I have every eyeshadow from them and have to say the quality overall for the price is outstanding. Much better mattes than MAC (apart from the matte2s)! Corrupt really is THE blackest black eyeshadow hands down. The lippies are good but nothing to write home about. I'll be excited to try to try the blushes when they get released
Is it really permanent? I didn't know that, good news though!
They're those shadow link things aren't they. They got pretty appalling reviews when they were released in the US so deffo a skip.
The MAC palettes really are nice, best thing they have brought out in a while.
I have the Nude Pink tattoo but that was a limited edition from a US collection, i've never seen it over here and not seen a space for it on any stands. It must be any confusion over pink gold?
Thanks, I'll give the Revlon shadows a miss then.
The Color Tattoo stands in Boots and Superdrug have both Pink Gold and Pink Nude on their labels.

I went into The Beauty Store in our shopping centre today, and they had 2 tubs of makeup on 2 for £1. It included Stila eyeshadows in Twig and Sajama, Revlon matte eyeshadow in Luscious Lime, Revlon eyeshadow palettes, Calvin Klein eyeshadows and lipglosses, China Glaze crackle glazes and a number of other nail polishes by a couple of different brands in bright colours mainly.
I got some of these, and a couple of Bad Apple nail polishes to try (2 for £6) and a NYX Studio Liquid Liner in Extreme Plum Purple for £2.95. They sell loads of NYX cheaply, but not every colour and they don't have the Soft Matte Lip Cream, unfortunately.
It's worth having a look if you've got one near you. They even still have the Diego Dalla Palma Snow White and the Huntsman sets for I think £14.99.

Thanks! I'm really excited to try them. I've only started with the shadows but if I love them like I suspect I will I know I'll end up getting the rest of them. Do you have Sugarpill Bulletproof? I wonder how it compares to Corrupt. I'll have to swatch them side by side when the MUG stuff arrives. I think I heard they're reformulating the lipsticks so I'll wait before trying them, though I am looking forward to blushes! I'm tempted to look at their gel liners, have you tried them?Has anyone tried Makeup Geek? I ordered the Ultimate Eyshadow Palette last night. I figure 27 shades to start with is pretty decent as including shipping it came to £105 I believe it was. Would like to know opinions if any of you have tried them.

Yes it's much blacker than the Sugarpill hich i didn't really think was all that anyway. It's also much blacker than Blackout by UD. Corrupt isn't really a true matte though as there is some sparse silver sparkle but you don't see it applied and it just disappears..
I have tried the liners they are good and some really pretty colours but fluidlines are still my favourites. Worth getting for the price especially if you want to try out some brights or the red one, Poison I also particularly like the ones called Twinkle and Rave such gorgeous colours.

Sugarpill is my current most black black, so I'm impressed that Corrupt is blacker than that. Oddly enough though, I very rarely use black for anything - even deepening the crease, I just use a darker colour of whatever colours I'm using.
I love the look of Twinkle, Rave, Poison, Fame, Electric and Amethyst. I don't really do much in the way of lining as it is, so perhaps it'd be worth getting those ones instead of fluidlines in brighter colours etc as it wouldn't be as much money.
Tbh, I'm just really sick of the cost of MAC. That and the rush for LE items. It's just exhausting to try and keep up with it all.

Just to let you all know, I popped into TKmaxx the other day and I was able to pick up a Physicians Formula blush (It's lovely!). I love dropping on brands that would otherwise be hard to get your hands on! Keep your eyes peeled

Well now I've learned my lesson about eBay. Bastard people.
Selling a BNIB Bare My Soul quad, and I'm asking for £35 even though RRP was £38.50. I woke up to an e-mail notification telling me that it's sold. I wake up having 2 inbox messages from the buyer saying they didn't understand GBP and that they're in the US and can I cancel it now so they can buy other things. Ffs.
I've never even sold anything on eBay before, how the hell do I go about cancelling this? Am I gonna be charged a relisting fee because she's a dumbass and can't read what currency it's in? Looking at the time stamps of it all, she went to pay for it and then saw the currency conversion and decided she wasn't gonna pay it. Thing is, I didn't even offer international shipping prices.. so why was she allowed to bid on it?! Ugh. What a mess this is.

Did you set your listing to UK bidders only? That SHOULD prevent Americans being able to buy (they're the worst for misunderstanding currency for some reason)
Anyway, here's some info about how to cancel the transaction. http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/sell/cancel-transaction-process.html
or this, which gets her a 'non-payer' strike against her name http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/sell/unpaid-items.html

So I was on the MAC site ordering some things when I saw the By Request show up, lol. Had no idea it was due today so I bought Glam and Hoop last minute. I dunno if I actually want them though.

I bought a few of those when we were in Florida 3 years ago, they are very nice!
Thanks for the heads up, I've ordered the lipsticks.
