My biggest concern would be checking out accommodation if I'm honest.

VERRRRY sensible. My son (now aged nineteen) didn't do the general open days, just the two for the unis that gave him offers he was interested in. He got accepted at his insurance offer in the end, and DIDN'T get accommodation - ended up in 'digs' about seven miles from the uni, very isolated. He's a quiet sort of kid, fairly shy, and ended up getting extremely depressed/isolated/totally in a mess. He got so bad he wasn't even working - yes, attended every lecture, but no more He finished after just two terms back at Easter, and is really only now getting over it all. So my advice would be to go to somewhere that will give you accommodation tbh, or at least can offer some help to find something in the same town as the university. I think it's because of all this that I'm taking my daughter all over - though I did say that it had to be ones relatively local to us! She also likes Sheffield, but I would only take her there if she got a serious offer. I loved Durham when I was applying, and it was my second choice.

I love the look of that quad - I love all of the collection, but can't afford it all, even after a 'sort of' no-buy - OK, I caved and bought the Guacamole and Moth Brown. I couldn't believe how quickly they arrived - AND they arrived with the Royal Mail, NOT my YODEL delivery man, who always makes nasty comments about me buying things again I don't think I can afford the powder, and will see about what else!

I see you're in Holland - LOVE Holland! We've spent two weeks each year in Gelderland in august for about twelve years now!

It's sheer, but buildable. Because it's Shine Automatique, I was expecting it to be sheer anyway, it doesn't bother me. I think it's very pretty though and well worth swatching for yourself. The picture below took 5 swipes:

Yep, I've fallen into that trap as well. The colour seems to be over-saturated in her lip swatches.

By the way, Anita! Thanks for the compliment about my new avatar you made the other day! I've been busy mainly with work again, so have gone into a lurking mode for a while. I was also trying to put some money aside for my driving lessons, so going on Specktra often would put my wallet to too much risk. But I guess, all the makeup sales we've been having here in September brought the addict back to her spiritual home for a while.

i'm really sorry to hear that about your son. i saw that happen to a few people when i was at uni. i guess it depends on different personality types because i actually didn't get uni accomodation either and actually ended up renting non student accomodation (i worked part time just to afford to live!) I was well away from campus and other student digs however it actually didn't bother me and in some ways i prefered it. It made me make a huge effort to talk to different people to make friends so i actually ended up having a bigger friendship circle than those who were in the uni rooms because all they did was stick with their flat mates. Plus i was never into going out every night and getting drunk so the thought of sharing a house with people that did that would have killed me! If I were to do it again I would certainly live off campus however perhaps not somewhere quite so expensive!!

How weird. My two black boxes have just arrived with the postman. I actually only placed the order on Wednesday evening, so this was quicker than the Yodel delivery (as that one arrived at 5 pm 2 days after ordering). Last night both were still showing as "In Warehouse" as well! These ones are all my CPs of mainly BR for US, Canada, Italy and Holland.

 

[rockin]

My MAC order from 2 days ago is still showing as 'In Warehouse'.

 

[Anitacska]

Like I said so was mine and it arrived this morning with the normal postman.

[rockin]

Postie time has been and gone here, so it's not coming with the post today. Still a chance that Yodel could deliver it, though

 

[MakeMeUp79]

My items came by the regular postman yesterday. I was at home when he came but he left my box on the doorstep!! he did not even bother ringing the bell!! oh and It is still showing as in warehouse on the mac site.

 

[rockin]

How strange that some of you are having the postie deliver your parcels. Perhaps MAC have received too many complaints about Yodel? I've had no problems at all with Yodel (yet) but I know many people have.

 

[Anitacska]

I've never had problems with Yodel myself.

While my postman rang the bell, I didn't have to sign for either parcels. It's weird because one was actually quite valuable (£91.50)!

I've had no problems with yodel either. In fact, at one point the was one guy that kept delivering my MAC packages and he was so nice that he would come back later the same day to deliver it if nobody was in in the morning. I've not seen him for a while now, though
It is strange that Royal Mail delivers MAC packages now.. but then, if you are not in, you can easily pick them up from the post office rather than waiting for Yodel redeliver...

It's a 45 minute walk each way to the sorting office where I would have to collect, as I don't have a car. They make you wait at least 24 hours before you can collect too.

Until recently, our Yodel man was someone who lived in the next street, so he would come back later if nobody was in.

Ok, this not the best option for everyone. Yodel always delivers when I'm at work so I have to wait a few days untill I get my box if not lucky, my hours alwas change. I actually live 40min walk away from the post office but that won't stop me from getting the to the opening hours lol I'm fine either way tbh.

I forgot to add that I walk near enough everyday to work for 40min one way.. So yeah, that definitely doesn't stop me

If you get a card, you can ring your sorting office and they'll redeliver the next day free of charge.

Thank you - not so bothered about these, can quite probably give them a miss

Not next day, unfortunately. You can never get through on the phone to pur sorting office (have waited the best part of an hour before now, and then got put through to a message asking for my code number or something). You can request redelivery online, but next day is not given as an option. The earliest is the second working day after the attempted delivery.

 

[gracie90]

My BR box was attempted to be delivered on Wednesday, so I rescheduled it for next Tuesday as that's the only time I'll be in the house all day!
Well, I got another card for it on Thursday, but when I phoned up Yodel they gave me the courier's mobile number. I rang him and he was nearby so dropped off my box 5 minutes later! Yay
I got all my CP stuff ok, and Moxie, Jete and Moth Brown for me!
Moxie is very pink and pretty, and I LOVE Jete, as expected! It's like a perfect mix of Jest and All That Glitters

Also I really like MB!

 

[Anitacska]

I have phoned up before and asked for next day redelivery, but I guess it depends on which office you call. Mine are very helpful and easy to contact.
