It is a horrible feeling losing a phone, I have to wait a for a month till the next iPhone comes out till I get a new one :/ I hate the feeling that someone else has got my phone :(

They turned the phone off straight away, I'm guessing they knew what they where doing and have stolen before :/

 

 

Yup I have Find My phone app but the location service was off so I have no way of locating it :/ also because they turned it off they weren't getting my messages or anything so I've wiped my phone and have blocked the phone and sim. Its a shame that there's nothing you can do when you've lost a phone if you have no insurance!

 

 

Hopefully they will learn to behave next time, we had loads of kids down as well as it was my nieces birthday party, though I wasn't in much of a party mood today :/

Oh poor you; definitely the end of the school holidays isn't it?  My nine year old has taken to whacking my fourteen year old in the region of his appendectomy scar :(  Back to school next Tuesday... 

 

Oh dear!! If you have home contents insurance check if your policy has personal possessions cover added to it, if so then you can claim for your phone on that.

That sounds like something mine would do. My eldest has permanent scarring on her face due to her sister scratching her. It's Wednesday for us, Tuesday's inset day sadly. Although my husband has taken today and tomorrow off, then it's the weekend, so hopefully it'll be easier.

Wednesday is back to school day for my daughter.  She's going to have to start getting up early again (and so am I, sadly).  I don't know how she's going to manage it, the lazy stop-abed.

 

I was talking on the phone until 4:30am this morning, yet I was up by 9:30. 

My eldest is starting secondary school and will need to leave the house at 7.10 in the morning! She normally doesn't even get up by then. Ouch!

 

Somebody was trying to sell a Pleasureflush MSF on eBay for £125, it hads bids up to £57, but it says the reserve price wasn't met. How anyone would think an MSF would be worth £125, it wasn't even new. And someone bid £57 for it! Wow! Maybe I should sell one of mine, lol.
 

Thanks, I'll have to check :) 

 

I have a scar on my arm from when I was younger when my sister scratched me, its been years and it's still there :/

I wonder how much a brand new one would go for! 

I bought mine for about £55 I think, but it was about 3 years ago. Don't even know if there are any new ones left now, it's been nearly 10 years since Pleasureflush was released.

 

 

Yes, back to getting up early here too.  Things slip quite considerably over the summer holiday here as regards getting up/going to bed times.  My older ones have to get the bus at 7:30, and they haven't seen 7:30 for weeks!  The thought of going back to all the packed lunches etc almost makes me consider home schooling.  OK, nothing would really make me consider home schooling, but you know what I mean!

 

I'm torn.  I've just put myself on a no-buy when the SA from Estee Lauder in HoF phones me up - they've got a nice promotion going, buy two items (one skincare) and get a nice GWP.  Please tell me I don't need anything.....

Has anyone started stalking the Mac website yet? If Ruffian is coming out this month (by the way, did you see the post on the Early Buzz thread? there are so many collections coming out in September!), I really want to pick up Ruffian Red l/s. Otherwise I only want Supercontinental which I'll be picking up with my HoF vouchers on Thursday.

 

I finished organising my nail polish stash and the inventory, I have 507 nail polishes! OMG! I knew I had a lot, but that's just mind boggling. I have a few on my wishlist, but other than that I really need to stop buying them now, I have more than I can use within 2 years (even if I paint my nails every 2-3 days). Crazy.
 

Does anybody have a clue as to when the MAC Style Seeker collection will be released? There are a few pieces that I simply must get my hands on!!

Any day now, I'm guessing sometime before or on Tuesday (online), Thursday at the counters.

 

Nothing is exciting me for September. I feel like MAC's collections are full of products that I already have - I can't justify another brown eyeshadow, another red lipstick or another pink lipgloss. They just seem to be items that should be in the permanent collection, rather than fun, exciting, new products that I have nothing like!

So many collections coming out at once.  I'm going to have to drastically cut down this time.   

Eek! I thought that was coming out next month! I seriously cannot afford any makeup this month :(

 

That's the problem with all these limited edition collections.  You have to either get them straight away, or miss out.  It would be so much better if they were available for 2 or 3 months

 

I'm going to have to skip Ruffian Red if I want Ruffian Gold.  Luckily I have a lot of other reds

Have you bought anything from the Art Deco Dita collection, Dawn?

 

I've just gone out to the shops (children and husband were getting on my nerves) and treated myself to an Estee Lauder nail polish. It was free with my Debenhams points (I still have £16 left on it, yay!). :)

 

I don't really want anything from Mac this month other than Ruffian Red and Supercontinental. The Carine Rottfield or whatever she's called collection is really naff, I've seen the swatches and they are awful. :S

I haven't bought any of the Dita stuff yet.  Money's tight, and I wanted to be sure what I wanted from MAC this month.  I have £50 of HoF vouchers, but they can't be used online and our HoF doesn't have MAC, so I would have to go in and order, and risk things being sold out in the meantime, so I will have to use those on permanent MAC, or stuff that isn't likely to sell out too quickly.

 

 

 

 

Edit:  Thank you for reminding me - they didn't have either the face powder or the eyeshadow box left, so I've managed to find those elsewhere, and grabbed the rest from Debenhams.  Guess I'll have to be extra specially careful with the MAC purchases this month.  Some of the Dita eyeshadows (the glamour ones) are actually permanent colours given new names, but the same numbers, so I can get those ones another time.

Well, nothing has arrived.

 

I've contacted my bank and it looks like they're going to give me a refund so I should at least get my money back.

 

I am still really disappointed tbh, especially as it had Parrot e/s and I've wanted it for so long. :(

I'm sorry :( Was it someone from Specktra?

It's good that you can get your money back at least. If it was someone from Specktra, you should name and shame them. Can you leave feedback for them?

Yeah, it was.

 

Australian user named iheartmakeup.  I've informed one of the admins who is trying to look into it - but everyone has given her good feedback and received their items which is why I'm just so confused about it.  She seems like a nice girl, but she doesn't come on often enough to reply to messages so I've been left in the dark with no package arriving.  Maybe she has sent it and it's been lost or at customs, I don't know but it's been nearly a month since she said she re-sent it and nothing has arrived and no other messages from her.  It's depressing.  I'm back on my hunt for Parrot :(

I know her. She used to have a blog, Too Much Blush. She used to live in England for a while. Em or Emily I think she was called. I once bought something from her blog sale and it was a bit weird, she never responded, but the package turned up eventually.

 

 

Yeah.  Em is what I know of her as.  How long did it take for your package to turn up?  If it does show up I don't mind re-paying at all, but going this long I didn't think it'd be wise to leave it any longer especially as paypal refused to even deal with the issue as it had been over 45 days.

I'm not sure, a week and a half maybe? But she was still in the UK then. It was just weird because I e-mailed her a couple of time to ask if she had posted it and she never replied, and it was the same with another blogger I know. It was all fine in the end, just very unprofessional.

 

 

Well I suppose at least you got your items.

 

I've managed to get what seems to be an authentic Parrot off the US eBay.  Paid double retail which annoys the hell out of me but I'm desperate for that shade.  Hope it's worth it.  Suppose if not I could re-sell it on here to try and recoup at least some of my money.

It seems Debenhams are starting to put up the new Mac collections.

 

And I was looking at the Mac lipsticks and noticed they still have LE ones like Force of Love (!), Dish It Up, Watch Me Simmer and Runaway Red in case anyone's interested!
 

So I see Styleseeker is out today.  Which other collections are we expecting?  I've lost track.

 

Most importantly, are any coming out which are MAC online only?  I'd hate to be waiting for them to appear at Debenhams or HoF and miss out.
