I bought Crystal Rose lipglass from there recently and it was the real deal. There is a thread about it somewhere where a girl here vouches for the other girl who runs the site. Seems like a legit operation

I wouldnt.... like I said I press my own and 3/4 tsp is actually quite a lot of pigment!!! When you consider there are only around 3tsp in a full jar 3/4 tsp is *almost* 1/3 of an entire jar - you see those pans are pretty shallow for that much pigment.....I would think by comparion to my own theres prob around 1/2 tsp or less in some of those pans.

Heres a link to anyone interested in doing it themselves - super easy!!

You can get good priced pans from Cocktail Cosmetics

They ship first class international (up to 1lb), priority and express. My gloss was shipped first class and cost $7.75 and it was here in like 3 days. Really really quick! I'm thinking of getting a few more things next pay

 

[simplyenchantin]

ACW does indeed look good. I am eyeing off an eyeliner and a fluidline

 

[rockin26]

I'd rec Smart Poppy! I've bought a few things from there and have no complaints SmartPoppy Discount Cosmetics, Cheap Makeup

 

[scarlettgloss]

My experience with ACW was great. I paid $25 to ship 4 things and got them within a week.
Smartpoppy and cyberemporium are good too.

 

[miss_bailey]

Cyber Emporium is great and its Australian so thats a plus but I really think im gonna be putting in a HUGE order when my rudd money comes at ACW!

 

[jrm]

so ACW is definitely legit?

I was talking to MrsMay about it the other day after ordering something there, and she mentioned some places doing fake HK stuff, and I started freakin' out ...

Had so many bad past experiences with online sites and counterfeits

 

[spectrolite]

Cyber Emporium's page now says the Nars products are coming soon!! OMG so excited >_< I need more Nars Blush in my life.

I found this place yesterday:

Fresh Fragrances & Cosmetics| discount cosmetics discount perfume cheap make up skin care beauty

Seems legit. They have heaps of brands and only a small selection of MAC. I ordered some hair care products as they have a good range.
