Bought the ABH Modern Renaissance Palette recently and have to say it really does live up to the hype it has received! Even the brush it comes with I find very good. Love letter in the palette is one of my favourite eye shadows to date. Love the colour options with this palette and find the pigmentation and longevity of the colour on the eyes fantastic. Would highly recommend it!
Great to hear! I just ordered that palette yesterday. The colours look beautiful. Can't wait to to get it!

Ordered it yesterday too, struggling to justify it tho as I've recently bought the Too Faced Sweet Peach one too. But I'm a sucker for warm tones so had to get it. Think that'll be my last palette now tho unless I can get my hands on the Kat Von D shade and light eye one!0 -

Sounds complicated, but i think it's pretty easy once you sign up. I can get you the name of the company if you like
That'd be great thank you. 0 -

pallette? Trying to justify it to myself
I have the dolce vita and the vintage vamp palettes from CT and I love them! I have used the dolce vita more. The shadows are so smooth and blendable - just wish they were cheaper 0 -

I got a sample of the naked skin foundation and am in love with it, so will pick a bottle of that up. I'll probably get another bottle of setting spray too - should I stick with the all nighter or is the deslick one good? I can get oily on my forehead but nothing too bad.
I already have 3 urban decay eyeshadow palettes
so am sorted in that regard. Really struggling to think of anything else to get, hence my post!
If you are still looking for something to pick up from UD, try the Naked Illuminations highlighter in Luminous. I went on a bit of a highlighter bender lately.
Got that one and a very, very little goes a long way so good value and I also picked up the Inglot Illuminizing Loose powder in the 43 and its lovely, more for the day than the UD one imo.
Question?
Has anyone else had issue with MUFE foundations? I have used all of them and imho they were all rubbish and a huge waste of money.
I love the MUFE Aqua Smokey Lash. That and the Clinque have been the best mascaras I have ever used. It would take semtex to remove the Aqua Lash
Also just to say for fellow "Boots" addicts, they have a great offer on atm. Whe you spend over €70 you get a great beauty box free(worked out great for me as I had to buy a couple of birthday pressies, I HATE July lol)but felt I got a sneaky little something for myself.
It has a soap and glory duo pencil, Big bottle of lovely Champneys body lotion, Soltan face 30spf, No7 Airbrush Away primer(20 odd quid alone), Botanics Purifying Face scrub and a bottle of Mark Hill volumizer. All good size items(not trial sizes)0 -

I tried 3 different Boots for that beauty box over the weekend. The first one wasn't doing it as it wasn't a "flagship" store, and the other two were out of them. I was so disappointed
Could have ordered online, but my problem was that I needed to stock up on vitamins that they don't have on their website for some reason!0 -

Funnily enough, I looked on the Boots site last night to see if I could link it and couldn't find the offer
I'm not sure where you are Ankhyu, but I got mine in the Jervis sc in Dublin only on Saturday and they had quite a lot of them.
Hope this helps 0 -

It was only running for the weekend unfortunately so I've missed out, thanks though I ended up just buying the Mark Hill serum because that was the main thing in it I was excited about trying out! 0 -

I posted before about trying to get goodies from Boots after the offer ended(Estee Lauder)and the girl had some left over under the counter and gave it to me(I casually mentioned missing out on the offer :pac:)
Might be worth a shot. Will you review the Mark Hill when you use it? 0 -

Just for anyone thinking of getting a HerClutterBox. I ordered one in Jan, got delivered in April. A month ago when I was opening the bottom drawer part of the drawer snapped off. I don't use the drawer much. It's for "going out palettes" so it's not like it broke due to overuse. They are refusing to refund me or replace it (or even just replace the broken drawer). I'm absolutely raging because it was so expensive 0

I never heard of them so had a quick look at their website.... I can't get over the prices! I bought the exact same drawer set and nail polish rack on amazon for max 30. I'd be fuming!

Contact this crowed as you may be covered under the Sale of Goods and Supply of Services Act 1980 as you could argue that the goods were not fit for purpose given how quickly they broke.
http://thecai.ie/your-rights/your-rights/know-your-rights/
The CAI are extremely helpful. I would fire them off an email ASAP outlining everything and including all the information, etc and they should be able to help you.0 -
These are just fantastic!!
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Osco-Clear-Acrylic-Tier-Sorter/dp/B003QGFB0O/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1432583413&sr=8-6&keywords=acrylic+storage
I bought five units & LOVE them!!!
Highly recommend them to any collectors as they stack perfectly & hold loads.
They are intended for A4 paper storage! :eek:Comparison
Amazon Osco Clear acrylic box £22 (about €31) plus free delivery & Amazon's quibble free customer service
Length 320mm x Width 240mm x Height 135mm
Drawer height 4cm
Storage volume 10368 cubic centimetres (probably a dodgy calculation!!!) :rolleyes:
Crystal Clear Herclutterbox.ie €139 plus €9.99 shipping charge
Length 250mm x Width 290mm x Height 270mm
Storage volume 19575 cubic centimetres (probably another dodgy calculation!!!)
So you could get 4 of the Amazon ones & still have change out of the cost of 1 Herclutterbox unit!!! :eek: :eek:
MUJI Acrylic Box - 5 Drawers £24.95
Dimensions: W: 260mm x H: 160mm x
175mm
Internal drawer height 2.5cm
The MUJI is considerably smaller all round & the drawers are very shallow as you noted when you tried your foundation in them!Yes, I fit all my makeup with the exception of my ELF HD Powder container which is huge!!
If you order these, you will be delighted with them.
I couldn't believe how big they are. :eek:
I also had a look in the Muji shop in town & the Amazon ones are streets ahead.
Far better value too...even with the exchange rate being crap!

So sorry to hear this but you should definitely contact the Consumer Association of Ireland, as Strippedboxers suggested.
Products must be fit for purpose, and for a reasonable period of usage...4 months would not be considered reasonable.
I believe that, even if HerClutterBox don't offer a warranty of at least one year, you are protected under Irish Consumer law (assuming they have nominated Irish law as their governing legislation if they are not based here), and the products should have lasted a minimum of two years.
If memory serves, electrical appliances, such as washing machines for example, must function correctly for a minimum of six years.
Best of luck...but don't let them away with it!!! :eek:
You could even take a small claims action against them...this might prompt them to sort it out for you.
I quoted some of my old posts above in case anyone is looking for makeup organisers.
I have mine almost two years now & they are just FANTASTIC!!!
I have added numerous new ones & my makeup room looks so professional & organised...not a bit like me, sadly!!! :rolleyes:0 -
