this isn't intended on being a review, nessicarily..
I placed an order over a month ago with cherryculture.com. I live in Canada, and haven't been able to find ANY NYX products in my city... so I figured as they were having an sale, I might as well try out some of their products.
first off, they were having a "Spend 50$ or more and recieve free shipping!" sale, and it was only AFTER I checked out my order, it said the sale was only for thos who reside in the U.S. I paid 15.00 for shipping, even though the site's FAQ says it should be around 9 dollars USD. Anyway, I put the order through and waited and waited for it to finish processing. the site says it's supposed to be processed and shipped within the next few days- it took them ten days just to process my order. I finally contacted them asking what the holdup was, and they said they had placed my order that day, but wouldn't explain the holdup. Yesturday it arrived, around 24 days AFTER it had been shipped! it was shipped via airmail, and was SUPPOSED to be here between 4-6 days. I made sure the order was done after the christmas rush... & I still can't understand the holdup at the post, unless they didn't actually ship out when they claimed to have done. The site is also verry annoying- if you spend any more than twenty minutes browsing their site, your cart will empty itself right out!
the postage was marked on the package 4.42 CAD! I understand that I'm paying for the box and 'wax paper' they wrap it with, but I still don't see why the postage was so much. I contacted them about that too, and they wouldn't return my money or give me credit. Also, I looked at both their site AND the NYX site for the swatches of their eyeshadow and lipsticks... I bought around 20 or so eyeshadows, and at least half of the same are VERY similar, which they do not appear on the site. a few of the products, especially the yellows and browns, are almost identical.
I purchased 'nude' lipsticks too, which are an hideous purple-brown color, and look awful on my pale skin. again, NOT what they appear to be on the site.
I'm going to contact them again about putting up more accurate photos... I don't mean to sound bitchy or anything, but I waited so long and put in so much money for my order of cheap makeup... in the end it just was not worth it. I have yet to try the eyeshadow to see how bright and vibrant the colors will be. but as of now, i am very disapointed....
has anyone else ever had a negative experience with cherryculture?? I doub't i'll be purchasing from them any time soon.
