received my march submission (50 points) :DI got a sample of EOS ultra moisturizing shave cream (awesome choice since my legs are getting distinctly cactus like), a sample of Juara Sweet Tea & Rice Facial Moisturizer which i hope will help with the weird dry spot between my eyebrows and, saving the best for last, a Napoleon Perdis Protégé Lip Gloss in a lovely warm pink color (reminds me of MAC's partial pink cremesheen but less yellow).Thanks loads Meg! :D You were spot on!Can't wait to see what I'll get for 250 points, I bet it's going to be epic!
I received another 250 package today. Admittedly, a little disappointed. Sheer Cover in Latte (medium) with mini kabuki, it's too dark for my fair skin, looks more shimmery than glowing on me, and doesn't provide the coverage I need for my issues. Barielle Total Foot Care Cream, just not a product I have any need of and would have never considered buying. China Glaze in Bad Landing, coral pink with lots of shimmer, my daughter loves it but not a colour I'd ever wear. Two samples of Juara Sweet Black Tea & Rice Facial Moisturizer, I have extremely oily skin and this is for normal skin, it left my skin feeling greasy in a lot of places and extremely shiny. Two samples of EOS Ultra Moisturizing Shave Cream in pomegranate raspberry, I've really wanted to try this product, and in this scent, after trying it just once I'll be buying it. Napoleon Perdis Protege Lip Gloss, I'll be honest, I took one look at this and screwed my face up. Firstly, as a winter colour corals tend to make me look sickly, and secondly, I don't like lip gloss because I find the weird tackiness of the vast majority of them really grose and as a woman who already has a very full pout I find the level of shine it provides makes my lips look like I just had lip injections. That said. I absolutely adore this lip gloss. No weird grose tacky yuck, the shine manages to enhance my lips rather than make them look ridiculous, and the colour has some kind of weird magical awesomeness to it which brings out the natural colour of my lips without looking coral at all.
Woo-hoo!! I got it!!!! My 250 from the beginning of March , UD shadow, China Glaze nail polish, Napoleon lip gloss and Tart eye liner and gloss. Oh and the sweet little card ~sending a BIG THANK YOU Meg :-)
I got my 250 package today and I am sooooo excited!!! I will have to update as I use them! I think I'm going to paint my nails with the China Glaze Bad Landing tonight its a gorgeous color. I also got Tarte Seal the Deal which is great, I need something to seal my lipstick, I can't wait to try this. I got Tarte eyeliner in Ballet Dancer (a really sweet blue color), Napoleon Protege Lip Gloss it looks coral-y in the tube but I suspect it looks more nude on (which is awesome) and Urban Decay Dreamshadow cream eyeshadow in whipped I think is color is absolutely stunning. I can't wait to try it all out in the next few days. Thanks Meg and Co!!!!!
I got my 250 point package (back from end of January) yesterday and I got exactly the same as some of you- Barielle Foot cream, napoleon lip gloss, china glaze, EOS shave cream, Juara facial moisturizer, and the Sheer Cover kabuki and mineral powder. Very excited to try and review these products! :) I would have liked to try the UD and Tarte products too, next time! Thanks Meg & team! Hope everyone gets their point package soon.

I just got my 250 point redemption in the mail yesterday and I'm so excited. I got Halakahiki Lotion that smells like fruity banana medicine which is amazing, Napoleon Perdis Lipgloss in 'Protege' that has an awesome mint smell and is in a lovely peach colour, Tarte lipstick in 'Tantrum' which is a bright red colour, and Tarte 'Seal the deal' but that broke in the mail but I still have the shine one, I also got Sheer Cover mineral foundation with a brush that I'm dying to try.

I got my package! I redeemed 50 points in mid April. I recieved a sample of EOS shave cream (which I've actually really been wanting to try), a sample of Juara Sweet Tea & Rice Facial Moisturizer, and a Napoleon Perdis Protege Lip Gloss which I am absolutely in love with! Thank you so much for sending it to me. :)
I received mine a few days ago. It was from April 9. I received the exact same package lolliTragic did a little ways above. The Sheer Cover was much too dark for me but applies nicely (without the kabuki that came with it - too scratchy). The China Glaze polish in Bad Landing (I don't get/see how the name fits with the color) is pretty - a nice coral-ly red. The Perdis gloss is a highly pigmented peach color with a very wet shine - called a "glass" for a reason. Love the brush applicator. It has a very strong spearmint taste and smell that lingered on my lips even after I wiped off the gloss (not a plus in my book). The rest (Barielle foot cream, Juara moisturizer sample, eos shave cream sample) I have yet to try.
I got my 250 points package yesterday! :) I got:Barielle hand creamChina Glaze nail polish in Bad LandingNapoleon Perdis lip gloss in ProtegeSheer Cover mineral foundation in GoldenSheer Cover kabukiEOS shave cream samplesJuara moisturizer samplesI really LOVE it all. Thankyou Meg! :D
I just got my package from a 12 March redemption, postmarked 7 June, reached Singapore on 17 June. For 150 points, I received Napoleon Perdis Protégé lip gloss (coral/orangey nude sheer gloss, has a STRONG minty taste -- not what I like, but love the color/sheerness/glossiness to bits! I wonder if I leave the tube open, would the minty scent go away???), and UD's heavy metal glitter eyeliner in Metalhead (fun purple glitter http://www.urbandecay.com/categories/HeavyMetalGlitterEyeliner.cfm). I could have a third item, possibly nail polish. But I would never know. There is a big tear on the back of the padded envelope, and it was taped over. There are tiny red dots/splashes (resembles nail polish) all over the envelope. but the insides were clean (hmm, how could that be??). I'm thinking those tiny reddish spots could be remnants of that China Glaze polish most people mentioned.. with a name like Bad landing.. hehe, how apt... oh well... it's not meant to be.. Eleni & Meg, thanks for putting this together! xoxo
Yesterday I just received my gift for redeeming 50 points...it's a Napoleon Perdis Protege Lip Gloss. I just love the minty flavour and the coral colour :) just in time for summer! Thanks Meg xxx
I received my package last week, and it sounds very similar to what many of you received. My China Glaze in"Bad Landing" was open and spilled ALL over EVERYTHING!! A little disappointing as it looks like such a fun color! I also got the Tarte "seal the deal" one side is gloss the other side is a sealer. Also got Napoleon Perdis lip gloss in "protege" Urban Decay eye color in "whipped" a kind of orangy color. and lastly a tarte eyeliner in "olympia" a purple color!I would have bought the China Glaze, but the others I don't think I would have been drawn to, so it is nice to try out some things outside my "norms"I cashed out in March and am almost ready to cash out again!!
