So I was apparently on a no spend but just ordered some sleek palette! I really want the UD Electric but trying to see if the sleek is a good dupe for £7 rather that £38... Tbh I'll still probs end up getting the UD who am I trying to kid!? I'm in to bright eyes & nude lips this summer! Any more good bright palettes about? I'm tempted with the new Lorac 2 but it's still a lot of shades I feel I already have ...hmm

Do any of you know if Selfridges have changed their returns policy on make up? I've returned unused unopened make up to them in the past no problem, but there are a couple of things from Mac Osbournes that I decided to return and for some reason I can't. I ordered online so I logged into my account and followed their returns process, I click on my order but there is no return item option. I used click and collect and collected it on 9/6/14 so I'm within the 14 days you have to request a return. So I don't know if it's a mistake or they've changed their policy. I read it just now saying for hygeine reasons you can't return cosmetics but like I said I was able to about 6 months ago. I've emailed them to ask but I need them to get back to me asap as tomorrows the 14 day cut off. It's fine if I can't as I will have to try and sell them on here but it just worries me abit because I've never sold on here before and the whole thing kind of confuses me. Plus I'm not able to leave the house that often because of health reasons so it is going to be a huge thing for me to keep going to the post office. Do any of you have any experience returning make up to Selfridges?

Please would you let us know how you find the Sleek palette as there are a couple I've been thinking of getting but not sure what the quality is like. The UD electric looks amazing but I'm the opposite to you at the moment, I'm going for nude/neutral eyes and bold colourful lips lol, so I was good and decided not to get it as I wouldn't get enough use out of it.

Reading the website it seems like they'll take it back if it's unopened, but it's kinda contradictory. Trying tweeting them, you normally get a reply pretty quickly.

Oooh that looks good! i didn't know they were bringing out a new one. I am a big lover of sleek though i must admit some of their more recent palettes the eyeshadows have been a bit dry. Did you get the acid palette too? That's pretty good for neon eyeshadows though they are always chalky no matter the price.

I also see they have bought out a new foundation but i don't see what the point is when their skin revive (which i really like) is already a light coverage one.

You should get some Sugarpill if you haven't already. Cocktail Cosmetics or Love Makeup sells it if you want it quickly.

I got the original Lorac Pro from ebay and i do like it but it's not as stunning as everyone makes out. I will probably get 2 eventually as there are some nice colours in there especially on the shimmer row. I'll wait until the hype dies down a bit as people are paying crazy prizes at the minute on eBay like a hundred bucks +.

Did anyone actually buy the latest Laura Mercier artist palette? I see there is still a ton in stock on John Lewis where it was an exclusive i believe. I would like it but £60 is too much to pay so i am hoping it goes on sale. The previous one is one of my top all time palettes.

Also i was just on the Superdrug website and i noticed they have theBalm products although everything says out of stock at the moment. Is this a new thing? Be interesting to be able to get that kind of stuff on the high street, a bit like Ulta in the US, if it's not just a website only thing.

Thanks hun. They really do contradict themselves in their policy, I thought I was maybe being dumb and reading it wrong so I'm glad you see it too. I don't have twitter or facebook otherwise I would message them (I know I'm like the only person who doesn't have it lol). After I sent them an email it said I'll get a reply "shortly" and their customer service is usually very good so hopefully they'll reply tomorrow. If I've not heard anything by tea time I'll try ringing them. I try and avoid phoning as I have a really hard time speaking on thephone because all my pain killers mess my head up and I have really bad anxiety over it because I get so nervous. So I'm hoping I receive a reply.

I know this is cheeky but by any chance your not returning the Kelly eyeshadow palette ? Went shopping for my birthday on Saturday both me and my mum bought one then I open mine and it was the Skinfinish in the box went back to the store and my mum had gotten the last one I was gutted !!

Don't be silly it's not cheeky at all lol. I'm sorry though no I didn't order either of the palettes. I'm returning a KYY, DG and peaches and cream. I actually don't want to return any of them but I've just received an unexpected expense so I can't afford to keep them. I hate the thought of returning LE Mac as I know they might destroy them and it breaks my heart.

Oh no that's such a shame and do they really destroy them I mean what a waste it's crazy they even consider it I mean it's not like you'd decide to lick them all before sending them back !!

Golly just caught up boy you girls talk alot :) thats so sad about the Barry M owner :( Wonder what will happen to the brand now, I quite like them for all the colour they do! Just been looking at my expenses and decided I'm only allowed 1 or 2 things from all the upcoming collections going to make it so hards to chose which ones to get, then again this is where I'm glad everything comes out in Amercia first so everything gets swatches to living hell lol

My sleek arrived today! Loving the colours!!!! The 2 pinks & purple are a little chalky n not as pigmented but the rest are like butter! Sooooo pigmented and blendable! I'm Deffo gonna invest in some more of these! Iv decided to skip the shadows from moody blooms and gonna get a blue & purple sugar pill shadows insets to try them out! Also Marks due a bonus this month so he's gonna treat me to the electric palette (I know I'll regret not getting it otherwise!) On that note I still want the gold Fluidline from moody blooms do we have a uk release date yet?

I know it's stupid isn't it? I don't know if they definitely destroy them over here but they do in the US. I never return LE make up as I just feel too bad about it being destroyed so I'm always very careful about only ordering things I know I want. I hate the fact I'm having to now return these things especially because they're so gorgeous. Selfridges emailed back earlier today and said I'm fine to return unused make up and there must have just been some problem online. So that's a relief for me. They need to make their returns policy clearer as it can be confusing.

The Sleek Rio palette is out on the 2nd of July http://www.britishbeautyblogger.com/2014/06/sleek-makeup-divine-rio-rio.html

I would also check out Sleek Snapshots palette for more fun bright colours - my friend uses that palette a lot because she didn't want to buy an UD Electric. Here's one look on her blog!
