Whoa! I just got a Mango Sheen in the package today, better check it quickly.

EDIT: Just tested it, my Mango Sheen works fine, yay!

My Imperial Red took about 15. So far I've given Mango Sheen 70 or more and given up

My inez lipstick and butterfly party pigments turned up from mac tonight. In the most ridiculous big box. Mum thought I'd gone on a mental spending spree! Not right for a change I cannot wait to play with my crushed metallic pigments tomorrw. I swatched them and they are gorgeous! I love the MW lipstick packaging. Inez is pretty but im not sure how much it suits me the metallic finish settles in my lip creases a bit

LOL, my box was ridiculously oversized for what was in it, too.

They were really helpful with me about the missing lipstick so fingers crossed they'll sort it out for you.

 

[Alisha1]

What's up with MAC production? You've gotten an empty lipstick and I seem to have gotten an empty Mango Sheen and will have to phone MAC tomorrow.

Hope MAC sort it out for you! That must be very frustrating having to ring and wait for another to arrive!

Having just read someone else's experience of finally getting life out of her lipgloss after 150 clicks, I gave mine another go. It worked! It's not empty after all, but something's not right if it takes that long to activate.

I went into HoF today and collected my order. Looking forward to trying out my Butterfly Party later, and the 168 brush which I finally gave in and purchased. My Urban Decay lipgloss looks super sparkly, too. I spent my £40 of HoF vouchers and got Benefit Hervana and They're Real mascara.

I also popped into Boots, but they didn't have the lip butters on display. I asked, and they said their offers are due to change again on 20th, so that is probably when they will get them. They checked online, and they show as out of stock, but I've just seen Revlon tweet that they aren't out of stock and should be available online later. I did buy one of the mini Max Factor nail polishes in Fantasy Fire, as I've seen the bloggers raving about it, and I can see why - it's absolutely beautiful, Pity they're such small bottles. I also got Moondust, Graffiti and Dazzling Blue - I think Lou would love the last 2, especially DB.

BTW, a £12 Max Factor spend gets you a free gift containing a small makeup bag, mascara, mini kohl pencil and nail polishes in Disco Pink and Intense Plum. It has a £3 Max Factor coupon in, too. The £5 No7 voucher offer is on, too, so I might use mine towards a new brow gel

^Glad your Mango Sheen is working finally. I wore Kim l/g over Inez l/s this afternoon and I really like them both, esp Inez, it's such a pretty colour. Kim has a lovely texture though, not sticky at all.

I will pop into Kingston tomorrow and check out the TdF glosses, but will try to resist, and also the other Sheen Supreme glosses. I will ask about FoL l/s for you, Dawn.

this isnt make up related but i thought i'd share my joy, ive lost 10 lb in 2 weeks on my diet, well on my way to my target of losing 3 stone

i was 14 and a half stone, i would like to be 11/11 and a half in time for my holidays this summer! just been eating a tonne of salad and fruit and veg, and a little carbs and plenty protein.

i went to mac saturday, i got the purple gloss from chen man ( i love me some purple) and petrol blue (the only pearlglide i dont have) a back up purring t/t and i checked out too supreme but ended up getting blossom culture, which has apparently been out for ages, but it looks lovely on, i like the sheen supreme texture and they're great for work, not too full on

congratulations sweetie!! that is amazing and you have done so well in only two weeks!! nearly an entire stone! what do you typically eat for your meals if you don't mind giving me a run down!

for breakfast i have special k, various dif flavours, or i think cheerios have a similar amount of calories, for lunch ive been really getting into soup, but not cream based soups, more broth/ veg based soups, i like the covent garden ones, the carrot and corriander or winter veg are quite low calorie, and i'm a pig and eat the whole carton for lunch, works out about 300 cals but a low cal sandwich is like 400 so i'm happy with that, and cos you get so much it fills you up. either that or good old canned heinz soups like chicken and veg or whatever, but i usually have some crackers or rice cakes with the tins of soup cos they arent so filling. I mix it up sometimes by having a salad, and if i really fancy a sandwich i go for a wrap instead.

