I got the Ikea last weekend after we 'talked' about it, and I LOVE IT.  So much room!  I feel like Kramer driving in his luxury lanes.  I am still organizing and figuring it out, but the Alex is probably the best furniture purchase I have ever made from IKEA.  (And I've made a lot!)

Got mine today. This black hair or pube is embedded/baked into this shadow. Sorry abt bad photo- using my iPhone. Tried calling Ud, but they are "taking a beauty break" according to automated message.

 

[Hellocat4]

When I pulled the hair, the shadow started breaking, which is why it is cracked. I didn't pull it all the way because I want ud to see it. I got a hold of them. I have to return it. Going to library to print off return form. What a pain. I know I won't get it for weeks now. They're so slow. At least I ordered Glinda from sephora, and that won't take long. The more I examine this- it is a pube. It is definitely human.

 

[Hellocat4]

Another photo of the pube. I am not pleased. I hate mailing things, which is why I rarely return anything. In this case, I refuse to keep it though. This is so gross. I feel Ud should mail me a replacement as a courtesy and trust I will ship this back. It isn't my fault and I have pictures

Huh, that's weird! I can see it happening in production..Makes me wonder what else could be in any item we get, ya know? I don't see UD fighting with you on this..They seem to have pretty good CS from what I hear.

On another note...how fast do you ladies think these palettes will sell? I'm trying to hold off til next week to pick up Glinda, when I get paid. I just want to cushion myself for now, but I'm super tempted to just hurry up and snatch one up!

Well, I got a new Ulta catalog in the mail today and it's on the front cover. Also UD is having a sale on Hautelook on Monday so the palettes could be in that as well. These may go pretty quickly.

 

[Hellocat4]

The only other time I had an issue with a product I had to return (yrs àgo with sephora), they made it so easy. They had labels included and immediately sent replacement.  It wasn't contingent upon receipt, and it was a higher value item- a clarisonic.  They were so good about it.

 

[LAtPoly]

I imagine they'll still be plenty available at Sephora.com and UrbanDecay.com.  I could see them being (temporarily) out of stock in a physical Sephora store since they just released them and I bet they are a hot seller.  But, I've never seen any LE item by UD disappear in a week, let alone a month.  I think you're safe to wait a week...

Highly doubt the Oz palettes will be on Hautelook. 99% of the items they throw up on Hautelook are what you see on UD's sale page.  Or, if they aren't on UD's sale site before they are on Hautelook, then they almost always go onto UD's sale page within a few days of the Hautelook sale.  Prices stay the same for the most part on both sites but I have seen them reduce them on Hautelook if it has been on the UD.com sale page for some time already.

Had they not just thrown a bunch of NEAT stuff on the sale page, I would be on Hautelook first thing on Monday.  But since they updated their sale page today, I'd bet every item on Hautelook will be what from there.  I'll check it out, but not going to worry about being there right at 8am.

IN OTHER NEWS...Urban Decay TOTALLY got me today!  I've always loved their Stardust shadows.  I only own two (Space Cowboy and Diamond Dog) so...I picked up the rest.  They're like PixieDust for your eyelids!  They have the prettiest micro-shimmer!  It's very unique IMO.  They aren't super pigmented but they are a gorgeous wash of color and sparkle.  And now I have an eyeshadow to match my London PixieDust (which I L-O-V-E!!!), and I think the green shade will be fabulous with Zoya Neely or Vespa!  (Dang, now I'll need Vespa for St. Patrick Day.)

And, I'm not sure how but the Mariposa palette may have sneaky-sneaked its way into my cart.  It comes out to $1.90 a shadow and a brush (meh.).  How could I not?

I need help.  I almost made in thru January until the Oz palettes and now I've spent near $200 in more make-up.  Seriously, going cold turkey for Feb AND March...except for 1-2 more PixieDust shades.  (I'm in love with London.)  Unless UD sales out their liquid liners...then I'm in big doo doo again.

I've had to deal with UD support 2-3 times over damaged items.  They'll want at least a photo, but they've never made me mail anything back.  Both times they just sent a replacement and it came pretty quickly.  Perhaps because its an entire palette they'll want it back though...and I've done enough orders without issues they probably trust that I'm not scamming them.  

If they don't want it all back and you get a second replacement, you should consider breaking up the rest of the shadows and sell on eBay or trade them!  I'm tempted to do that myself, you can keep it reasonable (say $12 for each shadow and the BYOP/lip-gloss) and make most of the palette you keep back!  But I hate packing and shipping items so I rarely sell on eBay.

 

[Hellocat4]

Now that I contacted them on fb, they're very helpful in getting it resolved. They do want the palette to examine this hair and try to get to the bottom of it. I get that.  I want them to see it because I think it is concerning. I just want them to ship a new one now, rather than wait for my damaged one to arrive. I think they're going to do it.

I sent two photos- one was returned with a message saying it was a bulk or solicited email. I offered to take more pictures too and clarified that I didn't completely pull the hair out. It is deep in the pot and I wanted them to be able to see that.  

The woman who e-mailed me was grossed out, but doesn't think it will turn out to be a pube, because of how unlikely that would be.  I think she will change her mind once she sees it in person.

I suggest adding the palette to your shopping list or cart, so you can just immediately purchase from there.  Oftentimes a product I want sells out, but comes back in stock within hours or days.  I have faith that this palette will be in stock at least until March (when the movie actually premieres!)

I'm trying to wait until Wednesday, and yes, it's been in my shopping cart the entire time lol...I'll be pulling the trigger then and using Ebates to get my 8% cash back lol..

Just went to a sephora to see and swatch the colors in person, and they're beautiful, but there was a ton of glitter fallout on some colors, which really turned me off personally. Nothing i hate more than getting chunks of glitter all over my face or worse, under my contacts. Overall though, the Glinda palette seems like the better deal because the color selection was more versatile. The pink shade could double as blush and the lighter ones would make good highlighters.

I just picked up both Theodora and Glinda from Ulta. They had tons of them right at the front of the store, way more Glindas than Theodoras. I also got some other new spring goodies while at Ulta and some stuff from the updated UD sale. I'm using restraint not to order theBalm from HauteLook but I think I bought enough makeup for one day.

I have South all over my lid right now, and no fallout surprisingly!  I also think the silver shade doesn't have as much glitter as the gold.  I will only be using the gold part in my inner corner. Sha-bang!

 

[SnowLeopard]

All UD glitter shades have some fallout. I really don't mind because I love them so I just do my eye makeup before my face makeup. I always do my eyes first now, even when I'm not wearing a glitter.

Man, I can't wait until Monday (my birthday) to open these mo-fos.

I got in on that deal...but it was actually SEVEN shades for $49!  Every shade except for F-bomb...which was incidentally the only shade I owned at the time so I have them all now.  And...I love them and wear something wild at least once a week.  Life is short and I like bold.
