^who was selling it for retail price? im so jealous lol!

 

[The_Ida]

^Just search eBay, they keep popping up from time to time...you have to be quick though

 

[lifeistiffanyblu]

I will keep trying lol.
i guess today's not a day a lot of people bother posting new things up on ebay so I will wait until tomorrow or so!

thanks so much i already wrote on their website and told them i cant find it in superdrug stores anywhere(i live in central london) and havent seen it in any of the 4 stores i visited...it would be a miracle if they said oh here well sell you one directly lol

that would be a dream come true though!
lol

GUYS!!
so like 4 days ago i purchased l"oreal's Telescopic explosion mascara, which is a drugstore dupe of Givenchy's Phenomen'eyes...I REALLY WANTED TO LIKE IT!

but alas, i cant! i keep getting like a HUGE amount of mascara gunk every single time i pull the wand out.. the round tip is significantly smaller than the givenchy one, so it takes me SOO long to get all my lashes covered,i serioulsy sometimes spend like 15 minutes with this mascara and then my lashes are ALWAYS stuck/clumped to gether..im so disappointed guys!

Hmm.. that's funny.. I LOVE Telescopic. I will not use another liquid eyeliner.

Hmm.. that's funny.. I LOVE Telescopic. I will not use another liquid eyeliner.

maybe im applying it incorrectly?

yesterday i purchased Revlon nailpolish in "Revlon Red"....OMG I HEART THIS!!!!!!!!!

its a GORGEOUS true red, and it makes my short nails look really really polished and professional, and even a bit....tarty?

its great, one coat is all you need, its a very saturated color...i love classic reds, and this is one of them..it dries glossy...its wonderful...and it was like $3 or $4 US

the one thing about it is when ur removing it, be careful to not get it on ur skin, it will stain it slightly..other than that, wow!.....

Just got the Sleek Storm palette. OMG. I have nothing but love for this.

Elf emailed to say they are having a sale,if you spend £15 or more,enter the code JANSALE for a free mini make up kit

I'm editing this cos the email and the website is a little misleading....what sale?! Having said that,I don't know how you can reduce a price from £1.50

 

[The_Ida]

^

I can't even buy for £15, I don't need that much stuff

 

[loonaka]

Just got the Sleek Storm palette. OMG. I have nothing but love for this.

I want it too!! Where did you get it?

 

[The_Ida]

^The usual place...

I haven't tried out the blush yet because my cheeks were all pink from being outside (minus 10 degrees celsius...winter aint fun), but I'm very excited

 

[loonaka]

hey we have -20 here haha but it's good cause my makeup is like frozen to my face now

 

[The_Ida]

^I KNOW! I didn't use anything water based today because I get broken capillaries soooo easily. I hate this, I really do.

BTW anyone in here know Gosh? Danish brand i think, makes a lot of affordable stuff. Some of it is pretty brilliant! Their waterproof eye shadow stick is the best base ever - whatever you put on top will not budge. They also don't add perfume, very nice! Their pigments (called Effect Powder) are very nice as well and comes in a lot of different colours. Brilliant for those who love their brights!

And I think they are against animal testing, in case anyone is wondering.

 

[loonaka]

I know about it, but I've never bought anything..they have it at health stores here..

 

[dumbfairy]

I never knew Gosh was Danish. I had one of their mascaras a while back,can't remember what I thought of it though. As for Sleek,I really want to buy the acid colours eyeshadow pallet Hoping to find it in store tomorrow

 

[loonaka]

I got my sleep palettes today^^ Swaps ASAP

I've heard of ELF some time ago and today I finally convinced my mom to give me her Visa.
I ordered:

Mineral Foundation

Blush Peachy Keen

Pressed Powder

Lengthening And Volumising Mascara in black

Kabuki brush

Lip Primer And Plumper

Super Glossy Lip Shine: Juiced Berry

Everything for just £27.95 (shipping included)!

Can't wait to get it, I hope it won't take long.
Btw, I use MAC NC15 foundation and I took the mineral foundation and the pressed powder in the brightest shade (for porcelain skin and neutral undertones), is that ok?

From cheaper cosmetics I also know Essence, the packages are a bit girly but I really like nail polishes from Show Your Feet line (1, 70€), Ready to Relax Cucumber Eye & Face Pads and hand creams are lovely too.

 

[The_Ida]

^I haven't got a clue I only got their brushes (brilliant), but I think their lightest colours look VERY light. You must tell about the mineral foundation!

 

[Miwi]

I hope so! I'll tell how it works, of course. It's my first mineral thingy, let's hope for the best.
I made a mistake, it's not Peachy Keen, but Candid Coral.

 

[dumbfairy]

Great order Isa I think that the foundation and powder shade should be ok,but it's always so hard to tell through a computer screen what shade it will actually be
