I didn't have much fallout (if any) from Warming Heart. I used it above the crease to add sparkles to my eyeshadows. I like it for my eyes, but not for the face.

I bought Light Touch to use on my eyes, but somehow it migrated all over my face Great sparkle, but I don't want that on my cheeks, nose, upper lip and chin LOL. I'll have to try it over a very sticky base some time.

Thanks for the heads up on the totem styler any idea what courier Debenhams uses? It doesn't say in the tracking details and we live within a military camp so I need to book them in at the guard room :/ at the moment all there is under carrier info is "hub trailer via sorter"

Mine was delivered by a lady in a car. I've just looked at the label on the bag, and it says Hermes. It was despatched yesterday morning, and arrived this morning, not long after the status changed to say it had been received by the courier.

It comes in a black Debenhams bag with silver writing on, so if you tell the guard room that's what you're expecting, that might be enough. I'm not sure if Debenhams always use the same courier or not.

Thank you! Looks like it might be here tomorrow then *fingers crossed*

 

[Anitacska]

I don't think couriers usually deliver on Saturdays.

I'm intrigued by the totem styler - may rewatch Lou's video for more info!

Random weird question.

I've noticed in the past month or two some random blotchy patches on my stomach. They're kind of a pink discoloured look and they're definitely patchy, not specific in shape. They're not raised, though. Anyway I just kinda checked again and they seem to be spreading. I've noticed one on my wrist for a little while and couldn't think of what it was but I now see it's another one. They're definitely spreading though. I have a Dr's appt on Monday but just wondering if anyone has any idea what I mean? Finding it a bit odd as I can't think of what the issue could be.

Happier note: My package from the US has been sent. Jete, Moth Brown, Guacamole, Parrot & Yung Repunxl l/s are on their way to me.

How big are they, are they itchy, and how often do you get a new one?
(the medical student in me is asking a lot of questions, sorry!)

They seem to be varying in size. A couple have been itchy. They're a pinky-brown colour. Started out as a couple, then I found one on my wrist and then just today I looked again and saw at least 5 more which will have only shown up in about 72hrs max. The first ones have been there for a couple months though, I didn't think anything of it until I saw the one on my wrist a few weeks ago and now this new set of them. No worries about the questions!

UPS was supposed to deliver my Nars package today, but the tracking now says tomorrow? Eh? Weird.

 

[Anitacska]

Argh! I bought a Ruffian Red lipstick on eBay from the US and have just received my package - with a Ruffian Naked in it! How difficult is it to send the right colour, ffs? Now I have to send it back and all that crap. This is going to be fun.

 

[rockin]

Oh no That's the problem when you buy internationally on ebay - if things arrive broken or are the wrong thing, it's harder to get things sorted, and costly if you have to return something.

I've received my Ruffian Gold, and I'm glad I chose to get that rather than get the Estée Lauder Lamé luminizer lipstick. The EL one is much more orange by comparison, plus I'm not keen on the smell of their lippies.

I can't understand why MAC aren't releasing the Ruffian lippies in the UK

 

[Anitacska]

It's okay, she said she'll refund my postage cost and has already posted out a Ruffian Red. Let's hope it turns up.

Fingers crossed


Have you seen the new Barry M moisturising lipsticks coming out soon? https://twitter.com/BarryMCosmetics/status/249084382051201024/photo/1/large A wide variety of colours there

 

[Anitacska]

Wow, Pink Pearl and Flamingo Peach are lovely. Too bad I'm putting myself on a lipstick no-buy once I reach 400, I currently 3 choices left, but I want to get Moxie and Rocker, so that leaves one. Maybe I'll pick up one of these.

Fingers crossed

I got paid today from my new job, I had to wait 6 weeks as I just missed a payroll cut off date when I started. I managed to leave off a half months salary from previous job, I was really pleased I managed it.

As a result I have had a "little" (read large!) Spending spree today.

Oasis sent a email re the new sales item going instore tomorrow, so I ordered some new shift dresses for work.

I also however ordered from Zuneta for the first time as I fancied trying some new brands, ordered the Lanolips Golden Ointment for the winter, LMdeB Blush Kaleidascope and 3 rouge bunny rouge shadows and a compact to store them in.

I walked into town at lunch time, avoided MAC (so decided to reward myself) I picked up Mushroom single shadow from UD and Sin 24/7 shadow pencil (I had a £12 gift card) so 1 of them was kind of free.

I also visited the Laura Mercier Counter and picked up the tinted moisturiser compact (hoping this will be a better shade match than the sleek base duo kit that I love but is a little dark on me!) and an african violet eyeshadow (looks like it might be close to trax by mac?).

The only thing left to get this month is a Artdeco eyeshadow primer and maybe a few shadows from the DvT collection at my local debenhams tomorrow.

I am off to London and france next month, so must not spend any more.

Anyone know any good places in Paris to pick up bioderma?

Also was wondering what peoples thoughts on the totem styler were who picked them up in the last debenhams sale, I passed but might pick some up next time they have a sale?

I am in the same boat re starting a new job and getting paid. Luckily I have savings as I finished my last job in July and don't get paid until next Friday!
Love all your purchases. I have the Sin 24/7 pencil and find it a great staple for travelling. I also have African Violet - it's similar to Trax (which I also have) but I think it's a lot better actually, Trax is not very pigmented.
Regarding Bioderma, if I recall correctly you can now purchase this at Selfridges on Oxford St (as part of the relaunch of their beauty hall they have listed more brands).

Have you considered metal allergy? I had something similar which I developed as a reaction to the metal rivets in my jeans (especially around bellybutton area, as there was a metal button where the back of it was rubbing directly against my skin). Have also had similar reactions to jewellery / watches that are not nickel-free, which could explain the wrist.
