I totally agree with you. I only buy if I'm certain that I'll wear it. Otherwise it stays in the store for another customer. I never returned any make up. Obviously, it's different if you live in a remote location where you depend on online shopping - but even then I would probably only order products where I was sure that they would suit me.
 
[/quote] I couldn't agree more. I live in a la backwater de jour with two hours to my nearest counter so I only ever buy online and I have never returned an item. I know the looks I like and what suits my colouring or I should do by now! And with the invent of blogging and forumming it's possible to see a wide range of swatches in different lights and skin tones - enough for me to order with relative confidence.

My order from Debenhams has been dispatched, all but one MES, unfortunately, it doesn't say which one in the email and I can't find how to check on my account. Can anyone help me? All it says in the email is Supplier Order in progress. Is it possible to view your orders on the website?

I'm pretty much the same way. I've been going to the same girls at the same counter for years. That's why I was able to view everything before hand and put things on hold. They only do holds for the really good customers and it's only on hold, not purchased yet, so I have put things back after I thought about it some more. I've been going there for so long that they know I'm coming on launch day. But someone had put the entire collection on hold and there's only a couple of certain colors left. It would be unfair to others if it took a month for that person to come back or even never come back.

I'm the sort that if I buy it, I keep it. I won't buy anything I think won't look good on me and then turn around and return it. Even if you return something unopened, it has to get sent back, so just imagine if there was some popular LE item that you were reacting to based on hype, then turned around and brought back - that's another person who would have looked great in it getting denied from a chance to have it for themselves. I'm totally OK with the stores being more careful about who they will do holds for, specifically for this reason.
What I do to minimize this for myself is I have one store I go to come hell or high water, even if it's more convenient for me to pop into a different MAC store or counter that particular day. Everyone knows me there and they all know I love them and give them my loyal business. They know my habits - how I like to come in and take my sweet time trying everything out in store before buying because I won't come back with returns and how I will spend all my money at their store instead of running all over town. Because of this, they're very willing to give me generous samples when they can for iffy stuff I need to try out (I have every Big Bounce color because of this), call me up and let me play around in their back room for hours when the collections come in, etc. It's certainly a you scratch my back I'll scratch yours situation, but the nice thing is my store manager and a lot of the MAs are really great people too, and hey - you can never have enough makeup buddies!!!

they are not meant to use on point but you have to use one side or the other (I have to change my habits with them).
234: it looks a bit like the 217, it can be also used on point, it's a blending brush, I'll probably try it with concealer on the synthetic side!
235: I really like this one! I'll probably use the synthetic side with paint pots or cream eyeshadow and IMO can be also used to highlight the brow bone.
128: I still have to test this one in a better way. I have used it with My paradise and it has taken a lot of overspray ^__^' it's a bit smaller than the apples of my cheeks and it's not good for blending, it's better for packing on color..powder and cream!!




I loved that movie.

Thx for the review of the brushes b/c that is the only thing I am getting online is #235, 234, and 128? I think these are just plain fun and I hope to do a whole eye with just flipping the brush.

I don't do MES much but I especially won't pay $20 for a sheer product unlike the past MES (Sea and Sky-the favorite of many). I wanted Unsurpassable but not enough to order online it must be seen in store and with FIX+ on a #242 to justify it playing with my other mes.

Gem of Roses speaks to me but it is speaking so softly even on Temptalia lips that I wonder if it will even show on my pigmented loud mouth; in store buy, B2M possibility.

I don't think you can check your order status on Debenhams sadly. Well, mine hasn't been confirmed or dispatched, I think it's taking them forever just to pick up all the things I ordered, lol! I think it's 22 items!

I keep going back and forth between buying Mineral Mode or wait and rather get Chanel's Illusion D'Ombre Emerveille, when that comes out in August here. When I compare the swatches on Temptalia they're close, I asked her like a week ago about those two but she never approved my comment. I know they're not dupes, but close enough for me to just get one, I'm just wondering what would be the better purchase, because they're obviously different in texture and Chanel is more expensive.

[/quote] I am the same but for me I couldn't decide between mac mes and Armani eyes to kill. In the end I decided I will get the mes shadows I like and just pick up one Armani eyes to kill shadow in purpura for my birthday in august as a treat because it's a good bit more expensive
