UK Release Dates Discussion - All Brands Welcome!

[FashionDoll]

I've sold on the Makeup Exchange sub on reddit. I always sanitise before I send anything out. I would hate to receive something from someone that was unsanitary - I still sanitise stuff I receive too just so I'm sure. You can always ask your buyer though. I bought some surgical spirit from Superdrug and spritz that on the stuff. You can buy the isopropyl (rubbing alcohol) stuff from Amazon. I keep it in an empty face spritzer for convenience. If you have used lipglosses with wands there is no way to sanitise if you have used the applicator. You may want to full disclosure that because some might not want t o buy double dipped products. All the other stuff is easy to sanitise - minus pigments but you can sanitise the lids inside to make sure its clean.

Thank you so much I really appreciate your help and I'll definitely look into what you've suggested. I just know that I'm OCD and would always have to sanitize things I'd bought for myself and personally would prefer if the seller wouldn't do it before sending as I wouldn't like not knowing what they had used to sanitize and whether or not it had affected the make up negatively. I would of course give full disclosure of anything that either had or hadn't been or couldn't be sanitized. Just wanted to hear what others do so thanks. Very helpful.

Then ?

What I do for lipstick is spray the bullet and then wipe it on a tissue so the top layer of hte lipstick is gone then spray again so its sanitised. Then spray inside the lid and the tube and wipe that down.

For pressed products you can just spray the top and let it dry. You can scrape away the top layer with a clean mascara wand and spray then too. Don't do that to products with a pattern.

You can use surgical spirit or isopropyl alcohol, either will work.

You really want to get 99% alcohol, otherwise you're introducing water (which can harbour/grow bacteria) to the product and doing the opposite of what you're trying to do.

 

[beautycool]

Oh gosh I use the alcholo the hubby gets from work then it's called that stuff beginning with I I just don't trust myself to use it lol as may ruin x my lippys x That's what I'm frightened off Thanks for advice ladies

 

[beautycool]

My new lippy organiser that came also today Felt like Christmas but had to go flaming work X Anyhow I have work tomorw but will try swatch x some tomorw later x

 

[beautycool]

For pressed powders when you squirt them with alcohol how many squirts ( obviously not so it's damp) And do you have to scrape off powder from the top then I did this with a cheap bronzer the other week And u can see the scrape lines nect to each other on the pallete lol no matter how many times I put a brush on it The lines are not coming out don't look to bad Though xxxx What's the trick of scraping x

 

[beautycool]

Just thought I can watch a you tube on scraping bronzer ))))

Just got my Osbournes order in - total disappointment! Dodgy girl, kind of as expected, isn't for me - but I didn't like Up the Amp either, Kelly Yum Yum is ok, but I have Pink Pigeon already which is really similar, Strip Poker is also ok, but I have loads of shades that are close enough. Riot House is a disaster! It's having an extreme fight with my freckles which in turn makes my eyebrows look related to Oscar the Grouch! Trying it with a darker orange lipliner only made it worse. Hopefully it'll look better with a heavy coverage foundation The blush is allright, but not really a standout shade - though that's probably what I need for my collection as most of my blushes are too standout.

 

[Anitacska]

Had a look at the collection at HoF today, but decided to pass altogether. It's nice, like KYY, but like it's been said, it's not that special. The blushes are nice, but not needed, especially not at £23 each. Money saved.

I'm sorry to hear that. I skipped riot house because I knew it would just look so disgusting on me. It looks too light and light matte finishes which cling to dry patches on my lips are not good at all! What lipsticks do you have which are close to strip poker? I doubt dodgy girl will suit me..but we'll just have to see! I skipped kellys blush cause I just have sooo many wearable pinks and corals...I just don't need it!

Riot house looks really nice with a gloss over it. Dodgy girl pulls more pinky on me which I think makes it more wearable.

I had hoped Riot house would've been ok, because I really love Sounds Like Noise and Pure decoration, and I hoped it would have been in the middle of those two. But it just looks very very strange

Myth is very close in colour to Strip Poker, and Close Contact is just slightly darker. From what I have, Please Me is pinker, Kinda Sexy is darker, and Blankety is also darker but they're all close enough for someone like me that hardly ever wears nudey shades anyways.

Will try it with a gloss over it! Might be nice with some of the glosses I got from the Christmas sets last year. Though only for a hair-up day - I have hip length hair so any time I wear gloss without a ponytail I get hair stuck to my mouth

Looks like a not-very-fetching beard.

 

[Eims]

I LOVE Dodgy Girl. Definitely pulls pinker on me. It's everything I wanted Airborne Unicorn to be but it just wasn't and was really hard to wear.

I really love it with Embrace Me liner

 

[laurzrah]

I wore Dodgy girl today - it is so nice! The formula is perfection, really creamy and long-lasting. If you can grab this, definitely do

 

[stacilx]

I'm still waiting for my debenhams packet to arrive to try these but luckily after regretting not going for strip poker I found someone that didn't like it and only wanted £16 as apposed to the eBay price of like £30 so I've got that coming too just hope it looks ok on me as blankety is the only nude I own at the moment.
