Any Thoughts on Lush's B Never Cosmetics?

[midnightlouise]

Got a catalog with the new Lush Times & I wondered if any of you guys have tried it...and if so what do you think? Any stand out products? I was thinking about ordering but wanted to get some opinions first. Thanks all!

Ooh, is it now available in the States? That's quite exciting. I don't have any experience with B Never; perhaps the UK Lush forum might have some info? What are you thinking of ordering?

Their shipping is a freaking FORTUNE unless you get into group orders and split the costs

That aside, I've tried their Beach shadow (looks almost identical to Coco pigment!) and Blab lipcream (so pretty!). Their packaging is so pretty, the quality is really nice. It just sucks that it costs so much to ship out of the UK. Shipping to Canada alone starts at 20£ (this is what I was quoted for one single eyeshadow), and it looks like shipping to the US starts around 30.50£ for orders between 3-5 kg

They do have a website, www.bnevertoobusytobebeautiful.com

I think it's still only shipping out of the UK. I wish we could get it here! The catalog came with the UK Lush Times that I received last week and I've been drooling over it ever since lol! The eyeshadows look really pretty, and they have some stuff that seems like pigments. Oh and the lipcreams look nice, too. Not to mention that the packaging is freaking gorgeous! The artist in me wants to get if for the packaging alone! Have you seen it?

Holy freakin' cow!!! That's pushing $60 for shipping....Thanks for that info canadiangirl, I appreciate the heads up. I hate to get all excited about it & then get bummed about the high ship costs. Bah! And thanks for the link, it won't hurt to look

That is bananas, their postage quotes out of the UK. Sheesh! The ideal thing to do is place an order and get it delivered to a UK address, and have it forwarded from there to next destination. I'm sure that would bring postage costs down a little, surely?

But group ordering sounds like the way to go. In some Asian countries, it's quite popular to do that. They have a term for it, it's like a sign-up spree or something.

I emphasise, Midnight. Pretty packaging sucks me in too :grin:

I have the eyeshadows in Bay,b list,ben nevis and blur.A lipcream in blast and quite a few glitter eyeshadows.
The eyeshadows are nice but break up and go powdery quickly.The lipcream is nice but a pain as the lid comes off all the time so you can't carry it in your purse.
My favorites are the glitter eyeshadows used as eyeliners.Beautiful colors but i agree the shipping costs are so high its not worth it unless your doing a really big order.

Mine turned into a loose powder after a few uses. It was also poorly pigmented and gritty. I bought mine two years ago so it's possible they have been reformulated. They are quite expensive (Ł7.50 - for merely 0.5 g.).
The highlighter was nice but nothing special.
B never to busy to be beautiful shower gel, however, is simply divine.

My friend uses their metallic gold eyeliner and little pot of glitter, which she dabs onto her eyelids. I gotta say, it's fabulous stuff... and the packaging is just too darn cute! They put it in little mesh bags with fake flowers as well! I really want to find a store nearby - I know there's one in London, so I'll definitely be checking that out this Xmas...

I've only tried one of the glitter eyeshadows and that was excellent (Definately getting more of them!) and a navy eyeshadow/liner, which I love also. They feel very soothing on the skin and do stay the course of the day.

There's swatches on eye lids of all the eye stuff on the UK Lush forum.
