Has anyone used them before?

I ordered samples from them but haven't received them yet. I haven't even received a confirmation email or anything. I emailed them with the contact information given on the site but it came back and said it couldn't get through. I've sent another email hoping this one does get through but I'm starting to feel like I got screwed. According to my PayPal and bank statements they've taken my money but other than that I have heard nothing from them.

I have received an order from them and TBH I found the shadows to pale in comparison to the swatches on-line. They are very glittery and pretty, just not as bright as I would have liked. And I think a bit too glittery for my taste.
I know she has been very backed up with orders and communication has been lacking. I did not get any kind of confirmation other than the email from Paypal when I paid and then I received my samples about a month later - this was 2-3 months ago so they may be even more behind now.

I recently ordered a LOT of samples from them. The samples are big, and crazy cheap. So if they take forever to get to me(which I've heard from a lot of people), ok. When I do get them, it'll be well worth it.

Edit to say bad things I've heard:

-They don't always ship out, or they take longer than they say.

-Most colors are really glittery

....? I know, I was just saying I bought from them. Petrina 345 has a review on them up on youtube, if that makes you happy.

and you can follow the related videos to tons more reviews with swatches and the such.

Alright, I received them today and they were sent to the wrong address. I tried a few of the samples and I have to say that they are pretty much crap. I wouldn't buy from them again.

lol, yep, after all the waiting and unanswered emails I was pretty dissapointed too. I'm hoping that layering them over MAC paints, paint pots or shadesticks will help a little with the color payoff though. Going to try my hand at that this weekend so I'll try to remember to post pics

Thank you very much.

I'm so upset, these pigments were a total letdown.

You might try calling paypal about the address thing? It sounds like that happens a lot, and considering the address on paypal is the only one sellers can ship to and be protected, it's a bit unfair to include the wrong address thing in any reviews and I'm sure really inconvenient for you. I think paypal has pretty decent customer service, but I've never had to call them about an address change.

I have called PayPal before and emailed them. They have 0 customer service. Believe me, I've been through battles with PayPal before.

Yes, the companies can ship to another address. That's why I sit there and fill out a different billing address and different shipping address so I surely can include that these companies are sending to the wrong address. It is there responsibility to keep my records until it is sent. Besides, this place sent me 0 emails until I emailed them about it twice. When I looked at it, as with others the address is just how I put it so it their fault, not mine.

I am lucky that I am not still away at college or I would be even more angry.


And not as if this is anyones business but I don't always use PayPal.

I wasn't trying to tick you off or anything, just thought I'd contribute as it seems to be something that happens to you on a fairly regular basis. Confused
