What is your latest haulage?

[panda0410]

^^Haha, I know the feeling!! I was backtracking credit points as well, my programme got messed up last year and now I'm doing an extra 10 this semester to make the graduate requirements... blah... what a mess!! I still have sooooo many assignments due before the end of April, like 9 I think, that extra 10 has loaded me up heavily

Hey Brie - the Graftobian is by far a lot more popular but you do have some customers that prefer Cinema Secrets. Drop an email to me [email protected] and I'll send you some samples and some further info on both of them. They are wonderful.

Carina I think you need to come and work with me and do all my stock ordering. I get way too indecisive about what makeup products I'm ordering in. I'll just send you my suppliers details and you can go crazy for me

Haha dont joke Rachael! My boyfriend and I are moving up to Queensland next year! I would love a job like that

OMG Carina I am so jealous of your haul!! I haven't been in here for a while because I've only been buying an item here and there but I have been getting my lovely CP to grab a few things out of each collection and hold onto them for me. I'm waiting for the F & F where I'll place my mega order and get it all sent together, geez I hope that comes soon, I sooo need stuff!!!!!

Can wait for the beach collection to come out, lots O pretty things in there

 

[aussiemacluvrrr]

^^ Hehe thanks Robyn

I cant wait for my Young Punk to get here... I have been kicking myself for not getting it when it came out! Hurry upppp Australia Post!

 

[spectrolite]

OMG Finally, my Sephora order has arrived. I've been going slowly insane waiting for it lol.. I feel like I can relax now that it's here. I got:

- Urban Decay Alice In Wonderland Book of Shadows
- MUFE Mat Velvet 75 - OMG it's so small! I was expecting more product

I'm expecting a few more things this week like Hakuhodo makeup brushes, Nail Polish and some stuff I cant even remember! More updates when they all arrive.

 

[rockin26]

^^ Bibi let me know what you think about the Alice In Wonderland palette please? I don't have any UD e/s yet and I was thinking of getting it.

 

[sunniechan]

Nice haul aussiemacluvrrr and spectrolite!

I'm really want some hakuhodo brushes as well. I wish I knew about them when I was in Japan :'(. I'll try and be good and wait until I go back at the end of this year or beginning of next year to pick them up in Japan. But please let me know how you like them when you get them spectrolite.

I got my u/d alice palette last week from US. I think the colours are beautiful, the textures really nice, and the palette is so pretty. But, some of the shadows have chunky glitters imo and the fallouts from that is pretty bad - then again I don't really like glitters in e/s. All of the swatched beautifully on my arms but some of them settle into lines and make the lines really visible. But I have asian monolids, so it might be visible because of that. : But alice is such a prettty colour, queen and mushroom is also very pretty.

 

[spectrolite]

^sunniechan, I will definitely let you know about the Hakuhodo brushes when they arrive. I can't wait!

^Robyn I agree with sunniechan. Some of the colours have very fine glitter with heaps of fall out and I think a sticky base and lots of tapping off the brush is required but over all the textures are beautiful and the colour range you get is gorgeous. I didn't find that the colours settled between any lines in my eyes. I always use a primer and a paint pot base to keep it all nice and smooth.

I never owned any Urban Decay shadows before this palette so yeah, so far I'm loving my Urban Decay experience

I reckon if you have a good range of Mac's Starflash shadows then you probably don't really need the Book of Shadows. I'm just an Alice In Wonderland Junkie and could not live without it hehehe.

 

[sunniechan]

^Spectrolite, which Hakuhodo brushes did you get?
I'm dyinnnnnnnnng for my spring forecast package. Nordies took forever to ship them :'( and it's taking longer than usual for the delivery to my US parcel forwarding place. I wanna play with them so bad.

It's so funny how thing change with time, last year this time I had zero interest in makeup and wore makeup 2-3 times a year and owned less than 10 pieces of makeup. lol

 

[spectrolite]

^OMG I just went to take the rubbish to the bins and checked my mail on the way back and my brushes are here!! Yayyy that was super fast. I ordered them on Thursday FYI.

I ordered:

G528 - Highlighting Brush C - it's a round brush with a flat top with bristles around an inch long, maybe a bit shorter

G527 - Powder Brush D - round brush, flat top, 2 inch bristles. If you watch Pixiwoo on you tube its the one she got in her IMATS video but I got the black one with the shorter handle.

B162BKSL - Angled eye brow brush, pretty self explanatory

K019 - Eyelash comb - Also seen in Pixiwoo's video

S190 - Eye liner brush - fine brush with the orange handle and gold ferrule. Very pretty!

They arrived gift wrapped in orange Hakuhodo paper and presented in a box. Inside they were individually wrapped and a sheet with washing/care instructions was included. Impressive!

So far just from just touching the hairs I can tell they are very very high quality brushes. So soft

I'm going to go buy some wool mix so I can wash them and start using them ASAP, and I'm placing another order as soon as my pay comes through.

Thanks for this info Bibi! I was lemming the BOS so badddddd but I have nearly all the Starflash shadows and I got all the Love That Look shadows last year so I think I'll be able to pass it now and not lose any sleep. lol

My first order of nail polishes arrived today. There was soooo much padding in the box, but this is what I found when I opened it....





Wahhhhhhh!

Over half the bottle leaked

I don't know whether I should just cut my loses and order another bottle when I place my next order or send them an email with photos

Considering they haven't written back before I'm guessing they definitely wont write back if I complain

It was one of the colours I was most excited to get....!!

On a brighter note my four Sleek palettes arrived today! They were wrapped so well so none of them were broken (yay!) and got here super fast! I only paid for them at 6pm on the 9/2 and they were waiting at the post office this morning

Whoa freaky! I had a dream this morning that my Transdesign order arrived and one of the bottles leaked

And it happened to you.. I might have the shining Carina lol. Hey at least the bottle didn't leak ALL over the other bottles as well. Imagine how annoying that would be to clean up.

I reckon send them a photo and let them know that the bottle was not sealed properly and maybe they will send you a replacement with your next order.

Maybe I'm being too optimistic? It's worth a try.

 

[sunniechan]

^^spectrolite, cool! I hope you have lots of fun with them! I checked on the website to have a look at some of the brushes you got but some of them weren't listed. I guess they sold out of them atm.

^^aussiemacluvrrr, that suxs! I would email them, the worst they can do is do nothing, but hopefully they will replace them.

I think I need at least a few days to catch up with this thread!
Bibi, my friend just received her Alice in Wonderland palette and she is over the moon about it. Don't think she is even going to touch it!! Sephora SA told her to guard it with life, because there are so many ladies who would do anything to have it. Where do you live again?

Grrr Aussie, that is awful. Hope they send you the replacement!

My huge CP order is on the way.. $800 worth products and the shipping alone cost me $90! Can't wait!
