One of my HUGE passions is cosmetics & any beauty and skincare products. I absolutely love trying them all except for the cheapy drugstore kind.....BORING. SEPHORA is like my Heaven! So one thing you will definitely see on my blog are posts about beauty products. I will share what is fab-u-lous & what is a waste of money. Not gonna like review everything but will definitely add my likes. I encourage my friends to comment on your own likes & dislikes too.
I saw a GREAT idea on on some beauty site about a beauty box that you & your friends pass around between each other. Everybody signs up to the list that the box will be mailed to. The box gets to you, you put in samples you no longer want or need, you could include coupons for beauty items or anything related to cosmetics. Each person takes what they want out of the box & puts their own items to donate in, then you would be responsible to mail the box onto the next person in line! Isn't that a FABULOUS idea among friends you trust? It's such a "girly" thing to do isn't it?
I would be ok with opened beauty products from my friends too as long as we all promise to use good sense. For example, to sample anything you want, don't touch applicators to your face, don't put lipstick to your lips, if you try it put it on something & then apply. Stuff like lotions or creams, we all would agree to use a plastic spoon to take out what you want so no fingers would touch the product, no contamination. That way we are all safe from spreading any kind of germs or causing a eye infection ya know.
And I have perfume that I get bored with or want to try new scents so the almost full or half full bottle just sits in my beauty basket. I could send that on along for someone else to enjoy. What do you all think ladies? As my blog progresses & more of my FB ladies read it, maybe we could do this? We could give it a try & see how everyone likes it. Matter of fact, what a great idea for passing along any items, like kids clothes, books, whatever you think someone else in the list would like or use so it wouldn't go to waste. (I'm thinking I have a closet full of purses I don't use hardly at all) We could recycle amongst ourselves. The only responsibility would be we all would have to pay for the postage to mail the box onto the next friend. Ok, we'll keep this on our to-do list like I said as the number of my blog readership by my FB lady friends grow.
I know some of you sell stuff like Avon or Pampered Chef or one of the other sell from home companies. You could also circulate what you sell via adding the catalogs to the box so you might could pick up more sales. I know I always think how I would LOVE to buy from my FB friends but I never know what you are selling at the time, or don't have a catalog to look through. And we all sell stuff for our kids at school, another way to possibly circulate more sales. Wow, the ideas are endless with this thing! But for security of all involved it would have to be a business where you could go online & pay via a website or call in an order via 800 number maybe? I wouldn't want anybody to send a check or cash & get burned. Not that I think any of you would do that but there is always the possibility. If we did it the way I described than no risk since no cash or check is involved. Many of these companies now have websites where your customers can place an order directly with the customer & the items are mailed to your door.
Well, that is all the thoughts I want to write about right now. Have a great rest of the Sunday! Love & (((HUGS))) to all!
