Happy Birthday Anitacska!

Thank you! Actually wanted to contact you about your blog. I saw your Extra Dimension FOTD and wanted to leave a comment, but I didn't see anywhere to leave a comment below the post. Idon't know if it's intentional or by mistske, or maybe I'm blind? Lovely FOTD by the way!

Happy Birthday Anita! Hope you had a great day xxx

 

[LMD84]

i hope you had a brilliant day yesterday Anita! I know i posted birthday wishes on your facebook but sorry i missed it here

And to be honest i have been trying not to get too hyped up over the mac collections. i need to stop spending money and although i come on here and do my mod duties i don't chat as much as i used to - mainly because i don't feel like the products are as special as they once were. for example i bought one extra dimention shadow and sure it's nice but don't feel like i need more. bought one of the skin finishes too and really don't think that is anything special

Ah, I have just realised that my comments system has died (not for the first time!). It's back up and running now, but thanks for letting me know!!
P.S. Thanks for the compliment!

My Shop & Drop & Vera goodies from Selfridges just arrived! Happyyyyyy! Nice thing to wake up to after a horrible dream.

 

[Anitacska]

Don't suppose anyone has a free delivery code for Models Own? I really want the Ibiza Mix Hed Kandi polish, but I don't want to pay £2.95 for delivery for just one polish and I really really don't need any more of them right now.

Have you tried Boots for that nail polish, Anita? That colour appears to be out of stock online, but I'm sure I read that this range were going to be in branch too

 

[Anitacska]

Yes, unfortunately they didn't have ant both times I went. My local Boots doesn't have a MO stand, so I either have to go to Kingston or Guildford, the KIngston one was out of stock twice (I did buy the gold glittery one though). I'll go to Guildford next week once the children are back at school. I'm just worried it's a limited edition set and I'll miss out.

My Debenhams orders arrived this morning. Blue Orbit definitely seems to be the star of the show, but they all seem to swatch quite nicely on my arm. Young Venus is not as pink as I thought it might be, but it's a very wearable pink. I can see me wearing this on it's own, with just eyeliner,

I phoned MAC about my blush order, which is still showing as In Warehouse, and they told me it had been picked and would be going out tonight. It was too late to cancel it (I panicked and ordered it from HoF the other day after all that confusion with MAC over blush availability, so they've advised me to refuse the delivery as that's the easiest way to return it and get a full refund. I'm happy about that, as that way I know it will not be getting thrown away when it gets back to them as it will be obvious it hasn't been touched.

I seem to be on a bit of a winning streak. I am still waiting for the Sleek blush I won to arrive, but this morning the Travalo atomizer I won arrived, and yesterday I won a Wonderbra on reallyree's blog. I was puzzled to receive a bra and brief set from Gossard this morning, but on checking back on my emails, it appears this might be my 'free gift' lingerie set for signing up as one of their VIPs after I ordered some bras in their sale a while back (3 for 1). I had replied to their email some time ago and had since forgotten about it.

I bought this in my boots on Friday, they had quiet a few, If I am honest I really wouldn't bother. i tried it out last night over a hot pink on my toes, it was really hard to control, some strokes had loads of glitter and others had none, had to apply 4 coats to get anything reasonable looking and it still has loads of gaps, it took forever to dry as well, its ok but just too much like hard work!

mine too is still showing as in warehouse, i was going to go to my local counter yesterday but didn't in the end, decided it will either be ok or I won't get it and I have enough blush so it wouldn't kill me to go without, it has completely put me off from ordering mac online from mac again though, they used to be so reliable online, now i think I prefer debenhams!

Going to give mac till the end of the day to dispatch, if not I will be calling customer services tomorrow!

Thanks. I still want it though. Well I'm glad I didn't bother with ordering from Mac, they seem pretty rubbish. I only order from them if it's an online exclusive, otherwise I order from Debenhams or HoF. Next month I'll be getting a £50 voucher from HoF and I have £30 on my Debenhams beautu card, so why bother with Mac?

I have stopped following mac as closely and completely missed debenhams putting up the blushes, my own fault! Blushes are my thing and i couldn't decide if i needed them till it was too late to order from debenhams! Definately prefer debs customer service and delivery. My mac order has finally been dispatched this evening with a tracking number, fingers crossed it arrives tomorrow !

 

[Anitacska]

Hope my order comes today with Young Venus and the Bobbi Brown eyeshadows. A nice package makes the day feel less dull when I'm stuck at home with 3 children and the constant sounds of Harry Potter, Horrible Histories and Moshi Monsters.

 

[PeachTwist]

So sorry to hear you're all having trouble with your MAC orders from Tres Cheek.

My order was made the other day, dispatched yesterday and already out for delivery today so I'll let you all know if everything arrives as it should. Hopefully you get your items though!

Randomly last night after getting into bed I felt nauseous and started throwing up... upon looking in the mirror my clear skin was blotchy all over. It looks like a major break out/rash all over my face.. it's even on my eye lids. I've never seen anything like it on my skin before. The weird thing is it doesn't..FEEL bumpy all over, if that makes sense? Even though it definitely looks like spots everywhere it's only a couple places feel raised and the rest just look like it should be. Has anyone ever had this happen to them before?

The only thing I tried last night that I've not used before is my new eye cream - but I didn't put it all over my face and this ... whatever it is is EVERYWHERE. Everything else though I've used before. I'm really nervous. :/

Harry Potter I wouldn't mind so much, but I have to listen to constant Pokemon, Japanese songs with high-pitched electronically created voices (it's called vocaloid, apparently - for an example look up "Hatsune Miku" on Youtube if you can bear it) and the latest crazes on Youtube. Then I've got my son trying to play these songs by ear on a small electronic keyboard - bear in mind he's not really musically inclined :/ Oh, and my daughter "sings" along to the Japanese music!

Oh to be able to watch a film or put a record on

Yodel have already been with my MAC package, which I have refused delivery of as per MAC's instructions. The 2 blushes arrived in a slim-looking black shiny bubble envelope, so not very well protected. I hope everyone else gets their orders today

Oh no, I hope it's nothing serious. That doesn't sound good at all

I'm guessing your MAC order was placed after the 'technical error' was noticed due to the phone calls they received, which would explain why your order has gone smoothly. I hope it arrives today and helps to cheer you up

 

[Anitacska]

Oh yes, that sounds fun too. I don't mind Harry Potter too much, but my eldest has watched every episode about 3 times since she got the box set for Christmas and started reading all the books. She is the right age for it (she's coming up 11 in July), but those films are very long and the other two get bored and either hog the computers (although luckily we have 3 plus my phone) or start fighting. Oh the joys of the holidays.

My package has just arrived, but I haven't opened it yet, off to do it now.

Thanks, me too.

I've narrowed it down to either being the eye cream, or I just over cleaned it last night. I figure if it was the new bed my entire body would be having issues right now, which it isn't.. and I did use a lot of stuff last night. I used a face mask and then cleansed, toned and moisturised so I may have just stripped it so much it's reacted. Either way, I'm gonna just see how it goes. Once it clears up I'll use the eye cream again and if it happens I know the culprit.

Ahhh @ that. Yes I suppose that would make sense. I definitely had been checking the MAC website though and there was never any "Out of Stock" so it seems odd for them to tell people that. Thanks though, I hope it does too.

Glad yours has and you've refused it - at least it shouldn't get thrown out as you haven't touched it, right?
