I'm finding that a bit with brands too. You find something you like then it gets discontinued. Ah well.

I was so overwhelmed my first day out after breaking bubble that I only lasted a couple hours then went home. 

it's quite a lot to take in, but I'm good now :) I took five days in a row this weekend to ease myself back into it

Hoping I don't get too anxious Trudi. Only planning on a few places to go so should be fine :-) Plus where I'm going isn't a big city so hopefully not many people around.

Lisa i ws mostly anxious because breaking an immuno-compromised bubble is a lot, and i didn't trust people to distance well.  

They don't, but the shops are managing it okay and i steered clear of the busiest places at busy times.  It's very liberating to know that I can pop in to the supermarket if I need to and that everyone is being asked to repeatedly sanitise - some stores even had people stood at the door welcoming customers and physically doling out sanitiser to make sure it was being used.

Trudi any progress on the hoody? Mine still hasn't moved!

still stuck on 'tracking number allocated' and has been since May 25.  I asked about it on FB again and got a patronising response along the lines of 'Couriers very busy, be patient 'hun'.

Side note.  I HATE being called 'hun'.  It's not a word.  'Hon' is one thing but 'hun' is stupid and i hate it so much.  I also feel like businesses shoudl not use endearments like that, especially in response to complaints and queries.

they also claim that 'all businesses are dealing with delays like this'.  I can get something delivered from Aus in 3 days but it takes a month to come from within NZ?  no.

Ooon another note i was going to do a mecca order for some more bumbum cream (which i see isnt available online now :'( ) and the glow kit which also isnt available, sooo... anything else worth having a go at? Lol
trudijoy
8375 posts
yeah exactly.  'Tracking Number allocated to item' on May 25th and nothing since - I seriously doubt it's the couriers not actually collecting it, even though couriers are very very low on the list of people whose work ethic i respect. 

they also dgaf on socials and email, all you get it 'yeah it'll come'

It's annoying bc there are 2-3 more i want but now they're ending the sale and also taking a month to send stuff i might change my mind

Mecca? Get 1 of everything :)

I got the bigger pot of tthe bum bum cream which I love but I'm one of those super annoying people that save things for special occasions so I only use it on summer days in a nice dress etc

I'm sure if I had nice china I'd save it just in case the queen came for tea!

From Sephora? Couple of restocks - Clinique hydrating jelly and Benefit brow pencil. Popped in a hair mask and eye mask, and used 100 points on a First Aid beauty cleanser. 

got two samples from a brand I had t heard of called 'Youth to the people' - a kale, green tea, spinach and vitamin cleanser and a kale, spinach, green tea and hyaluronic acid moisture cream. 


Jackie the hoody brand just dropped pre-orders and another girl mentioned she's having to wait forever for her delivery and they removed her post, so now I don't want to order from them again, even though there are two more hoodies I want.

That sux about the hoodies! Crappy customer service is frustrating! Today was great, only once I got a bit antsy cause a couple were being grotty and coughing hardout and not covering their mouths....I went the other way! Got a few bits and pieces, nothing exciting lol. But was nice to get out :-)

Sephora have just launched quite a big sale on their site. It has lots of KVD & Zoeva, and also some ABH, Pat McGrath, Marc Jacobs, Fenty and Natasha Denona. Lots of high end brands that you don't normally see on sale.

Yes I looked at that sale, almost fell for that Fenty gloss set but talked myself out of it ... I DONT NEED MORE. I was hoping for a certain Zoeva palette but wasn't included

i wasn't going to look at the sephora sale, but the exact lipstick i wanted and they never delivered a few months ago is on there.

then again, they told me it was impossible to get more, so do i trust it?

hoody update:

emailed them and posted to their FB and basically said it's not good enough, and the sales manager finally got back to me and forwarded on her own emails to the couriers which are being autoresponded to but not answered.  We've agreed that this isn't fair on me so I've been offered an extension of the sale price if i want to order later (like next week) once it comes, which seems fair. 

Apparently they've been having a lot of issues with couriers collecting but not updating, so possibly an incompetent local courier?
