Nope -- didn't manage to get what I wanted. I wanted Heaux and RiRi Woo, but paypal decided to decline my payment twice. By the time I got back to the checkout, Heaux was sold out. I'm really annoyed. I then went to Live Chat to ask just how limited of quantity they received, she was trying to tell me MAC Red lipstick is a good alternative.
They might get more stock anyway, it's on back order in the US... I know that necessarily doesn't mean anything for us in the UK but it does mean they are producing more...

I'm skipping the Rihanna collection too, I feel really good about it. I have the Dior blush/bronzer duo and the girl at the MAC stand gave me a sample of Lustre Drops from the Baking Beauties collection. I bought RiRi Woo the first time round and I think Heaux will look dark on me and make me seem older (I don't have large lips). As for RiRi Boy, that's the most exciting product but I'm unsure how it would look and if it would make my teeth look yellow. As it's similar to Up The Amp I'll try that one in the stand one day :)

If you want me to get it in Spain I'll get it for you and send it to you. I have British family (I'm British but I'm living in Spain). Here in Spain the lipsticks are 19 euros but if you want me to get it I will no problem. But tell me soon before it runs out, lol

Yup. I'm just infuriated. It took 17mins including me being in the waiting room, paypal error twice and then typing in my details for Heaux to sell out. 17mins -- the US had it for HOURS before it sold out.

Thanks -- I'll pass. I'm not willing to pay more than I'd pay for it here, lol. I'm just so annoyed with them. and Paypal. If they hadn't brought up the "Error, return to merchant" shit TWICE, I'd have gotten it.

Yeah I understand. It's annoying that beauty products are more expensive in Spain, we have the ultra-high VAT on them and they are more expensive anyway. I end up buying here because otherwise I'd miss stuff and I'm impatient, lol!

It really is! The price increase just from the UK and the US is ridiculous. £4 more for a lipstick here than there. Almost makes you want to CP everything. The issue is patience and wanting goodies now, not in 1-2 weeks, lol.

Did PayPal fuck you over too? It really is!  The price increase just from the UK and the US is ridiculous.  £4 more for a lipstick here than there.  Almost makes you want to CP everything.  The issue is patience and wanting goodies now, not in 1-2 weeks, lol.
Yep, was in waiting room on my MacBook and my phone. Phone was quicker so I went to check out with PayPal and got an error, went back to pay with card and it was gone. It's almost like they saw that Riri took ages to sell out last time so they got a smaller shipment. The price difference with palettes is the worst, about a tenner! It's silly. Australia is the worst for that. Did you get that Heaux from your US person? Sorry I didn't reply to that earlier, was so busy yesterday! If you said yes to Riri Boy and don't want it I could take it off your hands, otherwise no worries. They're unlikely to restock everything here aren't they? I keep refreshing but I realise it's probably pointless.

Did anyone else get an email from Illamasqua? If you log in, there is a sale section that is only visible to members - up to 70% off. Not everything is included in the sale, though.

I got both of them, they're quite nice, but a lot of hassle. The copper one is better, the taupe one is not great at all. I forgot to take my primer with me when I went to Sweden, so I wore them without primer, the copper one was nice, but the other one wouldn't apply evenly or blend well. Ugh. Also, the fallout during application was ridiculous! Not a big fan of them to be honest.

Really I'll have to get eyeslix as well then! Lol I've been using the Benfit one as I received a sample some time ago and I'm not noticing much except that it is hydrating :/ lol
That's true makeup just looks better on good skin, I'm hoping my bumpy forehead is sorted out lol
Lol yeah the past few days have been hot though it was raining in the morning :/

My EH cleansing balms have not come today so I guess they're arriving tomorrow :/ Really don't like Hermes wish QVC poster via yodel!

That's true I am warm toned so I like gold/greens - which reminds me I really need to get the coppery eyeshadow pigment from Guerlains summer collection! I think it'll look great with brown eyes and amazing with blue eyes! I think I have a few purple eyeshadows - might play around with them to see how I like them :)

I posted one a while ago but can't remember it - it's one per customer though but it might be worth going through the old posts :)

Really oh no - I know Temptalia had similar problems and the amount of product for the price is also crazy but I think I'm just head over heels for the copper shade! Good to know I can skip the taupe though :)

Yup, same thing to me. I can't believe that error. Twice I got it, by the time I went to pay with my card it was gone. I was so upset.
Yeah I can't believe palette prices! I may get them CP'd because I can't justify £20 a palette when I need about 8 of them.
I'm getting Heaux, yes. Don't apologise about not replying -- I have said I'll take RiRi Boy from her however I'm trying to get you a Heaux and RiRi Boy if you'd like them both? I have someone else I can ask to see if I can get them both.
Yeah they won't be restocking -- I asked when I did a Live Chat and she said they won't be. Upset really isn't the word.

Got the e-mail. I'd have purchased if they had blushes in the sale but they didn't.

Has anyone used the Clarins BB cream? I know it's been out a while. I had makeovers today with my ex MIL and what the heck. T he lady chose 02 medium for me and it was at least 3-4 shades darker than my skin tone. I'm not exactly pale, I wear Chanel in 25/30! I bought it in 01 in the end, I just don't see how she thought the one she chose for me would look good. Ex MIL found it hilarious that I was getting so angry over mismatching shades! Lol.


Edit Lancome Autumn stuff is up too

Got paid today so I paid off the balance of my holiday first and then I have treated myself this morning to a couple of bits. I purchased the double sided palette and inserts from MAC - I am going to switch over my exisiting palettes to the new one as like them better and sell the old ones on along with the depot/pro pans I don't use. my new mantra with my make up is consolidate down to products that are loved and used, anything else can go. I am definately buying less and using up more. Also ordered the Anastasia brow powder to try as my charcoal brown is nearly finished, the Louise young LY24 and LY24B brushes, because I am loving my shu umuera painting liner but the mac 209 is a little thick for my tastes. I also ordered the Zoeva Neutral palette and 2 blush palettes to try, they are not very expensive but I wondered what the quality would be like? I want to try so Zoeva brushes too, but there are not many in stock so I will wait for everything to be restocked first. Off into town at lunch to pay a cheque into my bank account so I might stop at my local department store and see if they have anything in the Guerlain sale basket, I would love to find an eyeshadow quad! :)

Good luck with the Guerlain bargain hunting! Bentalls in Kingston had quite a lot of half price Guerlain stuff, but I didn't get anything as I already had everything I wanted from the selection.

I'd totally be interested in buying your old MAC palettes if you're interested? Do they still have the insert?
