Favor to ask of my Canadian friends ...

I'm looking to get a bottle of Vichy Capital Soleil spf 60 sunblock. Could one of you charming folks pick one up & mail it to me? I will send you the $ via PayPal.

(This post brought to you by spending part of the evening reading up on sunblocks and finding out that most ones sold in the US aren't as effective as they claim, and some aren't even completely stable in sunlight. Lovely. gnnnnnng ... )

Hey where is that stuff sold? And how much does it run? I have heard good things.

[elenabtvs.livejournal.com]

You can get it at Shoppers Drug Mart, for one.

Okay, I'm at work and I currently have a bottle in my hot little hand. You want me to post this during lunch?

Shiseido's sunblocks are photo-stable, and pretty damn rad. They don't even leave your skin feeling sunblocky or sticky or anything.

As soneone who wears sunblock almost 24/7 due to severe photosensitivity, the stuff is a g-dsend, AND it's available in the US!

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

Oooh, yes please! And let me know how much $ I need to send you.

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

That's good to know. I guess I'll be stopping by the Shiseido counter in the near future ...

[martygreene.livejournal.com]

I get mine at sephora, I heard you guys have one near you now, so maybe stop there?

[elenabtvs.livejournal.com]

Well, it's 5pm now, so I'll post it either tomorrow or maybe later tonight.

But I don't have your address...

Did you just need one bottle? It comes to 27 CND taxes in for 100mL, and odds are it'll be pretty much the same price to mail two as one.

[elenabtvs.livejournal.com]

No, wait, I *do* have your address from the BBB! (Did you ever get a blanket, by the way?)

So I'll just send you one, unless I hear otherwise in the next few hours.

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

Nope, no blankie ever turned up.

If you could get me two bottles, that would be fabulous.

[elenabtvs.livejournal.com]

Holy crap!

Man, I spent a lot of time hounding people, too. Well, rest assured that there *will* be a blankie!

Two bottles it is.

Well, there's the Fat Chance Belly Dance 25 yard skirt (http://www.fcbd.com/costume/c_skirts.html) in cotton tissue, the Flying skirts 10 yard skirt (http://www.flyingskirts.com/catalog/001-ten.shtml) in rayon, or the 25 yard cotton tissue skirt (http://www.moondancebellydance.com/skirt.htm) from the horribly-designed webpage. (It's about half-way down the page. Ooogh, the blinky-ness of that page.)

Are those the ones you were thinking of? :)

So apparently the e-mail address I have for you is no longer valid, so here's the message I sent.

Okay, mailed at 1pm on the 14th of June - let me know
when it arrives, I'm interested to see how long it
takes to cross the continent. I sent it air mail,
they say 6-14 days.

The sunscreen itself came to $38.64 taxes in (I used
my employee discount, shh, don't tell on me); the
postage came to $11.75.

So, 50.39 CND, please.

We've got a PayPal account that we use to pay for
things, can you just send money to that?

It's brian.kmurphy@ns.sympatico.ca

If you can't, a money order would be fine.

Enjoy,

Oooh, I bet the email addy you have for me is the no-longer-in-existance gothicmissmanners.com one. The new! improved! email to reach me at is:

jilli (at) gothic-charm-school (dot) com

I can indeed send the $ to your PayPal addy, and will do that today. Thank you again for picking up the sunblock for me!

[elenabtvs.livejournal.com]

It is, in fact. Gothic Charm School! That's lovely.

Yaay!

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

The sunblock arrived today. Thank you so much! Ooooh, and thank you for the chocolate. Mmmm, Cadbury.

Re: Yaay!

[elenabtvs.livejournal.com]

That was pretty good time, actually. Yay!