dinners have been a bit more relaxed, i live with my parents so its a bit much to ask they cook something different for me, but i've been trying to avoid obviously unhealthy ones like pasta, and having stir frys and things instead, either that or a salad and a chicken breast cooked in the oven (with or without seasoning).or just regular dinners, but i usually half the amount of carbs i would usually care to have and replace it with more veg! to be honest dinner i'm quite relaxed on, but i factor in what ive had the rest of the day, so if i've been bad, i'll have salad but if i've been good i'll have something more interesting, but mainly i try to keep below 500 calories for dinner

snacks, i have bought a popcorn maker, which makes popcorn with no fat, so i do a handful of those, or you can get walkers french fries which are only 84 cals per bag as a treat, for a sweet treat jaffa cakes or kit kats are quite low in calories too, but i limit myself to one treat a day

i have also replaced my usual numerous cups of tea and coffee with herbal/fruit teas (unsweetened)

ps if i'm hungry i feast on veg and fruit

hope this helps!

Congratulations! It really does make a difference to your mood when you shed the pounds doesn't it? I've lost 5 1/2 stone since January last year, it really has made me so much happier!

 

[Anitacska]

Wow, well done to you all for losing weight! Wish I could say the same, but I love carbs and sweet stuff and I have no self control. And eating a bit less doesn't work for me, I need to go on a very strict diet to lose weight. But right now I feel a bit depressed to contemplate it. So I remain fat...

 

[banana1234]

it is hard but im going on holiday with my boyfriend and some of his friends this summer, and the extra weight i have put on over the years makes me embarrassed to get into my bikini! its plenty motivation!

i put on weight because i ate whatever i wanted for 4 years straight and ballooned up 4 dress sizes, so losing it is simple, i cant eat whatever i want i must only eat what i need, i eat when im bored, unhappy etc, i need to break my emotional connection with food!!

i think that my mac addiction may rise as a result, for each stone i lose i'm treating myself to a new brush! my first brush will be the 138!

Bikini? I haven't worn one of those since I was about 6. No way I would ever show my body off, even when I was a size 10/12 - I'm too self-conscious and like to keep covered. I wear a power mesh leotard with my bellydance costumes as I don't like my saggy belly jiggling about too much.

Anyone got any tips for getting rid of 'bingo wings'? I find it really depressing when I see mine in the mirror when I'm dancing

 

[Anitacska]

That's a really good insentive! I'm not that heavy myself, but I'm a size 14 and ideally should be a 10. But at 35 after having 3 children I can't be that bothered, lol. I haven't worn a bikini in ages, my tummy has so much excess skin, that would never go away even if I was a size 6.

[rockin]

Yep, I have that 'excess belly skin' problem. No amount of exercising will get rid of that, yet the first thing people suggest is sit-ups! My stomach muscles are good and strong though

 

[banana1234]

hehe, aw, i hope to be a 14 at 35 anitacska! especially after 3 kids!

Lolthis is what I do, I just eat whatever I want and regret it later...

I would use the buy a MAC brush everytime I lose a stone incentive but I already have so many that I need to buy but can't as I spend the money on makeup instead that I don't see it working! *rolls eyes*

Went to Kingston and had another look at the TdF glosses and the Sheen Supreme glosses. I've decided against the TdF ones, but did really like Asian Butterfly and Cherry Fest. So I've ordered AB from Debenhams together with the Guerlain Sun In The City shimmer powder. I'll order CF and a couple of the pearlglides tomorrow so I get another 500 points that way (I'm crafty like that, lol). The Guerlain powder is 15g and it's £43, but obviously only £38.70 at the moment with the 10% off.

They still seemed to have everything at the counter, I even managed to pick up a FoL l/s for Dawn and the Shop Mac lipsticks were all out too. I guess people might be finding it hard to pick up everything at once with so many collections.
