I know, right? What is wrong with me?! I need more UK makeup obsessed girls in my life, the problem is the enabling!

I took a good hard look at FF swatches and to be perfectly honest I only want Ever Hip l/s - when I realised Free To Be and Lucky Green e/s are permanent I didn't see the need in getting them specifically with this collection - the other ones don't catch my eye at all! Problem is I know how quick Ever Hip will sell out, so I need to have the money set aside to snatch it up immediately!

Fashion Flower is launching on the 7th of July here :) I know what you mean about makeup making you poor trust me I haven't bought any for about 3-4 weeks! All I've purchased is Benefit Posie-tint which came free with Glamour! :eek:

Honestly I have no idea how I'm gonna keep going through this. If I don't find a job soon I'm gonna be flat broke forever and yet I still keep making MAC orders! Lord help my bank account! Haha - I got the Posie-tint, High Beam and Bene-tint with Glamour! I'd wanted to try all 3 but refuse to spend even more money on Benefit for full size. Especially considering I'm not keen on Benefit packaging. I like the sleekness of MAC. I need to stop shopping, but I can't. I have a list of things. My goal is every permanent MAC eyeshadow, and then whatever I want from collections. How is one supposed to do that with no job? I need to move city - this one has nothing lol.

You know, I have to say after reading this... I'm glad I'm not into harder drugs yet (Chanel, etc). This MAC crack is good enough for me for now, haha.

^I always tried to avoid Chanel mostly because its a brand I can't afford to be into but the damn summer collection got me! Plus there are loads of things I want to try from the perm range!

I hear that! Pixiwoo and Lou keep making me want to try the Chanel loose powder.. I *have* to resist. I can't afford it, I really can't. I really wish I could but I may save up for it, however I refuse to look at anything else at all until I get a job unless it's MAC or cheaper, lol!

The Chanel foundation I got is the best I ever tried, I have dry skin and all foundations flake out on me, and powder?!!! Forget it! With vital lumiere I can dust my face in my guerlain meteorites and I still don't look dry, I'm in love!

lol! you need to know about the points! sometimes they do beauty days where you get bonus points and such which is great news. i got £10 off a clarins cream the other month and then earned about £5 more on my points card!

Another offer from e.l.f. I should imagine it's hard to spend £20 there, though, with everything being so cheap

You need to get a Debenhams points card asap! You have to collect 500 points to get a £5 voucher and they sometimes have offers where if you spend over £25 you get 500 points! These sometimes coincide with 10% off beauty offers which is great to save more :)

I've just returned from my local store with my beauty club card!!

I'm not sure if this is allowed but I have a Benefit Posie Tint and 2 Jemma Kidd High-Shine Silk Touch Lip Glosses in 17 Petal and 08 Fuchsia all unused that were free on Magazines but are not my colours. I can send them to anyone who wants them as they will only end up in the bin otherwise :)

i tried using the benefit posietint again today. i really hate it! it barely shows up on my lips. takes ages to dry and to be honest my lips started to tingle after wearing it too which i don't think is good!

I agree, I don't get on well with PosieTint, and I have a big bottle of it. Must sell it actually, free listing day on eBay! ;)

P.S. I can't believe I paid £24.50 for it!

woah!! i had no idea it was that expensive!! jeez! get it on ebay quick! i can't help but think benefit products are always over priced. that prrrowl glitter mascara gloss thing for example. in stores it is like £17 but i got mine from ebay for £10. honestly i don't even think it is worth £10 because to me the glitters are not that shimmery! boo!

I have to agree on the Benefit products - I got 3 samples free from Glamour mag this month but I would never in a million years pay full price for them. I've only swatched them thus far and as pretty as they are, I'm sorry, but I can't afford that kind of thing and I also don't like the packaging for most of their stuff. I realise a lot of girls like "cute" packaging, personally I don't. I love the sleek black packaging of MAC, it looks professional - not like a childs makeup kit. I have to admit I don't even like the Surf Baby packaging from MAC, I wish I could have gotten it in original packaging.. I'd have resisted if the colours weren't so gorgeous.

As for Debenhams, when I go into town this week I think I'll pick one up. I guess I'll start ordering from them too unless it's for getting a collection quicker, the point system seems like a good idea to me, is it just me though or do they not have the full MAC perm eye shadow range? That's a tad annoying, I have to say, lol.

I decided for the heck of it last night to look up jobs on makeup counters in my area - only one at Clinique in Boots - I'd apply for it if it was more than 7hrs a week. Blah! NEED JOB! Lol

I thought that as well, also when you click the colours you dont get to see them enlarged so you end up on the MAC site anyway!

If you're looking for a job www.jobsite.co.uk upload your CV and agencies will start calling you for jobs.

I have to layer it to make it show on my cheeks which is so annoying! I wanted to try Bene-tint first but the newsagents I went to never had it - I would never pay full price for this although I've been dying to try the Cha Cha Tint since I read the first review!
