So it's payday, and everything I want off MAC/ department store websites have sold out. Boo! I did order Sun Dipped and one of the pencils though. :S Maybe I should just put away what I saved for the next collection.
Sorry to those that are being messed around on ebay. I commend you all for your bravery at being an ebay seller. I have either been too scared or too lazy (or both) to ever venture there. Things I don't need anymore I usually either bin, keep in the attic somewhere or give to my gran to take to a charity shop somewhere. Even the appeal of using the money I would make for more cosmetics/storage doesn't seem to make me spring to life and start the process. Hope everything gets sorted out soon for you ebay warrior princesses!

I just checked and it was indeed Woking Surrey, have PM'd you the address I have, because I don't want to publically name her, but so that you can confirm it properly.
She did that to me the first time, I kept getting emails saying she was checking her bank account etc and they were worded in very poor english. The second time round she didn't even answer any emails, probably because I said from the outset that I had worked out that she had done this before to me! Can you PM me her new user name as I can block that one too? I know I can't stop her if she keeps opening new accounts but I can try!

This one is a right pain in the a**e, I don't understand how people can try to be so dishonest, the worst thing is although as I see a new usename for her I block it, I can't stop her with a new account until it is too late!

What I've done is set my buyer requirements to as strict as possible and I will also be deleting bids from brand new buyers from now on. I'd rather not sell stuff than to have to deal with nutters like her.

That's crazy. Ebay should be finding a way to permanently ban people like that!

It really is crazy that these people keep getting away with it! I don't understand how ebay can allow it to happen, it really is so unfair and I'm sorry for those of you that are having problems with these awful people! And I also really get annoyed with people selling fakes. It's ridiculous, and some of them get the product to look so close to the real thing that most buyers don't even know. Whenever I buy make up from a seller on Ebay I'm like a detective trying to determine if it's real or not.

There's 10% off beauty at Debenhams again, online only at the moment, but also in store from Tuesday. I've reordered the Illamasqua palette and the UD eyeshadow pencil that arrived damaged/dried out the other day.
Also my other Debenha,s order has arrived (with the 4 UD Moonshadows). They look very pretty, but I haven't actually tested yet, want to take pictures for the blog first.

This is just getting better. The buyer has sent me this message today:
"Hi,
So sorry for the delay I have been really busy with my project needs to be completed by Monday,
I can make Payment Tomorrow as I am on a Break,
But I am back at Campus on Monday; would it be possible for you to Parcel my items and arrange Saturday Delivery Please.
As soon as I hear back from you I will make transaction.
Thank you"
I really don't understand why she would be sending these messages when she has absolutely no intentions to pay? Has she not got anything better to do with her time?! Bizarre. Of course she still hasn't paid, and I'm sure she won't. I've also had a message from another brand new buyer saying she can't bid because she doesn't have a Paypal account (I've banned buyers without Paypal), but she will pay by credit card like she always does (she has no feedback!). WTF is with all these nutters on eBay???

I've purchased it out of curiousity in "Light", so we'll see what it's like when it arrives, even though I've also just bought the EL DW Concealer as well, we'll see.
Has anyone used the Maybelline Dream Magic Touch Lumi thing? I've purchased that as well as I wanted to get the MAC P&P Highlighter Pen but wanted to test out a lower end one to see if I even like the concept first. Just curious about any opinions if you guys have.
I also bought the Rimmel Scandaleyes Kohl Kajal Eyeliner in Nude to give that a try as well as I've been told it's nice and soft/smooth. We'll see when it gets here how they all are.
Has anyone tried the Beauty Blender? I ordered the duo off Amazon for £21 instead of £26 from most places so I'm looking forward to seeing if that's a gimick or not too.

I've relisted the items because only a couple of them were eligible for second chance offer. She can't bid on anything of mine again.

The nude liner is really nice. I have the Stila one too, which is much peachier I find the Rimmel one is more natural looking for my skin at least! As for the BB, I bought the Cosmopolitan sponge for about £3 from Superdrug and that works great. I'm sceptical about paying £21 for a sponge though

Thanks - I completely forgot about Stila! I'll try the Rimmel one though and see how it goes, I've never owned a nude liner so we'll see how much use it gets. Ahh I didn't know about any BB dupes over here. Ah well, I guess I'll see how I like the BB. If it's not worth the £21, I won't be buying it again, lol.The nude liner is really nice.

I hate to say this but you hope she doesn't bid again, looking at feedback on her various ID's she has a habitat of targeting people more than once by using a new account and snipe bidding at the last possible minute so you can't cancel the bid!I've relisted the items because only a couple of them were eligible for second chance offer. She can't bid on anything of mine again.
She was polite the first time she bought off me and kept responding to my messages, then she bought again when I relisted, using a different username, I called her out on it straight away and said if she didn't pay up I would file an unpaid buyer strike and block her again. She just never responded!

I also have both the Stila and Rimmel ones and I agree the Stila one is much peachier it's also much creamier which means it deposits a lot more product adding to the more unnatural look. I thought at first the Rimmel one irritated my eyes but I've used it again since and been fine so it must have been a different product or a seriously sensitive eye day. I also recommend the UD Midnight Cowboy 24/7 liner which came as part of the 15 year anniversary set. It's more or a shimmery one but it looks beautiful on the waterline though again not as natural (you can still pick it up from eBayers who have split up the set for a reasonable price like here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Urban-Dec...osmetics_Eyeliner_PP&var=&hash=item460eeb1a19)
They are the only ones I've tried but I'd like to also try the NW15 Chromagraphic pencil from MAC
I also got a pink egg shaped BB dupe I bought it from a seller from China on eBay for a pound or two incl. P&P. It works pretty well though I only use it for Studio Sculpt which I rarely use these days as I still prefer the MAC 187 or Real Techniques expert face brush for any other foundations.I have read blog posts comparing the dupes with the BB and they say the BB is better but they couldn't really justify the price difference.

Makes you wonder if she's right in the head...?! Why would anyone would want to do this repeatedly? Does she not have a life? Weird!
