An Addiction to Remember...

Sometime last week, I got a package from the US. Guess what, the package is full of makeup goodies! These items were sent to me by a very good friend. Thanks Nina! I loved everything,especially the letter that was included in the package. ^_^

Hello, sorry for being on MIA mode for the past couple of weeks.. I just came back from a Palawan getaway with my boyfie for my 25th birthday, and I enjoyed it very much! Came home with a not so great tan, but overall, the experience was a good one.

Anyway, on with my haul post. This will be a quick one.

Hi! Im selling some of my pre-loved make up brushes. All of them are in very good condition, and have been tucked in a covered container. All of them were used less than 10x. I'm selling these because I think they're not receiving enough love from me anymore (huhuhu).

Payment options: Gcash and BPI deposit only, please add P68 for shipping within MM.

For inquiries, text me at 917-519-0904. Thanks!

I am very,very disappointed with ELF. Just when I was about to place my orders with them, the coupon for the 75% discount stopped working. I started adding items in my cart,and the max discount that it gives me is $10.00 (WTF?!). And when I emailed them, this is what they told me:

Howdy! I just wanna shed some light on some gray areas and make some revisions on the pool instructions as well. I want each and every participant of this pool to be happy about their purchases by maximing every discount possible. But lemme stress out a very important guideline before I even state the changes that will be made.

Only 1 discount coupon maybe used per cart. Therefore, if I receive orders from all 3 lines, then I have to create 3 separate carts and pay for 3 amounts for shipping. This only means that if you're purchasing different items from all 3 lines of ELF, then the ELF shipping fee that will be paid will be computed based on the number of participants for each line.

Please see the example listed below. Just a reminder, these numbers, specifically the number of participants listed,are fictional at this point and are placed in this illustration for discussion purposes only. The final numbers are to be determined once I have the final lists.

Studio line - 10 participants
Mineral Lipstick - 3 participants
Regular and MMU line - 5 participants

Standard shipping amount is @ $6.95 for USPS deliveries.

Therefore,

Studio line - $6.95/10 participants = $0.70, or P35/pax
Mineral lipstick - $6.95/3 participants = $2.32, or P116/pax
Regular and MMU line - $6.95/5 participants = $1.39, or P69.50/pax


Please check the scenarios listed below:

• Girl A purchased items from the studio,mineral lipstick and regular line. Therefore, she pays the ELF shipping fee in the amount of $4.41, or P220.50 (all 3 amounts were added up).
• Girl B purchased items from the studio line only. Therefore, she only pays $0.70, or P35.00. for shipping.
• Girl C purchased items from the studio line and the mineral lipstick lines. Therefore, she pays $3.02, or P151.00 ($0.70 + $2.32) for shipping.

Revisions on deadlines and payment details:

STUDIO ITEMS @ 75% OFF! - this offer is only good until August 19, 2009. To be able to use this coupon, I will be requiring everyone to submit their studio line orders until 11PM of August 17, 2009 ONLY. After the said cutoff, no pahabols or revisions of orders will be made, for the reason that I have to finalize and send out the invoices of the participants of the said pool on the following day. Payment options will be laid out, since this order will be placed way before the original August 31st cutoff. Shipping will be divided among participants.

MINERAL LIPSTICKS @ 75% OFF! - this offer is good until September 1, 2009. This will follow the original deadline, which is August 25 for the orders, and August 31 for the payment.

REGULAR AND MINERAL LINE @ 25% 0FF! - this coupon does not expire, but I'll be making this purchase along with the mineral lipsticks, only in a separate cart, so that we can still get the 25% discount. This will follow the original deadline, which is August 25 for the orders, and August 31 for the payment.


Also, I would like to apologize for not being able to answer PMs and text messages instantly. I work on a graveyard shift, so I sleep during the day. If some of the guidelines are still blurry at this point, please get in touch with me at 0917.519.0904, and I'll be happy to discuss things with you.

THE BASICS:

Deadline for orders: August 25, 2009
Deadline for payments: August 31, 2009

GUIDELINES:
$1.00 = P50.00
Regular, Mineral (except for mineral lipsticks) and Studio lines will have a 25% discount
Mineral lipsticks will be priced at $1.25 instead of $5.00

The ELF FedEx fee will be divided amongst all participants, and there will also be a P50/item shipping charge that is to be paid upon the arrival of the items here in Manila. Shipping of the items will commence via artegirl's co-loading services. She's also a member of GT.

Estimated date of arrival is within the 3rd week of October.

TERMS OF PAYMENT:

As much as I want to, I can't allow a 50% downpayment scheme since everything will be charged to my CC right away. With that being said, the amount that you have to pay by the 31st of August will be the total amount of the items that you got plus the ELF shipping. Again, the P50/item scheme will be collected upon the arrival of the items here in Manila.
