What is your latest haulage?

[aussiemacluvrrr]

^^ I'm kinda worried about how this foundation will photograph... it looks really dark in the pan, but kind of white on my skin... :S The woman insisted NC30 was fine, when I'm NC35 in winter normally....

I'm worried the SPF in it will make it look white in photos...

 

[vintageroses]

^^ ooooh. NC30 is really light! hahas. how does it look on your skin now?

yeahh i should start hunting around (after my thesis is done of course

) for good foundations for pictures! what foundation do you usually use hun?

What a haul Bibi!

I had a nice mail day yesterday as well.

From ebay
- China Glaze Surf collection (summer 2007 I think)
Blk-Bila-Bong looks divine!

From mac (my first black box haha!)
- Plink! l/s
- In Synch l/l

Have you heard that Transdesign stopped shipping international orders with USPS? They now only ship international via UPS which is $40+. *sad face*

 

[vintageroses]

Unfortunately I have no idea.

I hope you can order more polishes with UPS to make up for the higher shipping. No response to my email about the shipping yet, though.

 

[vintageroses]

^^ oh nooooooooooo that's really baddd! I hope it's like unlimited (i wish!) hahahs that was our 1 stop nail polish parlor! if it's gonna be 40USD for 9 bottles that's gonna be almost the same price as DJs! sighhh! Tell us how it goes!

I hope so as well. Even up to 20 nail polishes would be ok with $40+ shipping because then it would be almost the same as with up to 9 for $18. *crosses fingers*

Blue India is stunning! I also love the formula. If it's still available I recommend it.

 

[vintageroses]

^^ yeah i'll keep my fingers crossed for us!!!

oooh okays i might check it out, i just realise i have a $20 myers voucher expiring in 4 days time! I haven't been out shopping since my final thesis is due in 2 wks! I don't really know what i should get though

my friends & i placed an online order for MAC from the US awhile ago, which should be arriving this week! So i'm really not too sure what i should get! & i can't get Blue India with the voucher because it's less then $30!

sighhs.

The product has to be more than $30?
So two Blue India wouldn't be an option?

Blot, blot, blot! It still looks amazing by the end of the day.

^I'm writing an email to Transdesign expressing my annoyance and disappointment. I encourage everyone who shops there to do the same and maybe we can change their minds

 

[simplyenchantin]

^^ Bibi, not sure if it includes fragrance, sorry!

At the moment I have been using Revlon Photoready.. I really liked how it looked on my skin... I'll give the Mineralize SPF a go though.....

I am soooo upset about this

It seems everytime I find something good lately, something happens to ruin it (OCNailArt not doing coupons anymore, Transdesign having shit shipping fees... I'm sure there are others

)

It better be flat rate... If it is flat rate then I will not be so upset... I will just do two hauls in one

Yeh I know... I'm a little concerned..... Oh well I always use bronzer like you Sal, so I'll just bronze myself up

I bought it full price too, not with my MAC Pro discount

Because I wanted to get colour matched... At least DJ's had 10% off....

I'll give it a go for a week and if I really like it , I'll order NC35 and NC40 through MAC Pro... I have 2 almost brand new tubes of Studio Sculpt Foundation that I HATE (NC25 and NC35) (If anyone wants them I'll sell them for super cheap!

) so I need to replace those anyway....

Ahahaha I hate my Studio Sculpt too.... I predict that I'm going to use it for B2M one day >_<

 

[aussiemacluvrrr]

^^ It just makes me sooooo freakin oily... Like "insta-oil"... It's almost magic the way it happens

 

[capmorlovesmac]

Ahhhhhh Studio Sculpt! I returned it.. it was "insta-zit" for my skin. *shudders*

I wrote TD a mail as well. Please.. please let us add like up to 20+ polishes with the UPS shipping.. I need my crack nail polishes!

 

[simplyenchantin]

I have an NW20 and NC20 Studio Sculpt too haha. I don't mind it but I have too many foundations so I barely get around to using it!

@ crack.... I totally understand.. when i read your post, I started getting all flustered just thinking about all the pretty polishes i may not be able to get.. serious hauling withdrawals...

 

[spectrolite]

^Me too!! I was so upset. I started ranting and raving to my partner like a mad woman because he was the only one around to take it out on lol!!

Poor guy....

Transdesign needs to at least explain themselves you know? Have something on their site that lets customers know why they had to increase prices. Maybe its some new customs laws?? I dunno it's just annoying and from the sounds of it they are going to be losing alot of business from over seas buyers.

I found a link to this site in my travels tonight: OPI nail polish treatment avoplex avojuice essie orly china glaze IBD axxium nail gel orly low shipping cheap discount discounter

Apparently they do 10 bottles for $19.99.... but the nail polish prices are higher from what I can see. $4.19 for CG

How come we are being tortured by these companies?! Why can't get have access to cheap products too?!
