i still havent managed to pick these up and to be honest i think i will have to wait until payday! i have spent so much this month on things for myself that i'd feel guilty if i bought anything else. the gold looks amazing but i will get the pink one too because i think it looks like it will look ok on me - usually i am funny with pink shades because they don't look right on me.

Well I got a customs slip in the mail on Saturday.
I'm thinking it's from the US.. I bought some stuff on here from a girl in Aus but there's no way that's arrived this quickly.
Charge is £17 -- not happy but suppose it's at least cheaper than was expecting. I'm going to let her know that I'm definitely having to pay for it though. Typically it's at the main post office which makes it difficult for me to get to. I'll have to wait till Tuesday to pick it up after I've been at college.

Oh that's such a shame - I hate it when that happens - and as you say, they always take it to somewhere difficult to get it from - so not only do you have to pay, you have the inconvenience of going to get it
I left something (not makeup) until the last minute, now it's been sent back, as I've been looking after my fourteen year old, who's been seriously ill - had an appendix go very seriously wrong. he was in hospital for two days with a burst appendix before they removed it. After nearly three hours in the operating theatre they said he was lucky to have made it. Now ten days later he is sitting in a&e with my husband as his drain wound seems to be infected. I've actually gone three plus weeks without wearing any makeup most days as I've been living out of the hospital, and I actually couldn't be bothered.
Getting interested in the new Guerlain/Estee Lauder collections approaching though, so my addiction's not totally cured!

Oh no, poor you and your son. Hope he recovers quickly.
And yay to the upcoming Guerlain and Estee Lauder collections (and Chanel).

Did you hear about the Gosh holo nail polish coming back? Went to Superdrug today, but it wasn't out yet. Apparently it's gonna be permanent this time. Hope I can finally buy it without having to fork out £25 on eBay. It's called One Night Only due to it's laughable staying power. But still, I need to try it.

Thank you
My parents took us out for a meal yesterday. They also gave me £25 and Mum was trying to persuade me to buy a skirt with it. My sister sent me a 4GB USB memory stick.Sorry to hear about your son. I hope he is on the road to recovery and will be home with you soon.

I do too - I'm not happy. I was going to go collect it today but I've been unwell so will have to do it tomorrow. It'll take 2 buses to get there and 2 home - I'm not happy to say the least.Oh that's such a shame - I hate it when that happens - and as you say, they always take it to somewhere difficult to get it from - so not only do you have to pay, you have the inconvenience of going to get it

I really hope your son is recovering okay! Thinking of him and hoping for a well and speedy recovery - though I can totally understand why make-up isn't on your priority list at the moment.

Happy belated birthday from me as well, Dawn!
I've been staying away from Specktra, as I'm trying to save up for driving lessons I'm hoping to take in the autumn.
I hope your son will get better very soon, Viv!
I got a nasty ear infection around the same time you did, Lou. I gave my earphones to a colleague, so he could watch a youtube video on my phone, and the next morning I woke up with pain in my ear. I was so angry that he didn't warn me about it
and freaked out, as I've never had any problems with my ears, and out of a sudden I couldn't even hear well. Lesson learnt though...
I've been wanting to get me some holo nailpolish for ever, after finding pictures of China Glaze OMG polishes, and didn't realize that there are quite a few that have been released by other brands, which are not as crazy pricey. I need to do some more research, but never seem to find time for it, being not a nail polish person. Which ones are your favourites? I think I will also be trying the Gosh one, since it's easy to just pick it up from a drugstore. There is hoping that they've reformulated it to make it a bit more long-lasting.

Apparently there's some new China Glaze holo polishes coming out in the spring, someone put up a picture on Facebook. Also there are some new Color Club ones coming out in the autumn too.
My personal favourites are the Glitter Gal ones, they are quite reasonably priced. You can buy them from here (UK site): http://sjmwellnails.weebly.com/holographic--sparkles.html I also like the Layla ones as well, they are nicely holographic and come in lots of lovely colours. You can get them from here: http://www.simplyoccasions.net/Layla%20Cosmetics%20Holographic%20polishes.htm There's also some nice Color Club and A-England ones to check out, but they are a more subtle holographic, and there are lots of other brands on this site: http://shop.llarowe.com/main.sc

So I picked up my package.
She got me 3 MAC lipsticks. Ruffian Red, Viva Glam Cyndi and RazzleDazzler amongst other items. I already have a tube of RazzleDazzler so thought I'd offer it to anyone on here for the price of a regular MAC lipstick + shipping to you and I'll just buy a different colour that I want. It's BNIB, of course. Unopened, unswatched.

Great, thank you! I remember liking the swatches of Layla a lot, so I'll definitely will check it out! Awesome news on new China Glaze ones as well
Ooh I wonder where she got VG Cyndi (or maybe it was a backup?). I've gotten to the point of having to dig mine out with a lip brush.

I think it must have been a backup. It was definitely BNIB. I haven't worn it yet but liked it swatched.

I'm so upset.
I was just doing some dusting in the living room and noticed someone had put some wires near my Moms glass ornaments. I went to pick it up and it knocked her glass ship in a bottle and broke it. She's had it longer than I've been alive - my Dad bought it for her. I'm trying to find somewhere to buy her a new one but I can't seem to find one. The one UK place I found - their shop isn't online and I just e-mailed them to have a reply from o2 saying the e-mail wasn't delivered to their blackberry. Hopefully it at least arrived in their inbox.

Ah, that's just too bad for you both
How lovely of you to be doing the dusting - can't see any of mine doing that! I hope you find something soon.

Well, my son's doing a bit better - but, typical teenager, he's trying to do too much of course! At least he's back to being starving hungry 24/7, and is bored with being confined to barracks - both good signs I think Now he's fast asleep in bed already (21:43). The other day I took advantage of a little retail therapy - I bought a couple of Shiseido Shimmering Rouge Lipsticks after seeing them on a blog somewhere. Well, they arrived today and I am in love! I bought a couple of red-based shades, and they actually suit me! I wonder if Japanese brands are good for me, as I'm so pale, and the colours don't look so glaring as most reds that I've tried in the past. I was naughty and spent over £75, and got a free Biba Summer Lips Palette - it's really nice, and has a good brush with it, and I'm thinking it just might do for our holiday later in August to The Netherlands, where makeup is fairly low-key, but all those Dutch/German women are always wearing just a little to look so 'naturally' good!

Gracie did a chat with Mac a while back and they said this:
Gracie: Oh, are there any new MAC collections coming out in August that you know of?
Sarah: Yes
Sarah: Should be ELECTRIC COOL EYE SHADOW
Sarah: M.A.C NAIL LACQUERS
Sarah: MAC ILLUSTRATED
I'm away right now and I'm not sure I even know what I want, so will check things out at the weekend hopefully.
