I was devastated I missed the dragon meteorites half price in house of Fraser in Leeds! Ice ordered some off eBay now for 36.00 but the seller hasn't replied to my message and has no feedback. Oops.

Thanks! Appreciate it!
I'll be calling CS for a refund of the £2.50.

It's weird how much more quickly Guerlain products have sold out this time. Maybe Guerlain is getting more popular. I'm still hoping to find the voyage powder next week in London, last time I was in Beauty Base in Westfield they had loads of the summer collection products on sale there. Fingers crossed.
If you paid by Paypal, don't worry, you'll get a refund if you don't receive the Meteorites.

I contacted MAC via the email function on the website and just recieved this back -
Please accept my apologies that you were over charged for the Apres Lipstick, I can now see that our website has been updated.
I have arranged for a complimentary lipstick to be sent out to you to compensate for the price difference.
You should recieve this in the next 2 - 5 working days separate to your main order.
No mention of what colour lipstick or anything which is a bit wierd you'd think they'd ask first!
I hope they don't send out another Hot Chocolate

I am sure it was much more recent than last January that they increased the price of their lippies from £13.50 to £14 along side other things

So are they refunding you the £2.50 as well as sending you a free lipstick? How odd!

No i don't believe they are but i've emailed them back asking more questions. It does seem a very odd way of doing things

My local independant department store had loads of metorites and Liu palettes on Christmas eve, I haven't been in since but will have another look on Monday when I pop into town in my lunch hour. There was only one voyage powder which I snapped up, but they also had loads of Altoum and no LouLing Lipsticks. I have used my Metorities and Voyage powder and
I also picked up the Liu palette, which I haven't opened yet, not sure I need it or will use it, considering selling it now as it feels a little bit indulgent. If anyone is interest I will sell it for what I paid (£27) plus postage which I would expect to be £3.
I went to the sales in Norwich yesterday with my mum and the guerlain counters everywhere had been well and truely raided! I did pick up some nice clothes and shoes for the work wardrobe and avoided buying anymore make up
Decided to ignore MAC in January, I think I am getting a little Mac'd out, I definately don't haul from MAC like I used too, I seem to be trying other higher end brands instead. Although the concealer palette is really calling my name!
I am feeling guilty about my Xmas eve guerlain haul and spending too much in the Space NK Sale, I don't really need anything else as I don't use what i have, thinking I really might be hitting saturation point. I received an UD BOS and some MAC for xmas as presents and I was touched they new me well enough, but equally I haven't touched it yet, suggesting I am not that excited?
Planning on tidying up again this weekend and adding to my specktra sale with bits I never use, hopefully that will make me feel a little bit better.
Not sure what to do in 2013, I am after some advice ladies, do I
- just say no more for a specific period of time (3mth/6mth/12mths)
- go on a project use it up, if so how many?
- ban specific product type i.e. eyeshadows/blushes or Lipsticks?
- one in one out?
- Set a specific low make up budget (something I don't have at the moment)
I ought to do something as I wanted an expensive holiday this year and I should really be saving a mortgage deposit.
Is anyone else considering any of these options for 2013? It would be easier if I could find someone to do it with for motivation/keep me on the straight and narrow!
Maybe we could have a separate project pan thread which everyone could document what they finished/used up in even if they aren't on a no buy?

I went to the sales on boxing day and some of the guerlain products where selling like hot cakes! I never saw any of the Meteorites but luckily I bought them with some debenhams points before the sales.
Did you purchase the christmas pressed meteorites? Would you say it's a must have?

Well i got a response no refund but I did find out i'm getting Ramblas Red so not even one from Apres Chic. I thought Ramblas Red was unavailable as it was LE but maybe they use stock for the CCO in these situations.

HI I did a live chat with MAC as I had paid £16.50 for hot chocolate lippie. They offered me a free lipstick, the choice wasn't great and and couple that I asked for were saying in stock on their website but on livechat they said they didn't have any.
In the end after much back and forth they are sending out lustering which I am pleased about as it was on my hit list. They didn't mention refunding the £2.50 as well but I dont mind in this case.

I've been on a lip product no-buy for a couple of months now, although I have bought a very few lipsticks, nothing like I did before I went on a no-buy. My biggest problem at the moment is nail polish, I've bought so many this year, I now have 700 bottles, which is just crazy! I have absolutely no storage space left for make up or nail polish, and have more stuff than I could ever use up. (Yet I have just bought back ups of expensive Guerlain stuff.) *sigh*
