🌈🦄📦 THE UNICORN MAIL THREAD 📦🦄🌈

[veronika23]

So it looks like unicorn mail is taking over the Party Thread.  A while back @Mcakes suggested to me that it should have it's own thread. I also saw a few people mention it too since then.  Well I think it's time because the love is overflowing and everyone likes to see an unboxing! I know it's one of my favorite parts of BT. 

🖤🌈🦄📦🖤 Post your unicorn mail here!!!! 🖤🌈🦄📦🖤

Unicorn Mail: A random act of kindness. Essentially a gift/token of appreciation/pick me up/treat received from a fellow member of the community.

@eshoe ,

This is such a wonderful gift from @SportyGirly125 !  It's convincing me to want to hurry up and try Glossier!

[eshoe]

@tsavorite I’ve been using more of their products as I wear less makeup. I’ve only tried one product I didn’t care for (the Moisturizing Moon Mask). The Futuredew gives a great dewy glow, And the priming moisturizer I’ve been using for awhile now as a no nonsense primer. This kit has the Rich Priming Moisturizer which is more like a cream and will be great for the winter! @SportyGirly125 gave me so many new options to try💗

[SportyGirly125]

@tsavorite I was iffy about the brand at first but I am glad to slowly start trying their products 

[Shosh85]

@eshoe  Such a generous gift! I haven't tried anything from Glossier, but I've heard good reviews! Looks like a nice little variety of things to try!

Im happy you and your daughter now have your own macaron soaps! You'll have to let me know how you (and your daughter) like them! Enjoy! 

[eshoe]

Thank you @Shosh85! You haven’t tried anything from them yet?  There are a few standouts, I’ve been wearing less and less makeup so it’s been a good fit. The Honeydew has been my ‘help me look awake’ serum 😊 

The soaps, I found them at Trader Joe’s and my daughter claimed them, but now thanks to @SportyGirly125 I finally get to try them! I love how the lavender honey smells (even though I’m not a huge lavender fan) and the mint is really enjoyable.

[Shosh85]

@eshoe 

The Honeydew serum sounds wonderful! Looking awake is always something I need help with ... feeling awake is also something I need help with.. but I guess there's coffee for that  😂 

I've got a long Trader Joe wish list going and the soaps are on them.... I've only hesitated buying them because I wasn't sure if my sensitive nose would like how they smelled.... but my sister likes everything, so if I don't like how they smell I could always give them to her 😂 The lavender one was what I was questioning the most, so if you like it, I'm more hopeful 😉

So happy to hear you're both loving them so far!

[eshoe]

Lol @Shosh85 I meant to say Futuredew not Honeydew, although I suppose that could work, too! 

The soaps aren’t terribly strong, you might be able to handle them. The only thing I don’t like about going to Trader Joe’s is I still don’t have anything to make for dinner after going there, just grocery bags of snacks😆

[Shosh85]

@eshoe  Haha! A honeydew serum sounds like it could be good 😁

I do the same thing when I'm at TJ's - load my cart with snacks and maybe some skincare, but no dinner 😆 @ShortErica had chocolate for breakfast, so why not snacks for dinner? 😂

[eshoe]

I did that too, first day off my 40 day sugar fast @Shosh85 😄 Funny thing is, it’s only been four days and I’m ready to do it again! 

[Shosh85]

@eshoe  40 days of no sugar at all? 

[eshoe]

The only sugar we allowed was in fruit @Shosh85 - it was so hard. No pasta, honey, or substitutes, either. The first week was awful, we all felt bad and were cranky as could be😆 I just enjoy a piece of chocolate here and there throughout the day, so that habit was hard to break! But I started to have more energy and feel better overall. As excited as we all were to finish, I think I preferred life without sugar; I felt better. So we are going to do another one in a fee weeks:)

[ShortErica]

Another great unicorn mail from @SportyGirly125! Enjoy @eshoe. You'd better watch out in case your daughter claims these macaron soaps too. 😉 They are so cute.

[eshoe]

These are mine, @ShortErica ☺️ She has as much fun seeing what is inside! This brought some smiles and made my day. 💗💗💗 everything @SportyGirly125 sent, this was something I had been wanting must trying to maintain a low buy told myself no. So excited to get to try everything!

[SportyGirly125]

@eshoe I’m so glad I ended up asking you if you got it. I thought it was weird that a week went by. Yay!!! For reading your mind.  I hope you and @itsfi find new favorites from the brand. Thank you for always being sweet to my family and I. Hugs 🤗 

[eshoe]

@SportyGirly125 you and I both! A week is a long time, my heart dropped thinking you took such care to send such a thoughtful package and it could have been lost. Thank goodness for people at the post office who care about getting it to the right person:)

The Trader Joe’s macaroons are just perfect, I wanted to try them but you know how it is as a mom...everyone else is first. Thank you for including them, even though you had to snag the last ones-I cannot wait time try them myself!🥰💗💕 Hugs to you, my friend! 

[quspork]

What a fantastic Valentine's surprise, @eshoe! The Glossier set looks like a great lineup of products to try out!

[eshoe]

I think I’ve tried everything now, @quspork, didn’t take me long ☺️ The original balm.com is still intact, but that’s about it! @SportyGirly125 sent The most amazing Galentine’s cheer my way! 

[JGSFLA]

I have a bunch of samples ..way too many samples lol..if anyone would enjoy them PM me ty!

[ShortErica]

@Shosh85 WOW! I don't know how else to start.

All adorable and wrapped upEdibles as well as some good smelling and looking but maybe not tasting treatsMasks masks masks

She mentioned forgetting to send something so I received 2 packages in the mail.

A bag of goodies

So I'm going through the stack of masks and am like yay - Yadah, oh cool there's that cica one people have been trying, awesome - more salad masks to try, but then comes the show-stopper when you complete my collection of Holika Holika. I'm 99% sure I have all the varieties now and can't wait to do a brand showdown. It probably won't happen until the latter half of the year because expiring masks are priority but I'M SO SO EXCITED!

You know tasty treats don't last long. The boys were in bed so they didn't get to help me open but were so happy to get a jelly bean treat before I left for work. They asked where they came from and we said "mommy's friend." I asked if they should say thank you. They said it but were a bit confused and looking around wanting to see "mommy's friend." Haha. I enjoyed some treats too. I had a bit of a later start because my husband had an appointment this morning. I didn't do breakfast and instead ate some chocolate to tide me over until lunch. So delicious! I'm surprised I didn't eat it all at once.

I can't wait to try the samples too. I'm going to try to use a bunch (hopefully all) of my moisturizer samples starting in March so I'll have to see how they work. And thank you for your translation that the one is an eye cream! You are too kind. Thank you so much for this unicorn mail. Everything was just amazing!

[GalPalVal17]

@ShortErica  wow what a lovely and thoughtful gift. Also, so happy that completes your Holika Holika set. I remember you making a collage and noting the ones you were missing. I definitely will be looking out later in the year for your comparisons/reviews

[ShortErica]

Thanks @GalPalVal17! I'm excited for the H week in the 2nd half of the year. 🙂
