    I live in the US so I was able to order it the day it came out.
    Ooooh I see.....not jealous I swear :o

    I got it in Weirs Pharmacy in Mullingar.

    A quick Google brings it up on these websites.

    http://www.fragrancex.com/products/_cid_Make--Up-am-lid_M-am-sid_12747780902__products.html - I've never ordered from this website and don't know anything about it, so I'd be very wary of ordering from it. Also it is in America I think so you could be caught for extra charges by customs if you order from it. Personally, I'd order from Amazon as it is far more reliable.



    fragrancex is legitimate and a great site - have ordered from them multiple times,good prices and fast delivery! :D

    Picked one of the no7 Ultimate Collection gift sets for myself this morning plus I got the free gift too. It was €40 which is pretty good value. I've used the protect and perfect moisturisers before and found them very good.

    Don't think I'll go for the Soap and Glory Box this year as I've still to use half the stuff from last year's one and to be honest this years one doesn't seem as good.

    So, I had a gift certificate and bought the Smashbox Photo Finish Primer after hearing all the rave reviews about it... I'm really disappointed, especially with the cost of it! I don't notice much of a difference at all. Perhaps the combo of my foundation and the primer isn't great, I don't know. But I am just really bummed out about that! :( Does anyone recommend alternatives that they have had better experience with?

    Ladies, does anyone know if the Boots in Waterford still has the Soap & Glory gift bag? I wanted to get one on Saturday but couldn't fit one in my bag so I'm hoping they might still have them and I'm going to try to sneak in after work tomorrow.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,107 ✭✭✭booboo88

    There's a thread in Bargain Alerts about it. You could try asking there.

    Was this an eye or face primer? I'm currently using the smashbox one, but not sure if im too keen on it. It does work, but you need to use a good bit of product. I cant rub it in to my eyelids, i need to pat it down gently, so it still feels tacky. It does the job once i do that, but applying the base isnt easy then as my eyeshadow brush keeps getting caught on the primer :( I spent 22 quid on it though, so i cant just chuck it away!

    Oops, sorry! Forgot to mention the place.:o:o

    Well with Christmas around the corner, and then sales after, I didn't want to spend a fortune on make up for the christmas season. I popped into boots and picked up the 17 Starry eyes trio in Neptune.
    http://www.boots.com/en/17-Starry-Eyes-Trio-Eyeshadow_1143660/

    It comes with a shimmery gold, a deep matte aubergine purple and a glittery charcoal colour. I couldn't be happier with it. Decent quality for the price! The gold goes on like a dream, and the colours all look fantastic on. Beautiful make up for the winter/christmas season, and definitely one I'll be using a lot for nights out!
