And you should try entering her giveaway anyway. I know there's a lot of competition but you can't win it unless you're in it! And you have nothing to lose and it's fun to try anyway. And slaps Goddess Fortuna, why doesn't she like you? You're lovely. You never know, the wind might change soon ;) and thanks for teaching me some German. Pass auf dich auf (see, you're a good teacher :) ) Mylanqolia, I hope you can find some trusty swapper that can get you what you need :) Yeah, Ana is a really lovely, clever and talented girl and I’m sure she’ll get something from you if you ask her.

I'm not around much during the holidays, but I always reply to comments once I get back, I love talking to you guys. Thanks for being so understanding :) Thanks for the compliment on my English, but yours is excellent too. I studied English at school, but they only taught us the basics. I just love the English language so much that I started learning it on my own by reading books and watching videos. There's still a lot I have to learn, though. I also studied Latin at school and like you, I couldn't understand why lol. Most schools here only teach English, but there are some that teach French, Spanish and Latin as well. Unfortunately my school only taught Latin and English, or I would have choosen French or Spanish since they are more useful than a dead language. I would love to learn Dutch or German too but I don't know how lol, they aren't taught at schools here, well only at unis. yeah, I need to blame youtube too for making me want Primark cosmetics lol. That place is so bad and has created so many lemmings lol. have you tried this forum? http://www.beautyswapshop.co.uk/ I found it out recently and haven't registered yet but it's a uk based forum so hopefully you'll find someone that can help you. I have a couple of friends in the UK I can ask to send me stuff. One is Ana from Lipsticks & Lightsabers (link in my blogroll). If you send her an email, I'm sure she'll get you want you want. She's also having a giveaway at her blog at the moment and one of the prizes is the Graphite palette. ;) I haven't ordered the eyeliners yet cos I don't trust making orders during the holidays with the postal services being busier than usual, but as soon as they're over, I'll order them. can't wait :) I'm glad to take any requests my readers have. I'm not sure I can fulfill them all but I'll certainly do my best :) Feel free to make any requests you want in the future hun and I hope to have the EOTD pix up as soon as possible, I just need to crop them :) Mylanqolia, I hate replying to comments so late, that’s a pet peeve of mine I guess but sometimes I can’t help it.

I'm not your strict granny who reprimand you for that. But I'm happy anyway that you answered. :-) Thanks for the compliments on my English language but believe me, yours is way better than mine. Have you studied it, by the way? Yes, it's quite unfair that so many Dutch people can speak German as they learn it at school. But guess what! There are any Dutch lessons offered at schools in Germany. French, Spanish and Latin (well, I don't have any idea why we learn a dead language - Italian would be much cooler) are the only available foreign languages. I've chosen French and Latin and I admit that I regret it now. :-(Well, I've only ordered the Curious palette (I have to pay 9, 44€ in general, i.e. 1 cent more in total which isn't the end of the world) because the Graphite was sold out. Besides, I'm more interested in the upcoming limited editions. :-) Hey, what a coincidence! Let me guess-you were also infected by the Primark cosmetics virus after having watched some youtube vids. ;-) Well, I think it's not that easy to find a swapper there. I've already asked Faye at http://www.prettyhead.co.uk/ to search for a forum for me with willing swappers but her search wasn't successful in the end. Besides, I'm too shy to ask a British guru as I feel like a sponger. Maybe we should do a blog appeal.;-) Yeah, you're absolutely right. London, especially the Oxford Street, is overcowded by tourists. I prefer the North of England considering shopping. But Primark and Superdrug didn't sell my most-wanted cosmetics wehn I've been there. Oh, I'm curious to read your first review on the eyeliners by Pixi and Pop Beauty. But don't worry I can wait. :-) Thanks so much for doing a purple and green e/s combo! It's great that you take my request into consideration. To be honest, I didn't know that you accept requests so I was uncertain to ask you. But hey, thanks again!

