    I wouldn’t recommend the Barry M sets. I love their Dazzle Dusts, but the nail paint is awful. I got that green one, and it took 5 coats to even show up, then as a horrible translucent snot green, and after drying all night it smudged.

    Sab: they really are! I love tha packaging. I heard the fragances are ver very sweet, which is not my thing, but would be perfect for teenagers imo.

    Anastasia: thanks for letting us know. That nail polish sounds really bad!! To be honest, I was gonna recommend the Get the look gift sets, which contain 3 dazzle dusts, which I love as well, but the website says they’re out of stock, so opted for this instead.

    Ahh, I’d go for those. The urban decay pencil sets are amazing though, they’re so pigmented they’re great for adding a bold underline of colour to a look, I adore mine.

    Hun I got your package returned to me in the post D: D: D: I didn’t know it hadn’t even reached you! Man. I re-printed postage on PayPal to send it out again today, sorry for the delay!

    The get the look sets would have been much better gifts, hopefully they’ll bring them back considering they were so popular.
    I’m really lemming the Urban Decay set bu UD isn’t available here, I’ve tried ebay but I always get outbid, it’s so frustrating! I may try again afte the holidays or maybe get it while in London.

    That’s ok hun, don’t worry. I was gonna email you about the package but I thought it was the Italian post being crap as usual. They’re slow at the best of times, let alone now the holidays are approaching. I thought I’d just wait a few more days and see if it got delivered as it’s not like I can play with eyeshadow at the moment anyway. I’ve have a nasty eye infection (that’s why I didn’t enter your contest by the way, I really wanted to try the BFTE minerals but I’m sure there’ll be other chances and I don’t think I could’ve beaten Connie anyway, her look is amaziong!). I got it 3 weeks ago and it won’t go away despite the ointment and eye drops my GP prescribed me. I have an appointment with my optician on Wednesday, hopefully he’ll figure out what’s wrong. I’m fed up with not being able to wearing makeup. Thanks for sending the package again, let me know if you need me to send money for p&p again.
