No buy is definately happening for 6 months next year, I may start a thread if anyone wants to join/support each other?
Count me in! I'm sorting out my basics and listing what I want to try in each category and I've already started looking at my stash, already pulled out a bunch of LE Sleek palettes I barely touched.


Rant time: Selfridges website! Trying to order some bits for friends and the order wouldn't process twice, then I realised I had the wrong card and had left it at home. So I used paypal to complete the transaction since the right card was registered. Yeah, didn't process again!! One of the items I was getting went out of stock while I was in the process and of course the site doesn't tell me that. I had to check each item individually to make sure. So no Paypal has my money till Selfridges releases it, I don't really want to order again till I know it's sorted and I get my money back but christ what a fudge up.

Well I've ordered the Hourglass Luquid Lipstick in Muse and the pack of two Lipstick Queen Sinner formulas (Hot Rose and Fire Red) I caved in and decided to try the hourglass liquid lipstick because I really like those formulas as I love long wearing lipsticks. The YSL Glossy stains are the bomb and I also have a mac one. They aren't the easiest to put on and you have to be careful eating but otherwise they last all day! I'll tell you what it's like when I get it. As for the Lipstick Queen lippies you made me curious and now I wanted to try them. I'll tell you what I think. Hey I see you have the Kevyn Aucoin sculpture powder, what do you think? Has anyone got any other of his products??

Hope they sort it out for you! The site crashed on me so many times! But I didn't get anything :)

I haven't tried any of the Kevin Aucoin products but I remember Wayne Goss raving about a few products, they have a counter in the Birmingham store but I didn't check it out as I really don't need any more makeup! Lol

I've just spent far too much money ordering the Wayne Goss brushes as they came back in stock off Love Makeup. I hadn't even considered purchasing them before

Yes i like it much better than NYX taupe in my opinion, it is a very soft powder, blends really well and has that gray tone rather than orange!

they are lovely, I have the eye blending brushes and the small powder one, I use them all the time, so soft much nicer than my mac 217's. The small powder is great for blush contour highlight or precision powdering, use it all the time!

I know its too late for mushroomteagirl but on my last oder from love makeup I had a 10% off code which was valid until 20 Nov 2013, I just ordered another goss no 4 brush as I use mine daily and tried the code, it still works! I am going to sell my 217's as I much prefer this brush for crease and blending work. code is nov13 if anyone wants to try it! Also I am going to add some more bits to my sale over the weekend, including lots of mac and some tarte blushes, If anyone is after anything specific let me know I may be able to help if it is from an older mac collection, I haven't bought much MAC in the last 18 months. I spoke to a friend last night and we agreed that I need to half my collection by June, so I plan on using up stuff but also selling bits on here and ebay.

Sounds like you're doing well with your planning! I just did a ruthless clear out, I'll offer the bits up to my sis and mum. I've sold a few beauty bits on ebay for reasonably cheap prices, im not precious about getting anywhere near the original rrp but I can't compete with people selling fakes or starting listings at 99p! :/

I try to sell on here as well, and I have had a lot of success, my first problem occured today, I sold a 15 pan palette with my collection of pressed pigments, except all but one of the pigments smashed in transit ;-( Kind of not surprised as they are delicate but I used loads of bubble wrap etc. Now I have to try to claim off collect plus for the damage :-( I already offer the lady a refund once collect plus pay out compensation but I suspect its going to be quite difficult to deal with collect plus :-( Note to self, don't send hand pressed pigments-disaster waiting to happen!

So far nothing from them. Haven't had time to ring but Paypal are being just as useless. Turned off from ordering from Selfridges now. The email I sent to customer services hasn't been replied to either and it's been over a day now since I sent it. We'll probably go London on saturday to buy since I was getting stuff for friends in the US otherwise I wouldn't bother at all.

Actually it's not that bad as i have had to claim from them before for missing items that i'd sold through eBay, i thought it would be much worse from what i'd read online.

I had a problem last year with selfridges when I placed an order for a 75ml illamasqua perfume gift set and they sent me a 30ml gift set. I rang them and they where useless so I posted a complaint on twitter and that got their attention sure enough. I was told to email them my details which I did and they got back to me saying they will see what they can do and contact me again. Two weeks past and they did no such thing so I sent them a tweet again and an email after which they contacted me and offered me a £30 voucher so I could buy the full size perfume if I returned the 30ml set which I did.

It was not a great experience at all but my advice is if you want their attention send them a tweet or post on facebook as they respond faster as it's ruining their brands appearance! I prefer their CS then Debenhams but imo Estee Lauder companies CS are the best (I've only had experiences with MAC and Jo Malone)

That's good to know I've been meaning to try some of his brushes - might order some if I get through this weekend without buying anything...

yeah i've had some trouble with online returns with selfridges and they just didn't get back to me so i rang them, didn't sort it out so i had to ring them again because they ignored emails.
it does seem nowadays that if you want a problem sorted with a company, that you have to make your grievances public, but they've made it that way!

any problems i've ever had with mac online is a different story, i've always had the issue resolved with bonuses! :)
