Did anyone else notice no rating from t?

Me too

I now want 2 of the lipgloss sets and at least one of the pigment sets. Damn T's swatches!

Here is a site that has it and no shipping costs! http://www.lookfantastic.com/brands...ondon-nail-polish/butter-london-glitters.list

Thanks!

Girl you're in trouble. Lol.

Though saying that I'd love the hanging travel bag but I hate animal print. I just find it horrible and tacky - I know I'm probably the only one on earth who doesn't like it but for the price I can't justify it when I detest the look of it. If the lace was on the outside and inside, I'd probably be sold though.

EDIT: My order has been showing as "In Warehouse" since last night. I swear I better not have the problems I did with the MM collection or I'll flip a lid.

I'd like to have BK, since Everything that Glitters seems to be such poor quality. I only saw one on ebay but including shipping it will cost me more than a Chanel polish. Where did you get yours if I may ask?

Another option would be a German Douglas, if you're in the area! the polishes are about 16€ here, iirc.

Mine shows as in Warehouse as well. I think I won't get it till monday ( it's too long to wait... They will probably try to deliver on friday but I'm going away to see my family. Oh well, family is more important than make up))

Thanks!

No problem I've ordered from that site before and it arrived fast and safetly. I also like that they have a lot of brands that are harder to find in the netherlands.

I'm hoping they ship it today, if so it'll be here tomorrow. Otherwise I hope for Friday morning at the latest. I'm going away Friday afternoon and I'd love to take GD, SV and WOG with me!

Seconded re: Lookfantastic. I ordered several times from them and experienced no problems.

Bath & Unwind are also great.

OK I know Australia is always miles behind but....... IM GOING TO THE LAUNCH FOR GD AT MY LOCAL STORE AND IM SO EXCITED I COULD BURST!!!

Just sucks I have to wait until 23rd November

23rd? Hardly the launch. Part 1 comes out Nov 5 and Part 2 on Nov 19. So they're going to launch after they've been released? How do you get an invite? I've been stalking my local counter (DJs on the Gold Coast) and asking about the collection, but all they tell me is the release date and then go back to ignoring customers!

Thanks I didn't know about Bath & Unwind.

 

[kimibos]

good for you! what did you get?

re: Black Knight - give it a go! I've only worn mine once (and it's been a long time since) but I don't recall any problems with peeling. At least no more than other glitter polishes. Your base coat could also be a contributing factor - I used to have a lot more peeling when I used Nailtek II and Orly Armor. I started using Nail Doctor Rescue Me about 4 months ago because my nails were going through a rough patch and I was very pleased to find that it makes a great base for nail colour (and it's really improved the condition of my nails too

)
i got
China Glaze -Glitter All The Way
China Glaze -Elephant Walk
China Glaze -Man Hunt
ESSIE-Where's My Chauffeur?
ESSIE-Bikini so teeny
Color CLub -In The Limelight
Color CLub -Blue-ming
Color CLub -Hydrangea Kiss
China Glaze -Pizzazz

i payed $41. i hate their shipping is like $8. it makes you feel miserable. you pay like $2.50 for CG the $3 for CC and $5 for essie. good deal but the bam! you have to pay shipping. im spoiled by others and their free shipping.

The eye look she did is gorgeous!


Credit for the pic goes to Christine obviously!

Before I saw this, I'd talked myself out of getting the pigmentsets. Then after seeing this, I thought I would be putting them back on my list. But then I read her review, and I've managed to talk myself out of it again (at least for the moment). We'll see if this lasts!

Thanks! Next time I'll visit Aachen I will check that out!

I just realised that I could do my entire face of makeup with the pink brush set alone...
Has anyone washed theirs? My mineralise set from last year turned green and I had to return them and their cute glittery handles

same here. Which is why I avoid the brush sets, but I'm so tempted. I had another set that fell a part. I got that one three holidays

So seriously, how good/bad are they?

This is exactly what I want to know! I also really like the bags they come in

 

[kimibos]

^^^ what??? mine are ok, i wash them like every time i use them. good thing you got your money back gracie. to me they are just ok. definitely not bad.

 

[MACerette]

I cannot believe that lookfantastic just sold out black night in front of my eyes...

Glad I've got alternatives...
