This was supposed to be a CP but Carekate here turned it into an overwhelming, touching experience for me. I swear that in all my 6 years of swapping, I've never met a kinder, more generous person. NOT only did she go out of her way to CP every single item that I needed, she also covered the extra shipping cost needed to send the items to my faraway country AND without even telling me too!! So imagine my  when I came home and saw the extremely heavy looking package with a postage label that was way way higher than what I paid for. I'm still reeling even as I'm typing here. And then there are all the lovely extras that she included which of course were painstakingly made by herself. There is the mask, lipbalm, lip exfoliator, rose face powder and a really cute pair of earrings. Now tell me if she's not just the most wonderful, wonderful person? Since I've not officially tried any of her products yet but couldn't resist slicking on a tiny bit of the yummy looking lipbalm, I can only rave about the balm. It's a very YLBB hint of a colour with a melt-on-lips texture that's at once soothing and healing. I've only had it on for a few minutes but my lips already feel incredibly softer and smoother. I honestly believe that Carrie's products can give many of the bigger brands out there a run for their money. I was already prepared to order the lash serum and mask from her once she starts selling but this only makes me all the more determined to demand that she sells me every single product she ever decides to make. 
Carrie, you've gone beyond and above the call of CP duty and I hope that you'll be blessed in every way that you've been blessing others. Thank you.

Fenn, I agree with everything you said! Carrie not only makes fabulous products, she is kind and super-generous to boot. If you love the lip balm, wait 'til you try the powder...I like it even better than the Jurlique! Please post with a review once you try everything (I still need to try her super-sonic mask...that's my next order)!

Will do, quisme! I'm really looking forward to giving this a whirl (along with a few other goodies I spied on CareKate's DIY list!)!

I can't wait for carrie's lip gloss to come out.
I'd love to get her lip balm too. It sounds lovely.

Carrie´s a busy girl, with limited computer access. She´s only has 30 minutes internet time per day, and I´m sure she receives tons of messages. She´ll get back to you when she can, I can guarantee you that.  |

I apologize for not getting back to everyone yet that has PM’d about ordering some of my homemade products – as Lene said, I have limited internet access and I’ve been inundated with requests so I’m answering them as quickly as I can.
In addition to limited time with a computer, I also am awaiting arrival of additional supplies to make some of the special request items as I didn’t expect such an overwhelming response – that’s not a complaint!! Believe me, I’m thrilled that so many want to try some of my stuff. And my internet access-hardship should be over in the coming weeks as Mermaid Girl has been kind enough to offer me the use of a second hand computer so when it arrives I’ll be better able to keep up with everyone’s messages.
Anyway, I have received all of your PM requests and I am responding to them in the order in which they were received. Please don’t be discouraged, I WILL get back to everyone as quickly as I can and hopefully everyone will find that the delay is worth it....
Thanks again for all your interest and support!
Carrie
P.S. Lene - I’ll be making the last of your stuff this weekend and sending it out with your Lush Lash tester but I need your mailing info again so please PM!
Cuppre - I’ve ordered your MAC/Urban Decay stuff and will be making the rest of your homemade items this weekend so hopefully early next week your parcel will be ready.
Lucia - Your parcel will be in the mail by this weekend. I’ll be sending your PayPal bill shortly. AgentOOCat, same for you!
Everyone else, I’ll be PMing you soon with price lists and/or to confirm your order requests. |
