They will leave a slip in your letter box and you go to your local depot and collect it.

My last local depot only opened during working hours, when I have work. I'll probably not be able to get to it at all. I'm seriously stressed.

Have you tried contacting them they might be able to help! Or has it already shipped?

Did you get hit with customs?

Yeah I did unfortunately! Still worth it imo.

Got the ultimate basics yesterday! The packaging is disgustingly beautiful with a huge mirror- very 'naked-on-the-run-esque'- and the colours are great!

Messed around with it last night but it didn't really blow me away... The shimmer shade is so neutral that it doesn't really come up on my skin id prefer a much stronger colour for highlighting.. The other colours are lovely I found myself making looks that have become staples when using the ABH modern Renaissance palette with the purples and that gorgeous rusty red shade, but this UD one would be so much more portable (mostly out of fear) as it's more compact and in tougher packaging.

Glad I got it overall I don't have many neutral palettes but at the same price point as the other nakeds (1-3) need to remember that this is less a basic palette and more a restructured Naked 4 with slightly less product (fill weight 1.2g vs 1.3 for other naked palettes) and a smaller brush!

After all my complaining the post man delivered it at 7.30 this morning, lol, I feel silly!

So I got the Becca Youthful glow kit

https://www.cultbeauty.co.uk/becca-cosmetics-best-of-becca-youthful-glow-kit.html

I wanted the primer and undereye corrector so this was great value for me-even used it this morning.
I'm a little hungover today so my skin needed a pick me up!

Thinking of heading to Arnotts at the weekend to buy one of the new NYX eyeshaddow pallets - has anyone tried yet?

I recently bought one of the MAC pallets going through the airport, and now I also want to buy the Naked Basics one because I have Naked 1,2 and 3 and love them.

Am I mad? It seems like I'll have rather a lot!

retro:electro

Just purchased the Naked Ultimate Basics palette solely for that gorgeous rusty orange colour. Am dying to try it. Barely noticed all the other colours that one just grabbed my attention straight away

Also bought the new UD Naked basics ultimate. Didnt need it but that didnt stop me . I was originally planning on buying it before I opted for the Kat Von D one but had to have it when i seen it in the flesh - clearly I have a problem
It will actually fit into my collection as have not only hit pan on the original basics palettes but actually have empty pans!!!

The blank canvas brushes are really good - I didnt think they would be but was really surprised. The f20 flat kabuki is my favourite foundation brush! The E26 is just as good as the mac 217 at a fraction of the price!

If anyone likes No7 moisturiser boots have a great set on sale for 75 with day cream, night cream, face serum, body serum, hand cream and eye cream. It's fantastic value!!

Also thanks to a Wayne Goss vid on YT I bought a good few products by The Ordinary. Can't wait to try them out when they arrive!

Ran out of foundation recently so as Boots had a BOGOHP offer I stocked up.

I picked up Bourjois Radiance Reveal Healthy Mix Foundation (my usual one) and the Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Gel foundation, I tried the gel one the other day, its lovely, gives a gorgeous finish that's sheer but buildable, however, it does cling to and show up dry skin. I have dry skin around my nose in the colder weather (not flaky or anything) but it clung to it and showed it up something rotten, so I'll need to prime or something and see if that helps with showing it up.

I had Boots points so picked up two Real Techniques sponges as my old one was fit for the bin.

I got the Miracle Complexion Sponge and the new Miracle Sculpting Sponge, which I'm excited to try as I heard Sharon Farrell raving about the sculpting sponge in a recent video so though as it was BOGOHP I'd give it a try and see.

I want to get the GlamGlow Supermud mask as my skin is continuously breaking out on me but Ii cannot find it in stock anywhere, either near me or online. I've been wanting to get it for months now and haven't had any luck

You will love them! Have had LVL ones done which are as far as I know exact same! Found them brilliant getting them done again for Xmas!! Something I would get done constant but just haven't been able this year!

I've gotten 3 deliveries from Kylie cosmetics and never got caught with customs. That was back in march April time so I reckon they have copped onto what they are now! When I got mine They put price of them as €1 each not sure do they do that now?

Lastly I got the becca undereye brightner! Have only used it once and found it hard to apply and think it made my under eyes dry? Anyone know the best way to apply it?

Got the hourglass ambient palette just used it today and gave a nice glow to skin! Will play around with it! bought a Jeffrey star lipstick on a whim last night but won't have it for couple of weeks! Think a ban is in order now!!!

First proper test on my beloved Kylie lipkits and I have to say I'm in love. I'm wearing Kristen today and it is honestly such a beautiful colour. I've had 4 cups of tea, an apple and my Sunday roast and 99% of the product is still on my lips. My father is amazed because he is forever giving out about the lipstick stains on the mugs!

Ooohhhh I like the look of Kristen!! I ordered Leo!

I got Sleek Matte Me in Velvet Slipper at the weekend, Stunning colour but had to layer it a little as it doesn't go on my lips evenly, then after a while it feels real cakey on.. will priming help with that? maybe if I prime I won't have to use as much?

Got 2 of the matte lip creams from Dealz the other day and OMG they are FAB!!! 1.49 I think.. I got the red and a pinkey/purpley colour (think of a slightly pinker MAC Rebel?) they last really well and feel lovely on!! There are glosses as well but I only got the matte ones! IN LOVE!!

Ordered the Kat Von D London calling kit on Saturday night from debenhams - it arrived midday Monday! Trooper eyeliner plus a lipgloss and lipstick

Went to the Kat Von D launch in Debenhams on Oxford St this morning. Picked up the Lock-it foundation and liquid lipstick in Lolita. Because we were waiting in the queue for the launch, we got free mini Trooper eyeliner so I'm even happier now!

Let us know what you think of the foundation! I have it and I can't decide!

So conflicted........

KVD shade and light eyeshadow pallete

UD ultimate naked basics

I can't decide, I'm swaying towards KVD
