A Little Something Extra

I am actually writing this section post even before I have received the palette. Why? Because I feel like I need to talk about the BeautyBay website and how checking out the palette went. So, on the 28th of September, the Jaclyn Hill x Morphe Collaboration Palette launched on the BeautyBay website. Jaclyn snap-chatted that the launch would happen at 9 is on the website. I was working that day and I only get 45 mins break. I checked the website 8:30 am and the palette was already on there, and I later found out it was an early access for registered members. I added it to my cart, and it wouldn't let me sign in. I, therefore, created new account thinking that I must have changed my password and forgot, but no, it wouldn't let me sign into the new one either. I was there for half an hour until the page suddenly came up as being out of stock. My heart sank, as I had been trying to check out nearly for all of my breaks, and they don't have a customer service line either so I co...

Ok, so it might look like I am spending a ton, but my last haul was the last month, as it took so long to get here.  I have to address if you have read the blog post before this one, you'll know I am all about the limited edition palettes. When I first saw this palette I have to admit that I didn't really immediately fall in love with the shade selections. The packaging is phenomenal, but the shades I found to be a bit meh as they are not traditionally grouped together to similar tones, and they are a little all over the place. I knew I was going to buy it because I have a thing where the lusting after the limited edition holiday palette by Kat Von D just gets to me. What got me super excited was her swatch video on her youtube ( here ). The shades have so many different finishes and dimension that it just had me drooling. The con I feel like for the palette was the release date. They announced the palette and then two weeks later it was coming out. I ...

When I first heard about this collection I was all over this. Desi Perkins is my number one when it comes to youtube videos. I think she is so beautiful and genuine, so I knew anything she would come out with would be the bomb. I had alarms dedicated to this launch and timed it right to the second when it would launch. Lucky for me I finished work at 3pm and the launch was 10am pacific eastern standard time which is 6pm in the Uk so I was ready, and waiting at my laptop.I have to give Dose of Colours mega probs for the checkout. I got everything that I really wanted and paid with no problem and got a confirmation about 10minutes later. My only con about the whole thing was shipping. I had to wait almost a month for it to arrive, which is the longest I've ever had to wait for a package from the US. I also had to pay £19 in duty and customs which was a pain. So in the end, I had to pay around £60 for everything. Which is what I paid in dollars initially. The Packaging really ...
