My Debenhams order was dispatched on Tuesday but still hasn't arrived... Come on Royal Fail, I want my pretties!

Oh no, I was hoping mine will have arrived by now, going home this afternoon.

@Anitacska I seen on your blog you recently hauled the Paul & Joe pearl foundation primer. Is there any chance you can review it? all the reviews online don't reallygo into much detail and would love to hear your opinion on it.

I will try to do a post on it soon. I have only used it twice, but I really like it so far, it's similar to the Guerlain Meteorites primer, just cheaper.

Don't forget it's Bank Holiday weekend - no post today or Monday My order was also dispatched on Tuesday - I hope our orders turn up tomorrow

 

[Anitacska]

Just got back, no sign of my Debenhams orders. Hope they turn up tomorrow, that will be 5 days since I've ordered.

Holiday was good though (went to Center Parcs in Longleat).

Thank you!

i just wanted to say lou you look really pretty in ur march favs video, your hair is lovely wavy!

Hello ladies! Been a while, hope you're all well!

Been roughly reading through the threads and am I correct in reading some people have been getting charged for the Tres Cheek blushes but not having them arrive in the box?

I *finally* ordered from Shop Mac collection. Call Me Bubbles & Shop and Drop Quads and Watch Me Simmer l/s (others were sold out).

From Vera I've ordered the Undercurrent e/l

Tres Cheek - Immortal Flower and Pink Tea

and I also picked up Electric Eel e/s and a foundation pump for my EL Double Wear.

Also picked up some polishes from OPI (can't remember their names except for Lincoln Park After Dark) and I picked up 3 of The Capitol Hunger Games polishes by China Glaze - Dress Me Up, Riveting and Harvest Moon.

I'm a happy girl!

I always end up taking such a break from Specktra - I find whenever I'm on here you girls just make me want to buy buy buy, lol!

My postie has just been, and no Debenhams package for me I'm also still waiting for a package sent on 28th March, and the Sleek blush I won. My MAC blush order is still showing as 'In Warehouse'

I managed to buy a Shop n Drop quad last week at a good price, but with the Easter post I wasn't expecting that today anyway.

I know what you mean PeachTwist, coming on Specktra makes me want to buy, buy, buy too

 

[rockin]

Just had a look on the MAC website, and I'm surprised that it looks like nothing has sold out yet. I can't help wondering if it's another 'error' though, as my blushes were showing as being in stock when they say their system said they had no stock

 

[Anitacska]

Well one of my two Debenhams orders has just arrived (the one with the Extra Dimension stuff), but the other one (with the blushes) that I placed on the same day (within an hour of the other) and was also dispatched on Tuesday hasn't come yet. This has to be the slowest it's taken me to receive an order from them. I'm guessing it's down to the Royal Fail (love that name, whoever came up with it!). Oh well, at least I have my ED goodies.

I'm hoping to go to the counter on Monday to have a look at things in person, hope I can get away. I'd go tomorrow actually, but it's my birthday, so I'd better not, lol. I could go today, but my car won't start, just waiting for the Green Flag man to come and fix it, which isn't too bad actually because this way I had to send my hubby food shopping (I don't drive his car, it's a big monstrosity) and he didn't see the Debenhams package arrive.

 

[rockin]

Tomorrow being Easter Sunday, I wouldn't be surprised if most shops were shut anyway. Certainly our shopping centre will be, and our Sainsburys, so I have to go shopping today for party food for my son's 18th birthday which is on Monday.

It's the Extra Dimension shadows that I'm waiting for from Debenhams, and I'm getting so impatient to have them in my hands

 

[Anitacska]

Oh yes, that may be the case. I'll go on Monday anyway.

The weirdest thing's just happened, there was a knock on the door and when I answered it, my other Debenhams package was on the doorstep. Either the postwoman came back and couldn't be bothered with waiting for me to answer the door (has happened before) or it was my "kind" neighbour who might have had it by accident (we're not on speaking terms cause she's a b*tch). At least I have my blushes now, yay! A couple of them seem a bit dull in colour (Pink Tea and Immortal Flower), but I haven't swatched them yet, so they might be quite nice on the skin.

I have a neighbour like that, too

Still no Debenhams package for me, so it looks like I'm going to have to wait until at least Tuesday now. To make things worse, the Manic Panic eyeshadows I got in the post today I suspect are fake - the colour called Mystic Heather has 'Mystic Header' printed on the label on the bottom of the pot.

 

[nazia]

Just a heads up guys. Illamasqua have some blushes for half price. It's part of an Easter promo. If you click through to Powder Blushes and then click on each shade individually, you'll see some are reduced. I ordered Lover and Tremble =)

 

[Anitacska]

Aaw, that's a bummer. I've never heard of Manic Panic, are they quite expensive, so that people fake them? The only fakes I'm aware of are either high end (Dior, Chanel, Guerlain) or very popular brands (Mac, Benefit).

Yeah, my neighbour has been nasty ever since I asked her to trim her overgrown holly bushes (she lives on the corner on our way to school and it was sticking out all over the place on the children's eye level), she didn't like that and since then she's been horrid. She once took in a package that came for me and didn't give it to me for about a week, I ended up phoning up The Book People and they re-sent the order, only to find the following day that she'd had it. She didn't even bring it over herself, but gave it to the postman to give it to me (or rather make it look like he'd just delivered it, but he was too confused about it and told me she gave it to him to pass it me). Nasty cow.

Manic Panic are an American company that do hair dyes and makeup mainly for the punk and goth type. Cocktail Cosmetics have some of their kits, but mostly Manic Panic do individual items. They do white face powder and foundation, which is quite handy for toning down the lightest shades I can get in Superdrug or Boots. They even do green, blue, purple and silver lipsticks. I had a look on their website earlier, and I believe the eyeshadows I bought are $11.50 each direct from them, but of course there is always Customs to think about.

Where did you buy the e/s from? Ebay? You gotta love technology. Ended up popping into Kingston after all and checked out all the new collections. Decided I wanted to get Young Venus after all, so ordered in on my phone from Debenhams. I also ordered 3 Bobbi Brown long wear e/s after I swatched them at the counter. In the end I only skipped Havana, Warm Thunder and Dark Dare (?) - the black one. I also swatched Full of Joy, but didn't get it. Really wanted the Models Own Hed Kandi glittery black polish, but once again it was sold out. I've got the gold one already, but I really want the black one. Oh and Chanel seems to have brought the Tweed Brun Rose blush out after all, if I remember correctly we didn't get that with the fall (?) collection.

 

[rockin]

Yep, ebay. Not the same seller as I got my other Manic Panic from before, though. I'm going to have to try to find my other MP eyeshadows and compare them, although these are the glitter ones rather than the regular ones.
