I hid mine in the drawer under my bed together with some scarves and jumpers. Shh! I can see where you're coming from though, it's almost too pretty to mess up, I haven't yet manage to swatch anything because I don't want to disturb that beautiful rainbow order...
Sounds just like my daughter - when she was at primary school all her colouring pencils always had to be kept in the original pack, in strict rainbow order :) Actually, that 'original pack' sounds like me!

I am actually in the position of having nothing due in the post - I will be at work on Friday (when my other half is working from home) and out all day Saturday, and won't have to worry about parcels being delivered

. Lately they've just been left in my place at the dining table with no comment!! I don't think my other half really minds too much - though as with you, he doesn't like all the storage space being used up. I'm so tempted by the new Tom Ford collection (especially the illuminator), but it's a bit too pricey anyway at the moment.

My Flaming Chic arrived today, pretty!  Has anyone else bought it?  What do you think?
I love mine worn it about 4 times already and already the imprint is wearing off, I'm also scared it will run out quick because I use a lot to get the color payoff I prefer on my cheeks, does anyone else find this too? Thinking of picking up blazing haute by the end of the week because I swatched it today Instore and it looks like such a nice peachy apricot color. Also picked up the skin finishes from this collection ( double def, definitely defined), which I haven't had the chance to try. As for baking beauties only got pure decoration lipstick. Also picked up the eyebrow fluid line from art of the eye that I missed last time, is the fluid line now permanent or limited? Cos I'm really loving it I can get such clean lines with it compared to powder. Finally from TR I got underdressed lipgloss so far, on the verge of purchasing bare my soul quad because I love the green in it .

If you're only getting it for that I'm not sure I would bother it's very much the same as Club only not as good. If you don't own Club though and like the other shades I would go for it as it is a great quad, the best from MAC in a while

It only arrived today so haven't had a chance to wear it. I swatched it, and it is a gorgeous colour but I feel like it took me 3-4 swipes to get the colour I wanted on my hand. I'm hoping it'll pick up better with a brush but it feels almost as if it's TOO densly packed.. bit upset to be honest. Thankfully the colour is beautiful but I'm hoping it won't take tons of effort when I use a brush to get it to show up on my cheeks.

Not a problem, glad it could hopefully help!  The paper holders are great, everything just feels and looks so organised now.  I have OCD so anything unorganised makes me freak out mentally so it's a lot easier for me knowing where everything is and being able to see it easily. Thank you!  Eye shadow has to be my biggest addiction though I've really started to jump onto blush and lipstick too.  I bought my lipstick holders off of Amazon, though I have to admit I'm really not happy with them.  In the photos they all looked to be the same height, when in reality they actually tier.  That's alright if I wanted them on display but I don't and having them tier does make it look a bit "bleh" when they're beside each other.  I'm planning on eventually finding some that are all the same height.
I've been looking at lipstick holders on Ebay and Amazon and I noticed their all tiered. That's no good for me either, because like you I store my lipstick in drawers. I've seen examples of flat ones, I guess it's just a matter of finding them. I hope we're both able to find some soon.

I could really kick myself. I've just been looking online everywhere for Underdressed and it seems everywhere is sold out. Boohoo. I knew I should have picked it up in my first haul. Hoping the rest of what I want will be available come payday tomorrow. :S

I've just received one of my Debenhams orders and I'm VERY unimpressed. The Urban Decay Clinic eyeshadow pencil is dried out and one of the eyeshadows had fallen out of the Illamasqua Paranormal palette. They're both going back. They came rolled up in a jiffy bag, but other than that, no extra bubblewrap. Mind you, that wouldn't have helped the eyeshadow pencil, but still.

Just a heads up, free standard delivery code for the Mac website: GIGA.

I've ordered the gold, green, pink and purple ones. Hopefully they'll arrive tomorrow (and not damaged!).

Yes, I was like that as a child and so are my children. A bit OCD me thinks.

You're so funny with your packages. I'm still expecting a small Debenhams package and an Amazon one (that's fancy dress for my son, so doesn't count anyway), and my big Enchanted Polish order, but I haven't yet had the dispatch e-mail for that yet, she's still working on the several thousand orders she's got!

I have to say, I'm seriously underwhelmed by the ED blushes. I bought all 5 and neither of them show up very well on me, not even the bright ones. They swatched badly on my arm and take several layers to show up on my cheeks and I'm not even dark! They just don't have the same gel/creamlike texture as the EDSFs and EDES.

I still haven't tried it on as I've been unwell and not bothered about putting make-up on, but it took a good 4 swipes just to get it to show up on my hand how I wanted it. I ordered it because I like the EDSFs which are so smooth and pigmented and I have the 2 originally released, but I'm doubting I'll order another ED product.

By the way, what's the best brush to use for the EDSFs as a highlight?

Head's up ladies.

MAC Art of The Eye collection has been semi-restocked. I'm picking up Gameela, Hajar Karim and Banafsaji. I already own Parrot but wish I could get Farasha. That and Parrot are both sold out still.

I wish they would re-stock TR!

I've never owned an ED product but I like using a 188 or 165 (sadly no longer with us) for highlighting with normal SFs and other highlighters.

Just had a sad experience with eBay I bought some Duo lash glue in dark as I already own it in the white/clear version and wanted to give it a try without paying the extortionate price MAC charges but it turned out to be a fake. It's a good job I knew better as it was so wrong it was like black ink and had this terrible chemically smell. I've reported it to both trading standards and eBay now as I'm surprised someone's not done real damage to their eyes with that kind of thing.

Thanks, I don't have the MAC 188 but I do have the Sigma one, so I'll give that a try.

Oh wow, that's horrible. I can't believe how some people sell things on ebay with no care for how it could affect someones well-being. At least you've done the right thing by reporting it - many wouldn't, or, many wouldn't even know it was a fake.

I hope you've left negative feedback too, to alert potential buyers, although sadly there are sellers out there who know exactly how to get negative feedback removed (presumably they have a solicitor friend or relative who just writes a letter). I've had that happen before, even though the feedback I left broke no rules and was not in any way rude. It was purely factual, as per guidelines.

Is anyone getting the Dior Samba duo when it launches this month? I'm pretty sure that the Seventeen (when did they rename to that from 17?) polish in Peacock is a dead ringer for the metallic one! I looked at T's swatches and compared to my nail and they look really really similar.

Well it seems that new buyer I was worried about is a time waster, they won 6 of my things and haven't paid, also they keep e-mailing to say they will and can I post the items today so they receive them by tomorrow! Yeah, cause I'm THAT stupid! Charlotte, was your person also from Woking? I can see from their feedback that they keep using different accounts as well. Argh!

To be honest, I wouldn't trust T's pictures, they are very rarely colour accurate. Just sayin'...

But yes, I'm definitely getting that duo.
