Nice list
3 of those are on their way to me as I type. I hope things go smoothly this time. Today I received one of the Cult orders I placed in friggin February. Turns out that the address labels they printed out from theit system didn't have the street name and number (I had the full university and faculty names in the first address line and the street name and number on the second). Two of the boxes went back to the seller and they sent them back to me. The third one's still awol. I e-mailed them today to thank them for box nr.2 and ask them if nr.3 made its way back too.
LLarowe promised they'd sent the order that USPS botched up, so I'm not worried about that one very much (though I may have a bone to pick with a certain NPA who's recently turned her attention to indies if any of the items are out of stock
). What I'm worried about is the CP. It had quite a few pieces from N&M and I have no other way of getting hold of them. My heart skipped a beat when the doorbell rang this morning but no such luck.
I haven't been following the threads much so I had no idea
Brushes are one of the things that Ilamasqua does best, IMO. NP=Brush>>>Blush.
Their lippies are mediocre at best, despite the amazing colours. Their glosses are marginally better (but I could be saying this because of my undying love for Facade, which I think has been DCd). I could live very happily without my Barber piggie and, having swatched them during a trip to Leeds some years ago, their eyeshadows are meh. I got some liquid liners, a lip liner and a fat eye pencil in the January sale but I have yet to wear them.

I used to really like her, but yes, she's got a bit too big for her boots and I don't like her any more. Her swatches are usually not at all colour accurate, and lately I've noticed that some of her pictures are horribly overexposed, some white nail polish caps are barely visible against the white background. Anyway, if you don't like her, don't look at the website, that's what I've started doing lately...
This was the first time I've ever noticed the sticker. For the most part, I take her reviews w/a grain of salt because I don't think she maximizes use of the products---like eye shadow. She does the same placement every time, which doesn't always show the products potential and worth. Then she gives the product a poor rating. You can take that same product, put it in the hands of someone with a few application skills and the difference is like night & day. Not trashing....just saying!!!

Would you mind peeling off one of the stickers from one of your boxes to see if it removes easily? I ordered YSL Rose Baby Doll yesterday. I was waiting for a payment to post on my card before ordering, but decided to use a Nordstrom note to get it for free. I also ordered YSL Corail Divin and Prune Minimale. I haven't really seen Prune Minimale available at other places, so I thought what the hay.
That was the result of some late night shopping that carried over into today. Beauty.com extended their 20% Friends & Family. I got more NARS products including Disco Inferno, Madness, and the Sharplines Duo. I put the Chanel summer polishes on hold with my Saks SA. They're having an event on my b-day and I made an appt. to get my makeup done.

I actually removed the T recommends sticker from my Noble. I like her swatches, but she's got too big for her boots. It's amazing how some people hang onto her every word. I agree her followers will be all over anything with a T sticker though. Stick one on a loo roll and watch it fly off the shelves!

Now I must check out ManGlaze. I recall the brand being mentioned in this thread earlier in the week, but I hadn't googled them yet. I'm intrigued.Oh Anneri, don't listen to her. Be a devil and wear this as your wedding mani:

Will do CC & report back. YSL Corail Divin looks good enough to eat...not to worry---I'm just using it on my nails
You must promise to take AND post a picture of your birthday makeup----it's not that far away!

They don't have a large range of colours so one haul should be enough for the whole lot

Me neither. I have them for business and barely keep up with them, but I don't have any personal accounts. There would be tumble weeds blowing through my pages because I wouldn't maintain them. The South Park episode about Facebook is so true, and Twitter would make me a twit.Me either Buick...I don't FB or Tweet/Twat

Thank youThat might explain at least part of your problems. I had some difficulties with Llarowe at first because the name of my work was always left out of their sticker even though I had written it on the line reserved for a company name. Although I don't really need more than my name and a street address for my packages these days as the postman delivers like a package a day on some weeks. Hope your goodies will arrive home soon & safely!
It's not the end of the world but it still sucks.

It's due to the weather I think. Here it's 11 ° C ( now tonight ), which is very unusual for May !Zoya's Blu is very pretty. The polish was opaque with one coat and applied beautifully. It's very dark and cloudy here today so a pic isn't feasible...maybe tomorrow. I topped Blu with Dior's Crystal andva va voom!

Yes Zoya Blu is lovely, it's so pastel. Dior's Crystal ? Is it the gel topcoat ?

CC, I picked the Illamasqua Pink Rain Drops box out of the trash just for you!
I was able to remove the label without nicking or marring the box at all. Allow me to demonstrate:
