[ghopkins91]

I have no idea, plus the Brixton counter is 5mins from my new workplace. Cos I can see myself going there for lunch to pick up a couple of bits and bobs

Ahh dangerous workplace for you

Have any of you ladies ever used sites like MyUS or Shipitto to get stuff from USA sites that don't post to the UK?

I really would like to place a Colourpop order and also try to nab the Clinique Cheek Pop shades that won't be released over here but which Sephora won't ship to anywhere else but the USA due to brand restrictions.

If any of you have I would love to know what your experience was like or any tips.

I've used MyUS.com and it's very handy to have, especially when ordering from the U.S. I've never had any trouble order from Sephora, especially their own brand stuff. That's quite weird

I use Stackry and they are good, no fees upfront, just the shipping fee and $2 per package consolidation fee if you want to combine your packages. Only thing is they now can't ship nail polish which is what I mostly use them for. Grrr! Anyway, if you want to try them out, pm me as if I refer you we both get $10 off the first shipping cost.

Speaking of nail polish, have you tried Rainbow Connection? They're UK stockists for the American indie nail polish brands

Yes, they're great, but some indie makers won't ship outside the US from their own website and that's where they usually have the LE/exclusive shades. Also, you often get free US shipping over $50, whereas they'll charge $12+ to ship to the UK (even for as little as one bottle).

The amount of times I've said to myself that I should order a few bottles, I never get round to it. I could ask the wholesaler south of the river to place several custom orders for me, the next time I'm in Peckham

Thanks very much for the input. Did you have any trouble with any of the shopping sites accepting a UK credit/debit card?

Anita i will definitely be in touch about Stackry at the end of the month when i get paid.

I use PayPal, when it comes to international purchases. But I have used my debit card on the U.S. MAC site last year... Have the 2 lippies for proof

Ok, cool. I haven't had problems with ordering with UK credit card, but I too mostly use Paypal.

Just been browsing Superdrug's website as they have 3 for 2, and a free makeup bag offer going on. I noticed that Makeup Revolution have liquid blushers that look suspiciously like blatant copies of Daniel Sandler water blushes. They're only £3 each, so I might give one a try to see how much alike they are.

NARS tell me that their new collection should be available here on 21st of this month, and in stores shortly after.

They are indeed copies and pretty good ones i thought. I think they may be being discontinued as they are on a last chance to buy half price offer on the MUR website. The copies of the old style MUFE HD blushes are also very good once you can get the product out as the packaging on those ones is a bit naff and the pump take ages to work if it ever actually does!

Seeings how I can't sell used/swatched makeup on eBay, Have any of you lovely ladies had a good experience selling to us specktrettes in the clearance bin? I'm wanting rid of some of my Mac, Chanel and Tom ford - obviously the audience is wider if I say I'll sell to the U.S. but seems like a lot of effort? :/

Actually, quite a lot of products sold in Superdrug appear to be copies of other brands - the blushes in square boxes that look just like Benefit ones, and the copies of Benefit's Benetint and High Beam, for example.

Ladies quick question, are the prices for the Mac is Beauty products going to be the same as the permanent products?

I've been on Mac chat again today about the Mac is Beauty collection and they've said that they have it down for this month. I have been told that a couple of times recently but I have been given multiple dates, hopefully it'll be this month.
