@Rockin Have you tried your Art Deco colours yet? I am using them but the heat means quicker creasing! I went through Stansted and was surprised to see a Mac shop. I got to swatch a lot although Casual Colours was not there. All Reel Sexy lipsticks were gone so I was sad to have swatched Heroine and find it looked nicer than on the web. Hey Sailor was mostly in tact. I think all the lipsticks were there. I tested the glosses but they were all too thick and gloopy for me. I forgot to back up Red Racer but will try on the way home. I ended up with: Beth Ditto - Heart Hangover I'd eyed it before but was not going to get it and then swatched... BD - Nightmoth Lasting Sensation lip pencil for SLV A 219 brush Hey Sailor - Jaunty.

 

[Carriee]

Hey Sailor - Jaunty.

Oh I'm glad there's a MAC in Stansted! I've never flown through it before but I will be in about a week. I just found out that I've passed second year of university so that deserves a little reward, right?

 

[Anitacska]

I still wouldn't bid because a) there is absolutely no mention about how many products your bidding on, b) they say they'll be sending them through the year, but the buyer protecion is only for 60 days and after that you have no means of getting your money back if they stop sending you the products. Yeah, I'm cynical.

I think that ebay listing is actually Benefit themselves. They can't put pictures of what you will get, as it is stuff that has not yet been launched. They are trying to raise money for women's refuges through this and their 'mascarathon' whereby people run for charity. They now have ebay listings for Benefit keyrings as well. Check out their Twitter for information about it @Benefit_UK_IRE

Hey ladies,

Hope you're all doing well. I know this isn't really the place but I really just need to rant about how f**ked up the youth of today are. My 15yr old brother was walking home last night from a friends which is maybe 5mins from here.. he's a big kid, you know, nearly 6ft and really built up.. but he got jumped by 5 people. His forehead is all swollen in different areas as if he was punched and kicked, knees scraped etc. Thankfully that's the only damage but because it was his head we took him to A&E just to make sure there wasn't anything like a concussion. We called the police but unfortunately there isn't much to go off. We're hoping they'll see something from the CCTV that was nearby but they did say it's a slim chance. He said that they just came out of no where and didn't even say anything to him. I'd just really like to know why the heck people think it's okay to be doing this? I'm so angry. I couldn't sleep very well last night, in the end I didn't get to sleep until about 7am just tossing and turning, thinking about things. Not just his health to worry about - and I know it sounds shallow - but he has Prom coming up on the 22nd. I know it's a little ways off but I really hope all the swelling, bruises and marks have gone by then.

Anyway, sorry to rant.. I just needed it out of my system.

As for 10% of Debenhams, I'll now finally re-order the Duo from Reel Sexy I wanted and see if I can find anything else to make it to £40 for the 500 bonus points. I want to buy some more perm e/s's but I can't decide which I want.

Oh that's so horrible, your poor brother! I hope he's not too shaken up and recovers quickly!

 

[Anitacska]

I agree, it's shocking, hope he's okay. When I hear about things like this, it makes me so angry and scared for the safety of my children.

 

[PeachTwist]

Thank you. He's doing alright. One of those people that brushes it off but his face really upsets me at the moment. Was all I could do not to cry my eyes out last night.

[rockin]

(((PeachTwist))) I really hope your brother recovers quickly. It's awful that such a thing can happen to someone just walking along, minding their own business. In a way, I'm glad my son doesn't go off out on his own, for that very reason - he used to get bullied on his way to school back when he would actually leave the house on his own, even having stones thrown at him once and he had done absolutely nothing to them.


@True I've not had a chance to try out my ArtDeco goodies yet, as it's been so dark and dismal here and I wanted to wait until I could see the colours properly. The missing eyeshadow arrived this morning, with an apology note. We've been out most of today with my parents - a meal at the chippy and doing the rounds of the charity shops in town (my son is always on the lookout for HotWheels cars to add to his enormous collection).

