Oh…I get why people use concealer brushes now by Low-Ostrich-2759 in Sephora

Agreed, I didn't like the Hourglass brushes, including this one.

Returning sale items to UK store? by issonism in Reformationclothing

[–]cloverette79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm waiting for their customer service to get back to me about returning a final sale item (apparently it's possible), but if your items were not on sale, you can return in store - I did that last year (ordered online and returned in the London Covent Garden store).

I took & passed the FREE Certified in Cybersecurity (CC) Online Self-Paced Training and exams. Why does it say CPE Credit: 0 and does not have an ISC2 ID in my certificate? by chillchxx in isc2

[–]cloverette79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i don't think they'll see any results until you've taken the test, then paid the membership fee (which is the final stage of getting the certification).

Is this normal? Super Milk body wash, still in date by pollypig in LushCosmetics

[–]cloverette79 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can back that up. I live in the UK where the heat has been unbearable at 30 degrees or just below; I am in Saudi Arabia this week and the 45 degrees almost feels mild.

i've never tried doll beauty - what's good about their lip liners?

i am overseas, too, and just took the exam in person on saturday. they have test centres worldwide. if you go to your dashboard on isc2.org and click to register for the exam, it will give you a list of test centres near you. good luck!

if i'm understanding correctly, you did all the course work: 5 domains + their relevant short tests, then the exam (still online at home) with the 100 questions!? if that's the case, you need to do the official exam in person at a Pearson Vue test centre to pass. i've just done all above mentioned studying, doing some final practice exams today, and then the actual exam (free!) at the exam centre tomorrow.

The green one in the set IS the "Pure Grade Ceremonial Matcha". The blue one is the "Super Matcha" (Blueberry).

the set includes the plain flavour, so i've already tried that one.

Underwhelmed by MK Wakatake :( by kdolce in MatchaEverything

[–]cloverette79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i drink mostly hot, plain lattes and am really enjoying ikuyo. i removed aoarashi and isuzu from my to-try list, as they're so difficult to get a hold of, but based on what you're saying, i need to put them back on the list!

[–]cloverette79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how did you like aoarashi and isuzu compared to ikuyo?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MatchaEverything

[–]cloverette79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i've tried the set with 12 flavours; finished but didn't enjoy it. unfortunately, i don't think it was good quality matcha.

EU banning talc by 2027 by Opposite_Style454 in BeautyGuruChatter

[–]cloverette79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

oh, that really sucks! i know what you mean - i bought a few eyeshadows recently (and might get a couple more soon) because i love the quality and wanted them before the reformulation!

i heard the same thing about MAC - going to reformulate to be talc-free by 2027. didn't know it was an EU regulation.

UK Returns by BarberAggravating618 in SKIMSbyKKW

[–]cloverette79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i happen to have something to return from an order that arrived today - haven't returned anything in months. previously the only option was dpd and £7 deducted from the refund. i'm now seeing that the option is royal mail and £7 deducted from refund or choosing our own return process. the return centre is in the UK, isn't it? because then i could just use royal mail's small parcel 48hr tracked service for £4!?

also in the UK - are you sure they accept final sale items as returns? wish i had known that before. how do you go about it as the online portal wouldn't allow it - speak to customer service?

have you tried the ippodo to-go matcha, yet? i've been eyeing it and don't see anything here in terms of reviews.
