If I think it's dodgy I'll just return it so thought I'd try and see what turns up!
Is that the policy you can return them As when I had ordered oh my gosh we couldn't return Loads of girls had ordered the same whom we were all on this Fb group lol thinking we was getting a great deal I think they were in real boxes but you could just see they were fake Anyhow went through pp to get money back Luv kilt we all paid via paypal and paypal got our money back I hope yours is ok I think I bought mine in 2013 not sure though Maybe 2012 I wanna say it was from that site as that's the only dodgy emails I have through lol which say items are half price or percentage off givenchy bags etc

Hi thanks for feedback well having about 60 bottles of all diff perfumes I wanted a new one but wasn't too sure which Hubby went to duty free during work and I had said about the mj one but he had smelt that and was keen but said I wouldn't like it lol Anyhow I told him to buy it and I opened it Friday ( birthday was Halloween ) so anyhow loved it omg :)) def one I like . I own nowt of the mj ones and out of all my perfume coll I haven't one that smells like this so I was made up Ps loving the bottle too just love it So different :)))
I have to admit it is an unusual scent, which is what I liked about it. I will be trying it again because I was testing a few that day, I have a "system" when I try perfumes (I know, I'm daft lol) I have a few of his perfumes, I liked Lola the most. I like the Diesel Loverdose line aswell, they are unusual. I dread to even think how many perfumes I have, I recently moved and all of my collection ended up taking 4 large boxes.

I really like Decadence! I've been wearing it a lot lately. It's not in my top 5 but it definitely got in my top 10.


Edit: As for secretsales, I have two watches from them and they are not fake. I hope everything is ok with the MAC products, my concern would be the expiration date, not the authenticity.

Not sure if people are aware but I noticed a couple of week ago that TJ Hughes had some Mac products online. Not sure about Authenticity or anything, I'm guessing that they will be ok. They did have quite a bit at the time but knowing them there is a fast turnover on items.

They have to accept returns as per distance selling regulations (or something like that!) and if they dont.... well like you say paypal :)

To be fair, Ive bought quite a lot of stuff from secretsales and its always been fine, but I will post some pics on here when they arrive and people can have a look :)

re: secretsales and t j Hughes selling Mac - if they are then it might be a similar to the sale of Mac within the Estée Lauder cosmetics outlet, which as well as selling the unsold limited edition stuff, sells some of the permanent products at a discount because they are 'old' in terms of their batch date. Did you know that you could buy a lipstick on counter today and it might already be three years old!? You can check the batch codes online it's crazy! And re: Marc Jacobs decadence - a very sexy strong perfume and I wish I could wear it but it has that strength that gives me a migraine the way Thierry muglers angel does :( still, I'm glad others get to enjoy it as I think it's a good one!

We used to have a TJ Hughes in our shopping centre, and they sold odds and ends of various brands of makeup. I bought quite a few Stila items from them quite cheaply and they were always genuine, as well as Revlon nail polishes and even a few Urban Decay bits. The only thing is you had to make sure you checked the products before buying, as sometimes people had opened them in the store and dipped their fingers in. Some cream eyeshadows and pots of lip gloss were a real mess. I didn't realise they sold online as well.

I see adverts for Secretsales on TV every day, between episodes of Friends (my daughter watches endless repeats) and I keep hearing "Friends, sponsored by secretsales.com"

We used to have one ages ago, that's where I got most of my makeup stuff from. That used to drive me daft though, when people would stick their fingers in but the most annoying thing that I've ever seen was in TK Maxx, I saw this girl painting all of her nails and then putting the polish back on the shelf afterwards. The last thing I got from TK Maxx I had to search through the shelves for one that hasn't been messed with (the Too Faced A La Mode palette, £7.99)

Just to say secret sales I think it was whom I ordered from a few years back nothing showing up on my account But they do have my address and they have my email too and I don't think I had given them my address just to sign up with them So yeah it must be when I sign in it does look familiar Maybe everything apart from mac is legit :) And mac just isn't somehow And if you email mac they would want to know where your getting the products from and will tell you that mac only sell real products from the free standing mac shops and department shops and them direct online So you could also email them to ask :)))

I think everyone has a coping mechanism when they lose someone. I use makeup, especially lipsticks to almost relate to my Nanna who died when I was a teenager, before I was interested in makeup. My Nanna used to have her lippy on all the time and she loved her makeup. I have an excuse for my nail polishes, acrylic powders, glitter and nail art stuff because I'm a Beauty Therapist/Nail Technician and Hairdresser so it's the perfect cover up lol.

People always say it gets easier but it doesn't really, you just learn to hide it better, it always hits me around Christmas time, the only deaths that I've had to cope with are my Nanna and Grandad. One of the worst days for me was when I passed my driving test because me and my grandad always talked about me driving and when he was first diagnosed with cancer he said that he would of liked to of been here for the first drive in my car. Also it got to me when I graduated university. I always think that they are still with me, when I was taking my test, my grandad was with me. They may not be here in body but they are here in spirit.