Oh wow - I am so sorry. I can't believe the way some people are these days. To throw stones at him for just walking? Absolutely disgusting. Ugh, I get so annoyed by this kind of thing. Thank you, though. He seems to be his same old self just with lots of swollen bruising on his forehead. This type of thing really makes me hate the human race in general and it shouldn't, but to think of just how many mindless scum out there do this type of thing really makes you wonder what the world is becoming. Sigh.

 

[Anitacska]

Thanks. It really does - you always think about it when you hear about it on the news or elsewhere, but when it actually happens you're just stunned.

Also I wanted to say I'm really sorry about what happened with CSA over the swimming pool "incident" - that's so ridiculous. You shouldn't have had to go through that.

Thank you. We haven't heard anything since, no calls, no letters, not even an apology for them not turning up. I don't know what's going on. I hope they're gonna just let it go, clearly it wasn't that important, but we'll see.

On another note, I went shopping with my eldest today because her class are going on a trip to France week after next and we needed some boots, waterproof clothes, etc. Popped into TKMaxx and picked up two packs of Nails Inc polishes (I really should stop going in there, I always end up buying more and more nail polish) and a really nice meerkat washbag for my daughter. Also went to Boots and bought the Bourjois nail polish remover that everyone is raving about. I went to Tesco earlier and picked up two of the Barbara Daly eyeshadow sticks and a nail polish as well as two of the new swirly L'Oreal glosses.

 

[PeachTwist]

Fingers crossed for you they'll just let it go.

I'm trying to decide what to order from Debenhams. I know I want the Duo 3 from RS, but I figured I'd spend £40 for the 500 bonus points thing I saw. Decided I'd get some stuff from the perm range but I have no idea what to get. I hate when this happens, I get over whelmed and can't decide. :/

Don't let the points sucker you in, save it til something comes out you really want .

 

[PeachTwist]

See that's the problem - I want everything. I just can never decide, lol. I think a lot of my problem is when ordering I think of what I have, will I be able to make a look from it with what I have etc and then I get stumped. Lol. It'd be a lot easier if I had a counter or store nearby to play with things and find the ones I want "first" if that makes sense. I'm thinking I may just get a couple brushes though as I don't have any MAC brushes yet. I get suckered into the make-up XD

I'm so sorry to hear about this - it is really scarey Luckily three of mine walk home together from the bus, and it does reassure me - one kid a couple of years older than them used to get terrible trouble when he finished his walk home from the bus on his own - stones, pushed over, school bag stolen, the lot. Eventually his mother got him to stay at school until late and picked him up when she finished work - he's not a small kid either, they just got brave because it was as many as four of them against one. Not good.

That sounds awful, I hope he gets well soon and they catch whoever attacked him!

 

[PeachTwist]

Ok. Debenhams order here I come! Lol.

Duo 3 from RS, 239, 217 and Sumptuous Olive. Yay, my first 2 MAC brushes!

 

[rockin]

The 239 and 217 are a perfect choice for your first MAC brushes I have Sumptuous Olive too, and it's a beautiful colour

 

[True]

Hmm, I might just stick to MAC liners for now. I wish I could find NYX in a shop. Let me know how you like Lasting Sensation Oh I'm glad there's a MAC in Stansted! I've never flown through it before but I will be in about a week. I just found out that I've passed second year of university so that deserves a little reward, right?

I had no idea that you could not shop on you way back to the UK so I couldn't back up Red Racer which is a hero red for me. I only ever see bits of NYX in TKMaxx but only the shadow palettes. I've not tried LS but will be back to let you know what it's like. Well done on passing second year! Maybe a treat to prepare you for the next one! Looking at the weather here, I wish I was still away!

I wore my Pure Bronze nail polish from Art Deco and it seems like a good match to To Catch A Sailor lipstick maybe just a little warmer. I'm still very happy with what I got so thanks for the code :encore:

 

[PeachTwist]

Thank you. I'm glad yours walk home together. I wish I understood why kids acted like they do, it's so unnecessary. I think that's why they did it though, because there was more than one of them. He's a really big kid and had it been just one, he wouldn't have ended up so hurt.