That's good that Alice can speak German too, I wish I could speak so many languages too. And your English is very good actually ;) I hope you enjoy your palettes, which ones are you gonna get apart from Curious? Unfortunately I don't think Primark products can be bought online. I've been looking for them too but so far no luck. It's a shame cos they have so many nice things at very cheap prices. There are no Primark stores here in Italy either and I discovered the brand when I went to London. I only got some clothes then cos they didn't sell makeup at the time, at least I didn't see any. But I hate shopping at their store in Oxford Street, it's always so crowded! I think the only option is to ask someone that lives in the UK to get the goodies for us. As for Pixi and Pop Beauty, I'm interested in the eyeliners and primers mostly. Everything else looks pretty too, esp the pop eyeshadow palettes but I don't think I'll end up using all the colors in them lol. They posted on their website that their new site would be launched shortly but that was in August! They should be ready pretty soon now but the waiting is awful! I wish they told us if they have been having problems or why it's taking so much. But it'll be worth the wait once the site is launched ;) Of course I can. I adore purple and green and they look so well together. I'll go play with makeup now and see what I can come up with :) Hi hun, I forgot to say yesterday that I’m sorry it has taken me a couple of days to reply, but I had been away for the weekend.

Guess what! I got in touch with dear Alice. She offered me to write in German, which is much better, as I make too many mistakes in English. Shame on me - I'm no language genius. :-( Yeah, it's cool that my sis can speak Dutch but she doesn't have the time to translate for me as she is very busy. I'd have asked her but well, I have to wait. I'm just her sis. I'm not the queen or the pope. ;-) Anyways, I wanted to order at glamr (yeah, it was pixiwoo who mention them!) but all of the Sleek limited editions e/s palettes are out of stock. Shite happens. But since I know that Alice can speak German, I'm not that fond of glamr anymore. Do you know by chance where I can get the super cheap Primark cosmetics items, which some british youtubers present in their vids? I'm totally interested in testing the Primark stuff but I can't find any online shops that offer the cheap brand. Besides, I don't have any Primark shop in my local area, so I have to order them online. Pixi and Pop Beauty stuff looks promising, by the way. I have to wait for your reviews on them. :-) Which items will you purchase? Any preferences? You're absolutely right in saying that people getting tired of waiting for the shop. I'd appreciate it when they keep us updated about the development of the shop. I mean, this would be fair as some people actually don't know about the online shops. Thanks God purple will become a must in spring. By the way, could you do a purple and green eye make up for me? I'd be happy to see a colour explosion on your eyes again. Thanks so much in advance.

I wish I could speak it too, but I have to rely on google translator instead, and that doesn't always come up with good translations. So I was relieved that the owner speaks English too. :) I've heard of the Glamr website from pixiwoo (at least I think it was them). I haven't bought anything from them yet but I might do after the holidays. They have a few brands like Pixi and Pop Beauty that I'm interested in trying. And then there's Sleek of course. The owner of the Dutch shop gave me the shipping prices for Italy but I think they are the same for all Europe. Here they are: 1 product: €1,78 2-4 products: €3,75 5-8 products: €5,95 9 or more: €9,00 If you pay by paypal though there's an extra fee to cover paypal fees. In total I paid €9,43 (€6,99 for the palette, €1,78 for p&p and €0,66 for paypal fee). If you don't pay with paypal, getting the palette from Glamr or the Dutch shop should cost you pretty much the same. Sleek have been saying for months on their website that they are gonna launch their ecommerce site soon, so I think they'll do it. But they should get a move on, people are tired of waiting! That would be awesome! I hear purple is gonna be very in this upcoming spring, so maybe they will release a palette full of those shades. They totally should anyway ;) Mylanqolia, that’s cool that your sister speaks Dutch.

My sister studied it at uni but I can't ask her everytime to translate for me. So it's good to know that I can write to the owner in English. By the way, do you know http://glamr.co.uk/shop/ ? I've found their shop via a recent youtube vid and the shop seems to be reliable. I always try to compare the shipping costs. How much did you paid for shipping at the Dutch shop? At shadesbeauty.moonfruit.com I paid for two items around 5 bucks, err, 5 pounds (2.99 fixed costs plus extra shipping) which means a lot in comparision to the glamr-shop. Unfortunately, sleek haven't launched their official shop yet. I don't know if they ever do so. Maybe next year, who knows... Yes, 12 different colours of purple made by Sleek-I hope this dream come true.
