Cherry Culture Rant

I bought a bunch of NYX products from Cherry Culture sometime around the middle of December and it finally  arrived almost a month later… at the wrong address. This experience with Cherry Culture is by far the worst online-shopping experience I’ve ever had. 

When I placed my order, I used a promotional offer code for free shipping. They quickly sent me an email saying this: 

Dear Amy

Please note that to process your order there will be a shipping charge of $6.95 apply to your account.

Free shipping promotion is for U.S. Orders only.

I was kind of disappointed but whatever. I really was excited for my order so I didn’t mind paying for shipping. So then I waited and waited for them to send out my order. After about a week, my order was still in “Review” (a process that’s only supposed to take 1-2 days). So I emailed them asking them why they haven’t shipped out my order yet. They replied saying this:

Dear Amy

We have emailed you regarding your order. Free shipping promotion is for U.S. orders only. To process your order, a shipping charge of $6.95 will be applied to your account.

Please let us know how you wish to proceed.

Well fuck, if they actually mentioned “Please let us know how you wish to proceed” in the first email, I would have. But when they said a charge will be applied to my account, it seemed to me like they were just going to do it as opposed to asking for permission.

So fine, I emailed them back telling them to proceed. But because of the delay, I told them to change the shipping address from my Mississauga address to my Waterloo address. They emailed me back saying they changed the shipping address – however, when I checked my account, they didn’t include the Unit Number. So I had to email them again and tell them to include the Unit Number.

After all these emails, they finally shipped off my order. Then after waiting for another 2 weeks, the packaged still arrived at my Mississauga address.

Useless? Yes.

Grrrrr! I am still waiting to see how my NYX products turn out. I hope its worth the struggle, but I highly doubt it will be. After all this, I find out that there’s a store near-by that sells NYX products. Sigh.

The first week of classes is barely over but looking at my calendar, I already have 2 weeks of death scheduled for Feb 23-27 and March 16-20. So if the first week doesn’t kill me, there’s a backup.

Merry Xmas =)

This video is a must-watch! I love communitychannel, she’s so hilarious, random and pretty… This video (They Fired Santa) and her Easter Bunny video are my favs… Enjoy!

Go Doobieeeeeeee! lol

CS Contour & Blush Palette

Coastal Scents is pretty awesome. I placed my order for the Contour & Blush Palette on December 9th and it got here by December 17th. Mind you, this is getting shipped from Florida to Mississauga during the holiday rush, so I thought it would take at least 2 weeks (that’s how long it took last time). I am very impressed with their shipping and concern for their customers. The palette is half the size of my macbook but it came in a huge box with lots of bubble wrap and paper stuffing to make sure the powders don’t crack. And, Coastal Scents always sends you a little something extra. When I first ordered the Ultra Shimmer 88 e/s palette, they also sent me a little sample jar of eyeshadow. This time, they sent me a mini-kabuki brush =) 

I really really love this palette. I’m not disappointed at all. All the colours are matte, velvety smooth and well pigmented imo. The only tiny bad thing is that it’s a bit drying on my skin… so I think I have a reason to pick up some Fix+ from MAC yay! 

As for these ( . )( . ) …since nobody volunteered their breastesses, I had to try it on myself.

Eve Pearl is a bloody miracle worker. Watch and see…

This is another reason why I can’t wait for my contouring palette. If anyone wants new boobies for xmas, come find me!

Oh, Happy Day!

It feels fucking awesome to be done exams! 23 days of pure freedom feels even better! YAYYY!!!!11!1!! =D Now its time to get cracking on some good ol’ Xmas shopping! Starting tmr (right, Joanna?)!!!

Actually, I have already started some Xmas shopping online. I got the new contour & blush palette from Coastalscents.com!!! I can’t wait for this to come in the mail. Hopefully it will get here by Xmas!  I will do a review on the palette once I get it. 

Contour & Blush Palette

I love all the colours, but I bought it especially for the dark brown and white pans. I’ve been wanting to do contouring & highlighting for a while since my cheeks are SO chubby =( Let’s see if I can have chiseled cheekbones like Blair.

See the difference? Ah, I love her!
