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?

It does sound like you might have over-cleansed it.

Yes, by refusing the delivery rather than accepting and returning it, I figured that the blushes would be saved from being thrown out.

Lol - between my five we get the Pokemon variations, Harry Potter AND the current favourite - Princess Diaries! And my ten-year-old loves to play the Professor Layton music on YouTube as loud as he can get away with! And singing along...

I think we could all do with getting some ear defenders LOL

 

[Anitacska]

Five? Oh my. I "only" have three and that's bad enough.

But I do feel a bit better, as dh was off work yesterday and I managed to sneak out to Epsom (to pay in cheques...) and quickly browse a few shops! Managed to pick up the things I want from Estee Lauder new release in HOF - the eyeshadow palette, the Illuminating Powder Gelee, the double ended kohl pencil AND the lip gloss!! They're as lovely as I'd hoped Apparently they are exclusive to HOF atm. Then, walking past Superdrug, I just happened to go in and find a few of the new Sleek 'Ooh La La' eye pencils - they seem to be great too! Then I got back to my two Debenhams orders on the doorstep - somehow DH hadn't heard the doorbell - probably all the sound effects Lucky really, as that wouldn't have gone down too well! Viv x

 

[Anitacska]

You sound so much like me, lol! I was just saying that on Saturday when my two Debenhams orders came, dh was out food shopping (my car wouldn't start), so he didn't see them arrive!

Ooh I want the Estee Lauder palette and powder, but I can't see it online, so have to hope HoF still has them in stock when I go to Guildford sometime next week. I also want to check out the new Sleek eye pencils.

I've been trying to photograph and swatch the ED shadows and skinfinishes plus the blushes for my blog, but keep getting called downstairs all the time. I do like the shadows a lot, but they are so similar to the Barbara Daly ones, so if you like these, check those out, because they are half price of the Mac ones!

Lol! I have been known to say that an order is just underwear for the kids if a large parcel from Debenhams arrives when I'm at work

. Funny that he's never spotted that the kids underwear usually comes from Next in separate packages....

 

[PeachTwist]

I fell asleep and woke up to my package here.

Immortal Flower is SO pale. I'm really surprised by it. Looks like it'd need a lot of layering. Pink Tea is pretty though. I kind of want more, lol.

 

[Anitacska]

I agree, I was surprised about Immortal Flower. I actually think Pink Tea looks a bit pale too. I still haven't swatched any of them... ugh.

Both where instock last week, as soon as I was going to log on to post here they had sold out, no surprise there but probably most likely due to the fact the Estee Lauder only made a limited quantity of each. I think I might purchase the highlighter when Debenhams receive the collection but I'll try to resist!

 

[PeachTwist]

Pink Tea is actually quite pale too. I lightly swatched when I woke up half asleep. I had to layer THREE times to get colour on my hand... I'm only roughly NC15.. I'm kinda... I dunno. Slightly disappointed?

At the same time though, I bought Fleur Power ages ago because it's so gorgeous - I still haven't managed to use it without looking insanely bright.. so I suppose I'd rather add layers than be trying to remove it.

Have you seen what happened to gossmakeupartist with his Clarisonic? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHST22gqS4o

 

[Anitacska]

I hate these extremely limited editions. I only just heard HoF had them exclusively and they're sold out already. What is the point of that??? Oh well, I'll get them from Debenhams.

Hmm, well I guess I won't bother with buying the deep pore cleansing brush head then.

I'm sorry, but I don't think the brush head has anything to do with his acne. If I remember correctly, he had acne breakouts before (unrelated to the Clarisonic). It might simply be a coincidence that he experienced another break out while use another brush head. The only difference between the regular brush head and the deep cleansing one is an extra layer of bristles.

 

[Alisha1]

I know me too, when I saw the EL Gelee Eyeshadow quad there was 2 left both of which sold out by the time I was about to post the link on here.

 

[LMD84]

Just a quick heads up before i start working but i have just posted loads of new colour stories up and i used the deep pore brush head and have been fine with it! i am now using the acne brush head. plus i have sensitive skin and react to anything usually... weird

isn't happy with mac

My Mac order with my 3 blushes from arrived yesterday, I tracked it whilst at work and it said it had been signed forr, whoop, my parents were home so fine.

However when I got in I found that my parents had been out over lunch time/early afternoon and that the yodel man must have signed for it himself and left it on the doorstep.

We had a big rain storm yesterday and the cardbox/packaging was so wet/soaked it disintergrated when my parents tried to pick it up, all the boxes are damaged and water has got inside the immortmal flower and lovecloud blushes.

I rung MAC customer services this morning and they basically said its not their problem as the order had been signed for, even though it was signed for by yodel man!

I think that this is the final straw for me, will be ordering any mac from debenhams now.

I am just soo annoyed!

That sounds horrible I can't believe MAC didn't do anything! If I was you I'd just ring MAC CS again and hopefully you will speak to someone that will help with a replacement. I've dealt with MAC CS before and they have always been very helpful so you might have been unlucky and spoken to someone who just wasn't bothered. Definitely try ringing again, hope everything get sorted!

 

[Anitacska]

It is bloody well their problem because you ordered from them, not Yodel, so it's their responsibility to sort it out and send you a replacement. Then they can go to Yodel and sort it out between themselves. I agree, phone back and ask for the manager if you have to, that always helps!
