Got a few elf products in the post today!

Studio pressed powder in Porcelain:

I was hoping for it to be more translucent, but it does give a bit of colour. I like it though. It seemed to blend really smoothly into my skin today, and of course help set my foundation.

Studio blush in Candid Coral:

Lovely shade, perfect for subtle everyday wear.

Studio contouring Blush and Bronzer:
http://eyeslipsface.co.uk/content/ebiz/shop/invt/83600/83601_contouring_blush_&_bronzing_powder_XL.jpg

Not as light as the picture suggests, but I like it. I slightly lighter version of my original one, so more of a day time look.

Mineral moisturising lip tint in Rose:
http://eyeslipsface.co.uk/content/ebiz/shop/invt/6760/6768_moisturising_lip_tint_spf_8_XL.jpg

Love love love! It really is moisturising. It goes on so silky and smooth, and the colour is the perfect rose pink shade.

Jumbo eye stick in Little Miss Thing:
http://eyeslipsface.co.uk/content/ebiz/shop/invt/21630/21631_jumbo_eyeshadow_stick_XL.jpg

More gold and shimmery than I thought it would be. Had hoped it to be an everyday product when I dont want to bother with my usual eyesahadow, but now I'm not sure.


I also picked up the Confessions of a Concealaholic kit by Benefit recently:

I really do love the erase paste and the 2 boing concealers. They allow me to obtain full converage without using a heavy foundation, which is what I was looking for coming into summer.
Really not sold on the that gal primer and eyebright. The primer seems like more of a liquid highlight to me, and the eyebright as far as I can tell does absolutely nothing. It barely shows up on the brush!

Mine was dispatched on the 3rd and I got it yesterday, so about 2 weeks.
Yours should be here soon!

Just one for other fine haired ladies like myself!

Bought Aussie Mega Shampoo and tried it out this week, it's a really great shampoo for fine hair and does the same type of job as my beloved Pantene Aqualight but smells much nicer:)

Was big into Aussie when I was a teenager only rediscovering them now but got a few of their conditioners to use too!

they're fairly glossy, then stain your lips for a good few hours but if you go outside your lips & try clean it up it tends to smudge & stain your face a bit too! I still wear them a lot though

Love them. I find them the longest lasting lip glosses I own. Colour pay-off is brilliant too. Definitely recommend.

I use this on extremely thick normal/oily hair daily, it's great as a frequent use shampoo for me.

I ordered this in theBalm sale that was last Monday (took forever to come!!). It is normally $39.50 and on sale it was $19.75, so I'm stoked about that!



The Balm Jovi palette. The names are cute. I don't know if you can see them, but they are: Metal-ica, Iron Maid-In, Lead Zeppelin, Alice Copper, Adagio, Allegro, Moderato, Presto, Blink 1982, The Stroke, rem, Third Eye Blinded, Solid Gold (luminizer), Don't You Want Me? (blush), Milly & Vanilly (lipsticks).

Twee.

Loving my new moisturiser! Beautiful smell and it's really thick. They have lighter ones but I explained to the girl that I was having trouble with dry skin on my legs and she recommended this ons. It was on special offer too, in Arnotts.

Bought the Rimmel apocalypse in celestial (couldn't get the peachy one anywhere!)..love it!

Nice thick not sticky gloss at first, it got all over my teeth though, and now a few hours later my lips are smoothly stained the same colour!

My lips aren't in best of condition ATM but it hasn't stuck in anywhere, in love!!

I wouldn't worry yet, can take up to 2 weeks. Have been using them years and have never had a problem or not gotten an order.

I received no order confirmation email form iHerb, so went to their website to login and its telling me that my email address doesn't exist

Anyone know what their customer services is like? Going to email them now about it.


I definitely entered the right email address (I copied and pasted it from a word document and used it on another website, so I know it was definitely correct).

I tweeted them the last day and they replied really quickly so maybe try that.

Thanks, I have no Twitter account though.

I did email them at 4.10pm and requested a delivery and read receipt, but haven't had anything back yet, so we'll see.

Are they based in China/Asia?

I found the peachy one! It's quite a nice colour, bit bold for me though!
But, unfortunately, it stuck more into my lips when I first put it on making them look chapped, and it didn't seem to go on as evenly as celestial.

But once the gloss wore off it was actually really nice and much more subtle, but I was still quite disappointed

I've seen Rosehip Oil mentioned a few times in this thread. Anyone able to tell me where I could purchase it? Preferably the A'kin one as I've heard some mixed reviews about Trilogy.

I get on really well with eyebright! I did find that it took a few uses for it to soften up enough to appear on the brush, so I kinda just dug in a little :-/ but it worked fine then, I found that it was just very compacted to start with. Think that's because it's usually sold in pencil form? I'd say give it a chance.

Hmm, okay I might try using it again. How exactly do you use it yourself?

Still no word, very worried now. Order was almost €20, so if I hear nothing by Friday I think I'll speak to the bank about cancelling the payment or starting a charge back.

I got my Real technique your eyes enhanced starter set this morning. Really pleased with them. Cost €15 in total. Same set was €28.99 in boots!

I it right on the inside corner of my eye where it's darkest and sometimes a little further around that area if I'm looking a bit dull and tired. I find it brightens and opens up my eyes, but I suppose it'll depend on the person.
