slightly confused…. i know that royal mail prohibits nail polish being sent international, do they allow you to receive nail polish from international post? I'm considering ordering from transdesign, finally wanting to bite the bullet with colour club polishes but i'm worried that if i order the parcel maybe destroyed but there is no disclaimer or any info with that regard on their website.

In theory no, but I have placed loads of orders from the US, Canada, Hong Kong, etc. and so far none of them have been destroyed. I always ask that the seller marks the package something like cosmetics or art supplies.

who'd getting the new viva glam? Xx
I'm going to get it, but I don't think I'll get it as soon as it comes out. I might wait until nearer my birthday in November.

M&s seem to be having 20% off beauty, worth a look as they stock so many well known brands eg glam glow, stila, l'occitane, ren I saw it yday in the westfield store.

I just received Love Temple lipstick and Dual Rays MES in the post today. Love Temple isn't as pink as I thought it would be, but the pinky colour in Dual Rays is very soft - the softest MES I have felt so far.

Hi everyone Has anyone bought from Sephora US since they started shipping to the UK. If so, did you have to pay customs charges? Thanks

I haven't yet, but I'm planning to for my birthday in November. If you spend £75 you pay a flat £6 delivery which guarantees no custom charge, I believe. British Beauty Blogger has a YouTube video explaining it x

Here is the link to the video - she says £10 for shipping, but I believe they have lowered it as I have heard £6 recently and if you go to checkout with a basket full over £75, it says £6

Thanks, that's really useful. I know they can't ship nail polish or perfume - I was thinking of trying out some of the brands we can't get over here like kat von d / bite beauty. Just don't want to get a massive customs charge slapped on top!

Sephora adds customs on to your basket so you don't have fees when you get your package. To get the flat rate £10 ghipping you need to spend £75 or more, anything less than that and you need to pay full shipping costs. It works out better to go for the £75 basket.

As the ladies have already said, when you spend £75 the postage charge will be £6 plus customs fees. The fees were about 21% for me when I ordered in June.

They don't send NARS because of distribution issues, as it's sold over here for a higher price they don't want you to buy it in the US cheaper.

No, should be online this Thursday & in store the following Thursday, I think. I guess you never know with MAC but generally they seem to be online last Thurs of the month and in store on the first Thurs of the month. 
When I rang MAC counter close to me the lady told me that all the new collections are always released on fisrt thursday of the month in store :)
Thank you both!!! :D

I cut my ANR order down to just 2 lippies and one fluidline pencil, but at the last minute I decided to throw in a Simpsons blush as well. I didn't really intend on getting anything from that collection, but I guess it'll be a nice thing to have?
