Thanks for the tip on Hibiscus (forgot to thank you earlier) - this is cute, but I'll definitely be skipping. My UD Naked palette and the MAC neutrals I've been buying are enough for me, lol.

Have any of you girls pressed your pigments at all? How much did you use roughly? I'm looking at buying some samples so I can press them as I'm not a fan of loose shadows and need to know how many I'd need to buy of each to make it work.
i haven't pressed my pigments for fear of wasting them! however if you look in the tutorials section of specktra i'm sure somebody has done one for pressing them. you can press glitters too apparently!

i'd love to press mine as i hardly ever use them cos they sit in my drawer while my palettes are out on my desk

I would press them.. but tbh, I want to sell them and I have relatively good alternatives, so no point..
But pressing glitter? How the hell would that work?!

I popped into House of Fraser on my way back from dance class today, and spent my £5 voucher. I ended up buying Urban Decay 24/7 eyeshadow pencil in Narc, and the Cooling Lip Gloss in Jilted. They gave me a free trial sized Stardust eyeshadow in Retrograde.
In the post today, I received MAC Dervish lip pencil and Blurberry shadestick, which I bought on ebay for just £5.20 for the pair, including postage

I think it's next month I get my loyalty vouchers from House of Fraser, too, and it should be a good amount as I've used my card for some big spends over the last quarter, like my microwave. I'll look forward to spending those - probably also on Urban Decay.
My ebay bargain MAC was an auction, and I was surprised to get them for that price. They're used, but only once or twice, and the seller says she has sanitised them with Isopropyl Alcohol. They actually look barely touched.
I've also bought a couple of other shadesticks on ebay, which have yet to arrive, and I got a Wonder Woman 'Defiance' palette for just £16.49 including postage, brand new (again, all auctions). I feel quite pleased with my bargains, but must try to stop now ready for the new MAC collections. I want some of those Cinematics eyeshadows for starters, but am anxious to know what colours the new ones are so that I can make my list.

what is glossy box?
you know in the states they have that birchbox thing? this is the uk version. you pay £10 a month and you get sent 5 products! Today I got an illamasqua face powder thing that is on the site for £15 at the moment which is awesome! I also got a nail polish, perfume sample, body oil and some sun cream. I wasn't overly excited about the sun cream!

Yes I did and I got mine today too and also got the Illamasqua pigment. What colour is yours? Mine is green - not quite sure if it's a colour I'd use much so might pass it along to my sis. I really liked the Ciate nail polish though, it's a lovely bright orange. I also got what looks like a full size Weleda body oil and some perfume samples. There was a mini Xen Tan tube too, was thrilled with that as I use this already and it's the perfect size to take on holiday. Overall I'm quite happy.

Really peed off with Debenhams at the moment. I placed two orders on Monday 18th, ie 3 days ago, and still haven't had dispatch e-mails. WTF? What's taking them 3 days? Weird.
Also, I returned a nail polish to nails Inc nearly 3 weeks ago and they said they never received it. Conveniently (for them) I didn't send it registered, so now I have to get the Royal Mail to refund me as they won't if there's no tracking number. How strange.
Last day of school tomorrow, just been out for a mums' meal and now I really need to go to bed and sleep.
