The Scientist's cousin's wife (complicated, I know), just sent me the link to an awesome deal. Too good to pass up, actually. The e-mail explains that a particular cosmetic company has been bought out by Nordstrom's and is trying to reduce all it's inventory because their products are going to be repackaged with the Nordstrom's label on them. Awesome, right? I go to the company's website and browse. Yowza! Everything is a dollar!!! One Dollar! Cute website, looks professional enough and even has the PETA label in the corner. Looks like some great make-up and who doesn't need another tube of dept. store lipgloss? One cannot have too many colors, right? To sweeten the deal, every order up to $15 can be reduced by half if one only puts in a certain coupon code.
I have a grand time and order a basket full of stuff- lip gloss, nail polish, brushes, eye makeup and mascara (always on a quest for the perfect one). I get my half-off and gladly pay the 6.95 in shipping because, as I am exclaiming to The Scientist, I have probably just gotten about $150 in make up for $12. I push "complete order" soooo very, very happily.
Then I get to wondering... is this brand CURRENTLY being sold at Nordstroms and did they buy out a brand they are already selling or have they pulled it from stores completely? I go back to the website and click on the "store finder" icon on the top. I type in my MIL's zip code since they have plenty of Nordstroms near them and I just knew one of them would be referenced. And, as it turns out, there are plenty of stores near my MIL that sell this brand of makeup. She'll be pleased to know that if she needs to buy any of this stuff, all she has to do is go to one of the two places that currently sells it...
Big K or Big Lots.
Awesome. Just awesome. I'm expecting my large box of crap in the mail in a week or so.

Was it ELF? I got the same email a few months ago and also ordered a ton of stuff. I think the premise of the email is wrong (not being bought out by Nordstrom) but the stuff is actually pretty decent. I didn't buy any lipgloss but I have friends who love it.
Oh no...this is hilarious! Thank goodness it didn't set you back too much! :)
Yes, it was ELF! Kara, thanks for making me feel a little less like a moron this morning. I'll now be looking forward to my lipgloss!
Dude. You did NOT buy E.L.F.
Why did you not call me?
This has been an email scam for months and months.
However, the lipgloss is yummy...even if it is itty bitty.
Sheesh. Call a girl next time, OK?
I bought some and I actually like it. How bad can it be when it is that cheap--my eyelids have not fallen off or anything. Also, I have never seen it at our Big Lots.

My friend and I were recently discussing about technology, and how integrated it has become to our daily lives. Reading this post makes me think back to that debate we had, and just how inseparable from electronics we have all become.
I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Societal concerns aside... I just hope that as technology further advances, the possibility of transferring our brains onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's one of the things I really wish I could see in my lifetime.

Today, while I was at work, my sister stole my iPad and tested to see if it can survive a forty foot
drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad
is now destroyed and she has 83 views. I know this is completely
off topic but I had to share it with someone!
